Panning as channels:
If your rack mount only has only 2 or 4 outputs inside the rack unit u can adjust the panning per effects box like a
8 voice multi chorus has 8 voices with 8 panning parameters but there is only 2 output jacks or 4 output jacks how are u
going to get those 8 voices out of 2 outputs jacks. If u pan inside the rack unit its creates a "pseudo" 8 outputs because the
panning positions are acting like channels or tracks
1.) chorus voice#1 panned at 8 clock
2.) chorus voice#2 panned at 3 clock
3.) chorus voice#3 panned at 10 clock
4.) chorus voice#4 panned at 5 clock
5.) chorus voice#5 panned at 2 clock
6.) chorus voice#6 panned at 6 clock
7.) chorus voice#7 panned at 9 clock
8.) chorus voice#8 panned at 12 clock
If your portable live record only has 2 two tracks because its small and portable to record a live band how can u get seperate
tracks? Put all the mics in a mixing board and adjust the panning knobs parameter like this
1.) guitar at 10 o clock
2.) bass at 2 o clock
3.) keyboards in stereo at 9 o clock and 3 o clock
4.) your vocals in stereo at 11 o clock and 1 o clock
5.) drums in the center at 12 o clock
See how the panning positions created more tracks/channels superimposed ontop of two tracks
Or u can do this set the mixing board like this before the 2 track recorder
1.) guitar at 7 o clock
2.) bass at 7 o clock
3.) keyboards in stereo at 7 o clock and 7 o clock
**4.) your vocals in stereo at *5* o clock and 5 o clock
5.) drums in the center at 7 o clock
This puts all your live band background mics and instruments on the Right channel and the Vocals on the Left channel
by using panning
Threshold panning:
Pan rotation values
Lets say u want your guitar at 10 o clock and your bass at 2 o clock , keyboards in stereo at 9 o clock and 3 o clock
your vocals in stereo at 11 o clock and 1 o clock and the drums in the center at 12 o clock
All these panning positions are going to bleed into one another to isolate them more u need a threshold panning rotation gates so when the threshold is above a panning rotation is turns ON but when its below a panning rotation it turns OFF
so they don't bleed into one another keep them more discrete
example:
Threshold panning position is "above" 2 o clock or "below" 2 o clock it will shut off the bass
Threshold panning position is "above" 10 o clock or "below" 10 o clock it will shut off the guitar
Threshold panning position range of is "above" 11 o clock or "below" 1 o clock it will shut off the vocals
Threshold panning position range of is "above" 9 o clock or "below" 3 o clock it will shut off the keyboards
Its a Either OR gate controlling the panning positions per track. Trying to "block" the adjacent sides or adjacent tracks
next to it.
Synthesis panning or encoding panning multiplexing to block and isolate each panning position from another so each tracks
panning doesn't bleeding into each other its discrete isolated like a recording booth
funny though.
