headphones output left side louder.

[John Mitchell]

so I've done all the trouble shooting I can do. 

I'm using a Aston origin mic

focisrite scarlet solo interface, no preamp. 

dt 770 pro studio 80 ohm beyerdynamic headphones

i have tried new projects new tracks different setting. no matter what i do. 

the left side of my headphones is much louder nearly double the volume. but only in cakewalk, I use audacity, or just youtube, the headphones are equal. 

i can just simply hold a note in a mono track for testing, no pan to either side, no fx, no wizardry and the left is just louder. again only in cakewalk. 

it plays in both sides, just fine just left is louder. I cant tell for sure but seems that my monitors (pre sonus somethings) are louder in the left as well, again only in cakewalk. 

I theorized at first in was because I was using input ONE/LEFT on my interface but then i put my guitar into the right input and same thing happened. its not really a big deal as i never pan anything, but I like the sound to be equal!

Check your mains outputs in Cakewalk, by clicking on your master bus and looking in the Inspector - the mains outputs have red faders.

Check they're set to the same level:

Can you show a screen shot of the recorded waveform on the track?

The OP has never returned here since that post. So you are best off to start a new thread and clearly state your problem including what interfaces and settings you have checked. It can be as simple as a bad cable.
