Hi friends
"Stereo Pan Laws" is related to the fact that without power compensation, the power of the sum of the left and right side will be higher (louder) if a channel is panned center than if it's panned left or right.
To remedy this, the stereo pan law settings allows you to attenuate signals panned center...
Easy, "BUT" wich one should i choose for my Seqencer and my Sound Card ?, makes sense to me that both settings match!
Do you know the reason for example in Cubase why they have about 5 diferent pan law settings ?
My main concern is if i wanna take some tracks to the studio to master, is there a "standard pan law settings" ?
Just an observation: pan laws are useful just for example to get a better mono compatibility. Correct?
When you center-it, it will sound as loud!
Hope someone can clarify me on this subject

It makes no difference for your soundcard or for delivery for mastering. It has no effect on the stereo output of your DAW. It also has no bearing on mono-compatibility. It only makes a difference while your are panning and setting levels on individual tracks.
The reason DAWs have pan laws is so that people can work in a way that is familiar to them. If you are used to working on an analogue console with a particular pan law, it is nice to have the same pan law in the DAW so that you can intuitively grab the pan knob and set the panning of an element in your mix.

Ok, Cool!
Sorted. jeje
I stay with the default -3db i guess!
Yeah, it's important to analyse the track with correlation meter to ensure a good energy destributon.
Thanks people
Much appreciated
