‘jahtao’ asked this interesting question on the Digidesign User Conference recently….
Default Mixer setup for 5.1, LtRt and stems?
Any tips on how to configure the mixer and IO to have simultaneously:
- 5.1 full mix and M&E
- Stereo full mix and M&E (made using Neyrinck’s LtRt folddown plugin)
- Stereo stems (music and fx stems would have to be via LtRt)
At the moment I’m having to concentrate on getting the 5.1 mix together for the client and worrying about the deliverables later. But I aspire to having everything setup properly and streamlined. I’ve all HD3 with 2 x 192 etc.

well, assuming you’ve properly grouped all your stem elements correctly, i’d just put a unity gain send on each of Sync, Fx, Mus, M&E and Final busses and send them to new 5.1 busses (I call them SyncMixdown, FXMixdown etc.) Bring them up on aux faders and drop a Neyrinck on each., then set the output to a matching set of stereo busses. Bring these up on audio tracks and you have yourself a stem recorder.
Well it is increasing looking like Paul Neyrinck’s fold down plug-in is the answer to all our prayers to save having to do two different mixes.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
