How do you do surround sound audio then?

Ok heres the basic outline.
Using Audition (was made in v1.5, now I have v2.0) I created a 5.1 mix of a music track.
I also have a video file with no sound (an .avi file at 720x576 and 25fps)
I would like to tie them together and end up with a DVD-Video that plays the video with the sound track in 5.1.
Is it possible? and are there ANY tutorials on this? Encore (v2.0) boasts that you can do this, but I can't find any documentation on how to do it.
Please help a beginner!
Thank you in advance

>Addon?? how to I get a DTS addon for Premiere Pro?
Sorry about the wrong word there - by "addon" I meant that Encore does not have any built-in DTS encoders, and neither does Premiere Pro.
There are 3 companies selling DTS encoders that I know of:
1 - Minnetonka Audio, specifically the SurCode section. see http://www.surcode.com/ and look for the SurCode DTS-DVD encoder. This is at the moment half-price at $500. Expensive, when you consider the following options but still the cheapest way to get DTS Audio.
2 - Steinberg - they sell a plug-in DTS encoder for their Nuendo & Cubase systems. NOT cheap, currently around $1500.
3 - DTS themselves, or their licensed dealers. Current shipping encoder is the DTS-PSE, which can handle not only core DTS, but also the DTS-ES (both discrete & Matrixed for 6.1) as well as DTS 96/24. All these streams are DVD Legal.
The new series of encoders is due out any time now. I have been using one for a frew months, and it is even better - the DTS-HD SAS will give you every possible stream except DTS-HD MAS (Lossless and High Resolution - more in a minute) for all types of disc including DVD, HD DVD and Blu Ray. It's around $800.
The flagship encoder, DTS-HD MAS will be around $1500 or so, and will be complete including decoders & stream players as well as tools to stitch up the new streams. DTS-HD MAS is lossless, with nothing thrown away. DTS-HD High Resolution will still be up to 24/96, in 7.1, but at up to double the current highest bitrate permissible in DVD-Video of 1509Kb/sec.
Downside is these newer extensions are not supported in DVD-Video at all, and only the top of the range Authoring systems for Blu Ray & HD DVD will support this. The Noddy & Big Ears edition of DVDit has no DTS support at all despite it being the only high quality Multichannel format actually mandated across both HD DVD & Blu Ray. Go figure.
Legality.
In SD DVD, DTS is considered an "optional" format. This means in the real world that no DVD player is actually required to be capable of handling a DTS stream. In reality, some will but most still won't. In those that will there are 2 possibilities:
1 - Internal decoding
2 - "Passthrough" mode (IE outputting the unprocessed bitstream for external decoding in an amplifier).
The latter is the best option. If decoding internally, chances are high you must then use a 6 channel analogue output from the back of the player, or else it will decode to a stereo stream by employing internal downmixing.
When a player can output the raw bitstream, this is better as it allows the amp to decode, which it will always do at the best possible quality it can. This is important, as it gets to the er, "core" of the DTS system (Joke there for those who understand DTS!)
DTS uses a 24/48 Core stream, with everything else as extensions to the core. So, if the stream is a 24/96 resolution 6.1 DTS-ES, this is allowable as the extended frequency response & the extra channels are in the extensions, leaving the original core alone. This allows legacy equipment to still decode, and ensures that all amps/decoders use the best they can.
Trouble with being optional is this:
i you cannot legally create a DVD-Video disc with just DTS audio. It will be out of spec.
Discs MUST contain either LPCM or Dolby Digital as Audio Stream 1.

How do you activate surround sound recording?

I haven't had the need to use surround sound recording yet, but see that it's a feature of Logic Express (and up to 7.1) ... but I can't find it. Do I need to activate it somewhere first? In the manual, 'Surround' appears in the channel strip setting menu, but I don't get that ...what am I missing? Where do I find it?

a-ha! I new I wasn't going crazy!
go to http://www.apple.com/au/logicexpress/what-is.html
and down the page on the left, with a pic of the Surround Panner is:
"Mix in surround.
Logic Express offers end-to-end surround capabilities, so you can record, edit, mix and encode projects in surround up to 7.1. Graphic surround panning lets you precisely position audio in a Quad, LCRS, 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 surround field. Surround support includes multichannel signal routing and you can submix surround tracks or use sends to route audio to surround auxiliary tracks."
...so my question remains open

