Panning

[mee]

Let's say that for a particular voice part (using SC with WB, in Sonar) one wants to pan that part all the way to the left....

One can pan the track all the way to the left in Sonar. But that doesn't seem to affect playback with SC.

How does one do this--set a track going through a multi WB voice to pan at a particular position?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Pan the whole Symphonic Choirs VST in Sonar to the position you like instead of automating the MIDI track. Does that help?

I just tried this again, and still cannot get a track to pan to one side. I tried three ways--1)panning the MIDI track, 2)panning the synth output track (which I think is what you suggested), and tried the Pan control within the Kompakt player. In fact, I tried all three together, all panned hard right, but that wasn't reflected in the sound, it all came through roughly the center.

I know the voices in EWQLSC are pre-panned to their actual places in the choir, which is a nice feature, but some times one might need to have a part panned to a specific location, not the same as where that voice occurs naturally.

THere must be a way to do that, but I haven't yet figured it out. As mentioned, even when I tried all 3 methods above set to pan all the way to the right, the sound came from the center.

How does one do this?

Thank you.

Well, I suppose one work around would be to pan it after you render it to audio.

Hello,

Panning the synth output track should work... It happens after the plugin has produced all sound and sent it to the sequencer. The sequencer then does this in its own mixing stage. Are you able to pan other tracks normally?

With choirs, I wouldn't recommend doing any MIDI-based panning at all.

Can you send a screenshot of the controls you're changing?

As said, I tried that (panning the synth output track), and it didn't work. Have you actually tried it?

You recommend against panning the MIDI track (which I referred to as #1), and recommended what I referred to as #2 (panning the synth output track in the sequencer), but didn't comment on #3, the actual panning control on the SC-Kompakt synth properties page. Should that work as well? (As said, none of the three methods worked for me, not even all three together.)

Has anyone reading been able to successfully pan SC wordbuilder voices to a specific pan location, different from the voice's default pan location? If so, how did you do it?
