When panning with Pan Knob, a whole new world of panning is opened up to you as a mixer. Pan Knob lets you go to 120%, to give extra width when you need it. Sometimes you need to pan a little wider than 100% to either side.

You can choose which pan law is used, and choose between Balance and Pan for your stereo tracks. It has quick one button settings for the most used pan positions. It has a quick “Pan Swap” that will give you the opposite panning position with the click of a button. It doesn’t do any room simulation, so it isn’t going to mess up your mono mixdown.Īside from just sounding better, it has a few options to make it more convenient to use. One that keeps your low frequencies unpanned so that it sounds natural in headphones. Pan Knob overcomes this by having a smarter panning algorithm. Have you ever heard a mix where you have two distinct guitar tones panned to opposite sides, but one dominates the low end and makes the entire mix feel lopsided? That’s because traditional panning treats all frequencies equally, even though our ears don’t. That’s because traditional panning don’t take headphone listeners into consideration. Have you ever listened to a mix that had one instrument panned hard to one side? It sounds ok on monitors, but sounds awful on headphones. But the truth is, the way traditional pan knobs work kind of sucks for headphone listeners, and according to polls, about 87% of people listen to their music on headphones.

Yes, this plugin is a pan knob in plugin format. Why do I need a plugin for a tool that every daw has?
