I have a question about Stereo and Mono.

When i get a track that has been recorded in stereo.(I know this because of the double wav. visual that is presented). I try to pan it. Yet, when i try to pan it i can never hear it coming out of my speaker when it is panned to the right. I always hear it when it is in the middle or when it is panned to the left but never anything in the right. Likewise, when i have a mono track that has vocals. i usually hear the vocals in the left speaker. When even when it is in the center. However, when i pan the vocals right i cannot hear anything. Is there any guidance that you can give me on this matter?


This was not the case when i used Sonar. I can take a sound and pan it however i desired and i could still hear it between both speakers.

So, from what I can gather - Neither mono, nor stereo sources will play on the right channel no matter where you pan them, so... really, you never get anything at all coming out of your right speaker in Reaper? In Cubase, I would go to make sure that the ASIO device was set up to use the same output channels that my monitors were plugged into. I don't know how to do that in Reaper, though, sorry. There is a Reaper board here, however.
 
Switch your speakers around so that L is R, and R is L. If you are only getting one side, it could be the output chain that is the problem.
 
found it.

thx for the feedback. It was the I/O settings.
