Hi all,
Always recorded in stereo, now a project pops up and demands recording in 5.1 surround 24bit/48kHz.
I have set up all my surround channels in de VST Audio Connections box ins & outs.
When I now want to record the record window only shows meters for stereo and when I want to select the surround option it is not there. It only shows stereo, mono channels and multi setereo/mono.
File → New also has no surround selection possibility, only stereo and mono…
What do I forget? According to the manual I just need to configure the audio connections…
In earlier days I worked with Wavelab 6 and there it was plain simple…
Did you choose a multi / mono file format in the record dialog? If you select a stereo file format, this is not enough. And don’t expect to record multichannel interleaved files.
Thank you Philippe for your fast response.
No, I did not choose the Multi stereo/mono format in the record dialog. This also still shows only 2 meters, just as with stereo.
There is no surround option to choose from.
In Montage I can create a 5.1 file. I cannot do that in the Audio Files editor / the place where you normally can record single files.
I have set up the full surround settings in the VST Audio Connections.
Well, I have worked with WL 6 and there you could do it. In stead of Stereo, you just choose 5.1 and automatically all 6 meters were displayed in the record dialog and after the recording was finished all 6 tracks were nicely displayed.
Since when dit Steinberg decide to not support 5.1 recording in WL anymore ???
This is completely mindblowing.
I just installed Sound Forge 14 Trial and there it is possible, without any trouble and works just great.
