The Mixer in surround mode
To activate Surround playback, open the mixer ("M" key) and click on the "5.1
Surround" button in the master.
In the master, 6 peak meters for the individual channels are shown. The normal
panorama button turns into a representative display of the Surround editor (see
below (view page 271)) which can be opened by clicking on the display.
The Surround editor
is also available to the FX tracks (see "Mixer"). For
example, you can send the original track to the front loudspeaker L/R, the FX
track however will remain at the rear loudspeakers Ls/Rs.
The master volume is applied to all channels, here the left controller influences
channels L and Ls, the right controller; channels R and Rs and the middle
value of both controller; the channels C and LFE.
The master plug-ins are only applied to the front channels!
In the master FX rack of the MAGIX Mastering Suite, the full effect palette is
not available in 5.1 Surround mode, but rather only the compressor and the
parametric equalizer (view page 212) (from the Mastering Suite). The settings
of
these effects have the same effect on all six channels.
