Hello. As far as i am concerned, volume and pan are just adjustable while the file is not playing. However, there's a preview button that allows us to keep track of how our effects such as volume and pan are going. ----- Original Message ----- From: Herman Slobbe To: Audacity Send mail Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2015 8:17 PM Subject: [audacity4blind] Panning and changing volume while playing Hello all, I want to pan my channels and changing volume while playing, but I haven't found that option. I think you only can change these settings in the stop mode.
