Hi
I am new to Wavelab and intend to use it as my primary audio editor rather than a DAW for Surround and Binaural Radio Drama and Documentary needs So I need to understand what’s its doing.
What I understand so far from the Manual is that you can use the Montage to create a surround bus lets say 7.1.4
Now each individual track you insert can be either mono (routed to left or right), stereo (routed to left and right), or multi (routed to left and right, as well as center, rear, sides and top)
All these tracks are routed to front right and left, Side Rear and Top
these are sent to the master section as 7.1.4 and they can be positioned in surround space using a surround panner as seen in the video below.
but clips tracks or even groups are always stereo so even though a track is routed to surround it remains fundamentally Stereo and no matter which surround plugin is slapped to it despite it being routed to surround the plugin in the clip lane, group and output section will always see it as Stereo.
That’s the confusing part.
