Exporting Sound Channels to Different AIFF Files
How can I export different audio tracks to different AIFF files all at once. Is there an option that sets up the timeline so that tracks a1-a2-a3 goes to one AIFF A4-A5-A6 goes to the second etc.
How can you produce a surround sound with FCP. Is there an easy way. I know I can do this the hard way by exporting the same timeline and checking unchecking some audio tracks. But I don’t want to export the timeline 5 times with different tracks checked.

only via muting on the tracks. Just turn off the green audio icon. (and assume pan these)

OMF is the only way…..

This is quite wrong. You can export Audio to AIFFs and export each track as a separate file or pairs of tracks grouped as stereo pairs. You do this in the Audio Output panel of Sequence Settings. You then assign each track to a separate output channel. You can output up to 24 tracks like this.
You can specify which track goes to which output channel by right-clicking in the track header and choosing it from the shortcut menu.
Surround sound can’t be monitored in FCP, but you can export tracks and assign them to specific surround sound channels in Compressor.
All the best,

Sorry stand corrected. Thought the output was constrained to the physical audio output of the card.
Though why not use OMF like everyone else? Pro Tools, Nuendo, Cubase, Logic, Digital Performer all accept OMF.
Can see it being real handy for programs don’t use OMF though, but they wouldn’t have 5.1 capability.

The most likely reason is that OMF has export limitations. It’s assumed the audio editing, effects and levels control, will take place in the audio software.
