Surround panner
In 5.1 surround projects, the surround panner allows you to view and edit surround panning settings for a track. Double-click a
surround panner to view the Surround Panner window and make fine panning adjustments.
Volume fader
This dedicated volume fader controls how loud a track is in the mix. A value of 0 dB means that the track plays with no boost or cut from
the software. Dragging the fader to the left cuts the volume; dragging to the right boosts the volume. For more information, see
Adjusting the mix on page 41.
Pan slider
This dedicated pan slider controls the position of a track in the stereo field. Dragging the slider to the left places the track in the left
speaker more than the right, while dragging the slider to the right places the track in the right speaker.
You can choose among five panning types to determine how a track is panned. For more information, see Choosing stereo pan types on
page 113.
Multipurpose slider
This multipurpose slider allows you to control the following:
The level of the track’s signal being routed to each of the project’s busses.
The level of the track’s signal being routed to an assignable effect control.
Each track’s slider position is independent from the others; however, you can move sliders simultaneously by selecting multiple tracks
before making your adjustment. If you do not see this slider, expand the track.
For MIDI tracks, four multipurpose sliders are displayed to allow you to adjust MIDI controller data. For more information, see Controller
automation on page 202.
You may choose what the slider controls by clicking the slider label. Changing the slider type for one track changes it for all tracks so you
can compare levels of the same control across the project. For more information, see Adjusting the mix on page 41.
Paint Clip Selector button
Clicking the Paint Clip Selector button displays all the clips available for the track, allows the user to add clips, and opens the Clip
Pool.
The Paint Clip Selector button shows the clip type icons.
For more information, see Understanding clip types on page 34.
