I'm trying to create a kind of x-y fader to mix between tracks. I'm currently trying out the nodes object but I'm having trouble trying to keep a constant level of output. You see, I'd like to have the gain set to a constant high level and mix the nodes accordingly, like some kind of variable ratios. I can't seem to overcome a drop in the overall level even with the nodes expanded to their fullest. I also tried combining signals but that didn't seem to work either. Would appreciate any tips or ideas. I'll paste my patch for reference ( wasn't sure how to copy it so you can paste from clipboard)

you need to apply equal power panning-- I wouldn't bother use nodes at all-- better to do your own mapping, but you can adapt this patch to nodes if you want:

Wowwww. Hats off to you for all your help, I rescaled the input to 0-1000 and it's exactly what I need. Thanks a whole bunch man, may you find help as you give it!

Thanks so much man! I changed the scale input to 0- 1000 and added an if object to eliminate values less than 0 so they wouldnt come back out through. I hope you find help as good as you give!
