Panning audio 
You can pan audio in a 5.1 surround project in two ways: 
Pan tracks individually using the Surround Panner window. 
Route tracks to mixer controls (busses, assignable effect chains, or soft synths) and pan the mixer controls using the Surround 
Panner window. 
Note: 
You cannot pan audio on tracks or busses that are routed to hardware outputs in a 5.1 surround project.

Tip:
 You can also use the surround panner in the track header to pan your track. 
Panning mixer controls 
You may choose to route tracks to busses or other mixer controls (such as soft synths or assignable effect chains) and pan them as a 
group rather than panning each track individually. 
Note:
 When you route a track to a bus or soft synth control, stereo (two-channel) output is sent to the mixer control and the mixer 
control sends 5.1 (six-channel) output to the Master bus.
