12. Next, drag the Balance slider all the way to the left. As you do
so, observe that the level shown for channel 2 and channel 4
are gradually reduced. At the extreme left position, these two
channels are completely silent. Only the mid-range tone (on
channel 1) is heard (in a stereo environment), and only from
the left speaker at that.
Moving the slider to the right (of center) has the opposite
effect, reducing channels 1 and 3 – doing so without any effect
on the other 2 channels. At the extreme right position, only the
mid-range tone from the DDR file is audible (and only from the
right speaker).
The lesson here is that (unlike either Mono or Pan , considered shortly)
Balance does not ‘move’ audio from one channel to another. You cannot use Balance to ‘blend’
channel 1 with channel 2, for example. Rather, Balance regulates the levels for one pair of
channels (1 and 3, or 2 and 4) at a time, and does not affect the other pair in doing so.
Let’s consider the effect of the Mono switch next:
13. Center the Balance control once again, so that you hear the mid-tone exclusively from
the left speaker, and higher tone from the right only.
14. Click the Mono switch. Notice that now a blend of the (channel 1) mid-range tone and
(channel 2) higher tone issue from both speakers.
15. To confirm that for yourself, slide the Balance knob to the extreme left. Although sound
is now issuing only from the left speaker, you can hear both tones.
16. Click Stop in the Sound player.
Note: the Mono switch has no effect on channels 3 and 4. These two channels are never blended
with channels 1 and 2 on output.
