Premiere 5.1 monitoring
I’m working on a movie tha has 5.1 audio. My timeline has mono channels mapped L R C Lfe Ls Rs and my master fader is 5.1… When I monitor the timeline in the 5.1 editing room I have no problems (obviously), but if I want to monitor it on a stereo editing room (both have an 8 channel audio interface) I can only hear L and R from Premiere. Can I configure Premiere (or my mac) a downmix without creating submixes or changing the timeline settings?

I’m not sure how to do it but yes, you can. I’m surprised no one has responded to you. I do believe you have to set up your audio channels before you even create a sequence. There’s got to be a short tutorial about it on adobe’s forums. Hopefully someone who knows how (and I know you’re out there!) will respond.

Thanks for your reply. I looked for the video you mentioned on adobe’s forum but I didn’t find it.
My audio channels in the sequence are correctly set up for 5.1 and I don’t want to change it… My problem is I have to check some graphic overlays and subtitles: on both my eight channel audio interfaces and two audio monitors I only hear the LR channels and no voice (Center channel). I guess (I hope) there’s a way to tell Premiere or osx something like “please, pretend this is a two channels audio interface and mixdown” like usually happens if I listen through my laptop speakers.

Oh, sorry, I totally misunderstood your problem.

There’s a little left/right speaker looking monitor all channels-button in the audio track mixer tab just above the master fader.

What I tend to do here for temp monitoring purposes is to add a stereo submix track and route the 5.1 mix to that.
