&daTextBox=<font size="11" face="arial" color="#000000">A console with film-style panning will allow the greatest flexibility in placing sounds. Console automation will help create complex mixes and precise pans.
Older traditional mixing consoles with a stereo two-channel mix-down bus and four auxiliary busses can also be used. The first six outputs of the mixer will be Left, Right, Center, LFE, Left Surround, and Right Surround, respectively. Assign input track 1 to bus 1-2. Assign bus 1 and 2 to outputs 1 and 3. The panner on input track 1 will now pan between Left and Center. Repeat this process until all outputs are configured. This is a functional, yet clumsy solution that we don't recommend.
Below are some popular examples of consoles with film-style panning. The mixing consoles marked with a (*) have been donated to the Dolby Game Developer Support Team and have been used extensively by our labs.
