left channels, and only the right signal for all right channels, and the mono share for the
center and LFE channels.
The following applies to mono signals: no special function, identical with "Mono" mode.
The sum of the levels of both sources is always displayed under each loudspeaker in any
mirror mode (if display options are active). Holding the "Shift" key and clicking a source
briefly displays the value of the individual sources.
Alternating between stereo and Surround formats
Each channel strip of the mixer may be routed either to the Surround master or to the
stereo master. Simultaneous routing is not possible. However, you can use mixer
snapshots to mix stereo and Surround more or less at the same time.
For example, first set a Surround mix. This may be saved in the mixer as a snapshot. All
panorama settings, filters, etc. are saved.
The "Stereo" preset is then selected in the mixer. All mixer channels are thereby routed to
the stereo master. If the stereo master fades out in the mixer, it is faded back in after
clicking the "Master" button again. All required settings for the stereo mixer may now be
set again. This is then also saved as a snapshot.
You may now alternate between the stereo and Surround mixes by switching between the
two snapshots.
Both mixtures may be saved with the "Trackbouncing" function as a new wave files (*.wav).
Trackbouncing is done separately for each mix, and the respective mixer snapshot (stereo
or Surround) must be accessed for this.
Automating the Surround panorama module
Panning movements on tracks set to Surround panning may be automated. To do this, first
activate the automation in the Surround panorama module.
Pressing the pan button for the corresponding track in the VIP window can also do this. If
the sound source is now moved during playback, this movement is recorded and displayed
as a curve in the VIP. This curve may now be edited in the VIP using "Panorama mouse"
mode.
