7.1 with CPTK to bluray
Hi
I'm completely new to the world of surround mixing and I have scoured these forums before posting this :) I have Complete Production Toolkit for Protools LE and I am working on a 7.1 mix for an audio art installation. What I need to know is can I use the plugins that came with CPTK to encode the 7.1 to either DTS or Dolby Digi and then burn that to BluRay disk for playout through a 7.1 surround Onkyo amp? All I can find is the Neyrinck SoundCode Stereo plugin but this has no mention of encoding to DTS or Dolby. Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers |

Re: 7.1 with CPTK to bluray
If you have DVD Studio Pro you can use that to encode DD (AC3) thats what we use. Otherwise you will have to buy / rent something to encode inside of PT. The CPTK does not come with these encoders.

Blu-rays can have 7.1 PCM tracks on them, so you might not need any encoding. Just bounce the 8 mono files and give them to the person creating the Blu-ray.

Re: 7.1 with CPTK to bluray
And just for your reference, Complete Toolkit does not include any kind of Dolby or DTS encoding at all.
The soundcode stereo is merely a plugin that combines a 5.1 channel down to a stereo channel in protools, mainly for editing, not for mixing, on a smaller system where you only have standard 2 channel monitoring. |

Re: 7.1 with CPTK to bluray
also Pro Tools 7.1 is the old dead SDDS format (L,Le,C,Re,R,LS,RS,LFE) not the Dolby EX format (L,C,R,LS,RS,LB,RB,LFE) that most want
