Topic: Weird panning behaviour in Fireface 400
Hi everyone
I've made an observation today that I cannot understand at all, also not sure what to look for as I'm sure that at some point I must have messed up some setting (or there is a problem with the software). Because, well, what else could it be?
I've got two channels in my fireface mixer, linked to each other, where the output from my Cubase 5 comes in. The panning on the left channel all left, panning on the right channel all right. Today I discovered problems with my bass frequencies obviously cancelling out and was searching for the reason in Cubase but couldn't find any possible explanation. Now here's the weird thing: When I pan the left channel in my Fireface Mixer all right and the right one all left, everything is played as I'd expect and no phase problems / frequency cancelling occurs. How can that be?! How can the result be different if I mix L to R and R to L from mixing L to L and R to R?! It occurs only on the output to my speakers, the behaviour for the phone output is just as expected: perfectly symmetric behaviour. Does anyone have any ideas where I have to look into?
Thanks a lot, your suggestions are very much appreciated.
