SMPTE/ITU 5.1 layout
Our mix stage is set up to monitor LCRLsRsLfe and we have a deliverables sheet in requesting LRCLfeLsRs delivery. When we've had this in the past, I've used multi-mono tracks and set up the layback with mono tracks. I thought this time I'd try making an interleaved file with the SMPTE/ITU layout, but I can't make it work in Pro Tools. I can change the output to be LRCLfeLsRs, but the busses, regions in the bin, and the 5.1 audio tracks are still LCRLsRsLfe. I've tried it on one of our Pro Tools 12 systems and it's no different. I figure I'll just do what we've done before and use multi-mono files, but I'm still curious: is there any way to do this?

Re: SMPTE/ITU 5.1 layout
What is seen in Pro Tools is not what the file is interleaved as. Pro Tools always displays film order. The interleaved 5.1 broadcast wave files are always interleaved SMPTE order.
There are no options on either side of this. See this thread for Avid finally clearing up the confusion http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=404932&page=5 or this FAQ (though they still haven't fixed/made crystal clear the situation with the last Q/A) http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/FAQ/SMPTE-file-FAQ But to repeat: there are zero options. All 5.1 interleaved broadcast wave files will be SMPTE order out of Pro Tools. They are never Film order and there is no way to make them so inside of Pro Tools. Pro Tools only displays channel order inside the program as Film order. In essence, what you see in Pro Tools is not the "truth" but how Pro Tools chooses to represent the channel order.

Wait. Pro Tools is lying to me? The horror. The horror.
Thanks for dropping the big K on this. (That's knowledge, not ketamine.) sent from a stupid phone using Tapatalk |
