Constant Slightly-Left Pan
HardTranceProd
Let me preface this by saying that I never ever touch the pan knobs (left/right) when producing. All my pan controls are always strictly at the 12 o'clock position (neutral).

However, whenever I listen to my music, especially through headphones, I always get the feeling that the left side is somehow just a bit louder. Am I imagining this? No matter what VSTs or sounds I use, unless I make a special effort to change it, my gut feeling is that the left channel has more volume to it.

I remember reading somewhere (don't remember where) that all music is slightly panned to the left. Have any of you heard anything about that? And indeed, in my sequencer, the volume bars for left/right have similar lengths but the top one (for left) is just a bit stronger.

:conf:

Check your master volume pan in your sound control panel?

it even happens in my car. The left-hand car speakers shake a bit more, lol... it could be a figment of my imagination, but it bothers me.

Get a hearing test on your right ear.

I get a similar thing. It's just that our right ears aren't as in tune as our left or more likely that the ear canal on the left is a different shape so seems to convey sound easier.

why is that? is that an anatomical feature of humans?

Not sure if it's a common thing though I suspect it might be. Who knows? I've never bothered to actually get the answer :p

Hmm... I feel that my right side seems to sound louder whenever I use earphones.. Always thought It was the phone's or the earphone's fault..

It's your hearing. I the meters read equal, it's equal. trust your meters and kow your ears and i'ts restrictions

I'm so glad I saw this thread. This happens to me on occassion. Left side for me, in headphones, in studio, in car. VU meters balanced, no panning on master channel. We are all freaks

Probably just rubbish cables/interference/shoddy driver on that side/difference between two ears.

Whats more concerning to me is that the OP never uses any panning:( sad fase is sad.
