8 channel to 5.1

Hi
I have a 8 channel recording that I would like to render into a 5.1 version for combining with video. Is there a way to do this easily with spat?
Best,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Downmixing 8 channels to 5.1 is possible. Attached a suggestion patcher to do so.
As for the video, spat does not handle it; you’ll have to find another tool to combine audio+video.

Best,
T.

Thanks a lot, I will try the patch. I only need to install the 5.05 first.
