I just found out Alton Brown has a new YouTube channel. His first video is an update to his turkey recipe from all those years ago:

As someone in a similar boat as OP, I would love to know more!

Turns out early audio consoles with stereo didn’t have a pan knob. They had a pan switch. So choices were limited to left, right, or center (mono).

Wasn’t til later that the pan pot was invented allowing incremental panning and true stereo mixing.

I mean, you can make eye contact with it if you want.

What’s it’s name? I named mine “Mr. Roombastic”

This would be a great question for chatGPT.
