150 VIDEO EDITOR
To achieve a high degree of realism, you will need to combine sounds originating
from different angles as you shoot your video. The ideal mix is obtained from six
discrete channels of audio recorded simultaneously. Having six separate
microphones for each of the Dolby Surround channels may seem an overkill for a
simple video job, but if you go further than that, consider separate recording an
option.
Creating a surround sound audio file
After you are done mixing, encode your project into 5.1 compatible audio format.
The steps for encoding are the same as when creating any audio file (see
"Creating
an audio file" on page
162) except for the quality settings. You can choose to
create a surround sound audio file in WAV or WMA format.
