CHAPTER 10 218
Creating Surround Sound
You can also drag the Panner Point outside the sound field directly on top of one of the
five main speakers or on top of the LFE speaker. Once the Panner Point is in any one of
these speaker locations, the audio from the currently selected track is summed to a mono
signal and sent discretely to this one speaker channel. This is an easy way to send the
complete track signal all to one channel.
Surround Panner options
A. Left Surround B. Front Left C. Center
D. Front Right E. Right Surround
F. Low Frequency Effects (Sub Bass) G. Panner Point
To use the Surround Panner:
In the Multichannel Encoder dialog box, drag the white Panner Point, which represents
the location of the audio track in the sound field.
Automating the pan envelope
When you select Pan Envelopes, two envelope lines appear in the waveform display.
The yellow envelope line controls the Left/Right balance and the green line controls the
Front/Surround balance. These envelopes are interactive with the positioning of the
Panner Point in the Surround Panner interface. It is possible to create dynamic panning
over time by using these envelopes. (See “Automating mixes with clip envelopes” on
page 188.)
