MixConsole
The MixConsole provides a common environment for producing mixes in stereo or surround. It allows you to control level, pan, solo/mute status, etc. for audio and MIDI channels. Furthermore, you can set up the input and output routing for multiple tracks or channels at the same time. You can undo/redo MixConsole parameter changes for an open project at any time.
MixConsole Window
You can open the MixConsole in a separate window.
Fader Section
The fader section is the heart of the MixConsole. It shows input and output channels together with audio, instrument, MIDI, group, FX, VCA fader, and ReWire channels.
Pan Control
For each audio-related channel with at least a stereo output configuration, you can find a pan control at the top of the fader section. For MIDI channels, the pan control sends out MIDI pan messages. The result depends on how your MIDI instrument is set to respond to pan.
Stereo Combined Panner
With the stereo combined panner, the left and right pan controls are linked and keep their relative distance if you move them. It is available for channels with a stereo input and output configuration.

Stereo Combined Panner

With the stereo combined panner, the left and right pan controls are linked and keep their relative distance if you move them. It is available for channels with a stereo input and output configuration.

To activate this panner, open the context menu for a pan control and select Stereo Combined Panner.
To set the pan independently for the left and right channels, hold down Alt/Opt and drag left or right.
To reverse the left and right channels, pan the left channel to the right and the right to the left.
The area between the pan controls changes the color to indicate that the channels are reversed.
To sum two channels, set them to the same pan position (mono).
Note that this increases the volume of the signal.
To specify the default stereo panner mode for new audio tracks, set the Default Stereo Panner Mode in the Preferences dialog (VST page).
