Hi Guys, I'm sure I'm probably being an idiot and have missed something really obvious!

I'm working with files recorded with binaural mikes - they import into my session fine and playback as required but when I drop them into my mix they sem to re-pan to centre. It's like there is some kind of automatic stereo field normalisation going on. I can see from the displayed file that there should be a strong bias to the right but when i listen, there it is right in the middle of the stereo field.

Is Audition trying to be helpful - can I ask it to stop?

The session settings match the imported files.

So they show up as stereo files in the Waveform view OK. You are importing them into a Stereo Multitrack session not a Mono one if that is where you are trying to do your mix?

Thanks ryclark - I think we have established that I am indeed simply an idiot ;-).

Was dropping it into a default track which was of course mono.

Thansk again
