Surround Upmix or Downmix

A master bus can also be routed to any other surround or stereo master, with the necessary upmix or downmix being performed. For example, you can create a stereo mix on an additional stereo master from a project with a surround master or, in addition to a 7.1 surround mix, a 5.1 surround mix.

Open the output menu in the mixer of the corresponding Surround master and select the additional master while holding down the Ctrl key.

To open the downmix dialog in which you can set the downmix coefficients, select the corresponding entry at the bottom of the output menu.

In the preset list above there are common presets for downmixes of 5.1 into stereo. Additionally, you can also set and save your own downmix coefficients. The downmix is taken into account during the stereo master export of a project.
