I’m doing a test before I do a full split track output of a sequence. For the test I used 1 mono track and a stereo pair.

I just find it odd that when the mono track is laid in the sequence, and the sequence’s output settings are set to stereo, the sound plays out of both speakers, but when I set the sequences audio output to dual mono, the mono track ignores the pan setting and plays out of one speaker.

The split track file will be: track 1 dialogue, track 2 effects, track 3 voice overs and ADR, track 4 and 5 MX.

If I was to output the mono track (panned center) from FCP using the dual mono audio output and then open that file with quicktime player, the quicktime player sends the audio to both speakers. Its just odd that you cant play back in FCP and get the same outcome.
