[FCP-L] FCS surround encoding

 

No matter what method I use, FCS consistently encodes my surround to
stereo, even though I've been through the process by every method I
can figure. I followed any and all instructions I could find in the
book, and online - yet my discreet 6 tracks keep getting mixed down by
the 5.1 encoder. My decoder shows I'm getting 6 tracks, but
everything is still mix to L and R, with C, LFE, LS, and RS silent.

I have built a test project with 6 discreet test audio channels that
sync up with text in the picture, saying which channel should be
played back. I've set the outputs carefully; I've even tried using
'add surround group' in compressor, having each track be an individual
aiff file, and linking them one-by-one to the surround group. In
that case, it appears that R, C, LFE, LS, and RS all get encoded into R.

Anyone else seen this? Any clues where I might be missing something?
I'm so certain I'm doing this right - yet if there was a software bug,
I'm certain we would of heard about it before now, right? Someone
must be doing proper dolby 5.1, not just 2.0.

Any tips much appreciated. It's got to be something obvious I'm
missing... even though I've been through it multiple times in the last
week.
