Pan2
When I use the pan2 (control by the appropriate knob) and bring everything to the right or left, the master of about 3 dB is performed. To overcome this problem (as you can see from the patch) I made sure that when the pan is not central the master will be lowered proportionally with a maximum value of 3 dB. Is there an automatic and more precise way to balance the two signals (pre and post pan)? "

When I click on the waveform object, to reproduce the imported file in the buffer at a certain second, the multislider that I set to report the progress of reading the file is not updated. This is visible by pressing "play" and going to click anywhere on the waveform. Consequently also the minutage of the playbar (consisting of waveform and multislider) does not update.
Pan should be -6bdb in the center, 0 db at max L or R.
Why do you use pan2 , instead of making simple panner using for example matrix~ ?
Looking briefly into the patch, I see it is not serving as panner at all but as what ?
Stereo signal is getting into mono input.
The patch is too mixed up to be able to see the flow without loosing too much time with it.
Try matrix~ and control it the way you need it.
Roberto,
Not sure this is what you are looking for, but I made an abstraction that implements panning with a "Constant Power" formula from Roads (1996), COMPUTER MUSIC TUTORIAL, p. 460. It does not appear to gain or lose volume across the stereo field.
Here is the abstraction, called [mmt.pan_stereo]:
Here is the help patch which contains a "patcher" version:
Hope this helps,
Mitch
Thanks Mitch!!!
Below are direct links to two of my panner abstractions. Both use the constant power formula found in Roads (1996) The Computer Music Tutorial, p. 460.

Thanks a lot! R.
