Description:
Panning knob for human ear
Pana is a sophisticated stereo instrument designed for more elegant and natural sound positioning than conventional balance panning.
Panning an audio signal can be done in several ways, the most common being to change the volume on a single channel. This is a CPU-efficient (and in many cases the best) way to achieve a sense of sound positioning. This feature is built into almost every DAW and mixing console.
Another way is to add a short delay to one of the channels – the Haas method. This makes the sound richer, but can also make the sound a bit unnatural.
A more elegant way is to apply a low pass filter to one of the channels. This maintains the sound energy on both channels, but at the same time forces the sound to be positioned. This works very well with transient rich sounds such as drums or other percussion instruments.
Pana uses both delay and filtering techniques to achieve more natural positioning. This makes Pana a very versatile tool for most types of sounds, and having all of these features in one plug-in ensures excellent mixing quality. To top it all off, there’s also a crossover filter that allows you to leave the low frequencies completely untouched, allowing the bass to remain fully centered to prevent the mix from tipping over to one side.
