Surround Mixing
SONAR Producer fully supports surround mixing (SONAR Studio can open surround
projects created in Producer, converting them to stereo). SONAR (Producer) can create
finished surround mixes in all popular surround formats, including Windows Media 9 Pro.
You can use a joystick to control surround panning if you want.
Note: it’s always advisable to know the required sampling rate and audio driver bit depth
for the target medium that your surround project will be used in. That way you can work in
the correct format from the start, without having to convert later. You can set these
parameters in the Audio Options dialog (Options-Audio command).
To get a complete understanding of SONAR’s surround functions, start with the Surround
Basics.
