To Change The Angle - CAKEWALK SONAR User Manual

:
• Focus—this is the perceived distance of the sound source from the center of the circle on a
scale of 0 to 100, 0 meaning the center of the circle, and 100 meaning the perimeter.
• Width markers—these are two smaller spheres equidistant from the Angle and Focus marker.
Their distance from each other and from the front of the circle shows the Width value (see
definition below). You can also drag the Width markers to control Angle and Focus.
• Speaker icons/squares—each surround channel is represented by a speaker icon in the large
panner, and a white square in the small panner. The large panner also has a corresponding volume
level in dB directly in front of each icon. The position of each speaker icon shows you each speaker's
position in the surround mix. Clicking a speaker icon or square mutes the corresponding channel,
causing the icon or square to become grey. Double-clicking the icon solos its channel, turning the
icon green.
• Angle slider (large panner only)—this slider both displays and controls the angle value.
• Focus slider (large panner only)—this slider both displays and controls the focus value.
• Width slider (large panner only)—this slider both displays and controls the width value. Width is
a measure of how wide an area the sound seems to be coming from on a scale of 0 to 360 degrees. At
0 and 360 degrees, the sound seems to all come from a single speaker. At 180 degrees the sound
seems to come from directly opposite sides. The default angle matches the project's left and right
channel angle. For example, in 5.1 SMPTE/ITU surround, the default width is 60 degrees.
• Front/Rear Balance slider (large panner only)—abbreviated as FrntRrBl, this slider adjusts the
front and rear balance. Drag it to the left to reduce the level from the front speakers, or drag it to
the right to reduce rear level.
• LFE slider—this slider both displays and controls the level of sound sent to the LFE channel.
• LFE Only button (large panner only)—this button mutes all channels except the LFE channel.
