Panning Issue: Ableton Drum Sound Not Centered

Post by rambam » Sat Oct 22, 2022 3:11 am

Hi there,

I'm using an Ableton Drum Rack (Timbales), some of the sounds are shown as being Center, but they're either a little Left or a little Right.

I would have to adjust each one about half way in either direction to get it sounding "center." Is this a glitch and is there a way to get them back to center automatically?

Thanks

As far as I can see from the waveforms on each Sampler device, some of the sounds have been recorded already panned to one side (waveforms louder on one side than the other).
If you want ALL the drums dead centre you could add a Utility device at the end of the chain and set it to Mono. Then maybe send it to a reverb to widen it up a little.
