Actually, there are no panning settings in styles. Default behavior for panning depends upon your settings under the "Pan" column in the Preferences "Channels" tab screen.

If you click on the "Overrides" tab under Preferences, you can uncheck the box for pan to ignore loading that setting for any loaded song.

If you save your songs with everything centered, it is not panned.

That being said, there are some stereo RealTracks instruments for which you can adjust the pan to slide the center of the stereo field left and right, but yes those specific tracks are recorded stereo.

But pan settings are a factor of the settings made under Preferences, or in the Mixer and then saved, not in the style definition.


I cannot get this method to work when I try to reset all songs to zero panning.

The following method, however does work, at least for a full folder of songs that is currently in use.

1) set all panning to zero for current song.
2) right click Master then select "save current mix as default"
3) select File/File Utilities/Change all songs in current folder to default mix.

BIAB then cycles through all the songs in the current folder and changes the mix to the new default.
