Pan Modes

The power of the sum of the channels drops by about 3 dB if a signal is panned hard left or right, compared to the same signal being panned center. This can be compensated with pan modes.

Experiment with the modes to hear which fits best. The pan modes can be set for tracks, clips, and the montage output.

• To set the pan modes for clips, use the Pan Law pop-up menu in the Envelope tab, or use the Pan Law pop-up menu and knob in the Inspector window.

• To set the pan modes for tracks and the montage output, use the Pan Law pop-up menu and knob in the Inspector window.

The following pan modes are available:

Channel Damp (0 dB/Mute)

This mode does not compensate for power loss. If a signal is panned hard left or right, the power of the sum of the channels drops by 3 dB.

Constant Power (+3 dB/Mute)

This is the default mode. Regardless of the pan position, the power of the sum of the channels remains constant.

Channel Boost (+4.5 dB/Mute)

If this mode is selected and a signal is panned hard left or right, the power of the sum of the channels is higher than with a signal-panned center.

Channel Boost (+6 dB/Mute)

If this mode is selected and a signal is panned hard left or right, the power of the sum of the channels is higher than with a signal-panned center. This is the same as the previous option, but with even greater power boost.
