Here's a post I wrote explaining how I mix down a multi channel drum instrument. In that post, I mention going back to the Carla-in-the-middle tactic but since writing it, I've discovered something was wrong with the actual .qtr file I was working with at the time. Basically, the Insert mixdown strategy has been stable and reliable on my side of things.
If needed, I can give you a .qtz file you can use as a jumping off point. Just let me know.
