  1. If we have a .wav file with two channels, can we assign both channels to the same speaker in ChannelShifter?
  2. Thanks, Mike. That's a big help and a great start. Based on your answers, it looks as though we can start assigning channels prior to importing the .wav files into Watchout. One follow up: Once the program is installed in the small theater and we're mixing the audio, if we decide that a certain sound would work better coming from a different speaker, is it simply a matter of dragging the .wav file into ChannelShifter and re-assigning it? Will those changes ripple through into Watchout? Also, just so I'm clear, if we have a single channel (mono) SFX that we need to have coming from two speakers (at the same time) we'll need to duplicate the file (SFX_1 and SFX_2) and put it on two different tracks with the same start point, and then assign each file its own speaker. Is that correct? Thanks so much. Jack
  3. Hi. We're finishing up a Watchout project. I've downloaded the ChannelShifter utility to my computer and have gotten a little familiar with it. Our video is showing in a theater with the following speaker configuration: front left, front center, front right, side left, side right, rear left, rear right. However, it's not going be to a true surround sound mix. For instance, the narration and score will always come from the front speakers. The side and rear speakers are used for occasional sound effects throughout. Right now, we have the narration on one track, some VO on another track, music on a track, and sound effect on several tracks. I understand that using the Channelshift utility, we can assign certain .wav files to a certain speaker, or speakers. A few questions: 1. In experimenting with ChannelShifter, I see 18 options for assigning audio. What do I need to do to so that it will show only the seven available? Or won't I be able to do that until the .wav files are inside Watchout? 2. If that's the case, then when I drag the .wav file into ChannelShifter, will it know that there are only seven options? 3. Can we assign a single .wav file to multiple speakers? 4. What does "Standard Assignments" refer to? 5. Most of our .wav files are mono, others are stereo. How does this affect how the channels can be assigned? I'm sure I'll have more questions along the way, but for now, any assistance is much appreciated. Thanks! jack
