I forgot to add that I have Vegas Pro 8.0. I want to also add my attempts at 5.1 audio tracks. I have successfully created a 5.1 track using 6 exported mono wav files from Vegas encoded into a 5.1 wav by SurCode. This would work fine if I didn’t need the surround sound automated settings. Correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t believe it’s possible to render the track as 6 mono wav files and still keep the automated settings a part of the track. I have also tried to render my track as a 5.1 wav file, but when I go to Nero to burn it, it isn’t a supported format. I’ve tried burning .ac3 files but the surround channels are centered and quiet. As you can see I’ve been all over the place and am at my end! Thanks again and sorry for the lengthy posts.
