I've read the (not overly helpful) Mixcraft manual and gone to forums, but I still can't find out how to change the pan of a clip, rather than of an entire track. We are doing a song with call/response vocals in the refrain and I want to pan the refrain clips only. Advice, please!

Re: Panning a Clip
Hi, the clip automation functions are up top just between the gear icon for the preferences menu and the snap menu. By default it is set to volume, so just scroll down to pan and you will be able to pan each clip independently.

Re: Panning a Clip

Re: Panning a Clip
Hi, the difference is you're moving the automation envelope on the clip itself instead of anything on the track. If you want to pan the whole thing, just grab the white handle that appears when you have your mouse pointer over the clip. Make sure the clip menu up top is set to Pan and not Volume.

Re: Panning a Clip
Is it an audio clip or a midi clip? If it's an audio clip, you'll need to use the track automation as opposed to clip automation. You can Pan just the section you want. If it's a MIDI clip, use CC 10 to Pan on the sound tab.
Another option would be to record exclusively on the left or right channels for the clip (stereo not mono).
Another option, mix existing track to a new track. This will also add any effects into the sound. It will split the singal into two channels. Pan that (those) track(s) as desired keeping your original track(s) in tact.
Duplicate track - same as above except effects aren't mixed into the sound - the goal keeping your original track in tact
