You’ve Been Doing It Wrong…HOW TO PAN (the correct way)

🚨 You've (probably) been panning WRONG and it's hurting your mix! Let me explain:
The basic Ableton, FL Studio, and Logic Pro pan knobs are not doing what you think they're doing. For example, when you "pan" a stereo sound left...the sound is NOT actually moving to the left.
Your DAW doesn't do the best job explaining this concept (and who wants to read the instruction manual, right!?)
That's why we're here to help! In this video, Zack is going to show you how the default "Pan/Balance" parameter could be hurting your mixes, and provide you with the solution for each DAW (Ableton, FL Studio, Logic Pro).
If this panning concept was new to you, drop a comment and let us know!

    ❤ and just to be clear...theres def still a use for the regular "Balance" parameter too! When you want to adjust the volume between the L&R channels in a sound that's still great. But often times it's going to produce a much different sound when trying to "place" a stereo sound in the mix. This is where that extra bit of control def comes in handy!

    This is the same issue in Logic Pro as well. I don't understand why this is the default. I figured this out like 2 years ago. My rule of thumb now is that if my track lane is Mono, then the balance pan is fine. If my track lane is Stereo, then I most likely want to use the Split Stereo Pan. Annoying to have to think about it, but this is what I do.

    So, panning internal to a synth vs. method 1 vs. method 2... all seem to have different nuances to it... Each method results in different peak amplitudes: No panning: -12.5dB 100% Left or 100% Right Internal to Synth: -8.24dB Method 1 100% L or 100% R: -9.61dB Method 2 100% L or 100% R: -6.60dB IDK if calling one method 'correct' or 'wrong' makes any sense, but it just from this it seems each method just has different nuances to it... probably a good thing to deep dive on.

    the same concept/routing does apply for groups! Would always depend on what you're goal is. If your goal is to just balance the volume of the L&R channel then the default pan is fine. If the goal is to move channels around, then yeah you'd have to switch it to "split pan" ❤️👊

    How about in ableton 9 where you can't right click and split to separate pan channels?

    I guess it applies only to your DAW. On my DAW there is no such problem with the PAN knob, it just behaves as expected.

    What kind of pan eliminates the signal when changing it? Is that your main out? Not the individual channel? (I admit, I am not paying attention much here, so I'll go home.)

    I hated this for so long. Worked wir a M4L device as a workaround. But what is the idea behind this function anyways? Also, now I have to do double the work to pan something -20 to the left for instance. Is there a way to make the one pan knob work like the other way?

    is it reallyyyy that much work doing it this way?! hahaha ❤️ 👊 In the beginning it can be awkward if you're not used to it. I feel you on that because I felt the same way at first. But those feelings fade pretty quick. You end up loving it because you get even MORE control over where a sound sits.

    @@TheCosmicAcademy I do find it irritating. It’s nice to have indeed. But I saw a video once where someone talked about useless mouse works and clicking and how much time that would cost him and I think it adds up. At least we get to pan properly. But I’m still wondering what an actual use case of that default way would be.

    I feel ya!! The balance comes in handy when you just want to adjust the volume of the left and right ear. Think of it like a sample drum loop and there’s already panning in it. If one channel is louder than the other, it can make the loop feel like it’s favoring one side of the mix. You can use the balance to level out the ears, rather than move the actual instruments around.

    Hahaha i will say this, there’s a chance…but it’s probably just one contributing factor and not “the” main issue. After doing 1-on-1s with 600+ students over the years…When a mix is off, it’s typically a combination of several things! (sound selection, dynamic shape, balance, etc)

    panning, specifically a stereo sound, is kind of an open space where the devs can do what they want. Why? real life sounds are not naturally stereo, you always have one single source where the audio waves originates from, so panning a mono sound is ways simpler, it's just about leveling left and right. How ever :) Been doing some research and small tests. Stereo is not what you think it is, which I found out by doing a completely different test, "the doppler effect", So, programattically, I setup two receivers (2 ears) and a mobile single source of sound generator moving around the space in various speeds and ways. That test made me realize, that stereo is not as much left and right levels as it is left and right delay. A simple test to verify this is to have the same mono sound in two channels, one completely panned left, the other completely panned right. Then offset one of the channels by a tiny bit (up to around 1, millisecond, or at 44.1KHz, about up to 44 samples) and you'll feel like the sound comes from the side where to sound were not offset. So what does this mean for non offset stereo sources? No solution is right basically. You can keep left when panning left and sort of mix in right, and vice versa, but that leaves other artifacts. the sound will sound more either panned or untouched (depending on the implementation). The "scientific" solution is to work with angels, but in the end you'll end up with the same issue, over amplified or underamplified.
