Pan L/R: Stereo and Mono Signal Processing in Surround Projects

Stereo signal

Mono signal

Mono

Mono sum is positioned as a single mono sound source in the panorama.

The mono signal is positioned as a single mono sound source in the panorama.

X-Sym:

The left and right channels are symmetrically aligned to the x-axis. For example, this enables you to pan a stereo signal to front L (Left) / LS (Left Surround).

A second (mono) mirrored sound source of this signal is positioned in addition to the original mono source. The x-axis is the mirror axis.

Y-Sym:

The left and right channels are symmetrically aligned to the y-axis. For example, this allows you to pan a stereo signal to front L (Left) /R (Right).

A second (mono) mirrored sound source of this signal is positioned in addition to the original mono source. The y-axis is the mirror axis.

XY-Sym.:

The left and right channels are symmetrically aligned to the x- and y axis. For example, this enables you to pan a stereo signal to front L (Left) / RS (Right Surround).

In addition to the original mono source, a second mirrored sound source is positioned with this signal, mirror-symmetrically with respect to the X and Y axes.

Parallel:

The left and right channels maintain a constant distance from each other when they are moved, they are moved parallel. While dragging a sound source, hold the Ctrl key to change the distance between the sound sources.

Stereo Thru:

The same level proportions as for a mono source are applied to the different channels, depending on the position of the sound source. However, only the left signal is used for all left channels, and only the right signal for all right channels, and the mono sum for the center and LFE channels.

Identical to the mono mode.
