Hey Folks,
I'm new at scoring movies and have done two features in stereo.
Can any one give me any suggestions on learning 5.1
mixing? Any Motu tutorials etc.? I was in post at CCI in Burbank
and the engineer through my stereo mix through the THX
surround widgit and it really sucked. It was aversion therapy
and now know I have to present true surround mixes.
Also I have a pair of Mackie HR 824. Any suggestions on
What I should get for center and surround speakers?
I have some Tanoy 6.5 near fields that need to be amped.
Thanks in advance
Brian

You want the front center to sound as close to the L, R speakers as you can get. The back speakers should sound reasonably close to the fronts. This way you are hearing an even sound and will eq the same. Run all the channels full frequency except bass. Pay attention to placement, EQ and reverb plus movement. That is a few things I know.
