its the dumb audio panning law. that’s why I export mono channels.
In premiere, make sure you have each surround stem in a mono track and NOT
a multichannel mono track. Otherwise, when you export the stem, the audio levels will be lowered considerably.
make sure each one is properly channel routed in the mixer
and panned:
L (1&2)pan left
R (1&2)pan right
C (3&4)pan left
Lfe (3&4) pan right
Ls (5&6) pan left
Rs (5&6) pan right
This is a standard SMPTE 5.1 track order
