Group Surround Panning

Hi,

We are getting a dLive system soon and using the director software I am trying to plan out how I will set it up for mixing a musical.

We will be running a LCR Sub system.

I have set the main bus to 5.1 mode.

I have found the 5.1 panning controls on the routing screen when the channel is selected, but my question is how to do the surround control for a group sent to the main bus.

I usually use groups on the mics for compression and other processing - say one for the ensemble and one for the leads, how can I then mix that group to the center channel with divergence control?

Thanks, Timothy.

+1 on this.

Is there such a thing as a LCR or LCR+ Group?

+1 We’re planning on getting a dLive system in a while, and will need to be able to send groups (not just channels) to the LFE output.

the groups have 5.1 panning available,
but it’s not how you would expect this…
the surround handling could be much better

if I have to do surround work and have the chance to specify the console,
my choice would not be an A&H one (and none of the usual suspects…)

+1 and +5 for 5.1 input/IP, for 5.1 reverbs. Like a Digico/SSL.
