Cannot create surround 5.1 output / bus
I've check through the forum and can't find the answer to my problem....
I am trying to create a surround 5.1 output / bus in I/O settings but Pro Tools is only giving me the option of creating a mono or stereo bus. The 1-8 outputs of my RME soundcard are shown having looked through the forum to find other people with similar problems, I found issues reported related to 'surround mixer.dpm: I have checked to make sure that the following file is present, and it is - c:\program files (x86)\common files\digidesign\DAE\plug-ins\surround mixer.dpm It is the same problem with both Protools 10.3.6 and 11... Its a windows machine running Windows 7, RME Fireface 400 soundcard with latest driver v.3.077 |

CPTK with Pro Tools 10 would also get you this. CPTK has been done away with in Pro Tools 11. |

Re: Cannot create surround 5.1 output / bus
doh....
Yes I only have Protools (newly acquired!).... I didn't realise I can't work in surround with this version.... If I have multi-polyphonic bwav files is the only way of working to have them be split into mono's on import? I can't create tracks with more tracks than stereo? thanks for your help |

Re: Cannot create surround 5.1 output / bus
Yep, without HD or CPTK2, you don't get surround. Of course, you can "create" the paths by feeding AUX sends to your surround outputs. Its a little "kludgy" but it can work.

Re: Cannot create surround 5.1 output / bus
I recommend that you can make 5.1 Mix template (Session create). Then, you can see 5.1 bus in I/O setup.
When you don't need any bus, you can rename. And you can also make sub-path, which is LCR, Stereo, 5.1 etc..This is used to make 5.1 upmixing using bus in the situation in which you don't have 6output. (Only have 2output). |
