  • Where is the surround panner?

    Posted by Peter Roos on March 26, 2013 at 3:11 am

    Good evening everyone:

    I have premixed a music video in Pro Tools and now want to quickly burn a DVD so I can hear what it sounds like at my home theater system.

    However, I can’t find the surround panner in Sony Vegas. I have done this once before, and I can recall there should be a surround panner symbol next to the track.

    Not doing anything sexy like automation of effects, just trying to bounce / burn a DVD. I have Platinum 9.0 by the way (Build 92, latest upgrade).

    Many thanks!

    Peter

    Go to your toolbar above and go to View and in the drop down
    list click Surround Panner.

    Thanks Steven – you mean here (see pic)? I am probably really blind but I can’t find a drop down menu.

    You need to setup Vegas to use the surround Controls. In your screengrab, you’re at the Vegas EXPLORER Window. That would be to retrieve Media or files to include.

    This is where you find the Surround Panning Controls:

    The Main Timeline Toolbar: Project Edit View . . . .

    Click VIEW

    Select SURROUND PANNER

    Cheers

    No, that is not where i told you to click to get the drop down list.
    Go to View at the top of Vegas.
    (where you have, Project – Edit – View – Insert – Tools – Option – Help).

    In project properties, is audio set to 5.1? Audio track headers should have options for placement, if VMS PLatinum 9.0 is anything like 10 or 11.

    I don’t think I have ‘surround mixer’ in my drop down menu, and I do have the session set up for 5.1 surround. See screen pics below.

    Confused ??

    Then unfortunately for you, Vegas Movie Studio versions seems
    not to have that feature and is present in the Pro versions only.

    In VMS 11 when you insert an audio track into a 5.1 project it already has the panner. For any audio track already in the project, when you right click to the right of the fader, like where it says “front” in your (Peter’s) screen shot, you get a menu that lets you choose the role for that track — choices include the panner.

    That’s it (right click on the fader)!! Bill, you made me day!

    Somebody should put this in the manual. 😉

    I dont use the studio versions so its hard to be sure
    of what features has been cut out or repositioned in it.
