Adjust panning for sends independently in Logic Pro

Sometimes you may want to adjust the stereo pan that a send is routing to an aux separately from the panning of the channel strip. For example, you may want a stereo channel strip to send to a surround aux, or you may be using sends to create a headphone mix and want separate pan positions for the headphone mix as for the main mix. By choosing Independent Pan for a send, you can adjust the pan type and position settings for the send independently from the pan type and position for the channel strip.

After you choose Independent Pan for a send, you can adjust the send’s panning by setting the send to Sends on Faders mode. In this mode, the fader controls the volume to the send, and the pan knob controls the pan type and position to the send. To learn more about panning and balance, see Set channel strip pan or balance positions.

Set Independent Pan mode for a send

  • In a Logic Pro channel strip, from the Send pop-up menu, choose Independent Pan.

You can copy pan settings from a channel strip directly to a send using the Copy Pan to Send command. Using this command, you can quickly set the panning for a send without having to first enter Sends on Faders mode and make adjustments.
