(StemCell has other purposes still though -- like redirecting between legs. Much like I prefer Spanner for downmix rather than the built in Avid plugin)

Re: Avid LoRo Downmixer
What is the usual routing within a 5.1/7.1 project for Stereo Downmix using Avid Downmixer?

Re: downmixing Spanner gives you pretty much any format to any other and you have full control over every channel. Or there are presets if you're in a hurry or just need something as a starting point. But it's worth pointing out that's really not really one "correct" approach to any particular downmix - the content and context should drive the decision making and different parts of the mix need different settings to feel right. |

Re: Avid LoRo Downmixer
I think I misunderstood what you wrote, because it reads to me like you're saying moving a signal from one speaker to a pair of identical ones will affect the spectral balance. That doesn't compute for me.
Would you please elaborate/clarify? |

It has to do with rooms and their imperfect acoustical summing (unless you are in an amazing Mastering Suite) and HRTF and other things. With stereo giving a phantom center, the Left speaker is delayed getting to the Right ear by about 200ms from the Right speaker along with the wrap around defraction of the head. This leads to a strong drop at 2kHz which also ripples up into higher frequencies. A dedicated center avoids this. Then there is something called the Law of the First Wavefront. As you move, the Wavefront is not as clear across the frequency spectrum especially in the upper mids in a phantom center image. A dedicated center avoids this.

Re: Avid LoRo Downmixer
Use Dolby tools for a good downmix, this is IMO the best way!
I think, if the native 5.1 Surroundmix sounds good and is mastered perfect, then make it like Dolby for a 2.0 Surround Mode, SL+SR=Mono Surround and this inverted mixing to FL and FR with -3 or -6db?, Center was mixed too with -3 or -6db to FL and FR? The other way was to mix SR to FR and SL to FL,like with the Waves Downmixtools, but you have no Dolby Surround 2.0 compatibility and a bad Downmix in the most cases! Sub i dont know at the moment! :) We had for a year here a discussion: http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=393697 |

Re: Avid LoRo Downmixer
I hadn't realized Dolby had (finally) come out with an AAF plugin. FWIW, the Neyrinck stuff blows doors off the old (TDM) Dolby Surround Tools.
