Topic: Multichannel over Toslink on Fireface UFX
Hi,
What I'm trying to achieve is somehow kind of unique but I've always found a way to make things work with Totalmix FX except for this one.
So let me put it into contexte. I'm a composer for films and video games and I've recently upgraded setup and started to work in 5.1. I spend a long time calibrating and correcting my room and I'm using Sonarworks Reference 4 to correct a few frequency issues from my Front L/R speakers.
Unfortunately, Sonarworks does not offer multichannel support yet so for it to be applied to front L/R in a 5.1 speaker configuration, I need to use a 3rd party standalone plugin called Patchwork and insert the plugin between a digital loop (not to convert twice). In my case, I'm looping AES Out into AES In and inserting the Reference 4 plugin in between. In patchwork, I'm assigning inputs to AES L/R and outputs to Analog 7/8. I then use totalmix to send software playback of 7/8 to what Main L/R.
Ok so if you're still following me, what I'm trying to achieve is room correction 100% of the time on all sources being played back in the studio.
I need to know if it's possible to feed a multichannel signal such as DTS or Dolby Surround to the fireface's ADAT input and have the 6 individual channels show up in the software playback row of Totalmix FX so I can use my room correction loop on sources like blu-rays or game consoles.
In other words, I need the correction to be applied in all situations whether I'm working or playing back reference material from clients or simply watching a movie in the studio to train my ears.
Thanks for the help. Any suggestions are welcome.
Cheers,
