5.1 audio processing and audio routing #225

Open dts350z opened 8 years ago

How do I get 6 channel audio (5.1) to route through 3 instances of a stereo plugin?

First two channels go to instance 1, next 2 to instance 2, last two to instance 3.

Your solution sounds reasonable; using 3 instances of the same plugin to independently process the different channels. MrsWatson doesn't have support for reading 5.1 files yet though, and I'm not sure how this could be seamlessly supported without also screwing things up for regular stereo files. Let me think on this one for a bit.

It seems to work OK on 6 channels in and out, with a 5.1 channel VST. I just don't know how to route it for 6 channels in and out with 2 channel VSTs.
