Surround Sound
Nuendo provides integrated surround sound features with support for several formats. All audio-related channels and busses can handle multi-channel speaker configurations. A channel in the MixConsole can contain either complete surround mixes or an individual speaker channel as part of a surround setup.
Preparations for Creating Surround Mixes
To prepare Nuendo for surround sound, you must define input and output busses in a surround format and specify which audio inputs and outputs are used for the different channels in the busses.
Output Bus Configuration
Before working with surround sound, you must configure a surround output bus through which to route all the speaker channels of the selected surround format.

Output Bus Configuration

Before working with surround sound, you must configure a surround output bus through which to route all the speaker channels of the selected surround format.

To set up a surround output bus, add a bus with an appropriate channel configuration on the Outputs tab of the Audio Connections window.

Note

If you use the Control Room, the device ports on the Outputs tab should normally not be connected.
