What for? Width will default to 100% when created, so I'd think it should reset to there. 100% width is the unity setting. Right now doubleclick to reset results in a track sound mono, that can't be intended. Sort of as if volume faders would reset to -inf.

I agree, makes perfect sense.

Yep, it should go back to 100%

"Negative nancy" post warning ;)
Anyone else finding the new options a little counter intuitive?
I teach pan law to my students but even I had to have an actual play around to confirm the way reaper now handles it. Really don't think the naming convention is clear at the moment.

Good point Mercado not much use posting if I can't explain why
too late tonight though for detailed explanation but will aim to post tomorrow with screenshots if I get time.
It's just some of the nomenclature that doesn't make sense compared to what we had before and I'm use to in other daws.
I just wanted to see if I'm the only one
Plus there really does seem to be a volume bug when panning if you set it to -6.0, compensated, stereo pan (sinusoidal taper)

There's not too often I want to limit my stereo width on purpose.
How about L C R buttons for each channel on the track. That's all I need.

Only happens with mono signals? Limitation you we have to live with I think.

I found it happening on stereo tracks, not tried it on mono ones yet.

But any change to the panning of left or right in a stereo-signal (with a swap of left and right as the only exception) is narrowing the width, no?
You ARE narrowing the width when you pan left or right around, whether its done using the width parameter, seperate pans for each channel or left/right/center buttons

I don't agree. If it will reset to 100%, then it will be very hard to set it precisely to 0%. And setting to 100% is always easy.

If the Width would reset to 0%, then that track would have a Mono output (i.e. no stereo image), that would be seriously confusing to a lot of new users ...

i agree. it should default to 100% but reset to 0% on double-click.

I don't pan stereo sources. Mic position determines width. Left, Right and center are the only pan positions I use the vast majority of the time.

Is the stereo width control based on SStillwell/stereowidth?

got to say that i love the new panning & Balance Modes (& the new width control)
i have V3 tracks that i used panning in & when i open them in v4 & swap the panning law for the new default it always sound better (So Far)
always just "Better" i have not had to fix any panning broken by the new panning settings
i was completely unimpressed by this feature when reading the first V4 alpha0 change log, how foolish was i?

Nope. It's 100% stereo on the right, mono in the middle and 100% stereo with channels reversed on the left. There's no mid-side manipulation.

Right now you can't place one channel at X and then(separately) move the opposite channel to Y, that's true, but you can effectively place both channels at X and Y, respectively, by moving both pan and width in Stereo Pan mode. Different ways to get you there, that's all.
Yes, it it possible. Once you move the width fader to negative values the stereo image is reversed so if you need to put R to L and L to R you just need to move the width fader to -100%.

If I know you Mercado, you are referring to a true mono signal right - not a mono signal that has been converted to stereo right?

No that's a great idea, when you're dealing with folders, etc., you can automatically set the 0db pan law
I just wish v3 was offered sinusoidal pan

Could you please explain what you mean by 'true' mono or how you converted a mono signal to stereo?

I don't think I understood the discussion clearly but what I was
saying was that if you take say a mono guitar track then put a stereo
chorus on there that would be a stereo signal - I think I was talking
about something else.
For a free visual panning tool I don't think you can beat Flux.

Yes, you're correct. Pan and width are right after plug-ins in the signal path so you can effectively use width and Stereo Pan in that situation.

I've made a wiki-page for the new pan modes:
http://wiki.cockos.com/wiki/index.php/Pan_mode
Please fill out with relevant info.
Question:
- How is Dual-pan handled regarding automation?
- Is stereo pan constant power? (Used it, feel it's reduced when reducing width)
- Are there any difference between "Project default (stereo balance)" and "Stereo balance/ mono pan (default)"
- What is a full path of all available pan and volume-adjustments (automation and controls)?
(If it's written before in this thread, just point me there, thanks!)

More questions:
- Stereo pan: How is pan working here? 50% left is ch2 panned to center?
-- Automating: Is pan working the same way here?
- Dual pan: Can I automate the dual pan?

I am a little confused by all of this and need to read a bit more carefully. In the meantime, how should I set things if I want Reaper to behave similarly to an analog console that has a pan law of -4.5? Would I set the entire project or just individual tracks that need panning? I've been setting individual tracks.

You'd probably find it easier to set your pan law in project settings, then all tracks will behave in the same way, unless you actively change a pan law for a specific track.

Change individual tracks, leave your projects at default settings. If you need to automate your pan then change it, otherwise, keep it at +0.0dB. That's easier imo.
