But if you have a stereo track, things are a little more complicated.

With a mono track, this simply moves the source of the sound across the stereo field. The Pan control options available by right-clicking.The most obvious tool for moving sound around in a mix is the pan pot. I’m assuming for this workshop that you have Surround Sound selected in Logic Pro’s Advanced Preferences pane, otherwise some of the options mentioned here will be unavailable.

Logic Pro has several tools available to manipulate audio in this stereo space, and a few more that should help engineers exploit the potential offered by the three‑dimensional sonic world to come. Go beyond the pan pot with Logic’s Direction Mixer.Įver since Alan Blumlein demonstrated his stereo recording techniques in the 1930s, engineers have been able to take advantage of our innate ability to locate sounds in a physical space in order to separate out sources and create movement within a mix.
