Setting an individual audio track to always center pan
-
The thing is, to the best of my knowledge: pans are applied to clips, not to tracks. Audio Track Effects (used to be RTAS, now AAX) are applied before the panning, though. They are part of the mono ‘bus’, that then gets panned after processing.
Wouldn’t setting your default panning set to center do what you want, though?

Thank you Job
it most certainly would – There are ways around it for sure, by simply completing an initial step, but i was trying to keep all the audio settings and configurations as is for all the other people using the same media, so was looking to only manipulate whats in the sequence. Of course, after ive cut all my audio in the new sequence, I can also globally pan everything center, but was looking for the immediate satisfaction option of cutting in audio and then instantly being able to audition it panned correctly. A total nice to have, and really not a big deal, but i hear you on the order of operations when it comes to panning, so will just have to deal with it. No biggie, just thought with all the power of RTAS and on the fly audio effects and filters, a pan option might be amongst it too -
Also, thank you for ELLE – Had me feeling super uncomfortable like a Haneke film 🙂

Thanks, I appreciate that! Job

I think I’ve previously used ‘stereo width’ as an RTAS on mono tracks to achieve what you are trying to accomplish. I also think it fell off the list, for mono tracks, in the transition to AAX. (Quite likely I’m misremembering all of that though)
Nowadays I just work with all mono centre panned but it can get messy if working with editors who haven’t embraced stereo tracks.
Maybe go and make a feature request at community.avid.com? Be a good addition to channel strip which is a great one stop shop for trim/phase/eq/compression

Mono Sound Field | Air Stereo Width – is still there (2018.12.1) and works as advertised – set width to 0%.
