[QUOTE="Kip Conner, post: 55513, member: 445"] Re: Why is left channel louder? Two other answers... the first (assuming you are talking about your own system) is that the meter comes before the actual output of the console. I had a crest on tour once that had an issue with the Right channel even though the meters showed them as being equal. Once I switched the L/R to a stereo matrix the problem went away. Secondly... your car. As studio mix engineers they have to keep in mind all of the sources that the material will be heard on. It's no accident that some instruments are stacked to the drivers side of the mix. For instance, I work for a singer songwriter and we mix his records with his acoustic and any soloing instruments slightly panned to the left (no more than 10 o'clock). The over all mix is generally balanced in terms of level, but the energy is sometimes slightly shifted in the psycho acoustic fashion. [/QUOTE]
