Audio Mixdown
Mode
Sets the mixdown mode used for
send-to-playback operations:
Mono — Maps to a center pan,
which creates a mono mixdown of
all audio tracks and outputs the
resulting track to two channels
when sent to playback. This results
in two identical channels of audio,
each containing the original audio
tracks.
Stereo — Maps to a left/right
alternating pan (odd tracks on one
channel, even tracks on the other
channel), creates a stereo mixdown
of all audio tracks, and outputs the
resulting two tracks to two
channels when sent to playback.
This results in two channels of
audio. For Avid Instinct, the default
mapping is NAT/VOICE tracks
(A1/A3) on one channel and the
SOT track (A2) on the other
channel. You specify how tracks
are mapped in the Audio -
Storyline Audio Patching settings.
Direct Out — Does not combine
audio in any way; all audio tracks
remain as they are in the source
media, which creates separate
output channels for each audio
track in the source media when it is
sent to playback. Select this option
to retain the greatest flexibility to
do further audio manipulation after
the source media is sent to the
playback device.
The default mixdown mode is Mono.
