    I think I can speak for everyone who commented on this topic that no one is expecting the reverb just coming from one side!

    It’s about recreating a more natural, better separated and wider sound if the early reflections would respect the panning of the signals. Also early digital reverbs like Lexicon 224 and 480 are working in true stereo. Yes, EMT250 only has mono input, but in a digital age it’s a no longer relevant limitation. But that’s a whole other discussion.

    What we can take away from this is that there is no need to waste Stereo FX Busses for reverb and honestly not really many dLive users are aware of that.

    Thanks RuneS for confirming my observation!
    I think I tried all algorithms with headphones AFL different paths of the signal. Maybe I missed one or two, but still it would be strange if only a few algorithms would process the left and right signal independently (true stereo) and others wouldn’t.

    The screenshots were just posted for demonstration purpose, but I agree that it’s not an accurate method to test it. Depending on the chosen space one side should be more or less louder than the other side when fed a hard panned source.

    I guess at this point we can confirm that the reverb doesn’t care about the panning of the send. For me it’s not a deal breaker, just something most dLive users don’t know and something you have to be aware of if you think you can create different spaces on the left and right side. Only for broadcast purposes I think it’s kind of a bummer.

    Thanks Scott. Like I said I enabled “follow main pan”, but for my concern it doesn’t even matter.
    Even if I choose to individually pan things to a Stereo FX Send I don’t get a True Stereo Reverb out of the FX Return. So I guess dLive just makes a Mono Sum from the Send and the Reverb creates a Stereo Track from it.

    It is very noticeable if you hard pan something. Of course AFL the FX Send so you know you did it correctly. The result is always the same.

    Basically I just would like to have a confirmation that dLive behaves like this. Feel free to test it out yourself and let me know πŸ™‚ I would appreciate it!

    Please take a look at the Meter Levels on Send and Return in the screenshots attached.

    It’s great that finally Director works smoothly on newest Mac OS, but when I’m using Director offline I can’t choose MixRack and Surface configuration anymore. Is it only me? I will attach pictures of the problem.

    But so far, thanks for the update!

    You’re right that a feedback loop could be created this way, so best left turned off.

    Can anybody figure out a situation where this comes in handy? I still struggling to find a use case for it πŸ˜…πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
