mckee_evan Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Hey everyone, New guy here. I have spend the last 4 hours trying to get my tracks to pan, and reading through panning threads here and elsewhere, and after checking all possible issues others had mentioned, I feel like I am just going in circles. I really wanted to figure this out, as it must be something simple, but I'm losing my mind at this point. I have never had this issue before in any other project. I am running an Audit ID 44, and I checked that the mono button isn't on. I checked audio settings on my mac...no issues there. Everything seems set right in my project. Mono tracks are simply not panning at all. I haven't changed any settings on anything. Restarted computer and interface just to be thorough. Thank you for any advice. Hopefully one of you can give me a hand!! THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Are those software instrument tracks? Do you see the meters reflect your panning in Logic when you pan hard left or right? Can you post a screenshot of the pan knob and meters of the channel strip? How to attach files to your post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erreyonj Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Hey there so the OP hasn't made their way back here yet, but I'm having a similar (I think) issue. Some slight differences: - My issue is when I pan hard right I get virtually no sound coming from my headphones (iMac > Scarlet 2i2 3rd Gen > Headphones) - Although my fader peak meter is showing around -11 dB I'm actually hearing probably ~-60dB - When I pan hard left there appears to either be slightly more volume or at least no difference at all - The overall issue appears to be the case with Mono recorded guitar signal or a software instrument (See Ex's) - Its harder to tell, but this occurs on the internal iMac speakers as well I don't really know when this started as I just sort of randomly noticed it. Any help is greatly appreciated and please let me know if there's any more info I can attach! -erre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I would bypass all plugins on the bass and see where the signal sits because you have a big waveform. And turn off automation as well. Somebody is compressing the crap out of that bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erreyonj Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Sadly, I’ve tried that The waveform likely appears large because I always have a high waveform zoom for flex editing. Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Ok, then I would just add a gain plugin on the bass track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a mono source panned center and soloed in Logic, do you hear it coming from the center in your headphones? Can you check the Balance setting in your sound system preference?

Solution erreyonj Posted December 1, 2020 Solution Share Posted December 1, 2020 We can see on your level meters that the peak level is exactly the same whether you pan hard left or hard right so the issue isn't coming from Logic. If you have a mono source panned center and soloed in Logic, do you hear it coming from the center in your headphones? Can you check the Balance setting in your sound system preference? Well I figured it out. Quite embarrassed, but I'll post the fix anyway. Into my Scarlet I was plugging in my Sony MDRs into a 1/4" adapter. Took that adapter with me for a gig and lost it. When I got home I just grabbed the first 1\4" adapter I could find to get begin working again and it was unbalanced. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ However, I only considered looking more into the Scarlet because you stated it couldn't be Logic. Appreciate the help all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Thanks a lot for posting the fix, MUCH appreciated. It's always good to have feedback after giving advice, no matter how silly the solution may seem to you, who knows, someone else will most likely make the same mistake one day, and your solution will help him! So thanks again, and happy to hear you're sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