Change Default Surround Sound Audio Mapping

Anyone know if there is a way to change the default surround sound audio mapping in Premiere CS6?
For example, when working with six mono channels being sent to a 5.1 submix. I manually set where each of the six go (front left, front right, center, lfe, rear left, rear right). Then I route that 5.1 submix to go to a stereo submix so that I can hear the downmixed audio in my laptop speakers. When my project is exported to a video file, I turn off the last step of routing the 5.1 submix to the stereo submix, so the file has all six channels of audio in their proper place. When I change the 5.1 submix to feed the master output, I get the option to re-select where each surround element should end up in the master output. In our production facility, we have surround in the order I mentioned previously. I noticed that Premiere has the front, then rears, and then center and lfe listed. It is annoying to have to re-select my surround preferences everytime I switch between monitoring the stereo downmix and the surround output.
Any way to change what Premiere sees as the proper order for surround sound channels? I know there's the audio option to change mapping, but when working on a laptop, you only get the left and right speaker, no surround settings there.

that's tied into our entire facility audio spec, and every video file we have would have to change audio mapping, in addition to re-wiring a lot of air-chain devices.
In broadcasting, it seems like it's more common to do surround sound the way we're doing it: L, R, C, LFE, Ls, Rs. I understand why some might want to do it another way, which is why it would be nice to be able to change it and leave it a certain way. I know I can submit a feature request, I'm just trying to find out if anyone knows how to do it already.

How do you move a sound clip in the timeline?

I have not had this problem before. I have put many songs into the timeline, and repositioned them. Today I pulled up a project and attempted to reposition a song to fit in better with the clip, and I'm unable to do so. I can't select the song, or anything else. Obviously I have set or locked up this track, and I can't figure out how to unlock if that is what I have done. I have 6 songs on that track, Audio track 2, and I can't reposition any of them. I can't even remove them from that track. What am I doing wrong?

Hunt, most of my music files, over 9000 songs, are mostly mp3 files and a few are wma, and because of copyright laws I wouldn't use them in a commercial project I'm working on anyway. When I am working on a project for a client I will generally use higher quality WAV files. This project was being done just to learn some new techniques, gain some more experience with PPCS4, and expand my knowledge with the program. I have this huge number of music files and styles to work with, so I can do a great deal of experimentation to see what different songs can do to the mood of the video.
As a test, I did put the exact same songs into the timeline on a different audio track. The problem track is audio 2, and I duplicated those songs on audio 3. I did the exact same editing. I faded them in and out the same as before. Split one song into 3 sections had parts of it come in and out over a video section of 9 minutes duration. They are working perfectly. I was just working on one section of that project a half hour ago, and I was still able to select and move each of the four songs on that track any way that I wanted to. However, the track just above it in that same timeline, Track 2, is still frozen.
Hunt, just a moment ago I solved my problem. Still not being that familiar with the program, two days ago I know that I was playing with all of the controls, and I obviously hit one of them without knowing one of its side effects. I hit the show "show track keyframes". I'm sure that you know it, but I didn't realize that when that function is selected, you can't do much else with the track but play with those keyframe. Even though I didn't have the track locked, in the traditional way, it was still, for all practicall reasons, locked. I unchecked that function and now everything is back to normal again on that track.
Something very simple, as many things turn out to be when you understand it. However, maybe someone else will make the same mistake, and my posting here will help them.
I will use your suggestions for using .WAV files. Thank you again.

Terry,
What is the purpose of using the .WMA files? I'm sure that you have a good reason, but they can be problematic, at best. I only use them as a trasfer medium, when I need to get a DD 5.1 SS soundtrack into Audition for editing. There, I break them out into 6 discrete .WAV files, edit in Multi-track Mode and then usually Export as the 6 discrete WAV's to be encoded to DTS, or similar.
If you do not have a compelling reason for using the .WMA, try PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit and see if the issues go away.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes please,
Hunt

How do you get 24/96 audio from macbook air?

How do you get 24/96 audio out from macbook air?

If your media source is limited to a DVD disk, then a DVD reader will somehow have to be employed to read that disk. Apple sells a Superdrive specifically designed for use with the MBA, but I've found that many others will work almost equally as well.
Some DVD disks already contain a digital file suitable for play, when directly copied off the disk. However, for more traditional DVD movies, it will require an application to perform what is called "ripping", to convert and copy the DVD's contents to a file that can be moved and played off the disk. I have used an application called "Handbrake" with reasonable success.
After ripping, you may need another application to convert it to a format specific to the media player you may choose to eventually use. e.g. to convert into a file that iTunes may import.

