Tutorial 4: Mixing and Effects
Setting Pan
1. Setting the pan for each track moves its position in the
stereo mix. It will either keep the signal balanced in the
middle of the left and right speaker, lean to the left or lean
to the right or be completely in the left or right speaker.
• To get the panner back to the middle (the default posi-
tion), [Alt]/[Option]-click anywhere in the panner area.
2. Let’s pan our two guitars slightly left and slightly right.
This will spread them out a bit.
3. Keep the “Drums” track in the middle but let’s move
“Loop 1” a bit to the left and “Loop 2” a bit to the right.
This will give our rhythm section a larger more spacious sound.
That’s it for pan, let’s move on to Mute and Solo.
Mute and solo
• For each track there is a “M” for mute and “S” for solo
button. Mute will prevent you from hearing the track and
solo will only play that track or tracks which have “S” high-
lighted.
• You can have several tracks muted or soloed at a time.
• When you solo a track, the other tracks become muted.
• If you want to clear or deactivate all the mutes or solos,
click on the “Deactivate all Mute” or “Deactivate all Solo”
buttons in the common panel to the left of the Mixer.
