I’ve recently bought Cubase 6 as well as a Steinberg MR816.
I’ve successfully created my Music in Stereoand it works perfectly fine to have it put out through the MR816 to two monitors.
My question now is:
When I want to work with 5.1 surround sound (also the new panning features in Cubase 6), how can I get all the 6 Channels out of my MR816? Would I need 6 monitors then? Is it even possible to have “live” surround sound or do I have to save the file first?
Is there even a possibility within Cubase to export a 5.1 audio file?
And the last question is:
How can I get my usual Stereo Signal out through the MR816 Optical Output? And can I send 5.1 Signal through this output as well?
I don’t understand it’s more than 2 years and no replies?
Did you get answers?
Basically I wanted similar answers. But use fw410 and wanted to know if I connect my sound card’s optical out to a home theatre’s political in, can I or how to assign cause to send 5.1 through s\pdif or optical connection? Or is it a windows setting?
the 816 is deigned to use its analogue outputs for surround, this is not a ‘consumer’ device.
If you want to use a cheap and cheerful method for surround mixing with a consumer system then I’d say use the HDMI output from your video card and the windows rather than ASIO drivers.
