No Surround Sound

I'm trying to have a sound effect of a sheep that I've placed on the Voice Track come from a left rear speaker using surround sound. I'm editing with Pro X2, but am unable to control the "mike' icon placement. I click it and drag it to the appropriated speaker, but it does not remember my command. What's up?

I think you need to be in Project mode when placing the icon in the various places. When you do move the icon in the Surround Sound display, it should place a node on the audio line.

Thanks, Ron

I think I see the "nodes" (little small boxes) , and that seems to help. Now, my effect starts in the desired speaker and then drifts back to center. I can't seem to controll it and make it stay in one place.

Go to the end of your audio segment and repeat the above. Then it should remain there.

Ahh! That did it, Ron!

I also found that I had an erroneous nodule (little white box) that kicked the icon back to center. I was able to remove it by dragging it up out of the Voice track time line.

Thanks, Dave
