Downmixing to fewer channels
Whenever you route track output to a track or device with fewer channels, Adobe 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 televi-
sions 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. Adobe 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.
Change 5.1 audio to stereo or mono
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Audio (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Audio (Mac OS).
2 Choose a 5.1 Mixdown Type from the pop-up menu, and click OK.
