Setting Channel Strip Pan Position
You pan sounds to different positions to place them in the stereo field from left to
right. You set the pan position of a track or bus channel strip using the channel strip
pan slider or value slider. You can’t pan an output channel strip.
To set the pan position of a channel strip, do one of the following:
m Drag the pan slider left or right to the pan position you want.
m Click along the length of the pan slider at the point you want to set the pan position.
m Click the left or right arrow on the edges of the pan value slider.
m With the pointer over the center of the pan value slider, hold down the mouse button
and drag left or right.
m Click the center of the pan value slider, then type a new value.
The scale is from –100 to 100, with 0 (zero) as the center value. Negative values are left
of center, and positive values are right of center. The default is 0.
To return the pan slider to the default level:
m Double-click the knob in the pan slider.
Setting Channel Strip Output
On a hardware mixing console, you can send signals to different physical outputs. You
can create outputs in Soundtrack Pro, assign tracks and busses to different outputs, and
assign outputs to physical output channels on connected audio devices. You can send
audio from as many tracks and busses to the same output as you want.
To set the output for a track or bus:
m In the channel strip for the track or bus, choose the output from the Output pop-up
menu.
For outputs in the Mixer, the Output menu lists the available physical output channels
(and channel pairs) for audio output devices connected to your computer.
