Surround Mixing (Platinum and Professional only)

SONAR fully supports surround mixing (SONAR Artist and SONAR Steam Edition can open surround projects created in Platinum and Professional, converting them to stereo). SONAR can create finished surround mixes in all popular surround formats, including Windows Media 9 Pro. You can use a joystick to control surround panning if you want.

Note: It’s always advisable to know the required sampling rate and audio driver bit depth for the target medium that your surround project will be used in. That way you can work in the correct format from the start, without having to convert later. You can set these parameters in Edit > Preferences > Audio - Driver Settings.

To get a complete understanding of SONAR’s surround functions, start with the Surround basics.
