5.1 Track Layouts, Routing, and Metering
Routing Audio for Surround
Mixing
Surround sessions typically include a combina-
tion of mono, stereo, and multichannel audio,
Auxiliary Input, Master Fader, and Instrument
tracks, and inserts and busses.
Once the appropriate I/O Setup has been im-
ported or configured, audio, Auxiliary Input,
Master Fader, and Instrument tracks can be
mixed in multichannel for surround using
Pro Tools mixing features.
Multichannel I/O and signal routing is deter-
mined by the paths defined in the I/O Setup di-
alog.

If you want independent volume, mute, and
solo controls for surround monitoring, you
may want to invest in external surround
monitoring hardware such as an C|24
