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” on page 984 for a

picture) which has additional controls, and appears when you right-click a surround panner and

choose Open Surround Panner from the pop-up menu, or double-click outside the surround

panner circle, or press ENTER when the panner has focus.
