Mixer : Panning Control Group Buses
10 - 232
Panning Control Group Buses
This Bus allows for controlling panning information in 1D (Left/Right), 2D (Surround) or 3D (Full
Space).
The Panning Control Bus does not process audio and has no Channels, no associated Output Strip and no I/O. Any
General Mix Bus / Mix Group / Aux Bus / Aux Group uses the information generated by a Panning Control Bus to
pan sound sent to their respective channels.
The same Panning Control Bus can pan sound for any channel mapping of any General Mix Bus. I.e. the panning
parameters of an input strip can control for example, the sends to a 9.1 Mixing Bus, a 5.1Mix Group and a Stereo
Aux Group simultaneously.
Generally, only one Panning Control Bus is required for all Mixing Buses, however multiple Panning Control Buses
can be created if different panning information is required for an Strip to different Mixing Buses. (Right-click con-
