    I used Waves L1 mono on mono return …

    You’re right, the pan knob is gone! It’s hidden (not grayed out).
    The strange thing is that if I delete and recreate Return manually and insert the plugin (mono), the pan knob is perfectly visible and working.

    That.

    I hope I’m not too late for this party 😛

    Podium will only show/enable a pan control if it is placed somewhere in the audio flow where either the source or the target is stereo. If you autocreate a return for a mono track, Podium will assign a mono send/return. If you manually create the return track and the pan control appears, you probably have assigned a stereo return mapping.

    I’m not sure what you mean by mono track…

    I can barely get my head around this too. The image below shows how I set up part of your scenario, alex. I tried both manual and automatic creation of a return bus but didn’t use a mono reverb. Which leaves my attempt, to emulate your scenario, useless #-o

    However…

    When I enable the panning controls, using the Track Properties dialogue, the output of the return track becomes stereo and sounds like it spreads the mono signal across the field. When I disabled the panning controls the sound stays mono (contrary to the 2-bar dB meter pictured).

    Alternatively…

    May I suggest you use a reverb that has ‘stereo width’ control?!
    Or a stereo tool with the same function after your mono reverb?!

    Curse you, alex, for burning calories in my brain :clown:

    That’s the best workaround if you want to pan mono reverb under or opposite of the source. Of coarse, you can’t use reverbs that don’t have “width” control.

    The easiest way would be to use mono return and pan that, and the only real workaround for that, if you want to use some of your favorite mono verbs, is to make a copy of the track with all fx, insert that verb and pan that, but there’s that stupid cpu (BTW, I haven’t tried to do that – hopefully the pan knob won’t disappear :lol:).

    But, it’s not so important as long as there’s a workaround(s) – I just wanted to know if it was something about Podium or if it was me, doing something wrong.
