Cool, thank you! So, basic question: the last time I did a 5.1 mix I had access to an actual, legit mixing room. So that huge mixing board is all I've ever used to do a surround mix.

In the world of indie film where I'm doing this without spending thousands upon thousands to setup a mixing room, what hardware board would let me map a smaller amount of tracks in ProTools? Or maybe a better question: how do indie sound designers do this? Just adjust everything within ProTools during the mix and only use hardware for basic speaker control?
