Can't pan a mono audio track?
Can't pan a mono audio track?
Hi all, I have Live 6.0 (I'm too broke to upgrade) for widows xp and an M-Audio 1010lt soundcard. I'm having an issue with panning a mono track after recording. If it comes in on ch.1 as mono, it shows a single wave in the track view, but whe I go to session view and try to pan, there is no "movement" of the signal from one side to the other. This is the same for all inputs and all tracks are set to external in and just a singular input- i.e. "1" not "1/2". Never had this problem before, it just kinda came out of nowhere. Any help???

You can't pan mono. That's why it's mono. Mono means there's no left/right, only... mono.
Re: Can't pan a mono audio track?
You can tweak the pan knob but the signal doesn't move between speakers? What effects do you have on the track? Are you using any sends?

Additionally, try and refrain from posting the exact same question in multiple threads... This forum is full enough of garbage as it is.
Re: Can't pan a mono audio track?
yeah, sorry 'bout the double post. It's a dry signal. No fx, plugins,etc. I've recorded in the past in mono (i.e. guitars, bass and mics are a MONO out signal) and had no problems panning the track to the left or right, but now it stays in the center regardless of pan knob position.

Re: Can't pan a mono audio track?
yeh normally you can pan a mono track
if you need that particular rec i suppose you could easily workaround (though not true stereo of course)
does 6 the Utility plugin? try dropping one on and panning w that
or group that single mono track and use the pan on the group

thanks simmerdown, I'll have to check on the utility option when I get to practice in a bit. I'll et you know. I did consider working around through a effect or plugin of some sort. Just don't know why it's an issue all of a sudden. Thanks again.

Re: Can't pan a mono audio track?
you can try going into the recordings folder of the project and dragging it to a new track too, maybe just a glitch-o-the-day, loljeagon wrote:thanks simmerdown, I'll have to check on the utility option when I get to practice in a bit.

Re: Can't pan a mono audio track?
So here's what I figured out. Most of you are idiots who would rather be smart a$$es instead of actually helping out a fellow musician. 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

Re: Can't pan a mono audio track?
I only saw one smartass post that may have been directed at you (but not even sure about that one), so I'm not sure why you're worked up. I can't speak to the version of Live you're using, but the reason no one has a good answer for you is that there is no logical reason that should happen. Mono tracks panned to center output equally to left and right channels. You absolutely should be able to slew that around wherever you like. Being that this is a sudden development for you, I'd think you've got some queer-trons either in Live, or your project file (or an elf came lastnight and had a go at your jackfield). No clue on how you might track down the source.
