i recently tried to burn a 5.1 cd-r i used regular cd music
by altering it three times to give me the desireed afects
from each feild i encoded to 5.1 and saved as wav then
burnt to disc using nero burning rom the out come was semi
successful the multi channel decoding light came on the
receiver and the desired music came from the desired
speakers but a static noise also acompanied this recording
it sounded as if the receiver wasnt decoding all the
information if i could get past this one bug i could be on
the way to makink some great multi channel music if any one
has ideas or comments please email drewson77@aol.com

CD music only has 2 channels.
you can use some non-linear editing tool to make 2 tracks
to 6 tracks (surround simulation....)
when you put yor 16bit/44.1KHz two track to left and right
you can omit the other 4 tracks.
**two channel encoding will not sound good in softencode
only the six channel will sound good. So the other four
channel will be left empty (silent).**

Try previewing the encoded track first. I have problems
when not previewing and just burn ahead.
defrag and cleanup drive before you stop encoding.
burn at low speeds (2-4X) fast speeds will cause non-linear
reading.

I have tried this and stable operations of 5.1 Test CD

thankyou for your time
