Hi. Can't help you with your question directly, but I am super curious about your gear and strategy for mixing in 5.1, as I am on my own quest to make surround mixes for my own songs. I'm not sure where to start because I've made it 3 songs into an album with nothing but a tiny behringer uca 222 and a Samson g track usb mic on a HP i3 notebook with a stock soundcard. Latency is terrible, but I'm an ace at nudging clips. Ideally I want to be the first to mix in 10.2 with Bluedio Victory 12 driver headphones via spidf optical and a focusrite scarlet 12 output interface, but I'd be happy to start with 5.1.and a 200 dollar Logitech Walmart system, IF I can get it from PLATINUM to a playable commercial format. It just seems like there's no point in investing in anything that caters to Sonar if we cant separate multiple outputs in the box and export them to a format that can be played on a home theatre system. I really don't know what path to take, but I already know how to use the surround panners and surround bus, set up outputs in preferences, all that even though I can't hear what it's doing. I just need guidance on how to get it into those 12 driver headphones with true separation (not a bunch of stereo clones or BS "virtual" surround), then export my mix down the road and play it on the widest possible selection of consumer home entertainment systems. I refuse to believe we are too far ahead of our time, too small a niche... that there are too few of us to justify Cakewalk making surround development a priority again like in the Roland sonar 8 through X2 days that I totally missed out on. I invite every Sonar owner to join my mission to strive for surround production development. I don't want to have to abandon Cakewalk after 10 years, buy a MacBook pro, Protools 12, Waves and Dolby Atmos plugins, ILOK, oh God the list goes on and on. That will take me another whole year or more to save up for, buy and learn. Half the reason I bought a subscription to Platinum this time around is because I had x3, pro audio 9 and music creator, so its familiar, easy to use and I'm a die hard loyal Sonar fan... but the other main reason I bought it is because it PROMISED SURROUND and I leapt before I looked. The more I research, the more confused and cheated I feel. What's up Cakewalk? Sonar owners unite! We want surround! How can I get this on a budget? Again, 12 driver bluedio victory headphones show a picture on their website where they're plugged into a focusrite scarlet optical out. If that implies true surround, I WANT THAT. No third party unsupported proprietary cobbled together garbage. Sonar platinum >>> 12 driver Bluetooth headphones >>> playable 5.1/7.1 CD / DVD. I welcome any advice. Thanks.
