Applying Stereo, Pitch, and Delay Effects

To use the Binaural Auto-Panner effect:

1

In Edit View, select a stereo range.

2

In the Effects tab of the Organizer window, expand Amplitude, and double-click

Binaural Auto-Panner.

3

Set the desired options.

For more information, search for “Binaural Auto-Panner options” in Help.

Using the Channel Mixer effect

The Channel Mixer effect alters the left and right balance of a stereo waveform, letting you
create new stereo mixes by using the existing right and left channels as input sources. By
recombining and inverting the channels, you can create some interesting stereo-imaging
effects.

To use the Channel Mixer effect:

1

Select a stereo range.

2

In the Effects tab of the Organizer window, expand Amplitude, and double-click

Channel Mixer.

3

Set the desired options.

For more information, search for “Channel Mixer options” in Help.

Using the Pan/Expand effect

The Pan/Expand effect lets you shift the center channel of a stereo waveform. It also lets
you expand or narrow the stereo separation of the left and right channels.

Center channel panning uses the surround and center channels of a stereo recording, where
the surround channel is the difference of the two original channels, and the center channel
is the sum of them. You can think of a stereo recording as having four channels (left, right,
center, and surround), and this effect lets you pan these channels around. For example,
pan hard left to get the original center channel to come out the left speaker and the original
surround channel to come out the right. This type of panning can provide added realism
to original stereo recordings.
