Here's the situation. I've got a small analog mixer with no group controls (sound craft epm12) and I need to control a few mics together but independently from the rest.

Since the mixer has independent faders for left and right outputs, any reasons not to hard pan most inputs to the right bus, hard pan my mics group to the left bus and jumper the left output to an unused track hard panned right ? I don't need a stereo output but I want to keep the ability to balance the mix with the tracks faders.

It would be easier with mono summing after the main mix fader but that function isn't available on that.cheap board. :-(
