Panning Tracks in Pro Tools

Next time we'll talk about panning, panning is basically the position in the stereo image, like with this I can actually sample, I can actually solo this track right here, the drums, and I could change the panning. I don't know if you can hear it, but I could move it over to the right side, to the left side. And this basically is the position of where the sound is coming out of in the speaker. I moved everything to the right side, and this is basically just showing the different - I mean there's no right or wrong place to pan things. You can pan it anywhere you really want to and it's pretty easy when it comes to Pro Tools. Since these are stereo tracks you can pan to the left and the right. If you had a mono track you could only pan this one direction but - you can also automate the panning by clicking this little button right here and then you can change the panning in the left and right so that when it switches, when it goes past this point, you're going to see that the panning is going to move a little bit. And now it's going to sound just a little bit different than it did before. You could also do this with any of the other tracks and with any instrument.
