Panning a mono track when outputting to a stereo bus

[wreckd504]

When I change the output of my mono track to a stereo bus, bussing to a stereo aux channel - I get nothing out of the right channel. I also noticed that when I select the input on the aux channel it only appears as bus 3 for example, not bus 3-4. But in the output I get the choice of bus 3-4. I can't set the input of the aux channel to have a stereo bus input.

This is what i'm trying to achieve (screen shot from milar) i.e. bussing a mono track to a stereo aux track with its panning. Sorry about the poor quality pic (screen shot from media player), but you can make out how he (dye) has his bus's set up, and that he is getting a signal on a stereo aux track. I get nothing out of the right channel.

Go to your i/o setup, create a stereo bus (3-4). Then, you'll be able to set the tracks' output to bus 3-4 and the aux's input to bus 3-4. Right now, it looks like you only have mono busses set up.

man....i'm such a simple guy sometimes. I had a stereo plugin on the aux track that made it a stereo track, when in fact it was a mono aux track with a stereo plug on it. Created a stereo aux and the stereo bus inputs became available.


thanks for the reply ryan!
