Ok I used my M-Audio Audiophile 2496 for the first time yesterday and noticed the mixdowns sound... well odd. It reminds me of when I mix a file to play left pan and a seperate one to play right pan... like the sound is slightly distant.
My card's input does have a manual pan setting, the Left is set L50 and the right is set R50, so I'm guessing that is causing the bizarre playback? I never fiddled with it as I assumed that is how I should leave it? You can central them, but I can push it to L2 and R2, as close to central as possible?
I have the audio file if anybody wishes to hear what I mean, in comparision I can show a track recorded previously on a Soundblaster were the vocals are more central and sound a lot of more 'full' as a result.
Hope somebody can help out, thanks
