I may be positing a totally dumb question here, but, can MP3 render/support 5.1?
When you have rendered to MP3, successfully, do you actually get 5.1 audio?
I am asking this 'cos when I set up a
test Veg, and I am looking at the MP3 templates within Vegas and I don't see 5.1 mapping rendering as an option.
Conversely, I
DO see 5.1 mapping when I set the for WAV render and I
DO see 5.1 as part of the AC-3 options for preparation for DVDA. Note that:
for DVDA preparation!
Again, have you had any previous success with 5.1 surround in/from a MP3 render session?
Now try and create an AC-3 or WAV of your 5.1 setup, and play that. Do you have a 5.1 hardware setup to support 5.1 output?
My thoughts are these - until I know read otherwise:
1] Does MP3 support 5.1 surround?
2] Maybe what you ARE hearing in your project are the stereo renders that MP3 have, at a minimum, been able to produce.
3] Your 5.1 surround panning settings aren't the same for the first section as they are for the second section. Do look very carefully. And maybe,
maybe this has thrown us a red herring?
4] Do you have 5.1 surround sound card and loudspeaker setups?
5] And here is my conclusion: If any 2 of these "reasons" for NOT hearing MP3 renders are proved, then what we have is a false positive. Meaning, (
my words not yours): ' . .. why is it I can't do "B" when I can do "A" '?
