Panning Samples

when i pan any of my samples in the mixer to the right there is no longer sound and when panning left it does not pan at all
i have the two main outputs going into a sound card, panned hard left and right each
i cant figure out why the panning is not working

Are you going into a stereo track on your DAW instead of a mono track?

Sounds like a bad wire to me.

Doubt it! Even if he had a bad wire, with a proper stereo track and i/o setup in his DAW, he would only have audio out his left speaker if it was a bad wire.

I'd tend to agree with hellfire. To help troubleshoot this you could also use 2 individual mono tracks (track 1 assigned input 1, track 2 assigned to input 2). Then try panning between L/R on the second input (at the input source if possible). Also try, swapping inputs, (Output L - input 2, Output R to input 1). This will tell the tale of it being a problem with the output of the MPC or the input of the sound device, or even a routing problem within the software. Hope this helps...

i have each of my outputs on the mpc going to a single mono track each which are panned hard left and hard right respectively
my 2 main outs are also going into the left and right ins of the speakers i am using
this is why i am confused
this is becoming an issue as panning is pretty vital when it comes to making a track that needs room and its all just stuck in the centre

just figured it out
the in selected in cubase was left for both of them
just changed the second one to right and all is good
cant believe i didnt figure that out earlier
thanks anyway guys
