If the following conditions are met, Compressor automatically collapses the entire group
of files into what appears as a single surround source media file in the Batch window:

above.)

The Inspector window shows the audio files assigned to each channel.
Note: You can click a channel icon in the Inspector window to change the file assigned
to it.

• In the Batch window, Control-click in an empty part of the job, choose New Target With
Setting from the pop-up menu, choose a setting, and click Add.
• Drag a setting from the Settings tab to the source audio file’s job in the Batch window.
