PS: You won't run that easy into issues, when you use different EQ
settings for the channels of "normal" stereo signals, but even this only
makes sense as an exception. IMO people should _learn_ to use EQs that
effect the signal for the left and right channel by the same values.
_Lerning_ how to use an EQ in many cases can replace all kinds of
dynamic manipulating effects and then a good stereo mix can be done by
using "normal" panning.
