I always wondered why did Steinberg take away the Dual-Panner option in Cubase, leaving only the Combined Panner?
I really don´t like the combined panner workflow (or there is some trick that I´m missing), and would like to have the two separate panners for stereo tracks.
Today, I use a stereochannel free plugin for most of my work, but the question is:
BTW… a tip: It’s possible to change the default behaviour of the panner setting in preferences.
To specify the default stereo panner mode for new audio tracks, select File > Preferences > VST
I for myself use both panner and I like it how it is. I don´t need the old Dual panner (C5 times) as an extra option.
It´s great that I can adjust both sides in one go. A good and fast workflow.
basically as i remember dual panner and combined panner do the same “job” !
need to be used to the combiend panner at first’ but it has its own tricks" like cntrl+alt and drag the panner to adjust L+R the in same values etc…
If you prefer to have separate pan level controls in some cases…
I can recommend the Cubase onstock plugin “Mix6to2”, which is also easy to automate and has separate phase flips etc. - great plugin!
Hi Guys, thanks so much and sorry for the delay to reply. I was not getting notifications from the forum.
For me, the Dual Panner is much better, I like the separate control of each input signal as opposed to “fighting” to find the right position with the combined panner. And it´s always kind of hard to get only one of the sides, when you restrict the opening to anything less than 100% you always take one side out of place when you want to adjust the other… it’s just me, though, I just don’t see the reason to remove that option from Cubase. It was very good in my point of view.
The Mix 6to2 option is awesome, I had never explored that one and will def give it a shot!
