The pan laws do no changes the sound, it just changes the sound levels and how it behaves when its panned. In simple terms.. This is what is happening to your ears.. You mixed the project with the -3 pan laws, so changing the Pan law in a project to something else will change all its levels and make it sound different your ears.. You would need to mix it all over when changing the pan laws.

Never leave or trust anything.. If your target is mono and stereo, then you need to make decisions in your mixing and mastering stages for this. Not after its been exported. If you change your pan laws, everything will change in ALL your projects signal chain. Its a global setting, so all projects will be effected, unless you change it back and forth, but is that feasible? My pan laws are set at 0 center cor something... I prefer it that way and i like the way it behaves, but this is a personnel preference

Things to do: 1.) Lower your ASIO buffer to 64 or WDM slider all the way down to its lowest latency setting in the preference menu. 2.) Make sure your dedicated audio interface has the most updated drivers for your windows operating system. If you are using the on-board sound chip, back off as it might blow!!! --- ----- --- Just kidding, or am i????? ... But those sound chips are not meant for these things. 3.) Make sure you are not inserting and using plugin effects that are not meant for live monitoring and have hidden buffers, so they can process the signal better. These types of plugin effects are meant to be used in the mixing and mastering stage. 4.) Your PC just doesn't cut it (MOBO or processor power lacks)

When you combine 2 channels into one channel, the volume will raise, because you are making 2 channels into one channel Its because of your pan law setting . If you set to to 0 dB center, sin-cos taper - constant power, IIRC, it may behave like it does when you export it. Its one of those pan laws that behaves like that ans i think it is that one If you are in 32bit floating for your project, it doesn't really matter, as long as your master bus and main outs are not clipping. But that doesn't mean you can slam the tracks and peak them to holy hell. Use common sense..

Yes, more ram, having a dedicated audio hard drive and i noticed you didn't mention a dedicated audio interface so i would add that as one of your things to get.

Is it for every project or just one specific project? Maybe its having a hard time with a cache.

Make sure you install the latest version of the eLicenser Control Center installed. To add,the latest version of HALION should be installed. http://www.steinberg.net/en/support/dow ... ion_5.html

The sound chip in your MAC doesn't support ASIO. As suggested, get an audio interface with drivers written for audio production. Even if you get it running with the on-board sound chip, your performance of your MAC and DAW will suffer and the sound quality will suffer as well

Do you have boost 11? or any other limiter? just insert the effect at the bus level in the effects bin. If you do no have a limiter, set up a compressor with a ratio that is at least higher than 10 and the attack as short as possible. Threshold and release you ca play with until it catches all peaks

Just for the sake of doing it and ruling it out real quick, raise your ASIO buffers (if you are in asio) and try again. if you are at a buffer of 128, raise it to 512. If you are at 256, raise it to 1024

Maybe you are looking for something like a pitch wheel. You can automate a pitch shifter's knob that controls the pitch and you can get an even rise up to the 12th or down to the 12th. If you have Melodyne, try it with that.

If it was input echo, it would happen all the time. I'm thinking it may be something electrical, if its happening intermittently.

I really never chosen a tempo. When i write a song, the tempo is there already. When i pick up a guitar and start writing a song, as soon as I find the verse, intro or even the chorus, the tempo of the song is the tempo i am playing it at when i wrote it. Its all feel for me..

Im a Windows 10 user and the only thing i did when i installed the PVC with win 10 on it is to make sure all my USB hubs never go to sleep. That's it! with today PC's, there is no need to tweak PC's and turn off things. They are plenty strong enough to handle it. The days of turning off antiviral software and disabling things have been gone for a decade,if you have a semi newer PC

Maybe this program is a casualty of the past events. I cannot get mine to register and work either. I loved it for converting files. Thats all i used it for.

Just make sure you install the most current drivers for your OS and make sure the M Audio Oxygen has the latest firmware. It hooks up via USB and then you just define the MIDI ins into the DAW and it will work

I would get a dedicate audio interface. Always keep your signal chains simple stupid. Also, you need an audio interface from what im reading... This is bad! Trumpet /flugelhorn are mono and mics are mono, with a few exceptions. You need mono paths. Listen, your weakest link is that you are using a Realteck integrated sound chip. There good for listening to Youtube and and other apps, but for audio production, they are not built for that. so you will always run into problems using it. Even if you solve this one, you'll run into another one very soon..

That looks like a que mix to me, all audio interface mixers are like that. That one is pretty straight forward. its nice!

For that, you will need a headphone amp/mixer like the one i have, the Sampson S Phone 4 channel headphone amp/mixer, if you want more than 2 headphone mixes to be heard by more than 2 people at the same time. Audio interfaces only come with 1 or 2 headphones connections and most just come with one. Then you would rout each headphone mix from your DAW and sound card cue mix

To avoid any problems, such as the ones you are having, its in your best interest to use a audio interface made for music production and not use the on-board sound chip. The line out of your on-board sound-chip, is prob stereo. a dedicated audio interface will have 2 main outs that can connect to a mixer. But the question is why are you connecting a mixer to line outs? Studio monitors go to line outs of your sound card in most cases..

Careful!! They test these things on very very powerful computers with awesome motherboards to get the lowest possible latency. Be careful what you read and believe. a lot is marketing hype disguised as facts. You are more than likely going to get a higher round trip latency then what they report.

I ran into this in the past with a few files that were sent to me and i did the same thing you did, but i used Pyro to convert the file into a wave file. I never figured it out, as all my settings for importing were checked and doubled checked. Pretty sure its a bug

Your laptop specs are not good in my opinion. A 5200 RPM hard rive is below the minimum requirements and 4 gigs is below it also. this is why it hangs, it cannot handle the work-load. To fix it: Get a dedicated hard drive for all your audio that spins at 72000 RPM and load more Ram into your laptop, if you can

I would try adjust the loop end/start point just be a few millisecs. Maybe its stopping at a non-zero crossing and this is why its pooping.
