Okay thank you very much! In Premiere, if you can pan to different speakers, but there are some work arounds you have to do if the tracks are mono and not already in 5.1, as it seems so far.
I could try using Audition instead, thanks! Also, I’ve been recording room tone for all my shoots so far, but I always record the room tone in mono. Is there a reason to record it in stereo? I don’t really have a field recorder set up that allows for stereo, and it just records mono tracks. But is there a reason why stereo room tone, is better than mono room tone?

Oh okay. I didn’t actually ask them they just kind of asked me what I was doing and chimed in to correct me, once I told them I was not recording surround sound during production.
-
Oh yes, I have Audition as well. But I could just ask the music composer to just give me two separate tracks rather than a stereo track that is together, if that is better.

Sorry, I am using Premiere Pro. I will ask the music performer to give me 48 khz, but I don’t think Premiere Pro, is ablet to put a stereo track into separate channels. If a track comes in at stereo, then it stays it’s own separate channel, on it’s own and cannot be put into two then.
-
Okay thanks, but how do you make sure that the stereo music mix will be on the right channels during exporting though? If I can’t break it apart, then how do I control which channels it goes onto?
-
Okay thanks, but when you import a stereo track into Premiere Pro, the track cannot be broken apart, so how do I get the right tracks on the right channels then, if a stereo mix track cannot be broken apart?
-
Oh okay, if I want the music to be on the two center channels, should I ask for a stereo mix, or is this a no no, because then I won’t be able to break each stereo channel apart to put one on one center channel, and one on other? Should I ask for both channel tracks separately therefore?
-
Okay thanks. I am 34, and haven’t heard of quadrophonic. So are you saying that for a typical surround sound mix, the music is in the two front center channels only pretty much?
-
I listen to stereo now. I thought that with surround sound it was the same idea, but instead of having two channels to not allow instruments to compete with each other, you have six, which allows for even more. But am I wrong, and that six channels for instruments to not allow for competition, is not the same as two?

Well mine is an indie feature film I am preparing for, so I would like a 5.1 mix if that is what film festivals say they are requiring.
However, as for if it makes sense for the music to have a 5.1 mix, I guess that depends. I mean why does most music have a stereo mix for example? So you can hear more of the instruments? Since right and left direction is not really necessary for music, why not just have all music still be in mono? Or is there a reason for music to be right and left, but not front and rear, and center?
