Hi,

Glad you were able to figure out how to filter/remap to get the desired effect.

Oh right! I thought this was a personal project for some reason, that you were the one making the recording/mixing  😐

Thanks for breaking it down.

Still think there needs to be an easier way to perform channel manipulation, but I don’t have any ideas either...
