Surround Panner HUD Meters

The Surround Panner HUD includes level meters that show volume information from the
specific track or bus that you are panning. These meters can be hidden or displayed by
using the disclosure triangle. Track-specific meters are a useful reference given the possible
psychoacoustical “illusions” in surround mixing, such as the phantom center.

Meters Tab

The Meters tab displays levels for the current multitrack project. The channels displayed
in the Meters tab and in the Mixer meters (described in

Mixer Meters

) depend on the

audio interface connected to your computer, the current panner settings, and the current
output settings in System Preferences.

For more information about output settings, see
