Stereo/Mono Mix Channels
Many channels can be either stereo or mono.
Toggle a mixer channel between mono
and stereo by clicking the input
selector at the top of its channel strip
in the Mixer window.
Pan/Balance/Rotate Functions
You can also do this in the Channel window.
Go to the channel’s Input section, click Add,
and choose “Flip to Stereo” or “Flip to Mono”
from the drop- down menu.
Multi-function pan/balance/rotate knobs provide mono panning and stereo balance and rotation.
A—Mono Panner/Stereo Balance Knob:
When a mono signal is bussed to a stereo channel, rotating the panner causes a gain decrease in one
channel and a corresponding increase in the other. This is classic panning. When the panner is used on a
stereo channel, the source moves right to left.
B—Left and Right Panners
The panners set the pan values of the left and right channels to the destination independently. Adjusting
the panners together is stereo rotation—moving a stereo image within a soundscape while retaining its
image and width. Consider this to be the stereo equivalent of mono panning.
Moving one panner widens or narrows the stereo image asymmetrically. Ctrl+drag to widen or narrow
the stereo image evenly. The image can be summed to mono (width=0) or panned beyond mono to
reverse the stereo image (rotation indicator turns brown).
C—Stereo Rotation/Stereo Width
The colored area between the panners indicates the width and direction of the stereo image. Drag this
area to rotate the image.
D—Value
Indicates the value of the selected control.
