Pan audio signals between left and right channels with precise control and auto-sweep.
Audio panning distributes an audio signal across the stereo field. Hard left (-100%) plays only from the left speaker, hard right (+100%) only from the right speaker. Center (0%) outputs equally from both channels.
Audio panning distributes an audio signal across the stereo field. Hard left (-100%) plays only from the left speaker, hard right (+100%) only from the right. Center (0%) outputs equally from both channels. Panning is a fundamental technique in audio mixing for placing sounds in the stereo image.
Yes. This tool provides automatic pan sweep functionality with customizable: direction (left-to-right, right-to-left, ping-pong), sweep duration (time for one complete movement), and looping. Auto-pan creates interesting stereo effects, making audio sound richer and more dynamic.
No. All processing is done locally in your browser using the Web Audio API StereoPannerNode. Audio data never leaves your device.
When you pan fully to one side, the other channel does go silent. At center position, the perceived volume may be slightly lower than hard-panned (depending on the panning law). This is normal as energy is distributed across two channels. This tool uses the equal-power panning algorithm for consistent perceived loudness.
Audio panning is useful for: 1) Creating stereo width from mono recordings; 2) Music mixing (placing instruments across the stereo field); 3) Video dubbing (voice in center, music on sides); 4) Podcast/broadcast channel balance correction; 5) Audio restoration for unbalanced stereo recordings.
