How do I change pan?
Updated over 2 months ago

Panning refers to the distribution of a sound signal between the left and right channels in a stereo mix. Essentially, it determines where a sound is placed within the stereo field, allowing it to be heard more from the left, right, or equally from both sides.

How to change pan:

  1. Navigate to the Audio Editor and click on the three horizontal dots next to the track you want to change the pan.

  2. Select Show options.

  3. A menu will pop up on the right side. Click on Pan and adjust as needed.

💥Tips & Tricks💥

  • In interviews, panning each speaker slightly to opposite sides can make it easier for listeners to distinguish between voices.

  • In video recordings, panning can help simulate the location of sounds, like footsteps moving from left to right as someone walks across the screen.

  • By adjusting the pan setting, you can position an audio signal anywhere from the far left to the far right, with a centered position evenly split between both channels. This helps create a sense of space and direction, giving listeners the perception that sounds are coming from different directions.
