5.1 monitoring in Premiere CC

[Tero Ahlfors]

Do you have any options in the map output for- dropdown?

[Lance Bachelder]

The pic shows it all – I have no other control – tried clicking on everything – nothing. Changing option from Saffire to Premiere Pro WDM doesn’t help either. Sad because I’d like to work in 5.1 while I cut since I do my own sound design.

Have a look at the Audio tab. There you can change behavior for 5.1.

It looks everything ok for Saffire.

Did you open track mixer (not clip mixer)?
Do you see surround panner?

[Tero Ahlfors]

Have you set up your sequences to send audio to those channels?

[Lance Bachelder]

Thanks – figured it out. Not happy at all with Adobe’s thinking, or lack of thinking on this one. Having to go to several windows and then having to map every single audio clip is not good. I’ll just cut in Premiere and worry about the mix in another app.

Agree. Better find another app for surround.

Surround panner in Premiere is just too basic. Adobe default surround mapping is neither film nor SMPTE/ITU. And you can’t simply change sequence from stereo to surround and then import finished surround mix into a project. I could go on..

[Lance Bachelder]

Concur!
