Maybe i was not clear about the panning:

Say I have four (midi) drum tracks in a finished track in cubase before i export to wav audio.

These tracks have already been eq'ed, effected and panned.
So do I just leave the panning the way it is in cubase and then record the tracks to four loops for say a bar each.
Or reset the panning and do it in ableton.

Does this make sense? ;)
