Using Clip Volume and Pan Mode
805
You can snap the Pan Location cursor to one speaker position by double-clicking a speaker
icon. This pans the audio fully to that speaker position. For example, if you click the upper
left speaker icon, the Pan Location cursor moves to the upper left corner of the grid and pans
the audio fully to the left speaker position.
8. When you finish adjusting pan with the Advanced Panner, click the Close button to return to
the Audio Mixer tool.
To pan using the Position controls:
1. Adjust the Front and Rear Position controls to set the trajectory line.
2. Rotate the Front/Rear Position control to pan along the trajectory. The Pan Location cursor
is constrained to the trajectory line.
3. If you want to change the trajectory angles, do one of the following:
t Drag either end point (Front or Rear) of the trajectory line.
t Adjust the Front or Rear Position controls.
4. If you want to change the current trajectory position (left-to-right) and retain its current
angles, drag the trajectory line (not its end points) to a new position.
Using the Center Percentage and LFE Controls
The Advanced Panner provides you with additional controls:
• Center Percentage controls whether there is a discrete center channel for the track or a
phantom center channel. For example, in film and video production, the center channel often
contains dialog. To enhance the clarity of dialog, you might need to reduce the Center
Percentage on music tracks, which forces music panned only to the left and right speakers
and leaves a variable phantom center image.
• The LFE slider controls how much of the track is sent to LFE.
To adjust the Center Percentage:
1. Select Tools > Audio Mixer.
The Audio Mixer tool opens.
2. Select Clip Volume and Pan mode by doing one of the following:
t Click and hold the Audio Mixer mode button, and select Auto Mode from the menu.
t Click the Audio Mixer mode button and cycle through the Audio Mixer mode settings to
Auto.
3. In the Audio Mixer tool, select the audio track to be adjusted by doing one of the following:
t Click the Track Selection button for the appropriate audio track.
