208 SURROUND SOUND
The level meters of the surround master's channels are on the right side. Only the levels of
the material currently edited in the surround panorama module are displayed.
The loudspeaker channels of the surround setup are displayed as blue dots in the main
panorama window. Their position within the surround panorama field is dependent on the
selected mode. Muted channels are marked with a grey dot. A red dot marks the sound
source that is to be positioned within the surround panorama. Depending on the “Pan L/R”
settings, these may also be displayed as two dots.
The following additional information can be displayed by activating the options below the
main panorama window.
Name: The loudspeakers are described using the abbreviations determined in the “Project
Surround Setup” window.
Volume: Level information is displayed with every loudspeaker. This displays the value of
the signal share that is passed on to this bus by the sound source. In stereo modes the
sum of the levels of both sources is always displayed. Holding the "Shift" key and clicking
on a source can briefly display the value of a single source only.
Sound field: The meaning of this display depends on the module used by the surround
panorama module.
Channel: Mutes or changes the level of the bus outputs of the surround panorama module
to the surround busses. Deactivates bus outputs/loudspeakers are displayed as grey dots
in the panorama field.
LFE: Level share of the signal that is reproduced via the LFE channel.
LFE only: The source is routed only to the LFE channel.
Center: This parameter controls the center's share in distribution of a sound source to the
front channels. In certain working environments (e.g. movie soundtrack) it is common to
reserve the center channel window and to mix music and sound effects without a share in
the center. A signal that is positioned exactly in the middle is exclusively reproduced by the
center channel if in 5.1 format with center = 100%. At 0% it is reproduced only as a
phantom sound source by channels L and R. This parameter is often also referred to as a
divergence.
