Panning and balancing audio in Premiere Pro is a simple process. The Audio Track Mixer provides controls for panning and balancing mono, stereo, and 5.1 surround tracks. When working with mono or stereo tracks, a round knob appears, allowing you to rotate and adjust the left and right output track channels. For 5.1 surround tracks, a square tray is used to slide and adjust the audio among the five speakers. Premiere Pro also allows for the creation of submix tracks, which can then be output to a Master Track. Balancing involves sending different percentages of signals from a monaural audio track to the left and right channels of a stereo submix track. With these tools, you can easily manipulate audio to match your creative vision.

What You'll Learn
Using the Audio Track Mixer
Panning audio in Premiere Pro allows you to control the distribution of sound across the left and right channels of your audio track. This can be particularly useful when you want to create a sense of movement or directionality in your audio or focus the listener's attention on a specific element.
The Audio Track Mixer provides controls for panning and balancing. When a mono or stereo track outputs to a stereo track, a round knob appears; rotating this knob pans or balances audio between the left and right output track channels. A Left/Right Pan dial appears in a track only when you select a stereo track as the output.
If you want the sound to start in the left channel and move to the right, you can place a keyframe at the beginning of the track, drag it upwards (towards the left channel), then place another keyframe where you want the sound to shift to the right channel and drag it downwards. The flexibility of this technique allows you to adjust the length and intensity of the transition between channels by moving and manipulating the keyframes.
You can also create submix tracks and output audio from any track to these submix tracks. Different tracks in the same sequence can have different numbers of channels. For example, you can send 80% of the signal from a monaural audio track to the left channel of a stereo submix track and 20% to the right channel.
If you want to pan individual audio files left or right, you can do so in the Audio Track Mixer, but this will not affect the audio levels. However, if you pan the track mixer and individual clips in opposite directions, the sound volume will diminish until it completely disappears.

Panning mono or stereo tracks
When working with mono tracks, the Audio Track Mixer will display a round knob that can be rotated to pan or balance the audio between the left and right output channels. This allows you to send a certain percentage of the signal to one channel while sending the remaining percentage to the other. For example, you can send 80% of the signal to the left channel and 20% to the right channel.
If you are outputting a mono track to two tracks, whether stereo or a multichannel output, panning to the extreme left will set the output to the odd-numbered track, while panning to the extreme right will set the output to the right audio track.
When dealing with stereo tracks, the Audio Track Mixer offers Left/Right Pan dials that allow you to balance the audio between the left and right channels. These dials only appear when you select a stereo output for the track.
Additionally, Premiere Pro allows for track mixing. You can output audio from any track to a submix track and then output the submix track to a Master Track. This provides flexibility in managing the audio channels and their outputs.

Balancing audio with Left/Right Pan dials
Panning and balancing audio in Premiere Pro allows you to control the distribution of audio between left and right stereo speakers. This is done using the Audio Mixer or Audio Track Mixer, which provides controls for panning and balancing.
When working with a monophonic (mono) audio clip, the blue pan control line in the Audio Track Mixer indicates how the audio is distributed between the left and right speakers. By default, the pan control appears in the middle of the clip, with the audio equally distributed between the two speakers. To pan the audio to the left or right speaker, simply drag the control handle accordingly.
For stereophonic (stereo) clips, the process is similar, but it is referred to as balancing. You can adjust the balance of the audio between the left and right speakers by using the Left/Right Pan dials in the Audio Track Mixer. These dials appear when you select a stereo track as the output. For example, you can send 80% of the signal to the left channel and 20% to the right channel.
Additionally, Premiere Pro allows you to create submix tracks and output audio from any track to these submix tracks before outputting them to the Master Track. This gives you greater flexibility in adjusting the audio levels and distribution.
When working with 5.1 surround tracks, the Audio Track Mixer displays a square tray with a puck that you can slide to pan or balance audio among the five speakers. The tray also includes controls for adjusting the center channel percentage and subwoofer volume.

Sending audio to submix tracks
A submix track in Premiere Pro combines audio signals from specific audio tracks into a single mixed track. This is useful if you want to apply identical audio and effect settings to multiple tracks. For example, you can send recorded clips from the same musical instrument to one submix so they can be edited as a group.
There are a few ways to create submix tracks in Premiere Pro. One way is to right-click the TRACK HEADER, then select 'ADD AUDIO SUBMIX TRACK' from the context menu. Alternatively, you can click the SEQUENCE MENU in the top menu bar, select ADD TRACKS, and enter the number of submix tracks in the 'AUDIO SUBMIX TRACK' section of the pop-out menu. You can also click the WINDOWS menu, select AUDIO TRACK MIXER, and then click the small arrow button to access the EFFECTS menu, where you can choose to create a MONO, STEREO, or 5.1 SURROUND submix track.
Once your submix has been created, you can route or send the desired audio tracks to it. You can also adjust the signal output dial for each track to determine how much of a track's signal is sent to the submix. This allows you to highlight certain sounds in the final audio track. You can then apply effects to the submix, such as noise reduction, which can be applied to an entire track or tracks of clips.
After you are satisfied with the effects applied to your submixes, you can route them to the master track to generate the final audio output.

Panning 5.1 surround tracks
Panning audio in Premiere Pro allows you to move audio from one output channel to another over time. When working with 5.1 surround tracks, you can use the Audio Track Mixer to pan or balance audio among the five speakers. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Open your project in Premiere Pro and locate the 5.1 surround audio track you want to edit in your timeline.
- Access the panning controls by right-clicking on the audio track, selecting 'Show Clip Keyframes', and then choosing 'Panner' and 'Balance'. This switches the control from volume to panning.
- In the Audio Track Mixer, you will see a square tray with a puck when working with a 5.1 surround track. This tray represents the two-dimensional audio field created by 5.1 surround audio.
- Slide the puck within the tray to pan or balance the audio among the five speakers. The speakers are represented by pockets around the edge of the tray.
- You can also adjust the 5.1 surround audio track's centre channel percentage and subwoofer volume using the controls in the tray.
- Experiment with panning to create dynamic and immersive experiences for your viewers, reinforcing visual cues that suggest movement or direction.
It's important to note that panning and balancing are not available for a 5.1 surround track when it outputs to a submix or master track with the same number of channels or fewer. Additionally, Premiere Pro automatically assigns channels to a multichannel Master track, but you can change these assignments by clicking the Direct Output Assignment button in the Audio Track Mixer.