Can you use surround sound 5.1home theatre systems with iMac 27"?

Can you use surround sound 5.1 home theatre systems with iMac 27"? I was thinking of using my iMac as an internet television as well as home pc. thanks

NZane-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
The Mac puts out encoded 5.1. It is the function of the amplifier, receiver or decoder to take that signal and turn it into something useful. At minimum you will need a device that can accept that output and turn it into something useful.
Most studios that I am familiar with want to be able to use their own 5.1 decoder, amp and speakers. Juicier sound!

How do I create surround sound 5.1 audio in Premiere Elements 10?

Okay, that's my question.
I have a Zoom H2n which captures two stereo channels from its 5 microphones and it creates a pair of stereo audio files. I would like to import them into Premiere Elements 10 on my Mac (OS X Lion on a desktop Mac), create a video and export the video and audio to a DVD with surround sound.
Is this possible? I have a 5.1 video camera, and the sound from that is exported correctly to DVD, so I know Premiere Elements handles existing 5.1 sound correctly.

> please report your success
Confident, aren't we? :->
Audacity would import the sound from the .mts files that my Canon saves video and surround sound to, but Audacity couldn't play the sound. It was there in the waveforms, but just a click came out. C'est la vie. I just went directly to my H2n files, and it works fine with them.
I shoot a video using a regular mic, and I also record the sound externally to my Zoom H2n. I use a finger snap or clap as my clapper board. I have the H2n set to 4 Channel, which means it records two stereo audio streams, one with a name ending in MS.WAV, and the other ending XY.WAV. I use the MS stream as my front, and the XY as the surround. I also make sure the H2n is recording at 48000.
I copy the two .WAV files to my Mac. I copy the video to my Mac.
The current version of Audacity is 1.3.14, which I used. Other versions may vary in how to set them up. You'll need current versions of LAME and FFmpeg, and Audacity directs you to the correct locations to download and install them, if you need to. Then you follow the directions to tell Audacity where to find the files; when all is correct, Audacity displays the version numbers instead of asking you where they are.
In the OS X version of Audacity, go to File -> Import -> Audio ... and locate the MS and XY files. Select them both by command clicking them, then select Open. I get two warning dialogue boxes about working on original files, so I work on copies, click OK both times. Audacity then shows its main window with two files, each having 2 tracks of audio. I do no processing in Audacity, but you may choose to if you wish.
I select File -> Export and in the resulting dialogue box I choose as my format AC3 files (FFmpeg). Choose a file name in the Save As box, then click Save.
Now is the hard part. I get a window for Advanced Mixing Options. Because I have four streams of sound, the window defaults to four channels. However, I need six channels, so I slide the slider over to get the six. For my Mac and Audacity versions,
   Channel 1 is left front
   Channel 2 is right front
   Channel 3 is center
   Channel 4 is low frequency effects (LFE)
   Channel 5 is left surround
   Channel 6 is right surround
By clicking the boxes you connect or disconnect MS left to Channel 1, MS right to Channel 2, XY left to Channel 5, and XY right to Channel 6. Then I click to OK button, and Audacity writes the .ac3 file with the name I gave it.
Start up Adobe Premiere Elements; I'm using 10, and I use the timeline. I import the video file and the .ac3 file. I double-click the video and shorten it to the first useable snap. Then I double click the .ac3 file and do the same.
I drag the video to the timeline and play it just o make sure it's where I want it and to watch the waveforms from the audio portion. Then I drag the audio to the narration track and sync its snap to the snap on the video's soundtrack. If I remembered to record at 48000, all is in perfect sync.
Right-click the video and select Unlink video and audio. Then select only the audio track that is with the video and delete it. Then select the video and .ac3 tracks and link them. Export to DVD, and I get a 4-channel surround sound with the video.
I understand from Audacity forums that the assignments of the various channels to left, right, center, and LFE have changed between versions. Be aware the assignments may not be correctly reported here and that they may change with later versions of Audacity.
Audacity is free, and so are LAME and FFmpeg. Audacity lives here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ and its wiki is here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audacity_Wiki_Home_Page

How do i hook my ATV through my surround sound and then to my TV?

Hi,
I have just bought a Samsung HT-Z120 to play music and video with my ATV through my TV. However i have a slight issue connecting everything together harmonously.
Currently i have 3 RCA components connecting the TV to the Samsung HT-Z120 (surrond sound system) and a HDMI cable connecting my ATV to my TV.
I need to connect the ATV directly to the surround sound but the connections i have left on my surrond sound and ATV are an optical output on the ATV and a audio out and video jack on my surround sound. I know this is a silly question as one is fibre optic and the other is analogue, but is there anyway to connect all this together?

