Exporting Multichannel Projects with Compressor

When you export a multichannel project using Compressor, you can edit the channel
layout. By default, Soundtrack Pro uses the SMPTE/ITU standard for routing surround
output channels.

If you are exporting to a file format that uses a different standard for routing output
channels, use the Channel Layout interface to re-assign the channels and outputs.

To edit the channel layout:

1

In the Compressor Export Options dialog, click the Edit Channel Layout button.

The Channel Layout dialog appears. The Channel Layout dialog includes pop-up menus
for Left, Right, Center, LFE, Left Surround, Right Surround, and Center Surround outputs.
You can choose the physical output channel (labeled “Channel 1,” “Channel 2,” and so
forth) for each submix.

2

Choose the physical output channel for each channel in the exported project.
