Stereo Field Rotate dialog
Note: If you specify a stereo field rotation of 180 degrees, both the left and right channels are 180 degrees out of phase. This
means that the waveform is inverted. (This is the same as choosing the Invert effect from the Effects menu). At 90 degrees right,
only the right channel is inverted. At 90 degrees left, just the left channel is inverted. In the range of -45 to 45 degrees, the
results are identical to Adobe Audition’s Pan/Expand effect, panning the center channel left or right while panning the
surround channel the opposite direction.
Rotation This graph represents the rotation of the stereo field over time. Use the graph to position the stereo field
anywhere from hard left (the top of the graph) or hard right (the bottom of the graph) at any specific point in time. The
x-axis (horizontal border) of the graph shows the waveform’s timeline, while the y-axis (vertical border) displays the
number of degrees off center for the left and right channels.
Note: For more information about Adobe Audition’s graph controls (such as how to add and remove control points), see the
“Looking at the Work Area” chapter.
Spline Curves Check this option to generate a smoother, best fit curve instead of a straight line between control points
on the graph. When you use Spline Curves, the line will not ordinarily travel directly through the control points; rather,
the points control the shape of this curve. To get the curve closer to a control point, click to create more control points
near the point in question. The more control points there are clustered together, the closer the spline curve will be to
those points. Use Spline Curves when you want very smooth curves instead of straight lines (with their discontinuities
at the control points).
Invert Left/Right Check this option to reverse the way the graph goes, so an upward line spins the field clockwise instead
of counter-clockwise.
