Hi, Every time I render audio from a VST instrument, I get an unbalanced waveform . To fix this, I have to manually adjust it with the panner and save a second audio file with a more uniform waveform. [Screenshot 2025-02-19 at 09.03.52] Any clues why this is happening? Thanks

Which Cubase version? There was a bug in C11/12 (I think it was resolved in 13) where under certain conditions such a thing could happen: [image] Render in place incorrectly renders pan settings into audio even Cubase When I render a virtual instrument with the setting “dr…

Hey, thanks for the link, I’ll try the Output - None workaround. I’m on 13 pro (Mac).

I’d like to update this thread, as I still have the same issue and can’t find a way to solve it. I have tried what is suggested in the discussion linked above (but no joy). Thanks

Hi, @archetipo Are you sure of the panning settings of all the things that could be acting in the audio path, including effects, sends, Stereo Out bus ? Beside this, could you make a screnshot of the arrange page, showing both a MIDI part (recorded or already existing) and the render result ? This…

[image] archetipo: Every time I render audio from a VST instrument Does it happen with any VST Instrument? Could you try using Retrologue and its default preset, (no inserts or sends)?

Hi, Actually with Retrologue default preset it renders ok. Not the same with the with EW orchestral sounds and pianos I use (though render settings are the same as those used with Retrologue [Screenshot 2025-08-11 at 06.17.08] [Screenshot 2025-08-11 at 07.38.58] [Screenshot 2025-08-11 at 07.52…

Hi and thanks for your answer, just replied below, attaching the screenshots. Cheers

P.S. Switching the “Stereo double” off doesn’t change the way the file gets rendered.

They are stereo samples, some natural panning depending on their position in the orchestra compared to the micing is to be expected.

I think Grim could on the right course. Celli are usually to the right of the conductor and the audience. Thus it could be that your library (and the player) has them naturally panned to the right. In the screenshot with the Hollywood Solo Cello you can the the microphone pan setting being to the r…
