Surround

[Unlike many other DAW programs that merely mix mono or stereo signals in a multi-channel bus, Cubase SX features a full-fledged multi-channel audio signal path (from the input to the output). You can generate multi-channel Surround files as soon as you start recording, and then edit and mix these tracks using multi-channel-enabled mixer channel strips. In fact, you can process and mix any number of mono, stereo and multi-channel signals within a project. That goes for the entire signal path, including effects busses and groups.
 
An individual mixer channel can accommodate a complete Surround mix or a single speaker channel that is part of a Surround configuration. The Mixer’s SurroundPan function provides a graphical view for arrange channels in the Surround field.
 
In Cubase SX3, you can use multi-channel-enabled plug-ins that were developed especially for mixing Surround sound. Several of these plug-ins ship as part of the Cubase SX package (  see also Virtual Instruments and Effects).
 
You can export your finished mixes via optional encoder plug-ins in the popular Dolby Digital and DTS Surround formats, or via the included free WMA Pro Codec.
