Why is the entire song is in the right channel?!

I thought my headphones were broken!
In a only single file in GarageBand, the entire song is in the right channel. All of the tracks but 2 are software instruments that I recorded from a MIDI keyboard. The other 2 are loops from the library. Every track is panned at 0 - left & right. I checked the master track and there's no pan option. If I select a new software instrument for recording it's only in the right channel.
If I open a completely new file and do the same thing, it's panned normally, in both left and right. Everything else on the computer is in stereo - itunes, the duck when I change the volume, you name it. Just this one file - NOTHING in the left. If I pan anything to the left, it can't be heard.
I tried saving the song as a new file - same thing. I created a new song - and the sound is fine - stereo.
Is my song file corrupt? Is there something I can try? Am I going mad?

could be, but it's hard to tell from here

yes.
i think you probably have  mouse that can scroll (magic mouse, etc). there is an invisible pan knob on the master track, if you place the cursor to the right of the popUp menu for the Master Volume, Pitch, etc, and scroll your mouse, you'll see numbers appear describing which way the Master track is being panned.

  • HT201956 Why does the right side of the menu bar disappear or blink when I turn on my epson XP200 printer?

    Why does the right side the menu bar disappear or blink when I turn on my epson XP 200 printer?

    I have also been experiencing the same problems. Mac user since 1991. I own various machines but this particular problem lies with a MacBook Pro 2008 using 10.5.4
    The laptop has two users. One is fine while one is not. A new user was created but upon logging in for the first time the right hand side of the menu bar blinked off and on just like the existing user. No hard drives have been connected. All files backed up via drag and drop wirelessly.
    Since this development I have been unable to get to my iDisk; it might be related or coincidental. Last night I re-entered my .mac/MobileMe account details whereupon I was presented with a message saying the machine had not synced before. Not true. It had been syncing automatically since the day of purchase March 2008. I wonder if there is a connection between somewhere deep down in the Library, updated versions for 10.5.4 and MobileMe. Somewhere along the line a combination of events triggered the tool bar to start blinking...
    It's strange how one user is fine (seldom used and DOES NOT have a MobileMe account) while the main one, me, is not fine (used heavily throughout the day and DOES have an active MobileMe account).
    At this point, I don't intend to re-install and start all over again (I've done this so many times with other machines over the years that I was hoping those days had finally gone based upon Apple's brilliant recent advancements).
    Any help or comments will be welcome.
    Cheers!

  • Power Mac G5 Audio is outputting only the right channel

    I have an audio problem with my PowerPc Audio card, I presume. It is only outputting the right channel. I have a set of computer speakers and when I go into System Preferences and move the balance slider, there is only sound coming from the right channel. Absolutely nothing from the left.
    I found this problem when editing in FCP and needing to do a split track with VO on channel 1 and Nats and music on channel 2. I could see the meters showing the audio output from channel 1 but no sound coming through the Mac's left channel output.
    Also, I have a DeckLink extreme card in my system and when I test the L-R channel output I get the same problem. I do not know if the decklink is somehow using the Mac audio card for help with its output. I would think that it is using its own hardware for generating the audio output from the card.
    Hardware issue? Time for a Mac Genius repair? Don't know if there is any workarounds or fixes before I go that route. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Doug

    No I didn't but I run my Mac's output into an analog mixer and then out to my speakers.
    When outputting through channel 2 only, both speakers work, yet when I pan to channel 1 the sound drops out. As I pan from full channel 2, where both speakers are up full, you can hear the sound fade out.
    Also, I got the Deck Link card to work through my mixer. The L and R channels are outputting through separate inputs in the mixer and work independently and correctly. I even changed out the mini stereo cable just in case and still no left channel out of the Mac.
    Very weird! I've even repaired and defragged my system disk in case it is some sort of corrupted code. Just grasping at straws before I take it to a Mac Genius.
    Thanks for writing. I appreciate any and all suggestions.

  • My external audio recording device only records to the right channel.  How do I send the sound in the right channel thru the left one in Final Cut to get a full stereo sound?

    My external audio recording device only records to the right channel.  How do I duplicate the sound in the right channel and run it to the left one in Final Cut to get full stereo sound?
    I've already copied and pasted the right channel (A2) onto the left channel (A1) but that just doubled the volume on the right channel.
    For instance, when I listen to my audio with headphones it only comes thru the right one.  How do I make it so that it comes thru both headphones?

    Stereo is something else. It is a sound field where the individual elements are located through varying the amount of electrical energy for each element delivered to each channel.
    What you have is a mono source that should be panned to center. This will equally divide the signal so it will be delivered out both the L & R channels.
    Load the original clip to the VIEWER and set the PAN to 0 (zero). Delete any duplicates. They are unnecessary.

