Move audio between the left and right speakers with a smooth adjustable pan cycle. A sine-wave oscillator controls equal-power stereo panning. Rate sets cycles per second; depth sets the left-to-right travel.

Turn frequency into movement

Pan rate is measured in cycles per second. A setting of 0.25 Hz completes one left-right-left journey every four seconds; 1 Hz completes that journey every second.

Set travel distance

Depth controls how far the sound moves away from center. Start around 30% for gentle motion, then increase toward 100% when a deliberately dramatic headphone sweep is wanted.

Follow a musical subdivision

For a 120 BPM song, one beat lasts half a second. A two-second pan cycle spans four beats; choose 0.5 Hz manually if that movement suits the phrase.

Render repeating automation

The oscillator is included in the downloaded audio, so the movement remains when played elsewhere. Unlike a manually moved balance knob, it repeats consistently through the rendered track.

Auto Panner FAQs

Auto Panner decodes and processes the selected audio in your browser. File contents are not sent to an audio-processing server; page analytics are described in the site privacy policy.
Auto Panner saves 16-bit PCM WAV. MP3, WAV and other browser-supported inputs are decoded first; WAV output cannot restore detail lost in a compressed source.
Open Auto Panner, choose your recording, adjust its settings and compare the preview before rendering a WAV download. Effect settings can be auditioned during playback.
Auto Panner updates the effect during playback when you adjust a control. Use A/B to compare with the source. Render download creates a separate file using the current settings; moving a slider invalidates the previous download.
