would cancel out the effect of the lower ones and you are probably
already aware of in the CDA if you're observant enough ;) ...
Stereo panning: This allows some PC MODs to do their gnarly stereo
panning effects
Loudness: Makes your normal MODs sound louder
Balanced output: Makes the original channel sound ~93.0% as loud
as it should be and duplicates it at ~39.8% on the
opposing channel (Sonic Blaster owners should try
this besides playing with Track volume controls)
