STUDIO
LIQUID
Surround with Dolby® Pro Logic®
Studio generates surround sound using a Dolby
Laboratories
® encoder that produces a virtual
spatial impression on DVD players capable of
decoding ProLogic
®. On normal players, it pro-
duces a normal stereo impression.
Surround sound is edited in the Balance field of
the Audio Toolbox.
More in the Reference Manual
Because of its many functions, Avid Liquid is not
as simple to work with as Studio. This document
provides only a quick overview. For details, refer
to the Reference Manual in the chapter on Audio/
Surround 5.1 Sound.
Generating a surround mix (overview)
1 Open the Audio Editor (F4, ). On the
Settings tab, activate Logical Output Bus.
2 A new segment appears in the Mixer (if
necessary, click the small “+” sign to dis-
play it in its entirety). Click Stereo and
select the Surround 5.1 bus for one or
more Tra c k s . The Surround Panner is now
displayed.
3 The plus sign represents the listener and
the gray dot is the position of the audio
source. Drag the dot with the mouse.
4 You can now assign specific positions to
clips on specific Tr a c k s or let the audio
source (from an audio clip) roam.
Note: Surround Panning relates to the Tr a ck .
Don’t move the clip; if you do, you could lose the
spatial assignment.
24 Surround Sound
All you need is Avid Liquid and a six-channel soundcard or the Pro Breakout Box to produce a genuine
surround experience. Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator
® writes surround sound to DVDs.
