Hey everyone,

I am curious how you handle your Pro Tools sessions in terms of projects that require (or even may require) multiple playback formats. i.e, Stereo and 5.1 versions. Do you work off two separate mix templates for each, or have you set up a single template that effectively allows you to do either depending on the request.

I am working on a project (dialogue edit, sound design & mix) at the moment where it is up in the air if it will end up as a full 5.1 surround mix, perhaps just an LCRS mix for screening purposes, or stereo. In all likelihood, it is going to end up in 5.1 and stereo...

Any advice on how you would handle such a project? It seems easier, at least from a sound design perspective to start with 5.1 and work it down if needed... rather than heading from stereo up to 5.1. Would anyone have a mix template they might like to share?
