strange mono / stereo problem - with starplugs FREE vu meter

Post by Riggar » Sat Sep 10, 2011 3:49 pm

Dear Forum,
Can you help me unravel this problem?
I wanted to monitor in the master track with a VU meter.
I came across Starplugs free VU meter (which is very nice)

http://www.starplugs.com/sess/utn154e6b ... shopscript
scroll to the end (link to free doesn’t work for me)

If I put a simple stereo audio sample into an audio track, say track 1
The starplugs into the master when I pan the track 1 – audio on the right channel is missing?
Even though the starplugs unit shows a signal as does the ableton track1 meter

Setup is pretty simple, a basic audigy card; Track1 out = master; Master out = 1 / 2

If I use the PSP vintage meter – no problem

BUT if I repeat the whole exercise in Reaper (4.1) (oops sorry) no problem the meter acts as you would expect.

So what so peculiar with this bit of software and Ableton?

Win XP S/P Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 2.83 no overclock
