You can route any audio montage channel of a track to a surround channel or to a combination of surround channels using the Track Channel Dispatching dialog. However, if you also want to position a track freely in the surround image, you can use the Surround Panner.
Prerequisite
In this example, it is assumed that you have set up an audio montage in 5.1 surround
format and that you want to use the surround panner for a stereo track.
Procedure
In the Audio Montage window, right-click in the track control area for the audio track that you want to use for surround panning and select Routing > Track Channel Dispatching.
In the Track Channel Dispatching dialog, activate the
surround channels.
You can activate different surround channel combinations for the top (left)
and bottom (right) audio channels.
Click OK.
A Surround Panner display opens in the track control area.
Click and drag in the surround panner display to make coarse adjustments.
For a more precise control of the imaging, right-click the surround panner
display to open the Surround Panner dialog.
In the Surround Panner dialog, click the blue square and
move the mouse.
This pans the audio of the top channel. The other channel is automatically
mirrored horizontally. Right-click the display to choose from a number of
positioning presets.
To view and edit the other channel, click the gray square.
The gray square turns to red, and red speaker lines indicate the speaker
levels.
When you have finished your settings, click Close.
