    Something went wrong when I posted the original message...........................




    When I record an audio track and play it back I noticed if I pan Right 100% the track can still be heard on both sides. 

    If I pan left 100% it works fine (the track is only heard from the left side).  

    Panning left or right on my midi tracks works fine. This issue only happens on audio tracks. 


    What set-up parameters in Sonar should I check?  Sound card is a Delta-44

    This problem is happening on one project ONLY.   So it's definitely not a hardware issue

    I checked a couple of older projects and created a new project (copied a track from the "problem" project).  Panning works fine on all projects except this one.

    I am trying to understand how/why this happened.  I am assuming at one point I clicked the wrong button or something???

    Did you check the "interleave " is set to stereo. The icon is beside the Master looks like .

     I tried it with Interleave On and Off.  The results are the same.

    Ok then I'd look for a send to a bus that you are not aware of. The track might be playing double somewhere. Solo the track. Mute all but the master bus. There are some plug ins that are only mono like guitar rig.

    As Cactus Music suggests, you probably have more than one instance of the track playing -- either through a send, or a bus, etc.  So you are only panning one instance of it and the other(s) are still playing stereo (or to the opposite channel.)  Check busses, sends, or if you multiple clips / take lanes of the same recording.  I think in some versions of Sonar you can have a take lane with clip panning, and perhaps you have one take panned one direction and then you're panning the overall track the opposite?  (You would think you'd nullify the clip panning that way, but I've gotten some results that weren't what I'd expect when clip automation is set to pan one way, then I forget and pan the track separately later.)

    I don't think 'interleave would do that, but how about hidden automation lines ..or perhaps you got into 'offset mode at some point?
