Mixer Basics Quick Guide 4 Drag the pan controls on the top of the channel strips left and right to set the stereo position of each track. 6 Double-click the left locator (starting point) and right locator (ending point) of the Transport panel. Change each highlighted number, and then specify the position of the locator. Bar Pan Effectively "Panning" creates the illusion of stereo space by changing the relative levels of each track's signal sent to the left and right speakers. If a signal is sent only to the left speaker, the sound will appear to come from the far left side of the stereo sound field. If it sent with equal level to both left and right speakers our ears tell us the sound is located in the center of the stage. Judicious panning can also help to create cleanersounding mixes by spreading the instruments out across the sound stage so that they don't "get in each other's way." There are no hard and fast rules, but the bass and kick drum are usually placed in the center of the mix, as is the lead instrument or vocal. Other instruments should be evenly balanced throughout the sound stage in a well-balanced manner. 5 At this point you can begin to use EQ to refine your mix, and add effects. As an example let's try adding reverb. Click the [Edit] button ( ) on the left side of the channel strip to open the VST audio channel settings window. Click Inserts 1 and select "Reverb - RoomWorks SE". 7 When the final mix adjustments have been made, go to the [File] menu and select [Export] → [Audio Mixdown]. 8 Enter a file name and select a destination for the file as well as a file type. If you intend to use the file to create an audio CD, select the WAV file type (AIFF on Mac OS X), 16 bit, and 44.1 kHz. 9 Click [Export]. Progress of the mixdown operation will be shown in a progress window. When the progress window closes the mixdown is complete. NOTE Audio files created by mixdown can be directly played back using the Windows Media Player, or iTunes on a Mac computer. NOTE For further details refer to the pdf manual provided with the Cubase AI software. CAUTION It's a good idea to lower the channel fader a bit before adding an effect, since the effect can cause an increase in the overall channel level. 14 MW8CX/MW10C Owner's Manual
