The usual panning knobs are out of date. Simply put, Pan Knob is the best panning plugin so your mixes translate well to all playback systems. The truth is that traditional panning knobs work disgustingly for headphone users, and according to surveys, about 87% of people listen to music on headphones. Have you ever heard a mix in which one instrument greatly outweighed in one direction? This sounds good on monitors, but it sounds terrible on headphones. This is because traditional panning does not account for headphone users.
Have you ever heard a mix where you have two great guitar tones that pan to the opposite side, but one dominates its lower frequencies and makes the whole mix seem one-sided? This is because traditional panning applies equally to all frequencies, although our ears hear it.
Pan Knob overcomes this using a smarter panning algorithm and the sound will be natural in the headphones. This is not a room simulation, so it won’t ruin your mono mixing.
