6.1 surround configuration in JRiver?
« on: Today at 03:49:21 am »
Hello,

I am wondering if it is possible (and if yes, how) to configure JRiver to support a 6.1 system?
By 6.1 I mean 5.1 plus a center back channel
Dirac Live Processor (the VST plugin) does support it so from that perspective I would be fine but not sure how to configure JRiver to make it work correctly

Thank you in advance

There's a recent thread somewhere that discusses that, but this should get you started:  https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Surround_Sound

Thank you but that does not really help

I guess the ultimate question is how to downmix 7.1 to 6.1
What I was thinking is to mix the SL and SR channels (those that are normally behind you in 7.1 if I understand correctly) to mono and those would form the back center channel

Can anybody please confirm this?
Thank you

Shouldn't you be mixing RR/RL rather than SR/SL?  Either way, the result may be too loud and localizable but DL should correct that.
