Using Surround Panning in the Mixer

Logic Pro allows mixdowns in several surround formats, even if your audio hardware
offers only two outputs. Because it would be difficult to mix or record in surround format
without being able to hear the result, it is best to not select this option if you’re monitoring
or mixing through stereo speakers.

All audio, instrument, and aux channel strips can be individually set to different surround
formats.

To set a channel strip output to surround

µ

Open the Output slot of a channel strip, and choose Surround in the pop-up menu.

The Pan control is replaced by a Surround Panner. The loudspeakers are represented by
colored dots, and the pan position is indicated by a white dot that can be dragged.
