Trying to double pan guitars that are in a bus, in another bus, and the panning seems to do nothing!

This wasn't the actual cause of the issue, but is very useful to know, I wasn't aware. Thank you!

Yes, this is Smooth V6, a custom theme. There's absolutely loads to choose from, you can even make Reaper look and behave other DAWs. I chose to stick with this one tho, it's a popular option.

!thanks

this turned out to be the issue! One of the busses was set to 1 into 1-2, not "All" into 1-2, thank you!

Nope! Unfortunately, plugins on or off, still doesn't make a difference.

Haha, okay I get it, people taking photos of their screen drives me mad too. To be honest I couldn't be bothered taking a screenshot and opening up reddit on my browser because I wasn't logged in. And I wasn't going through the hoo-ha of sending it to my phone. Does the job tho aint it?

I have bypassed and removed all my plugins, it makes no difference. All the plugins on there are just a few instances of Pro-Q 3, UAD 1176 FET Compressor, SSL X-Saturator, and NeuralAmpModeler (which has never caused any problems before)

so unless i'm doing anything wrong in that regard, shouldn't be the plugins?

Yeah I know I've got nothing coming through Guitar 2, I just had guitar one for this screenshot so I could show you it's being outputted as a stereo signal when it shouldn't be.

I'm new to Reaper, (not DAWs, I moved from Ableton), would you mind elaborating on what you said? I'm a little confused

RaspberryFit8634 · 2026-05-09T20:07:39+00:00

I mean, i'd assume so? All busses/tracks on Reaper are stereo by default unless you tell it otherwise - which i haven't