BPERRO wrote:
No unfrotunatley there is no HDMI output on the surround, neither is there an optical. All i have is 2 rca point and 3 rca component point. I bought it second hand thinking it was a good deal, however i now realise my mistake.
Im not sure im going to be able to make this work, unless there is a magic answer involving the two remaining audio jacks from the surround.
Thanks for both of your replies...
The Apple TV only supports HDMI and Optical Output. I took a look at your Samsung product specifications online and it is a bare bones unit. You will not be able to connect the Apple TV to your Samsung product.

How to turn the surround-sound-like effect off with headphones?

When I plug in the headphones into my ipad I notice the sound in the headphones becomes kinda surround-like. For instance I clearly hear keyboard clicks "at a distance" in front of me when using headphones. This "effect" is nice for keyboard clicks but totally ruins any music listening experience because any song gets distorted and is perceived at some distance when played. This becomes extremely annoying when listening to mono content. The special sound processing applied to get this surrround-like sound effect adds artefacts into the sound, please let me know how to turn this off Apple, I couldn't find any option in the settings.
Overall, I couldn't even imagine I'd get such an annoying and unprofessional effect applied by default without a possibility to turn it off. If I knew that in advance I'd never buy my ipad since currently it's not possible to listen to music with it
Message was edited by: vvtrus

vvtrus, did you ever consider that turning off the clicks or other sounds might have an effect? So, before telling people who want to help you that an answer makes no sense to you, you might first try it.
Since hearing and listening to music is a very subjective matter which also depends on the quality of the headphones you use, it might be the case that you hear on your iPod something that you couldn't hear on your laptop and portable music player (both of non-apple design). Then you should blame those other devices to deliver you such poor sound. On the other hand, you might have a better hearing than other people which might give you the impression of surround-sound-like effects -- in which case we can't help you either.
Anyway, there are no settings to turn on or off "surround sound effects".

How can I get surround sound to export through the correct speakers?

Hello there!
I am experienced with Soundtrack Pro and can successfully export 5.1 surround.
I'm moving over to Logic Pro to try out 7.1 surround, but I can't even export 5.1 surround successfully since dialogue for example comes out of all speakers, yet I've panned it to the front centre speaker. Please note I do not have surround speakers set up with my computer as whenever I do connect to my amplifier it just does everything through all speakers (whether using Soundtrack Pro or Logic Pro). I am using the visual surround panner as my guide. Either way the surround export in Logic Pro is not what I'm doing within the pogram.
I believe I've got everything set up properly:
In Preferences-Audio-Devices-Core Audio I have device Sunflower (16ch)
In Preferences-Audio-Output- I have 5.1 (ITU 775) or 7.1 (3/4.1)
All tracks are set with the surround panner and I can use just like in Soundtrack Pro.
I can bounce the individual stems properly.
It's just not in proper surround sound.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks in advance.

EMB -
What is the function of Sunflower in your work flow? Usually its used to route audio between programs. In the case of Logic, you simply need to route to the outputs for things to work right.
I guess we should start with your interface - do you have 6 actual separate outputs that you can use to monitor your surround sound?
(NOTE: I no longer do surround, but used to). In my case, I used a RME Fireface 800 which had a bunch of analog outs. I used outputs 1&2 as L&R, 3&4 as Center/Sub, and 5&6 as Rs/Ls. Each of these outputs was connected to a monitor so that I could mix in surround.
When you say you are bouncing 5.1 successfully, do you mean it is creating 6 separate files?
BTW - what mechanism are you using to playback your surround files? I used to use a PC program to burn DVDA's, which I then played back on a DVDA-capable disk player.
If you are looking to encode the files so that they will playback on a traditional surround sound system, you would need to put them through a Dolby Digital encoder. If you have had Logic for a few years, you MAY have Compressor which can do this. Otherwise, Dolby Digital encoder software can be somewhat expensive.

How do you remove the sound from the video's in imovie 08

so that i can play my own sound track, i know it could be done in 06 ,but i just can find it in 08
any help would be great
thanks

Just wondering ... can you then add other background music ... and not use the audio recorded from the camera at all?
Yes. You can add your own audio either to the background of several clips or "pin" it to a single clip.
