• Surround Reduction Coefficients
Here you can specify which amount of volume reduction, if
any, should be applied to the different channels in a sur-
round encoding. These settings affect how the audio is re-
produced on a system incapable of playing back the file in
surround, in which case the surround channels of the file
will be combined into two channels and played back in
stereo instead.
The default values will normally produce satisfactory re-
sults, but you can change the values manually if you wish.
You can enter any value between 0 and -144dB for the
surround channels, the center channel, the left and right
channels and the LFE channel respectively.
Media tab
In these fields you can enter a number of text strings with
information about the file – title, author, copyright informa-
tion and a description of its contents. This information will
then be embedded in the file header and can be displayed
by some Windows Media Audio playback applications.
Ö For more information about surround sound and en-
coding, see the chapter “Surround sound (Cubase only)”
on page 195.
