Adjust levels, panning and stereo width

1. Mix the stem first.
2. Drag the level slider under its name for a small balance change.
3. Listen in the whole mix and wait for All changes saved.
4. Master again when you want the new balance in a WAV.

In FX, Automatic mix gain is the engine's contribution; Channel level is your extra adjustment. The incoming recording level is not a requirement to pre-mix every stem by hand.

1. Open FX for a mixed track.
2. Find Pan · L / R in the channel balance section.
3. Move left for the left side, right for the right side, or center for an even placement.
4. Use Automatic placement · preserve stereo stems to return to the engine's placement.

Clear Left/Right filename tokens guide the initial placement. Manually setting pan takes control of that setting; it is not another automatic-mixing request.

Open the Stereo field module in FX. 1× is the normal width setting, 0× collapses stereo difference toward mono, and settings above 1× increase stereo spread.

Width is not the same as pan. Pan moves a part across the stereo field; width changes its spread. A mono recording does not contain the same stereo information as a real stereo recording. Make measured changes and check that important parts remain clear when heard in mono.

Expand Track setup & profile and choose Musical role: Lead / foreground, Normal, or Support / background.

Use foreground for an intended lead and support for a background part. A role change asks the session to rebalance; wait for that balancing to finish. Avoid labeling every part as foreground, which removes the useful distinction.
