This is the first in a 2 part video on the surround panner available in Pro Tools Ultimate. In this free video tutorial Avid Certified Instructor Paul Maunder takes us through the X/Y and 3 Knob panning modes in Pro Tools Ultimate.

The purpose of these video tutorials is not to describe the process or workflows of surround mixing but to give an overview of the Pro Tools surround panner itself and all of its controls.
