Sound quality of instrument packs from store
I recently made my first purchase from the Beatmaker 2 store in the app. After downloading the demos and listening to them, I knew I was interested in this one as well as "vintage gears", however I noticed that for some reason in all of the samples the audio is panning from side to side. I figured that it must be a "watermark" added, so that nobody would want to use the demo instruments in their project, and would therefore be more likely to purchase the pack.
Much to my disappointment, after downloading the pack I found that ALL of the instruments contained this artifact. This is extremely noticable and even disorienting while wearing headphones. Needless to say I do NOT feel compelled to use these in one of my projects until fixing this issue.
I was thinking that if I were to transfer the samples to my desktop computer, I could use a program like Audacity to turn the stereo samples into mono, which would then get rid of this issue. Does anybody know if that would work, or have any other suggestions?