  • Losing sound on the right channel or sound level is extremely low

    This started happening when I got my 5. speaker system ( Logitech Z-5500 ) sometimes I would lose all sound from the right channel ( both front and rear and sometimes including center ) and sometimes the volume is at an extremely low level even if the sound card output is at 00% now fixing this is either a reboot or a change of audio mode Game to Ent ( vice versa ) Is creative working on a permanent fix for this one ? Im using X-Fi Extreme Music and Windows 7 64bit 8GB of ram

  • Why does the Math Channel save twice as many datapoints than my actual data channels when I export it?

    I have data on channels 1 and 2 and also have the math channel (A + B) selected.
    When I export data, it saves twice as many data points for the math channel than the others. Why is this?
    Note, I am using Sample, not Peak Detect.
    If anybody could answer this I would be very grateful.

    Which version of the application are you using -- 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2?
    In versions 1.0 and 1.1, the math channel did linear interpolation between samples to help support cursors and measurements. In 1.2, we improved the cursors and were able to remove the linear interpolation.
    Regardless of your application version, the timestamp associated with each sample will indicate when the sample was taken.

  • Why is the right side of my MacBook Pro screen distorted?

    I've had my MacBook Pro for 4.5 years and have really had little trouble with it. A little over a year ago, however, someone in my family dropped something on the laptop when it was closed and broke the screen.  One trip to the Genius Bar later and we now had a new screen, one that has again given us little to no trouble whatsoever since then.
    However, as of a week or so ago the right side of the screen has become distorted.  At first, it was a minor annoyance, as it’s only about an inch wide and would come and go at random.  Plus, if I applied some pressure to the screen where the distortion appeared, it would go away.  Unfortunately, it would inevitably re-appear a short while later, usually if I lightly bumped the laptop or moved it a bit. 
    Now it’s there all the time.  I’ll open the laptop to use it and, after a minute or so, it’ll appear.  Now the only way to make it go away is if I close the laptop.  I can still use the computer, but the distorted column makes it hard to concentrate, plus I don’t know if it’s wrecking the screen any further.  It’s hard to use various programs such as iMovie, as I’ll have to move them around so the distorted area isn’t covering any of my work. 
    What could have caused this?  I installed any and all updates the other day, so everything’s up to date on there.  I always keep it out of harm’s way, especially ever since our incident last year.  When it’s not being used, it’s always on a soft surface, always under a bed, couch or some other area where our two-year old and cats can’t get to it.  I also never keep it anywhere other than our family room or bedroom, where the room temperature is never too hot or cold.  Trust me, nothing else has fallen on it since the new screen was purchased last year.
    Are there any possible remedies to this?  Or is it back to the Genius Bar again?  I’m reluctant to try and take it apart at all, but if that’s my only option and there’s an easy method that won’t harm the computer, I suppose I could give it a shot.  Or if there’s some video card setting I need to adjust I’m all for hearing about it.

    It fixed it self when i picked up to use it this morning. Thanks for the tip I'll try that when all else fails.
    If anyone else would like to tell me what they have done to fix this problem I would take any other advice as well.
    Thanks, Ashka!

  • Why is the Weather Channel app blocked in OSX?

    Every attempt I've made this evening to install a The Weather Channel app on this computer has been blocked.
    The app is fine on iOS..
    What gives??

    Because iOS App's for iDevices are not made to run in OS X.
    Also > The Weather Channel App for Windows with Current Conditions, Local Alerts, and Radar, will not work because it is only for Windows desktops.
    You can however get the > The Weather Channel Widget for your OS X Desktop and then easily access Weather.com from it.

  • Why is the right hand side of the tables on a Word document that was imported being cut off using Webhelp but not when using Webhelp Pro?

    I would prefer to use Webhelp and not Webhelp Pro because Webhelp allow for the insertion of a logo located to the right of the search field by selecting the "Show About" check box when generating content. The problem is that Webhelp is cutting off the words in the tables. Wordwrap is turned on in the Word document and the rest of the sentence will continue beneath the "cut off" word.

    You would only use WebHelp Pro if you were using RH Server – that’s what the “pro” versions of output are for. I would suggest that something’s wrong with your table definition. You talk about a Word document – is this the source or the output you’re talking about?

  • Why was the Weather Channel App changed?

    The new weather Channel App for the touchscreen really sucks now. I used to have it as the "Screensaver" because it showed everything all in one place. Now its completly useless. You have to make different selections to see useful info instead of having it all on one screen. You used to be able to walk by, glance at the screen and see everything you needed or wanted to know. Is there any way of getting the old app back on the touchscreen?
