Problem bouncing multichannel files - format changes

[dubbydougie]

Hi all,

so I'm bouncing 4 channel quad files from the "quad" output (I/O is set correctly). Bounce settings are AIFF, 48/16, interleaved.

If I reimport the bounced file into the session, it shows up as LCRS. Why? Is there a default importing scheme that automatically defaults a 4-channel import to LCRS, or is it encoded as LCRS during the bounce out (which wouldn't make sense as it's originating at the quad output)?

If I change the bounce settings to 'multiple mono', the resulting 4 files are correctly labeled L/R/Ls/Rs and pro tools imports and combines them correctly. However, I don't want multiple mono, I want a single interleaved quad file.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Look at the i/o setup under the output page and there's a menu for default output order, see if that helps!!

How can i use QUAD-atmos (L/R/Ls/Rs) without naming trouble ?
ProTools 9.0.1 still imports INTERLEAVED Quad to QUAD-tracks as L/C/R/S.

SFX-management in SPLIT-format is no option (preview, metadata, ..)
Bugfix appreciated ..
