WHY is ATMOS routing so complicated?

No, I understand you correctly (or sometimes it’s the translation, I apologize).

dude…:

@Mute

it’s its Lfe (child) output that

You never have to apologize again for your English!

Hello allklier, this configuration is a bit complicated for me, but I just gave mine on another answer, which I copy here. My question for you: the testgenerator is in stereo, so no Lfe. I send it via Send to AUX mono, which goes to the Lfe channel of a children’s group developed in mono channels. And from there to a bed. All my tests work. But you’re saying it won’t go through the rendeder? Do you think I’ve made a mistake in my routing?

My explanation was only if you took a stereo (or mono) bus and routed it directly to the bed. Then those signals show up in L/R in the bed, but not LFE. But because you’re doing the direct routing of the mono to the LFE child bus, that accomplishes the same as using the LFE mix knob in the surround panner.

The main thing is that somehow the signal must explicitly be routed to the LFE channel. Multiple ways of doing that.

Ok, thanks. Phew!

But it also allows me to make specific sends, only when I want. And very visible in the Mixconsole. I think.

On routing, I have to answer that if I do that here (the AUX on output 4 of the standard bed), I never hear the Lfe. I need to configure a child output 7.1.2, and it’s its Lfe (child) output that accepts the AUX. And then I hear it. But you also need to go through a mono AUX (which is what will be processed by EQ and others).

LFE Routing
Test signal Object 22/23
Send to LFE
LFE mono group channel receives the send
LFE mono group channel routed output to Standard Bed - LFE

I see. Here, I can’t. There must be a difference. My configuration works though. Mystery.
