Add surround sound panning and encoding to your Adobe Audition! After installing the PanHandler, you'll be able to precisely control the positioning and movement of the sound elements in any of your audio tracks. Give your video, film, and multimedia titles the professional touch you've been looking for. Gunshots, airplanes, missiles, automobiles, animals, all heard in motion with astonishing clarity and realism. Place background sounds like running water or insects in the rear channel to really give your audience the feeling of being there.

Bring your project's soundtrack to life with the same surround sound encoding used in theaters and home theater systems. Fly-bys, precise stereo imaging and mix automation are as easy as dragging your "pan point" from one side of the PanHandler's window to another! Once you have produced a stereo soundtrack encoded for surround sound with the PanHandler, it can be accurately played back with any surround sound decoder or receiver. If played back with normal stereo equipment, the soundtrack will still have a wider sound with excellent imaging.

Dolby matrix encoding is used to convey four channels (Left, Centre, Right and Surround, or LCRS) over a two-channel (STEREO) medium. In order to actually hear the intended effect you should be monitoring through a Dolby Pro Logic receiver. The plug-ins can be used on STEREO sound files within a STEREO mix. This mix can then be played back on a Dolby Pro Logic Receiver. These plug-ins are not for 5.1 surround sound

These plug-ins are not meant to use on the entire mix, but rather on individual sounds, ie. flyby sound effects, or a car coming from the rear to front for example. Film sound tracks (and some television ones) go beyond just Left-Right Stereo; there is a Center Channel for the dialogue, and one "Surround Sound" channel but most decoders have two surround speakers. The Surround channel is used to project the sound out into the theater, to "surround" the audience. This is to enhance the illusion of being "in the picture". The PanHandler is an exciting new tool for real-time surround sound panning and encoding. It allows the production of multi-dimensional sound tracks for multimedia, video, video games, television, radio ad spots, and many other applications. The newest addition to the FX plug-in line for the SAW32 environment. This plug-in requires DirectXMedia 7.0 or later to operate correctly.
