The way your footage was recorded in the field and was captured with the Avid application affects the way sound pans between the speakers. By default, the system pans audio tracks 1 and 3 to the left speaker output and pans audio tracks 2 and 4 to the right speaker output.

You can set global pan settings before or during editing using the Audio Settings window and by selecting All Tracks Centered. The Audio Settings window also provides options for adjusting the default audio pan when editing with new clips, and for adjusting digital audio scrub parameters for monitoring and analyzing audio tracks and transitions.

For information on using the Audio Mix tool to adjust pan for individual clips in a sequence, see Using the Audio Mix Tool.

By default, the audio tracks for clips alternate with track 1 on the left speaker and track 2 on the right speaker for monitoring and output. The option All Tracks Centered instructs the system to center the pan of all tracks between the two speakers for monitoring and output.

For information about adjusting audio scrub parameters, see Adjusting Digital Scrub Parameters.
