Click the speaker icons to mute or include channels.
Muting a channel ensures that no audio bleeds through a channel. For example, you might want to mute
all but the center channel when you’re panning dialogue to the center channel.
Tip:
+ click a speaker icon to solo the channel.
2.
Drag the pan point to position the sound within the sound field. For more information, see Moving the pan
point on page 217.

Click the center speaker icon to include the center channel and drag the Center fader to apply a gain to
the center channel.
Applying a gain to the center channel may make dialogue more present in the mix.

When automating panning using keyframes, you
cannot automate the gain applied using the
Center fader. For
more information, see Automating panning on page 218.

keyframes. The smoothness setting appears only when you are automating panning using keyframes. For
