I’ve always kept my panning on the Cubase mixer, as I felt it was a better reference to see my panning positions.
That was until recently I was mocking up a spread of classic instruments, some of them were layered unison patches, using (for ex) Violin A/Violin B, or layerings with expressive patches.
Either I was experiencing huge placebo, or during a mono check and comparison, I felt that panning IN Halion sounded a lot more seperate and clear, even definition between 4 layered brass sounded (for ex. Pan R80/R70/R65/R60) solid, as opposed to using the pan in the mixer which I though produced a bit more comb filtering.
I actually stopped what I was working on and had to experiment with this for an hour or so, until I convinced myself that I would pan in Halion from now on.
Anyone similar or am I crazy?
(To be clear, I’m referring to panning from the program list, rather than deep in the patch edit options.)
My ears may not be as good as yours, but I really don’t hear much of a difference between internal mixer and the same material mixed on the Mixing board. I’ll look into it more. I posted some thoughts about this as much to help me think things out as anything else. Take care.
