Hello, I’ve been having issues with my main stereo vocals bus being somehow weighted to the right, even tho all the individual vocal tracks are centered in the stereo field. I’ve shut off effects on both the outputs of the individual tracks and on the input of the vocal buss with no effect. The only way I’ve found to solve the problem is by moving the vocal bus L/R slider from center to the left until it looks even. Any ideas on what might be going on and/or tips on how to solve this problem?
Hard to say without having a view on your project…
Are you saying that all your vocal tracks are mono an strictly center-panned?
Are you sure it is only your vocal bus and not something else in the chain, on the master buss, on the control room.
Does it only concern the vocal bus? Do you use the Control Room?
Would you mind uploading a screenshot of your routings of an indidual track and of the bus?
EDIT: I was too late.
If you have plugins on the buss, be sure they are stereo versions (assuming you have a stereo buss). For example, Waves installs both mono and stereo versions of their plugins. If you choose a mono version on a stereo track it could produce this issue.
Hello again,
I appreciate the responses, thanks! Turns out I had inadvertently installed some mono inserts on some of the tracks involved. Feeling centered again and all is well with the world. Inside my studio, anyway. Thank you very much.
