Setting panorama
The panorama (pan) settings allow you to move the position of each channel in
the stereo mix. By positioning some of the instruments on the left or right, you
can create a rich and spacious sound. Pan settings depend greatly on the
actual position of the instruments on a stage and on personal preferences.
• To set the panorama for a channel, click on the pan control above the chan-
nel fader in the Mixer and move it to the right or left.
The pan position is also indicated as a numerical value below the pan control.
• To get a panner back to the center position (default), [Ctrl]/[Command]-click
anywhere in the panner area.
In the following, you will find a few tips and guidelines about positioning differ-
ent instruments:
• Bass drum (kick), bass guitar, rhythm guitar and lead vocals are normally
kept in the center position.
• Lead guitar, keyboard, and drums (except for the bass drum) are often
panned left or right.
• Instruments that are available in pairs (e. g. guitars) can be panned left and
right.
