Why won't it pan?

I have an audio track, many tracks, actually, which will only pan in one direction. Panning one way works, panning the other way just moves it center. Here is what I've tried:
 

• Soloed track
• Converted track to mono (which I wanted to do anyway)
• Bypassed all audio effects
• Re-routed output directly to sound card output
• Removed Sends

Now I hear the original dry track, directed directly to the sound card output, in mono, with no effects. Still will only pan between right and center. If the track's Pan is centered, the track plays at 50% right. When I pan full left, the track sounds in center. What's weird is that other tracks have the same problem, but some of them only pan between LEFT and center!
 
If I output the track to the master bus, it pans correctly when I turn the master bus's pan.
 
I feel something is terribly wrong here and I'm only seeing a glimpse of the bigger problem through this panning issue.
 
Don't know if this is relevant, but yesterday I spent a long time adjusting levels and making some volume envelopes, only realizing at the end of the day that I'd been in Envelope Offset mode the whole time. This morning I sat down to re-assess all the levels but not in the Offset mode.
 
What might be causing this panning issue?

Sonitus EQ, also Sonitus Delay, which I'm not using and is disabled and was just left in there.

Are you inadveertaintly routing it to the wrong mono output on your soundcard?
 
Is there a hidden track or clip pan automation envelope that you are not seeing?

Yes, your method is perfectly workable IF the problem goes back to using offset mode.
 
OP: Double check that the track is actually set to mono interleave in the Track Inspector.
 
I just converted a Stereo Clip to Mono and yep, the interleave stayed as Stereo

Offset mode is very useful but I think Cakewalk failed at "finishing" it.  There needs to be some project level control features and some sort of visual indication it has been applied/is effecting a project. 
 
I'd think some sort of text/color-status in the control bar warning Offset mode changes are being applied and a menu item to reset/clear all offset mode changes would go a long way to making it work.

If you turn on offset mode (and the tiny button does light up) and then change things (vol/pan) and turn it off, those changes continue to effect the entire project but there is no visual indication they are being applied.  That's the part that is confusing and the issue.  And there is no way to clear/zero/reset all those offset mode changes.

And there is no way to clear/zero/reset all those offset mode changes.
 

This would be a very nice feature. I rarely use offset mode (by choice), but when I do (mostly by a mishap with a keystroke), I always do something that makes me lose what I am trying to do. Then I try to step back / backtrack until I find what stupid thing I have been doing wrong. It mostly boils down to me typing "O" by mistake. I do not think I am going to learn from my mistakes anytime soon, as I make more and more of them day by day (in my little world).
 
All the best.

The "O" key binding (default) was removed with SONAR 2015 IIRC for the reasons already mentioned.

A good example of my short term memory

In Platinum 3.2016, the "O" key still toggles Offset Mode.  Oddly, it shows up as "Unassigned" in the Keyboard Shortcut preferences (Global and Console contexts).  Yes, "O" appears removed but is still active.  At least that's what's happening with my setup.

That would seem to one of my many pits to fall into. I knew I did something wrong lately And offset mode being one of them. I might learn something some day..
All the best.

O is unassigned and definitely does nothing here (latest build). I may bind it to something now that I know that!
 
I rarely use offset but am definitely interested in clever/useful/cool applications, so bring on that tip-o'-the-week Craig!
