User Guide
If you prefer to keep your track panned to a fixed point throughout the duration session,
deselect Pan Envelopes. Deselecting this option removes the envelopes from the waveform
display and lets you set the Panner Point to any static position you want. You can toggle
the Pan Envelopes setting on and off and any envelope points you have created for this
track are retained. Note that if Pan Envelopes is not selected, you can drag the Panner
Point during playback and hear your static pan positioning in real time.
Pan Envelope Automation
To create a dynamic pan on a track:
1 In the Multichannel Encoder dialog box, select the box for a track in the Track List.
2 From the Panning Assignment menu, choose either “Surround Panner, Stereo Source”
or “Surround Panner, Summed To Mono”.
3 Select Pan Envelopes, located above the right side of the waveform display. Two
envelope lines appear in the waveform display. (Because the yellow line starts on top of the
green line, you may see only the yellow line until you change the pan position.)
4 Click in the waveform display where you want to set a pan destination for the sound
source. The vertical cursor moves to this time location.
5 Drag the Panner Point in the Surround Panner to the desired position in the sound
field. Two handle points appear on the envelope lines within the waveform display and
move as you position the Panner Point. (You can also click either of the envelope lines to
create additional adjustable handles for shaping the envelope lines.)
6 To edit an envelope handle, drag it. The Panner Point moves in tandem to show you the
relative position in the sound field during playback. To delete a handle, drag it up or down
beyond the edge of the waveform display area.
7 To clear all envelope handle points and reset the track to flat envelopes, select Clear All,
located below and to the right of the Pan Envelopes option.
