Re: [microsound] how to create 5.1

[Marinos Koutsomichalis <marinos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What do you mean "you need the sound in 5.1"??
A lot of programs can do a variety of things with 5.1, it depends on  
what exactly you need.

You already have composed sth in stereo and want it in 5.1?
Or want to compose it from scratch in 5.1??
You want to "burn" in a surround dvd-a several split-suround files??
Or sth else??

There are sequencers like logic or nuedo that work in 5.1 mode. There  
are programming languages like max/msp, pd or supercollider that work  
in 5.1 mode, there are ambisonics tools, surround plugins or reverb  
units, dvd authoring tools, etc... depends on what exactly you need  
to do..

In any case though, you will probably need to position every sound in  
the mix before you export it in 5.1 format, so if you haven' t done  
this the easiest way is through a sequencer like logic. Then you will  
probably need sth to burn it into dvd, so you need sth like logic,  
wavelab or DVD studio.
