  • [Solved] Sending to aux and panning

Hi all,
I have a guitar solo sending to an Aux track that has reverb (sonitus), which is set to "Output: Stereo". I have a second track with violin, I want this to send to same AUX reverb, but panned Right, to get some separation..but it comes to the aux track panned center no matter what I do. I tested the violin track seperately and it Can be panned right when sent directly to Master bus f.ex., no problem, just not when sending to the Aux. I try to disable the reverb, to see if that's the problem, but it's still panned center. Is it possible to do panning in the sending track?
All tracks/auxes are set to Interleave Stereo.
 
Sorry if re-post, but couldn't find any posts.

You've probably done this, but have you tried panning the send to the Aux Track?

Thanks for the reply. 
Yes, have already tried that. Should it be working just by panning the send? No effect when I try.

I gave this a quick test.
I created an aux and put a reverb on it. made no adjustments to the reverb kept it wet.
I tested with a stereo track and a mono track all outputting to master bus including the aux. It was hard to tell what the pan on the send itself is doing. Could not tell if it was panning the signal or the reverb. It's not very defined. Panning the track itself works fine and you can clearly here the instrument left or right. The panning is more noticalble with a mono track.
When I turn off the reverb on the aux both the send and track pan's work fine. You can clearly hear left and right panning.
 
 
It may have something to do with the reverb being 100% wet and you have your send level to unity.

Thanks for testing!  Awesome. However mine doesn't pan even when I disable reverb plugin. It does work in the Aux it self (the panning),  but I only want to pan the violin to get some separation from the guitar solo that also goes to this aux. Don't understand why it doesn't work, has anyone else experienced this?

How did you create the aux track? Is it an aux track or a bus the reverb is on? I would expect it to work regardless but just curious.

It's an aux (not bus)....just right clicked on the guitar track in track view, and Insert send....etc, and then routed the violin to same aux. I'm going to test this in another project.

I think in order for the reverb to pan where you want it, the reverb needs to be a mono version, not stereo

Thanks to both. Somehow it got working without me doing anything, other than restart my computer (and thereby Sonar). It is not first I experience this, and I have thought that this didn't make sense, that you can't pan when you send to aux.....I'm wondering if this is a bug, or if I'm missing something. Anyways, thanks for your time.
