Adjust a channel's gain, pan and delay

Use gain to set the input level, pan to send the sound left or right, and delay to line the sound up with the picture.

Step by step

  1. On the channel strip, click FX.
  2. Turn Gain, Pan or Delay.
  3. The sound changes right away, even on air.

Gain

Gain is the signal volume before everything else, before the EQ and the fader. It goes from −24 to +24 dB. Use it to bring a weak microphone up to the same level as the others.

Pan

Pan sends the sound more to the left (L) or right (R). In the middle it reads center. In the Advanced mixer, it appears on the Pan row: drag on the bar and double-click to go back to center.

Delay

Delay holds the sound back a few milliseconds, from 0 to 900 ms. Use it when the person's lips move after the sound, for example with a camera that arrives late. Delay is available on the inputs and on the Master.

How to turn the knobs

  • Drag up or down. With the Shift key, the adjustment is finer.
  • The mouse wheel also turns them.
  • Double-click to go back to the default value.

To undo everything at once, click Reset processing, at the top of the window.
