cant understand this one... my panning doesnt seem to work (!) when panning tracks hard right, they dont move to the right in the stereo field and i lose all my volume for that track! its like the panning control is a volume control with hard left being max volume and hard right being zero volume.....

Are both the left and right sides of the master output in Live receiving signal when the pan is in the centre?

If so it sounds like you have your sound card configured incorrectly, the signal is going out of Live in stereo but the right hand side of the stereo out in your sound card is turned down to zero.

If you can give me a little more info I will be able to help more.

It seems like your headphones are receiving a mono signal.

Good news: try to check the headphones-out on your interface and see if it's able to playback stereo. If so, it might be set to mono and you may be able to switch to stereo.

Bad news: your headphones might be broken. Try it with an other pair of headphones.
