LFE content is routed discretely, always. so it's quite trivial to handle it with currently existing tools, if you feel the need. being mainly interested in music, i always use 5.0 anyways. if you want to do the nasty and feed some bass content of the 5 channels into LFE, well, you could even do that now with some EQ. but doing so would confuse the bass management of home theatre systems and won't buy you much. > And until we get a working and easy to > use 2D panner in Ardour, it will still be lacking in that regards. well, i'm using one today :) but it does lack a graphical UI. if this is really perceived as a major issue, why doesn't somebody write one? it shouldn't be too hard. all it needs for a really whizz-bang user experience is that each panner can be remote-controlled MVC-style, and that a global panner widget is available which shows all channels and allows them to be dragged around. of course, for 3d panning this beast would have to be opengl so that it can be turned to various angles... but for now, 2d is good enough, there are no streamlined 3d workflows in the industry yet that we would need to compete with. > There are a few parts to this in fact some of which I am hoping to start > implementing the basics of sometime later this year myself if I manage > to have time. keep me posted. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
