Beginner's question on sound mapping
Posted: Thu Sep 30, 2021 10:01 am
Dear all,
I am quite new to all of this, so please excuse any mistakes or confusions. I am currently trying to convert ProRes 422 HQ files into the DCP format to screen them in the cinema. The problem: The ProRes I received has 8 seperate audio streams:
Left Front
Right Front
Center
LFE
Left Surround
Right Surround
Left Total
Right Total
Now, I am a bit at a loss about how to channel those streams into the DCP - in other words: How would my sound map have to look like to sound good in the cinema? I assume, I could make a 7.1 mix with these streams, but how would this look like in DCP-O-Matic?
So you know, it's a big cineplex cinema with all the standard equipment. 5.1 and 7.1 is both possible there.
Would you have any tips, any idea where I could start with this? I'm sorry for this total beginner's question
Best,
Lena
