Gerry 1943 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) I presently have a project with 2 guitar audio tracks and I am thinking of maybe adding however I have a problem. For one reason or other I can only get the sound to come from the left side. If I try to pan to the right side...silence. What might I be doing wrong? Thank you in advance for any info. Regards.

William W. Saunders, Jr. Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Check the output selected for the track(s). Maybe you have it set to a mono rather than a stereo output of your soundcard (sorry, interface - I'm a geezer). Check the output selected for the bus you are routing your track(s) to. Same issue - be sure its routed to a stereo output of your interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckebaby Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Also check the headphone adapter (if your using one) Gerry. Those things tend to get flakey when wiggled, totally messes with the stereo spectrum. Other than that, I assume its an I/O (input/output) issue. Make sure your output is going to a stereo bus or the master bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 @BRainbow is correct - it's most likely your track is going directly to the audio interface's output, rather than a stereo output or bus. Unless you created a completely blank project, Cakewalk should have created a Master, Metronome and Preview bus. The easiest way to solve your issue is to make sure your tracks are routed to the Master bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalle Rantaaho Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Simply put: A mono source/input recorded on a stereo track plays back through the left side only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar is mono in nature and if you recorded a Mono guitar track onto a Stereo track in Cakewalk, you will have one side that is silent (flat-lined) Look at the track and is it a stereo track and do both sides (channels) of that stereo track have a waveform? If one side is flat-lined and one side has the guitar track on it, then when you pan it to the side without the guitar track, no sound will be heard from that side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry 1943 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Thank you all. Problem solved. Somehow just found a little icon called INTERLEAVE and by clicking on it you get either mono or stereo track. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
