Default Re: Which Dolby Surround plug-in ?

If so:

Paul Neyrinck's Soundcode LtRt will provide you the ability to produce a dolby-compatible LtRt from a 5.1 mix:

However you'll need a way of monitoring the mix through a dolby decoder. (Neyrinck's solution is encode-only.) Perhaps you have a Dolby 564 or a Pro Logic II decoder of some sort in your rack?

In terms of dolby matrixed surround, Minnetonka makes the only software which does both encode and decode in real time, in a Pro Tools plugin. Of their rather confusing product lineup, the one you'd want is SurCode PLII for RTAS. It's $795 and works fine.

What's the difference to Dolby Surround Tools (from Digidesign)? It also encodes and decodes in real time, admittedly through two plug-ins. But that's OK, because you'd want to to encode to a recording track and then monitor the recording track with a decoder.
