Recording two different sources to one stereo file

[Taiseiyou]

Hello,

I am simultaneously recording a guitar amp and DI. They are both mono signals, but my interface can send them to a single mixer track in stereo, amp on the left, DI on the right. I plan to record them both as a stereo track and use Stereo Shaper to isolate each channel, essentially I will split them apart during playback.

I have done it before and it does work well in theory, but before I go this route again, I was wondering if anyone could foresee complications with this process. Will the "split" mono tracks be identical to what could have been recorded in mono using two tracks, or will there be some kind of gain reduction or other "corruption"?

The reason I am interested in doing this is that the DI and Amp recordings are of the same performance, and editing one stereo recording is much simpler than editing two.

Thank you for the feedback.
