Really basic wavearts panorama question . . .

[bobby yarrow]

I read (quickly) thru the manual, and the answer didn't jump out at me. Is the idea that one is going to run an instance of panorama as in insert on every single track? Or, do you set up location-based instances -- front center, front back, left center, left back, etc -- and send that way? Or what?

Thanks.

You insert Panorama on the track(s) you want to "spatialize", or the master bus if you want to process the whole mix.

Thanks. I downloaded the demo, and realized I was wrong about what the software does. I had the notion that it would work in lieu of panning -- that inserted on each mono track one could position the track that way. That didn't seem to work, Panorama seemed to take the pan position of the track into account, and I couldn't get an ordinary pan out of a center-panned mono source.

I did hear the spatialization, and reverb, of course. So I guess that's the idea -- a sort of 3D stereo enhancer with reverb, rather than a substitute for ordinary panning.

Will play with the demo some more. The effects I got rolling thru the presets were very dramatic, will need to explore more subtle application.

Thanks for the generous demo time. Look forward to digging in a bit deeper.

Actually I've used Panorama in lieu of track panning... there's more going on (not just gain in each channel but HRTF and other postional cue processing) so it won't sound exactly like moving a track's pan control, but you'll get some nice left/right positional stuff going on. To make it the most like regular panning try disabling the Reflection and Reverb sections.
