Depends on the genre, really. There are tons of great sequencers, and nowadays everyone uses software instruments to write music. There are still some who go out and record actual orchestras, but due to budget constraints with most games, a lot of composers just use samples of the instruments.

More than anything it probably is bad cables. If you're using crappy RCA or 1/4 cables, often times that's the reason.
It's not that things sounds quieter in the right channel, it's just that I'll be writing and writing and all of a sudden everything is panned to the right. For some reason, I don't feel comfortable panning things to the left, but I force myself to anyways :\

When we write, we do it from left to right, because of that and some other mental reasons, when we see an image moving from left to right, that appears as moving "forward" and when an image is moving from right to left we think it as "backward".
Interesting explanation. That might be it, but why me? :P
I've noticed more and more that when I'm writing music, I tend to pan most of the instruments over to the right channel. Even when I try to stop it, I find myself putting more stuff over there anyways. I don't know why...it just sounds "right" to me, no pun intended. Maybe it's a left-brain vs right-brain thing, I dunno.
Has anyone else noticed weird trends in their production habits?
For another thing, the list is quite large and some people are on there for days, even weeks, before getting approved. Your time will come, don't you worry.
