A little constructive criticism is in order no? Not ungreatful for all the awesome work everyone is doing. BUT all this crazy (yet super simple) panning… IDK… no real use in getting awesome sounds? beats manual panning automations? IDK… seems we need instead virtual surround (like back in creative EAX days),

and other PSYCHO ACOUSTIC type pannings with filters and reverbs (when audio is panned ultra wide, a little band passing and reverb is applied)

and micro delayed “shadows” (can make sound REALLY 3d!)

and dopplers, and loudness dependant width (for awesome width, lower volume to be wider and higher volume to be narrower) and combinations of all of these…

manually automating panning replaces today’s plugin easily, and simplifies workflow (since you have tons of automations anyway) but a plugin that can provide these advanced type of panning i have described, will be a serious upgrade to other panners. No?

In reply to mx. panning with volume vs panning with time delay or combination of both is also part of that topic actually.

In reply to mx. @jimmy: maybe a good starting point would be to understand what panning and stereo is technically (technical backgrounds like pan law, panning/balancing, mono/stereo, mid/side and all that stuff) and when and why you want to pan something. after you got that you will see yourself why you would prefer one of the two mentioned plugins for certain cases, or when to use automation in your daw for panning.

TOMISLAV,
I’ve searched about Tonelib, found only one note here on BPB in 2019 about Tonelib GFX, which ceased to be freeware in the same year.

However, on May 15, 2022, ToneLib TubeWarmth and ToneLib BassDrive were discovered on the site. These are freeware! :)

what these two plugins have in common is that they are both for panning but they are totally different tools.
energy panner is controlled by the amplitude of the signal, this here is basically a sequencer for panning.
i dont understand why you would compare them directly,

A great addition to sit alongside Filterstep and Gatelab for sound mangling :-)

Reminds me of Cableguys’ PanCake 2. Nice plugin.
