Kind Of Loud Smart Pan Pro (Mac Pro Tools)
Surround sound mixing is now a day-to-day reality at many audio and post-production facilities. The SmartPan Pro TDM Plug-In brings true discrete 5.1 surround sound mixing to the Pro Tools environment. It allows Pro Tools to generate six-channel surround mixes by allocating three stereo channels to serve as a virtual output bus. SmartPan Pro is the first TDM Plug-In to support panning and previewing of a full six-channel surround sound mix - completely within the Pro Tools environment. If you're working in Pro Tools and you need to create mixes for Dolby Digital, DTS, DVD Audio or other surround formats including 7.1 and LCRS, SmartPan Pro is a must-have.
SmartPan's panning paradigm is the only Pro Tools solution that accurately conveys the psychoacoustics of surround sound panning. To accomplish this, SmartPan Pro offers two options for positioning sound elements. For those accustomed to a traditional joystick controller for multi-channel sound, a visual representation of joystick sound placement is provided. A mouse-controlled puck indicates the position of audio in the soundfield; as the puck is moved, the changing soundfield parameters and channel gains are displayed. In addition, our unique SmartKnob allows you to not only pan sound among speakers, but also lets you intuitively and accurately adjust the width, or spatial extent, of the sound. Either SmartPan panning interface provides precise control over the direction, spatial extent and placement of your audio.
Professional surround sound mixers will appreciate SmartPan Pro's divergence control, which adjusts the L/C/R panning law. Sub-woofer/LFE management features are also standard, including adjustable filtering and independent level control. For complex effects, multiple Pro Tools tracks may be linked and panned as a group. All SmartPan Pro functions may be automated.
SmartPan Pro is the only TDM Plug-In to provide a complete set of the tools required to create a professional six-channel surround sound mix. Whether you're creating 5.1 mixes for video, DVD mastering, or games, you'll find SmartPan Pro indispensable. And, once you've heard surround sound from your Pro Tools system, you'll be hooked. It's serious fun.
