How do you guys usually fix sounds that cant be panned?

[last geode]

I've made a simple two-chord loop with a Rhodes from Analog Lab V, and I'm trying to pan that audio from left to right, but when I pan 100% right, the audio goes completely silent. I'm assuming this is because the preset is in mono, but isn't there typically a way around this?

[loud spoke]

it seems to being working fine for me, and im using the exact preset you mentioned

[last geode]

Can you try this exact Rhodes and tell me if it pans for you?

[loud spoke]

perfectly fine

[last geode]

Strange

[loud spoke]

could you try disabling all effects, maybe something is acting up

[last geode]

When i pan mine left it continues playing in both ears

[loud spoke]

click the yellow switch looking thing at the bottom

[last geode]

Ive turned it off, same thing

ive had this problem on two projects atp

[loud spoke]

give me a screenshot of your mixer

[last geode]

sorry im back so late

[last geode]

Took a short break from trying to fix it and changed up some stuff in the loop

[loud spoke]

your dont seem to have panning or audio playing

[last geode]

lemme retake it w panning and audio rq

So in this sc its panned left but its still playing the exact same in both ears

and when I pan right it just straight up mutes itself

[loud spoke]

could you by any chance using a mono headphone/listening device

@last geode

[last geode]

I have studio mixing headphones, but I sometimes use my earbuds because the headphones don't give a good representation of how the audio sounds on a casual listener's device

It's the earbuds I'm using right now

I'll switch to the headphones to see if there's a difference though

but it does say stereo (earbuds)

[loud spoke]

hmm

if switching doesnt work, i just want you to confirm that your device can actually listen in stereo by opening a new empty project, put in an audio, and pan it, nothing else

or it's the audio device in the settings that's messing up

maybe try FL Studio ASIO to test

[last geode]

Okay

so for the first thing

I have many other projects where I've successfully panned drum patterns, VST loops and many other things so its likely not the system or listening device

[loud spoke]

mhm

[last geode]

And using asio didnt fix it either

but

i noticed something

When I pan the sound from left to right, the chorus and reverb effects (I didn't add them, they're baked into the rhodes) becomes more dominant in the ear im panning to

but the actual piano keeps playing in both

[loud spoke]

i have never seen this problem before 🤔

[last geode]

its so strange 😭

ive tried everything i know of including stereo imaging

im sure ill get to the bottom of it at some point today

On the other project where I had this issue it's even worse because the sound is supposed to have sort of a "call and response" dynamic between the left and right ears but i couldnt get it to work

[loud spoke]

it sounds like the panning knob is panning the effects and not the sound

[last geode]

exactly

effects that are baked into the sound/vst btw

ill keep digging

[loud spoke]

this is so cursed

[last geode]

😭 fr

even more cursed is that it happens with the consolidated audio too

[loud spoke]

i have no idea how to fix either 💀. but, if you also cant figure it out on your own, i think panda can help because he's just that good

[last geode]

Thanks man, ill definitely reach out to him, i greatly appreciate your help

[loud spoke]

also try asking in #❔◾questions because people seem to see that channel more often

[last geode]

ill try a few more things i can think of then take a break and reach out later td

[last geode]

oh kk

bless bro 🙏

[last geode]

I think I may have found the issue

It could be my computer in and of itself, not the headphones or earbuds

I'm not sure when whatever setting that has changed was changed, but there is literally no longer any stereo separation, even on my old projects where there was
