Hey Group,

     I've always wanted to try my hand at a surround sound mix.  A month ago a solo guitar 
player came to the University of Colorado Denver.  My job is to run their live sound, but 
being a studio guy at heart, I can't help but to set up some good microphones and record.  
Halfway through the concert I realized I had:  The guitar's direct line, a stereo X/Y pair up 
close, and an X/Y pair as room "ambient" microphones.   The thought hit me:  "hey!  that's 
five!  I could do a surround mix of this!"


My access to the surround studios at University of Colorado Denver has afforded me the 
environment to mix.   My conclusion is that surround mixing/production is addictive!  It is 
an audio adrenaline rush!  STRONGLY recommend you pick up an interface (like the old 
emagic API 2/6) that lets you mix to surround sound.    I feel a bit limited in the comparatively bland, and limiting "stereo environment" now!

So, once I finished my mixes I wanted to test them on home theater systems to check my 
mix.   If you go to the bounce dialogue box, you can select "burn" in the left hand side 
check-boxes, and uncheck everything else.  You can burn your mix direclty to DVD-A, 
and I found this burn to be readable by a DVD player. 

So, if I'm burning directly from the SESSION, how the heck do I burn all seven songs onto 
the same DVD?  I've never messed with DVD-RW, is that the answer here?

You can also bounce the mix to a six channel .wav, if you select the PCM box, and then 
check "surround."     But when I dragged those files into Toast Titanium to burn, it 
converted them into stereo mixes.   

I was just curious if anybody else has experience and could let me know how to get all 
seven songs onto one DVD.   

Thanks!

Pete
