Downmixing to fewer channels
Whenever you route track output to a track or device with fewer channels, Premiere Pro must downmix the audio to
the number of channels in the destination track. Downmixing is often practical or necessary because a sequence’s
audio may be played back on audio gear supporting fewer audio channels than the original mix. For example, you
might create a DVD with 5.1 surround audio, but some customers may use speaker systems or televisions that support
only stereo (2 channels) or mono (1 channel). However, downmixing can also occur in a project when you assign track
output to a track that has fewer channels. Premiere Pro provides a 5.1 Mixdown Type option that lets you choose how
to translate 5.1 surround audio into stereo or mono audio. You can choose from various combinations of Front
channels, Rear channels, and the LFE (low-frequency effects, or subwoofer) channel.
