Setting a track’s pan position

The pan (short for panorama) control determines the left-to-right placement of a track in the stereo field. You can set the pan position of each track in the track mixer.

To set a track's pan position:

  1. If the track mixer is hidden, click the triangle next to the word “Tracks” at the top of the window to show the track mixer.
  2. In the track mixer, drag the track’s pan dial down to pan to the left, or drag up to pan to the right. The “dot” on the wheel indicates the pan position. Option-click the pan dial to return it to the center position.
  3. To change the pan position in finer increments, hold down the Shift key while dragging the pan dial.
