Make/create? Sorry, I'm laughing here. For many people make = create.
English is stupid, but it is what everyone uses... some of us in N America
are too stupid, arrogant or whatever to have learned a second language.
(and most people who use English as a second Language have better spelling
and gramer than native speakers)

Nope, not going there, I wouldn't have known that either. I probably would
have changed the pin connections on those two channels, unplugged the bad
side and used it as if it was mono... or something like that. Perhaps
routed the two good channels into a bus to deal with things as a stereo
channel. Making four mono regions and using two sounds better.

General rule, feature change takes some time, gui change to make that
