I noticed it as well and I am not sure why it is … I just took the main mixer and bumped it up to correct the problem … I am still of the opinion that I will stick with 1.5 until 3.0 comes out … WILLIE

Audition 2.0 implemented support for the Panning Law on the master output, which can be disabled in the Preferences under Multitrack->Stereo Panning Mode.

Panning Law, if you’re not familiar, is the term used to describe the behavior of mixing consoles when a track was panned hard left or right, as compared to centered. The amplitude when panned hard was quieter than when centered, due to linear gain increase/decrease on each channel to simulate the pan. When centered, both channels played at full gain, giving an apparent +3dB gain as opposed to hard-panned to one side. There’s an excellent explanation of this over at Harmony Central: https://www.harmony-central.com/articles/tips/panning_laws/

This shouldn’t be an issue when creating new sessions, but you’ll definitely notice it when importing sessions from 1.5. Changing that preference setting should prevent this from being an issue.
