I came here looking for honest answers and this is what gets posted back? WHY is it so hard to expalain to me how or why a single mono track cannot be sent to just the left side of the mix or just the right side of the mix? I didn't think this was anything new in the world of recording / produciing. To the few of you who attempted to help, thank you, you should move on to a forum where the average user is one willing to help rather than criticised.

Simmerdown- I had the glitch o the day theory too, no luck. Thanks

indifferent of whether your recording is mono or stereo, the actual pan knob should do its job and pan so what you're describing is an anomaly. only thing i can think of is maybe you have utility with width set to 0% on the master or any other such mono plugin. if that's the case then bring it up to 100% or disable it.

edit > or maybe you're monitoring in mono.

Okay, I'll take the fruitcake.

If you pan mono, it won't be mono anymore. Herp derp. Come on, you know what I meant.

And the truth is, you quoted me for all eternity, so now I'll twist and turn the words until you give up :x
