How to pan the Monitor section?

#1

I am looking to pan the monitor section (i.e. slightly left), due to hearing loss in one ear. I don’t see any panning options in the monitor area. Am I missing it somewhere, or otherwise what is the best way to achieve this?

I tried creating a bus, and routed things so that:
Master → Monitor → Bus for panning → 1/2 Hardware out.
However when I do this, the Feedback indicator lights up (incorrectly?)

Thanks!

Click the “Processors” button in the monitor section and add a plugin, which does the panning.

See the section “The Processors button” here:

If you want a dedicated plugin for that purpose, you could make one with FAUST:

declare name "Stereo Balance";
declare version "1.0";
declare author "Chris Arndt";

import("stdfaust.lib");

balance(l, r) = sqrt(c) * l, sqrt(1 - c) * r
with {
	c = (hslider("[1] Balance [style:knob]", 0, -100, 100, 1) -100.0) / -200.0 : si.smoo;
};

process	= balance;

You can generate a binary for the OS and plugin format of your choice here (use the big “Export” button on the left):

  • You could assign a MIDI CC to the balance control.
  • A nice addition to the plugin would be to add a “Swap L<->R” action.
  • You could probably also use a Lua script to do the same, but I’m not an export on those.

x42 Stereo Balance control would do the job - x42 Balance.lv2
