The trim level is added to the pan automation settings so your panning envelope is preserved, but with an offset applied. For
example, setting the trim control to -9% left has the same effect as moving every envelope point 9% to the left.
Adjusting track panning trim levels
1. Deselect the Automation Settings button ( ).
2. Drag the Pan slider to control the position of the track in the stereo field. Dragging to the left will place the track in the left
speaker more than the right, and dragging to the right will place the track in the right speaker.
You can hold Ctrl while dragging the slider to adjust the setting in finer increments, or double-click the slider to return it to 0.
If multiple tracks are selected, all selected tracks are adjusted.
Adjusting the track panning automation level
When you select the Automation Settings button ( ), the Pan slider handle is displayed with an automation icon ( ), and you
can use the control to edit pan automation. For more information, see Volume or pan automation (audio only) on page 166.
Changing the pan mode
Right-click the slider handle and choose a pan type to change the behavior of the Pan slider.
Note: This procedure applies to stereo panning only. For information about panning 5.1 surround projects, see Panning audio on
page 254.
Tip: If you do not see this slider on a track, increase the track height. For more information, see Resizing a track on page 152.
Note: The selected panning mode is also used for track-level pan envelopes. For more information, see Volume or pan automation
(audio only) on page 166.
Item Description
Add Channels This mode is most useful for panning stereo files. As you pan across the stereo field,
the stereo image appears to move across the speakers. As you pan toward either side,
the signal from the opposite channel is added to the channel you are panning toward
until at the extreme both channels are sent to a single channel at full volume.
This mode uses a linear panning curve.
Important: You can introduce clipping when channels are added. Monitor the
meters in the Mixer and adjust the track volume accordingly.
