Using the Surround Panners

You use the panning controls in the track headers to set the pan position of a track or a
bus. By default, the panning controls are set to stereo. You can easily switch between
stereo panners and surround panners.

For surround playback, you must set the appropriate tracks or busses to use the
surround panner.

To switch the panning controls from stereo to surround, do one of the following:

m

Select a track or bus in the Timeline, then choose Multitrack > Use Surround Panner.

m

Select a channel strip in the Mixer, then choose Multitrack > Use Surround Panner.

m

Control-click the stereo pan slider in a track header, then choose Use Surround Panner
from the shortcut menu.

m

Control-click the stereo pan slider in a Mixer channel strip, then choose Use Surround
Panner from the shortcut menu.
