Inverse Linked Panning
When linked and set to Inverse mode, panning
moves are inverted or reversed in the other chan-
nels.
Inverse panning reflects one side’s location and di-
rection in the other side. For example, when en-
abled for Front Inverse, if you pan one side of a ste-
reo track output from right to left, the other side
will exactly mirror that movement and pan left to
right.
Front Inverse linking is available on all systems.
Rear Inverse, and Front/Rear Inverse linking are
available on Pro Tools HD systems only, and only
appear as options on multichannel plug-ins and
panners/output windows.
To enable inverse linking:
1 Enable the Link icon.
2 Select an Inverse mode.
Standard Selector Controls in
Output Windows
All Output windows provide standard selectors for
path, automation, and other controls in the top area
of the window (the Output Editor area).
Track Selector Provides access to any audio track,
Auxiliary Input, or Master Fader in the session.
Output View Selector Provides access to other
outputs (track and send) in the track, if any, dis-
playing the selected output in the current window.
Send View Selector (Send Window Only) Pro-
vides access to other sends on the track.
Output Path Selector Allows you to assign the
Output path for the current track or send.
Pre/Post Fader Button (Send Window Only) De-
termines whether the send is pre- or post-fader.
FMP (Follow Main Pan) (Send Window Only) De-
termines whether or not panning for the send fol-
lows the panning settings of the track. When the
FMP button is enabled, the Panning controls in the
Send window become unavailable and the panning
for the send is determined by the panning settings
for the track.
Automation Safe Protects track and send level,
pan, and other controls from automation over-
writes by placing them in Automation Safe mode.
See Chapter 50, “Automation” for more informa-
tion.
Inverse Pan Reflects one side’s panning location
and direction in the other side (for example, left-
and right-channel Pan controls).
