Same Bus but separate panning on the tracks

[WattRage]

I really have searched this forum for an answer and I wasn;t really sure where to post this question other than here...so here goes.

I have two separate guitar tracks and I want to ease the cpu load by assigning the effects I want to a single bus track and then assigning the two guitar tracks to use that bus. The problem is that I cannot pan the separate guitar tracks...one left and one right.



effects on bus A----->guitar 1 (panned left)
effects on bus A----->guitar 2 (panned right)

I want to use one effects track for 2 guitar tracks but separate panning on the guitar tracks.

Is this possible?

I am using Adobe Audtion 3.0. But I'm sure the bussing works pretty much the same for all DAW's. Have I mis-understood the way this works?

Nevermind... I think I know what the problem is. See I'm using Guitar Rig 3 as the effects on the guitars. When I use it on a bus track..for some reason no matter which way I pan the guitar tracks...it will not have any effect...both L&R channels still play. If I switch to another guitar plugin on the bus track..I can pan L&R just fine.

Really sucks because I had only wanted to use 1 instance of guitar rig 3..now I see I gotta use separate instances of it on each guitar track

I haven't used Audition, but in Sonar you have to pan the bus send separately. So if the track is panned hard left, you also have to pan the send hard left else it will send centered.

WHAT? If you have a STEREO bus paned hard l&r..you can use the main track that you are sending there to pan it..same for 2 tracks if it's going to a stereo bus and not a mono bus!!

I think you still have to pan the send or it just sends half the track to the center.
