hey hoping to see if I can get to the bottom of my poor sounding mastered track.
I have the boss br800 and it has 8 tracks in total. 1,2,3,4 are single tracks and 5/6 and 7/8 stereo tracks.
When I run out of tracks to use I like to master them down to 7/8 to make more room for other tracks but I've noticed something is off when I do this.
For example.
if I fill 1,2,3,4 and 5/6 with all my song parts sort the levels and pan them exactly how I want them it sounds great. however when I bounce/master them onto track 7/8 which is a stereo track it sounds off.
I seem to lose the wide panning it sounds more centralized, if anything with a slight leaning more to the right panning meaning the left side of the mix sounds pretty vacant. and the levels also seem to change slightly with the centralized tracks sounding a bit louder than the tracks that were panned.
I will then try to combat this by doing another bounce and only adding the wide panned tracks to the new master to try and bring back what was lost a little but it continues to centralize and boost the centre tracks almost like it's in mono but this isn't the case as I can here some slight panning when I get up close to the speakers and listen.
is this normal when mastering down to a stereo track to lose those far panned tracks ? and for the more central parts to become louder/more the focus ?
listening even more closely I've noticed the right panning doesn't suffer and still sounds very wide it is all the left side ???? don't understand what could be causing this as it recording onto a stereo 7/8 track with the panning centred so no bias to one side.
