Set the surround format for a Logic Pro project
You choose the surround format you want to use for a project in the Audio project settings.
By default, a new project is set to 5.1.
Choose the project surround format
1. Choose File > Project Settings > Audio (or use the Open Audio Project Settings key
command, default assignment:Option-U).
2. Choose a format from the Surround Format pop-up menu.
Tip: Save a project that has been set up for surround format work as a template.
This way you won’t have to set the surround format every time you want to create a new
surround project. Start with the included templates, modify them as necessary, and save
them as your own templates.
Set the channel strip input format in Logic Pro
The channel input format determines the mono, stereo, or surround status of the channel
strip.
The symbol on the button indicates the current status as follows:
Mono: One circle represents a mono input format. The level meter shows a single
column.
Stereo: Two interlocked circles represent a stereo input format. The level meter divides
into two independent columns when a stereo input format is chosen.
Left: Two circles, with the left one filled, indicate a left channel input format. Only the
left channel of a stereo audio file is played back. The level meter shows a single column.
Right: Two circles, with the right one filled, indicate a right channel input format. Only
the right channel of a stereo audio file is played back. The level meter shows a single
column.
Surround: Five circles indicate the surround channel input format. The level meter
divides into multiple linked columns (the number matches the project surround format)
when the surround input format is chosen.
