Set the pan law for a concert

Audio signals panned to the center position may sound louder than signals panned hard left or right. The Pan Law value determines the amount of volume reduction applied to audio that is panned to the center position. You can choose the pan law setting in the Attributes tab.

Set the pan law

  • In the Concert settings, click the Channel Strips tab, then choose one of the following pan law settings:

    • 0 dB: With no change to the volume level, signals will seem louder when panned to the center position, in comparison with extreme left or right pan positions.

    • −3 dB: A full scale signal (0 dBfs) will have a level of −3 dB when panned to the center position.

    • −3 dB compensated: A full scale signal (0 dBfs) will have a level of 0 dB when panned to the center position (or +3 dB when panned to extreme left or right positions).
