The Included Effect Plug-ins

Surround Plug-ins

First, the two surround channels are merged to make the mix compatible with LRCS.

Then the four resulting signals are encoded as usual. This way, far fewer adjustments

are necessary when working with 5.1 and LRCS at the same time.

Using the MatrixDecoder with the 5.0 Surround Format

Normally two surround speakers are used even when playing back LRCS. The two

speakers then simply use the same material. The MatrixDecoder simulates this by

delivering the surround channel to two outputs. This allows you to move between

formats and listening situations with less repatching of speaker channels.

Mix6To2

Mix6To2 lets you quickly mix down your surround mix format to stereo. You can

control the levels of up to six surround channels and decide for each channel up to

which level it is included in the resulting mix.

Ö Mix6To2 does not simulate a surround mix or add any psycho-acoustical artifacts to

the resulting output – it is simply a mixer. The plug-in should be placed in one of the

post-fader insert effect slots for the output bus.

For each of the surround channels the following parameters are available:

- Two volume faders that govern how much of the signal is included in the left

and/or right channel of the output bus.

- A Link button that links the two volume faders.

- Two Invert buttons that allow you to invert the phase of the left and right channel of

the surround bus.

For the Output bus the following parameters are available:

- A Link button that links the two Output faders.

- A Normalize button. If activated, the mixed output is normalized, that is, the output

level is automatically adjusted so that the loudest signal is as loud as possible

without clipping.
