Creating Surround Sound
Using the Multichannel Encoder
The Multichannel Encoder dialog box contains several options and controls that let you
select tracks and bus outputs, precisely pan audio and adjust volume levels, zoom the
waveform display, and preview the project.
To achieve proper 5.1 surround-sound preview playback from the Multichannel Encoder,
you need a sound card that offers at least 6-channel analog output, a special interleaved
driver that’s compatible with the Microsoft DirectSound multichannel format, and
Microsoft DirectX 8.0 or later. (Direct X 8.0 is installed by default as part of the Adobe
Audition installation; updates are available from the Microsoft Web site.) If your system
does not meet these requirements you may receive a warning message and your Play Track
and Play All buttons will not be accessible.
