easier way to do mass panning in a track? -ACID Product Family

Subject:easier way to do mass panning in a track? Posted by: anon Date:6/10/2002 2:48:39 PM I usually pan my synth leads back and forth throughout the track. This can be very tedious manually setting the pan for several minutes worth of sound. If it's a lead that I am looping over and over then I just add the pan to one loop section and copy and paste; easy enough. But what about long tracks that don't loop. Is there a way to program acid to pan a certain track say for example 50%left-50% right every measure or half measure, etc... for 40 measures?

Subject:RE: easier way to do mass panning in a track? Reply by: anon Date:6/11/2002 12:49:11 PM OK, I'm confused. Cuzin- How do you program Acid's pan envelope to repeat a specific pan pattern? Also, groovewerx- What panning plug-in do you use?
Subject:RE: easier way to do mass panning in a track? Reply by: Vocalpoint Date:6/11/2002 2:45:54 PM Anon....the panning envelope works on the theory of "points" that you add to the envelope. If you have added a Pan envelope, you should see a straight kine through the track (or section) that the envelope is on. Double Click on that line to add a point. Then drag the point up or down to perform Left/Right panning. Help file has good info on it too. Cuzin B

I was just wondering if there was a way to program it to set multiple points at one time, instead of manually setting the points.

Reply by: groovewerx Date:6/12/2002 12:34:35 PM goto: http://www.thedirectxfiles.com/plugins.htm and chose from several brands. i use native vst auto-pan plugins. if you are vst enabled, i can send you the .dll. if not, there may be a vst wrapper at directx files: http://www.thedirectxfiles.com/plugins.htm
