(not a deal) Anyone know a plugin that auto forces panning to the center? (The sample isn't panned correctly)

I've got BBC Symphony Orchestra that seems to have no settings on disabling the panning they instilled into the samples they created.  Yes you can manually pan, but I'd rather have a plugin force it to center instead of me guessing if I'm center.

It will collapse a stereo image but  something like Boz Mongoose will let you collapse the stereo image at any frequency cut off to be mono - thus pushing the "pan" to center. 

instead you might want to test this and see if it does what you want:

No computer can judge the stereo field better than your ears. With MAutoStereoFix you can easily put on your best headphones and listen to individual channels, swap left and right, check the mid... and create a perfect centered stereo field everyone will envy you.

I didn't even think about Melda until you mentioned them.  Then I googled them and what I read looking for... they have a free plugin called MUtility that allows you to collapse stereo to mono by enabling coder, then Left+Right -> Mono. https://www.meldaproduction.com/MUtility

I still would like to figure out how Cakewalk would do this so I don't have to use a plugin.

Does clicking this button work?

I will definitely try it out... first I'm going to put all my electronics into my EMP shelter for this evening's 2pm - 4pm Presidential alert.. Then I'll try it out.  See y'all in a couple of hours.

My controls look different:

PXL_20231004_224350017.thumb.jpg.8d6350aa9ddea7b3485a5d1940c6e28c.jpg

Although, with the help pop-up .. it says " interleave = stereo" and press that, it says " interleave = mono"

If I turn on track mono, instead of using MUtility, I have to turn down the input volume by -8.0 using TUBE  on the PRE Prochannel... some reason turning interleave into mono increases track volume.

The native plugins will probably do better than the non-native plugins.  So I'll use interleave mono instead of the other way!

Yeah different theme.  The one I posted is a standard one.  I usually use my own custom theme but didn't want to confuse matters with a screen shot of that.

RECENTER automatically repairs off-centre stereo recordings while keeping the original stereo width which makes it an invaluable time-saver and a perfect tool for professional post-production. Fix off-centred stereo field recordings, dynamically centre vocal artists or musicians that moved around the stage or centre hard directional effects like drive-bys and stereo whooshes. RECENTER makes tedious panning automation obsolete so you can focus on your creative flow.

MSRP is $89 but you might be able to pick it up cheaper at a reseller.  IIRC last BF it was going for about 50% off.

From what I recall testing it - it's a bit overhyped but it worked.  Like always YMMV.
