Sony MSPSMS11000 User Manual

To give your projects a more professional feel, you can create your movies with 5.1 surround sound. 

You can set the parameters of a new project, including whether the project is in stereo or 5.1 surround, by 
completing the New Project Wizard. 

From the Project menu, choose New. 

Use the New Project Wizard to set up your project settings. For the Audio setting, select the 5.1 surround radio 

button. 

Click OK to close the wizard and create your new project. 

In 5.1 surround mode, the following tracks are added to the track list: 

The Front track is used for the front-left and ­
right channels. You can use a pan envelope to 
pan between the right and left channels. 

The Center track is used for the center 
channel. No panning is available. 

The LFE track is used for the low-frequency 
effects channel (subwoofer). No panning is 
available. 

The Rear track is used for the rear-left and rear-
right channels. You can use a pan envelope to pan 
between the right and left channels. 

For the Voice, Music, and Sound Effects tracks, you 
can use the surround panner in the track header to 
pan these tracks throughout the soundfield. 

In 5.1 surround mode, the Mixer window displays 
faders you can use to adjust the overall levels of 
the front, rear, center, and LFE channels. 

After your project is set up for 5.1 surround sound, you can begin panning. 

If you have a joystick, you can use it to control surround panning. A force-feedback joystick such as the Microsoft® 
SideWinder® Force Feedback 2 joystick can add a tactile element to your editing sessions. 

For more information about joysticks, see the online help (from the Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum Help menu, 
choose Contents and Index).
