01Overview

Panagement 2 is built around spatial control for stereo tracks. Its binaural panning lets you place a source within the stereo field, move it toward or away from the listener, and make it sound as if it sits in a real room. Integrated delay and reverb processing extend these tools to lush hall reverbs, tracks that fade into a reverb tail as they enter or leave the mix, and tempo-synced movement. Auburn Sounds says the plugin holds a lot of power, so expect a learning curve before it becomes a quick mixing tool.

03In depth

Binaural Panning and Depth Control

The core of Panagement 2 is binaural positioning. Placing a source in the binaural field takes one click, which makes it practical for quick spatial moves during a mix.

The plugin can also make a source seem to recede into the distance or move closer to the listener. These depth changes are useful for arranging instruments across a mix and for pushing a sound into the background without changing its level alone.

Because the panner works on stereo tracks, it suits producers who want to reshape the width and placement of existing material rather than only building sounds from scratch.

Reverb, Delay and Tempo-Synced Movement

Panagement 2 includes lush hall-style reverbs and a delay in which each tap can be placed binaurally. This lets echoes travel around the listener rather than sitting in one fixed position.

Tempo-synced movement adds rhythmic spatial motion, and tracks can be faded into or out of the mix through the reverb tail. These transitions can add interest to breakdowns, builds and ambient sections.

The developer describes the plugin as a spatialization tool for a wide range of mixing tasks once its controls are understood.
