So I opened a project yesterday and all three active busses were in mono. They weren't when the project was saved on Saturday and I was unable to find the source of the problem. Some quick background:
Saturday: One bus had 7 tracks routed to it, each track is mono and panned in various places around the sound stage. This bus had one FX -- the Abbey Road Mono-->Stereo Reverb (it was playing in stereo earlier). Second bus had EZKeys routed to it, playing in stereo (no FX). Third bus was the Master, with no FX.
Sunday: The Master played only in mono, even with the mono/stereo button showing stereo. The EZKeys bus played in mono, also regardless, even though the EZKeys
track showed stereo (and played stereo when I bypassed the Master bus and went directly to the output of my Focusrite A/D unit). The 7-track bus was also mono BUT even the 7 tracks themselves played in mono despite pan selections.
I tried everything I could think of (clicking the mono/stereo buttons on/off, removed the FX in the EZKeys bus, etc.), but in each nothing changes. Only when I bypassed the busses and went directly to the Main Focusrite output did stereo return.
I ultimately deleted the two non-Master busses, added replacements and everything worked fine.
Any ideas? Thanks,
Steve
