SURROUND SOUND 227
Lock channel position
If this is selected, the position of the loudspeakers cannot be changed using the mouse in
the Surround panning module. This function is always initially activated and should only be
switched off in special cases (e.g. variable speaker positioning).
Up arrow/down arrow buttons
If a line has been selected in the configuration table (corresponds to a Surround channel),
this line may be moved up or down within the table.
The order of the Surround channels in this table determines the order for display of the
mixer, Surround panorama module (e.g. peak meter), and the Surround effects windows.
LFE settings
You can activate a filter for the LFE channel in "Project Surround setup". Select between a
4-band filter (default setting) and an FFT filter. These filters can be edited by clicking on
"Edit".
Cut-off frequency: Determines the cut-off frequency for the low-pass filter.
Dampening: The dampening of the filter above the cut-off frequency is set to 12
dB/octave for the 4-band filter.
Edit: Opens a window to edit the filter settings.
Surround panning
Now that the basic settings have been made, proceed to the actual mixing. There are two
methods for mixing audio material displayed in the VIP window into the Surround master:
Track-based Surround panning
Each audio track in the arranger may be assigned to a position in the Surround panorama
module via the Surround panorama module of the corresponding channel strip of the
mixer. All objects on this track are thereby positioned in Surround panorama at this point.
Object-based Surround panning
Each object may be routed directly to the Surround master or another Surround submix
bus via the object editor. The object editor for the current object is opened by double
clicking it, and in "Pan/mute/invert", the "Output..." button is set to "Sur master". The
corresponding Surround panorama module opens for this to set the desired positioning.
Later corrections to the panorama setting may be made at any time via the "Object editor -
> Pan/mute/invert -> Surround send -> Edit".
"Stereo" in the "Output" selection indicates routing of the object to the VIP track and the
corresponding mixer channel, i.e. track-based Surround panning (basic setting). "Surround
master" indicates direct routing of the object to the Surround bus, i.e. object-based
Surround panning.
