Panning in Surround

Unlike stereo panning which sends sound to left and right speakers,

surround panning means sending sound to multiple speakers at points

along a circle.

When a track/bus/send is assigned to a surround bus, the Pan control turns

into a multi-dimensional surround panner. The surround panner comes in

four sizes:

• Micro—this is found in the Track view.

• Small—this is found on sends.

• Medium—this is the surround panner which is displayed in the Track

Inspector and Console view.

• Large—this is a large surround panner (see Controlling Surround

Panning for a picture) which has additional controls, and appears when

you right-click a surround panner and choose Open Surround Panner

from the popup menu, or double-click outside the surround panner

circle, or press Enter when the panner has focus.
