Does this sound balanced to you??
« on: November 25, 2006, 12:45:24 PM »
With my audio editing program (Sound Studio) it looks like the right and left channel should be balanced, but through headphones it sounds like it is right-heavy.  I've tried listening through different headphones and it sounds the same.  Does it sound off-balance to you?  Do I need a hearing test?? (I wouldn't be surprised... :().  I would like to know what others think.  I would hate to be uploading shows that are not right-and-left balanced.  Or am I being too nitpicky??

Sounds fine to me - perhaps the image is bit to the right (just slightly) - but it doesn't sound like the channels are out of balance...

Well, I *was* sitting about 15 feet off of center.  I see what you're saying... the image is separate from the simple balance of right and left.  I suppose there's no way to fix that unless I sit DFC... ::)  I'm also guessing that most folks won't really care... ?

+T for the feedback...
