I copied a vocal track, then pasted it on a different track just slightly off to get that effect. After that, the original track I copied is mostly in the left channel and I cannot get it back to center. Any advice? Thanks!

Check Event List for a Control Change panning message (?)
What happens when you pan it, does the panning dial 'stick' and show different than what you hear?

Hi Bernier,

Is that track that's panned left a mono track or stereo?

Thanks

The only thing in events was a volume node change (increase) I put in. I did not change pan. Any suggestions?

Hi Bernier,

Vocals are a mono signal, so if you record them to a stereo track, they'll generally play through only one speaker. If you hit Edit - Track - Split a Stereo Track Into 2 Mono Tracks.

Then you'll have a blank mono track, and a mono track containing vocals, playing through both speakers (and pannable however you like).

Please let us know if that doesn't do the trick.

Thanks
Kent

You're very welcome! In the future, if you make sure to change the Track Type to Audio - Mono before recording, this won't happen again.

Thanks

Well, it may kinda happen again.

In my mind there are 2 settings that would be good to pay attention to.

One is the MONO track type setting Kent mentioned above.
"Change the Track Type to Audio - Mono before recording"

The other is in the audio Prefs section. Here you can set PT to record Left, Right or Both (L+R as shown below).

If it is set to both you'll get the desired MONO track but also record a second blank MONO track (the other side/channel).
If you use the correct L/R selection option in Audio Prefs for a MONO track recording, you'll not have to go back and clean up the extra blank (wasted) tracks.



Just a workflow tip.
