To pan a sound, edit a point by dragging it up or down. Like volume, you can add as many envelope points as
you'd like.
The image below shows a sound panned from left to right. A envelope point panned all the way to the left channel
would be at the bottom of the sound. An envelope point panned all the way to the right would be at the top of the
sound.
Pan Range
Pan can be set to values from 100% left to 100% right. For better precision while dragging envelope points, you
can resize the track.
Keyboard Modifiers
Hold the Ctrl key down to add points anywhere on the sound.
Hold the Shift key down and click down on an envelope line to move the line up or down.
Hold the Alt key down and click points to remove or delete them.
Setting Exact Volume
If the desired pan cannot be set via mouse dragging, you can set it by right clicking on the point and choosing Edit
Exact Value... This brings up a dialog box that lets you set the exact value.
Fades, Boosts and Reductions
These are shortcuts that add multiple envelope points at a time. Select an area of a sound and choose Fade In,
Fade Out, Reduce, or Boost from the Sound menu. Fades go from left to right or vice versa over time. Boosts
increase the pan to the right channel for a selected period of time. Reductions lower the pan to the left channel for
a selected period of time.
For tips on boosting or reducing, see How To Boost Or Reduce Parts Of Sounds.
For tips on creating fade ins and fade outs, see How To Add Volume And Pan Fades On Sounds.
Editing Low And High Pass Filters
In addition to changing the volume and pan of a sound over time, Mixcraft allows you to change the low pass and
high pass filter over time.
What Is A Low Pass Filter?
A
low pass filter is an audio filter that literally allows low frequencies to 'pass' while removing (or 'filtering out') high
frequencies. A low-pass filter has a cutoff value, such that every frequency below the cutoff can be heard, and
every frequency above the cutoff is reduced or removed entirely from the audio. For example, if you use a low-
pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 2000 Hz, every frequency below 2000 Hz will be heard in full, but every
frequency above 2000 Hz will be reduced or removed entirely.
The low pass filter in Mixcraft is a resonant filter. This means that in addition to the cutoff value, there is also a
value for the amount of resonance. Simply put, resonance involves emphasizing frequencies at the filter's cutoff
point. So, if we imagine a filter with a cutoff frequency of 2000 Hz and a high resonance value, what will be heard
is a sound where frequencies above 2000 Hz have been removed, frequencies below 2000 Hz remain the same,
and frequencies at and directly around 2000 Hz are louder. Resonance is a simple concept, but it can be a
dramatic effect, especially if resonance is high and the filter's cutoff frequency is changing. This effect is what's
known as a 'filter sweep'.
Every sound in Acoustica Mixcraft has its own resonant low-pass filter. These filters can be used in many ways.
You can use them as an EQ effect, reducing certain high frequencies such as acoustica guitar finger squeaks. Or,
