BigWhirl2012, a few thoughts, not necessarily in order:

Like you, I use SONAR, but I can drag the Combo with success.

Normally I do set the BIAB tracks to flat, dry, and center first but it will work without doing so.

I have never seen your problem, where SONAR requires the track to be panned in the center or all the way to the right just to be heard. Thus, I would suspect something in SONAR or your audio setup to be the fix here, rather than BIAB.

Are you sure you have sound in both speakers using other sound sources? Bad cable, that sort of thing...

Are you sure your mixer is set correctly with sound to the left channel? Are there any plugins on the main bus that could be set to pan only right?

By the way, I like SONAR X3 so far.

As to the Realband versus other DAWs, others here can answer better than I, because I do not use Realband. The reason for that is that I learned Cakewalk Pro Audio, then SONAR, long before PG Music released RealBand. However, I do know there are some important advantages to be found by using Realband in between BIAB and your DAW, such as the ability to exceed 255 measures and the ability to regenerate parts of a track. I'm sure there are others.

EDIT: I see Mac also suspects something amiss in the setup.
