You don't need to necessarily move them apart and make the levels easier. The panning just needs to be fixed. When you had an acid pit in each ear, it wasn't so much that you couldn't tell which was which. It was just that the sounds bled together so much that it literally sounded as though the acid pit was in the center of the sound screen.
Best of luck to you.

Hi Ryan, I did notice that problem as well with the old engine/demo. One thing I am attempting to do in this engine is move objects with similar sounds further apart from each other. Like the two acid pits may have an extra 3 or 4 steps between them which would allow you to know if the sound on one is louder than the other. Although, some confusion might make it harder to play that level, and that might be an advantage for the game. Grin.
