suddenly, panning doesn't seem to work
I'm on 9.51
All of a sudden, my panning doesn't seem to work. This is on tracks that I've been working on for awhile. They definitely weren't like this before.
Ideas?
Thanks

Re: suddenly, panning doesn't seem to work
Please give us a little more detail... Audio, MIDI, VI? what are you doing, hearing and seeing?

Mono Folddown selected on the Master fader? Does your audio output device have a mono button?

Re: suddenly, panning doesn't seem to work
We needs lots more info. For example, my stereo tracks record properly but which way I monitor from my interface when tracking affects if I'm monitoring in mono or stereo—sometimes, I don't have a choice in this.

Re: suddenly, panning doesn't seem to work
It's happening with every audio track in the project. When I rotate the pan knob, I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary. The only difference in sound is that it gets a little quieter as I pan full left or right. Center detent is louder. No panning at all.
I tried monitoring with headphones from my interface (828mk3 Hybrid), from the monitor controller (m-patch2), and straight out of the macbook pro. All of these had the same effect.
I did check the master fader for mono folddown (I never even really noticed that was there), and "none" is selected.
I've checked a few different projects, and this is the only one that's doing it.

Re: suddenly, panning doesn't seem to work
All were recorded to mono tracks. A couple have stereo inserts that have effectively turned them into stereo tracks. The problem occurs on both.
Re: suddenly, panning doesn't seem to work
Is there a plug on the master with a mono out setting?

Re: suddenly, panning doesn't seem to work
So, it seems it was something with the Waves API2500 and an aux track. Thanks for the help.

Re: suddenly, panning doesn't seem to work
Plenty of times I’ve felt that way and usually, I end up making the file mono if I can’t get the pan balance, right but I do understand I don’t have an explanation for that quirkiness that does happen in digital performer
