Default Re: Mixing in 5.1 rookie techniques.

Quote:

This is what I want to do;
Bring in all my elements into the protool le 6.9 I have. For the surround sound, for the desired and effects I wish to surround the audience in, simply copy and paste from channels 1,3 into 4,5 and not even enter the mixing module. Then once my mix is complete in the protools le recording module, export as 6 files, one for each track, then assign them in Apack, and I got an .ac3, wallah?

This may be amateurish, but will it even work? Is the hardware 5.1 outputting even necessary at all?


You say you work on your own films. Would you shoot your film without looking through the view-finder?

Would you listen to your ipod with only one phone in one of your ears?

Would you mix a stereo track with only one speaker and then simply duplicate the mono track burn to a stereo CD and you´re done?
