Realised that I never got back about this. This method works in that you can assign a stereo track to come from say L->Ls R->L so that it appears to come from the left side of the surround field. However, this is a hard assign so you have to have separate tracks for anything you want to be panned li...

No problem Stephen, thanks so much for your help!

I look forward to trying this out when I'm back in the studio.

5.0 should be easy to sort out as well using the above subpath method.

Like LCR, would 5.0 work better like this as DP doesn't support actually placing a 5.0 recording into an audio track. Or does it?

I have created a surround sub with subpaths for mono, stereo and quad. I create an aux track with the surround buss for the input and the mix buss for output. This can be routed to another aux track or an audio track. Mono and stereo tracks can be routed to the main surround sub, or any of the subp...

I (sort-of) hate to mention this in a DP forum, but Pro Tools has a routing feature called sub-paths that allow you to route 5.0, LCRS, Stereo, Mono, or whatever into any path with a higher track count. So you can indeed send your quad recordings to a 5.1 track and put them where you want. I'm glad...

If you pull in any multi-channel audio into a track, the ability to not only route it into your existing surround format but also do the equivalent to panning in terms both of setting a pan balance and automating it if you like. Yeah, I thought that this would just work in DP, like sending a stereo...

Bump.

Anybody got any ideas about this or advice?

Hi all, I'm hoping you can help me with something although I suspect it is impossible. I edit and mix sound in 5.1 for film using DP and I have quad ambience recordings that I'd like to use in my projects. However, it seems impossible to send a quad track to a 5.1 bus. Reading the manual makes no me...
