    Are the instruments in Special Edition One recorded in the actual players' positions (that is, pre-panned)? Or do you need to pan them? I ask because I combine different libraries. I have the Synchron Appasionata Strings, for example, and they seemed to be pre-panned. I also use some non-vienna libraries, and they are also pre-panned. I've been power-panning my SE instruments to match the pans in my other libraries.

    If I do nothing, that is, leave a SE instrument exactly as it is, no panning of any sort, is that OK? Or does it result in it being directly in the middle?

    Hi Michael,

    The Synchron Series is pre-panned and volume matched, so are also the SYNCHRON-ized instruments.
    The instruments from the VI series are always centered.

    It depends which variant of the SE instruments you are using: the VI SE are all centered, the SYNCHRON-ized special Editions are all pre-panned.

    Best, ben

    Thanks for the quick reply, Ben. This will help me in my continuing quest to achieve the best sound I can get from my various libraries.
