Cubase SX - pan not centered ???

[Narayan FM]

Hello.

i've encountered this strange problem. when i use a mono track i hear the sound a bit on the left side. it's not centered. i first thought it might be my monitors, but then i discovered that it's the same through headphones.
what could cause that? Cubase SX2 or my soundard (EMU 1820m)?
i have to take care of this as i'm in the middle of a very important project.

any clue?

fnx.

I'd check the outputs of the soundcard first. Does it just do it in cubase, or with other audio apps, too? Does your soundcard have a software volume/pan control panel? Check that.

Make sure the main output of cubase is panned to the center.

Also, your room will have an effect on this. Is one monitor closer to a wall than the other? Room treatment helps alot.

-edit- akkk, I guess I should read the full post before replying, and your post was only 3 lines, wow, that's some case of A.D.D. I got there!
