Orinj Getting started - Part 5 - Mix your song

Orinj version 9.0.0

Pan

  1. Adjust the pan knob in the track control panel to the left of a track.

The pan knob is the one on the right in the track control panel shown below.

Track control panel in the multitrack session

Explanation: The session view is the Orinj mixer. It is where you will record and build your session and also where you will adjust volume and pan, add effects, and produce your song.

You can adjust the pan during playback or when there is no playback.

A negative pan value means panning to the left. -100% is panning fully to the left (i.e., no signal in the right channel). A positive pan value means panning to the right.

Orinj always uses stereo signals. Mono tracks are converted to stereo tracks. Thus, panning works the same way for both mono and stereo tracks.

Remember to save your session after making changes (click on File and then on Save in the Orinj menu).

Volume

  1. Adjust the volume knob in the track control panel to the left of a track.

Volume and pan automations

If you want to change the volume or pan of a portion of the track, use volume and pan automations. Right-click on the pan controls or volume controls in the track control panel to the left of the track to add automations. Click on the automation lines and drag points to change automation values.

You can change automations both before and during playback.

Effects

Orinj provides several stock effects, including delays, compressors, reverbs, and equalizers. See Orinj Effects and Orinj VST support for more information.

To see the effects added to a track, expand the track. Click on the small button under the pan control in the track control panel to the left of the track. The track will be expanded to show the effects and automations in it.

You can add, remove, or modify effects both before and during playback.

Mix your song

  1. Click on Session and then on Mix To File in the Orinj menu.

Explanation: After mixing your song, Orinj will switch to the single wave view, where your mix will be displayed. There, you can save your mix, add effects to it, or otherwise change it.
