Hopefully, Wikipedia can help, Multichannel - Wikipedia. I simply want Wavelab Pro to open multichannel files like not only stereo (2 channel/multichannel) files, but also 5.1 surround (6 channel/multichannel) files. Not only in the Montage, But also in the simple edit window.
Yes, Wavelab can handle multichannel files in the Montage (although only 5.1/6 channels) but, people are asking for it to work with multichannel files in the edit window because otherwise, Nuendo’s “Open In Wavelab” doesn’t open 5.1-files and that is just one problem and there are other problems.
No.
I hope now you have at least some confusion resolved. Welcome!
