I have a problem with routing in Reaper

So I have no idea what the hell is wrong with my panning. This is quad tracked but when I mute the two extra and just leave the hard panned ones, and then I solo like the left one, it still shows up on the right a little. Please help.

Do you have any plugins on the track that say "(mono)" ?

 

[pixiusd]

Nope its all stereo

 

[olif8]

Why are you running stereo plugins on guitars?

Why are you running stereo plugins on guitars?

I was talking about the guitar buss. You kinda need to use stereo plugins on the guitar buss.

What DAW are you using? do you have any reverb on the guitar tracks?

 

[Nico_pitty]

yea the mix is good but as jeff said it seems tha you have a mono central guitar track...you used a stereo guitar buss??or a mono?anyway try to use a stereo enhancement!

 

[pixiusd]

I'm using Reaper and it's not my buses, I already tried it in a new file and I guess it's my DAW but I don't have a clue what it exactly is

Maybe set the original track to 'send to bus only'? Sometimes it happens with me, the guitar goes to bus AND stereo out too. Im on Logic tho.

Also some stereo enhancer/shuffler 'bleed' your hard panned guitar a little to the other side.

I'm 99% sure it's user error, so we need screenshots.

See look at the bus, I checked everything and I am pretty positive its my DAW.

 

[ahjteam]

Can you post a shot of the routing and mixer view that shows the plugins too, since that screenshot is not telling the whole truth.

Yup, I haven't used reaper so I'm not sure if I read the thing correctly, I think the problem is, that you are both routing AND sending it to the guitar bus. The send is in the center, the routing goes hard left. Also that routing matrix icon looks funny, what does it mean when it's not a whole black square?

 

[Nico_pitty]

Your master channel is in mono?

 

[pixiusd]

Thanks man, i'll try that out. Also, the whole black square shows that its a master/parent send track and no its not, if you click the mono button, THEN it's mono.

 

[pixiusd]

Also, it's not just the guitars, it's the WHOLE mix

 

[Nico_pitty]

you have tried to bypass all the plug ins?
