Changing the Volume and Panning of an Event
About this Section - What Volume/Pan am I changing?
In this section we deal with the “mechanics” of adding the Volume/Pan changes.
You will learn how to change the volume and panning of individual Events and how
to create dynamic changes of the same parameters.The relation between the volume
you put in for an Event, the volume control in the Mixer window and the volume
control in the Monitor window is described in detail on page 322.
Displaying the Volume/Pan Curve
For the Events to display any Dynamic data, the Dynamic Events item on the View
pop-up menu must be ticked. To select whether volume or pan should be shown in
the Events, pull down the pop-up menu immediately right of the Edit Solo button
and select the corresponding option.
The third option, M-Points, is described on page 249.
Event/Segment relation for Volume/Pan Curves
Even though we are talking about volume and pan for Events here, in fact the dy-
namic data affects the segment that the Event plays. This means that if you have
Ghost Events (that play the same segment), any changes you do to the volume/pan
curve for one of the Events, will be reflected in the others.
Changing the overall Volume/Pan for an Event
Please note that the Volume and Pan curves differ a bit when it comes to default val-
ues:
• If you haven’t yet edited the Volume curve for an Event, it consists of one
single straight line.
That is, the volume is constant for the entire length of the Event. The default
value is 0.0 dB.
• For Pan, there is no default value!
This means, that if you haven’t yet edited the Pan curve for an Event, there is
no curve shown at all. Instead the Panning set for the channel in the Monitor
window is used. As soon as you insert a Pan value in the Dynamic Events dis-
play, a Pan curve is created.
