Pan law?

In SONAR, Pan law is found in Preferences | Driver settings | Stereo Panning Law. It is project specific. New project uses last project's setting (I suppose). Thus you should check that pan law is correct. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has mixed the song with incorrect pan law setting. Current Pan law is not shown in the track view or control bar so you must either remember it or check it from the Preferences.
 
Panleft, panright, pandown, panup!
 
EDIT: Added useful links mentioned in this thread.

Thank you panup

Just had a look at my setup and I am using the default which is "0dB center, sin/cos taper, constant power"
 
So now I am confused and wondering if I should just ignore this.
 
The SOS article doesn't mention anything about "sin/cos taper, constant power"

Is this Panu's law?!

Is Pan law a project setting or a general SONAR setting?  If it's saved with the project you will have to edit all your project templates.  Since each new project will get whatever is setup in the template you start with.  This is true for all the per-project settings in SONAR.  If you want to change any of these you have to fix every template you use.  But I'm not sure Driver Settings is like that.  Anyone know for sure?

A quick test says it is saved in templates, so if you want to change it you will need to fix your templates.

Here's an article that tells what you need to know about pan laws, which pan law I've chosen, and why. I'm sure you'll find Figure 3 interesting, which shows how different panning laws affect signal level when panned to one side or in mono.
