Strange Phenomenon: Panning+Timing
So I am no expert, but I just hit upon something strange.
I separated out a tight 16th note arppegio pattern on a synth into Left and Right channels. I had them panned 20% left and right, and it still sounded tight, but when I panned them hard left, hard right, the timing seems to be way off!! like they are playing late!
can anyone explain this strange phenomenon?
