Mixing in 5.1 for motion picture
-
I have a question for those of the musical persuasion in these parts. One of my goals in building a new house was to build a pro quality recording facility as well, in part due to a desire to start composing and producing music for movies & video. I've been producing and mixing in stereo for a couple of decades now, but haven't done any 5.1 just yet. Does anyone know of any good tutorials on the topic for experienced studio rats? Surprisingly, Googling didn't turn up much. I'd also be curious as to which (Windows) audio software you use if you do any mixing for film. My Pro Tools rig is host based and LE doesn't support video clips, making it useless for timelines (no one wants to sell you an HD or 192 system if you aren't running a Mac, which is how I ended up with the wonderful Mackie digital stuff). So, I upgraded Cakewalk, previously used only for MIDI, to Sonar so I could view a video file and drop music in at SMPTE locations. Thoughts? Ideas? War stories? :) Christopher Duncan Today's Corporate Battle Tactic Unite the Tribes: Ending Turf Wars for Career and Business Success The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World

Look at http://www.adobe.com/products/audition/main.html[^] This used to be Cool Edit Pro. My goodness, this software is awesome. And it has the dolby 5.1 stuff I think you're looking for. I've only looked at the demo (I don't need it enough to justify paying that much.)

Cool Edit Pro has always kicked ass. I didn't know Adobe bought them out, but I'm gonna check out the link. Jeremy Falcon

I use Pinnacle Studio 9 for my video editing/authoring. I supports 16:9 and 5.1, though I don't use them (my sound card isn't 5.1) Canada has 6 zones, none of which are erogenous.

I agree with Jeremy, Cool Edit Pro, aka Adobe Audition, rocks. I have Pro Tools, Cakewalk and Sonar, but when I need to do serious processing of an audio file, CEP is what I reach for. You can actually grab individual samples with your mouse and move them around in the waveform (which saved my bacon once with a drum track that an Alesis compressor trashed with transient spikes). Haven't gotten around to installing the update to Audition, but I certainly will...

Looks very cool for video, especially for the price! Christopher Duncan Today's Corporate Battle Tactic Unite the Tribes: Ending Turf Wars for Career and Business Success The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World

I see that steinberg now has both cubase and nuendo. Do you know what the fundamental difference between the two is? Christopher Duncan Today's Corporate Battle Tactic Unite the Tribes: Ending Turf Wars for Career and Business Success The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World
