Panning left and right into stereo space

[DrTroutHair]

I use a 14-track out board mixer which I send all my channels to, via a motu ultralite. I take a line out from the mixer back into Ableton via the ultralite as my mixed audio signal.

I want to get rid of the mixer and purely use Ableton. I'm about to buy Push. The one thing I find really useful about the mixer is the ability to position my channel outputs into stereo space. So, I might assign a stereo signal from Ableton, lets say track 1, to channel 1&2 on the out board mixer and mid pan left on 1 mid pan right on 2 on the outboard mixer. Using different positions for 3&4, 5&6 etc. This gives a real depth to my mixes.

In Ableton each channel only has one pan per track so I can either go left or right. So, the example above where I've a stereo signal on track 1 in Ableton, how do I position this sound like I do on my outboard mixer?

the simplest way is to create an effects rack with two chains, one for the left channel and one for the right, with a Utility device on each.

there are various other things you might want to consider when messing with stereo width however. here are some ideas:

Many thanks fishmonkey.
Your response is spot on. Exactly what I needed to know.
The Cee Lopez video complete with rack download is perfect.
I'm not too techy so its good to be able to grab something that already works.
