Don't know if this is the right place to post....anyways

Lets say I'm recording a vocalist who is singing her own multiple backing vocal parts.

I set up a M/S recording, and get her to stand a little to the left for those parts that are intended to appear left, and vice-versa for right.

My question is, after I have recorded and decoded the tracks, can I still CONTROL how much to the left I want those "left" tracks and how much to the right I want the "right" ones? Can it still be done via traditional panning in a DAW as I understand I should end up with 3 separate mono tracks after decoding????

Or do I have to decide on the spot during recording how far left or right physically she needs to be based on what I hear in the monitors?

Thanks for any info...
