Please help. My internal drum sounds are being hard panned to the left for no apparent reason

Thanks for your guidance and your patience...it is much needed despite using Logic, and previously Cubase, for many years.

Tried everything you suggested and nothing makes any difference to it's position in the stereo field.

Part of the frustration is not understanding how this could occur. I'm certainly no expert with Logic, although I have been using it to do what I need for many years, but I'm pretty sure that I've not set anything up to make this problem happen.

I think I'm going to open a new project, load a producer kit, and see where the sounds are placed.

Thanks again so much for your help

Set up a new project and loaded the same producer kit, and the bass drum is perfectly placed in the center of the stereo field, as I would expect it to be.

So why it's panning left on the piece I've been working on for some time is beyond me completely!

Deleted the midi info and now the drum sounds from the midi file I first created on the new project to test the stereo position, which was all good, are hard left pan too.

This is some strange dodgy stuff going on!!

Is the solution a PC and Cubase??

I'm so grateful for your intrigue.

The only way I know of getting the project anywhere else is to bounce it to a wav file. Is there a better way to upload the whole project so you can see all the workings?

I'm more than happy for you to have the whole project, although a little hesitant as it's unfinished.

I've managed to copy it and zip it, no mean achievement, but I can't seem to upload it as nothing happens when I try to drag and drop it here.

My apologies for seeming such a Ludite....any suggestions?

Well it's reassuring to know that it's all good on your system, but It's also a little baffling as to why it happens on mine.

Once again, I so appreciate your time and effort looking into this for me.

Good luck with tracking it down

Hmmm...that's very interesting.

Can you think of any reason why Logic would do this, and is there a solution?

It seems that erasing this could correct it, but I do wonder why it happened in the first place.

Glad you like the groove.....I'm writing it to eventually be played by a real drummer.

Thanks again....you're a legend

It's a long process writing the drum parts as I write each beat in individually with the pencil tool, often editing them for volume and positioning them slightly forward or behind the beat to simulate an authentic drummer. I use the producer kits as I can effect and pan each drum sound independently, but I only ever use slight panning just to fill the stereo field, and do this using the pan control on each sound.

I'll try deleting these panning events now and let you know how it goes.

If I can give you more info do let me know.

You're being a massive help.

Whoops....got it. Just hadn't highlighted the regions.

My bad!

Started off so promisingly. After deleting the pan info I had perfect stereo spread....and the the hard left pan for bass drum and tom toms started again. On going back into the List Editor the panning controls are there again!

Could this be a software issue, and could my download of Logic be faulty?

Unfortunately I fear this peculiar issue may not be over yet.

I'm currently using version 10.6 although it was also happening on the previous version I was using. I had hope that the upgrade to 10.6 would resolve the issue, but unfortunately it didn't.

I shall certainly take a look at the LPH forum and see if anyone else has had this problem.

Thanks again

Tried importing the drum track to the new project....problem has traveled as drums are hard left again

Thanks again for all your help.

I hope the zip file contains all you need to get to the bottom of this issue.

Wishing you all the best
