I am curious about the best way to achieve stage positioning when using Pro-R.

Pro-R provides a Distance knob, but I am unsure how to achieve the most realistic left-right positioning.

* Would a simple panning do the trick?
* Would binaural panning (such as Wavearts' Panorama work better)?
* Would mono input work better than stereo input?
* Should binaural panning be done before or after Pro-R?

Hi Anton,

I would recommend to do the following:

• First of all, set the Stereo Width knob to 70%. This means that Pro-R uses a fair amount of channel cross feeding, while still respecting the positioning of the original input signal.
• Then, use the Input Pan knob (bottom bar) to position the instrument to the left or right of the stage, and the Distance knob to control the distance to the source.

@Floris What is the difference between using the input pan knob and just using the pan knob on a track in your DAW?

@Floris Still wondering what the answer might be to my above question! :)

Hi Conor,

The panner above your fader is post all plug-ins and processing. The input panner of Pro-R will pan the signal into the reverb. If you use the panner above the fader it will both pan the input and the reverb.
