Here's my problem in CUBASE SX3

I have recorded a midi track and am playing it back through a VST instrument.

The problem is that I cannot pan the output right or left. No matter what I do it just comes straight down the middle.

Any help?

I dont use Cubase but had the same problem, I ended up mixing the track to WAV and then panning it. There is probablly a betterway but i'm to stupid to figure it out.
 
If you use a VST instrument, which you probably are, then in the mixer will be the actual VST output channel, which you can pan or process as any old audio track.
 
I think (THINK is the key word here...) that some VSTi's have panning controls in them as well. I have the same issues depending on the VSTi that I use.
 
The conversion from MIDI to wav sounds like a plan!

I can't understand it though. You would think this would be a fairly standard thing to be able to pan an output from a VST instrument.

Thank you all for you help..
 
I think most software by default pans Pre-FX. So you're trying to pan MIDI data. I could be wrong, I don't use cubase.

But I'm sure it has the option of adjusting the pan Post-FX. I would still render it to WAV first then mess with panning.

Um, that is exactly right. Where is your confusion? There is no need to render out the midi track in cubase, that is how it is supposed to work
 
Are you trying to pan the VST instrument or the MIDI track that's playing into it? Panning the MIDI track won't work. Panning the VST instrument should. If neither way works, you could send the output from the VST instrument to a mono group track, and pan that I suppose...
 
Got down to part of my problem last night. The jack connecting my speakers to the card was faulty.
After that the output from my Proteus VST software is pannable but not the Cubase suite of VST instruments.

More trial and error I suppose..
 
Thank you to those of you who provided very helpful and non-condecending comments.

I'm sure to most of you my question sounded dum but as you probably remember , when you're a beginner its all a bit confusing.
