@AlteraSound2 жыл бұрын
You should calibrate each speaker individually to the same volume. The HS5s have slightly less powerful amps compared to the HS8s, so you'll probably need to turn them up more to get to your target calibration level.

i.e. If I want to mix 5.1/7.1 Audio in Davinci Resolve 17.4.? a couple hundred dollar Sound bar is not really sufficient? Why not if 90% of my/your audience only have/use a sound bar attached to their Living room HDTV?

Hey man! I purchased the Scarlett 18i20 unit for my 5.1 setup. Question: once i calibrated each speaker to 80-85 db through the Scarlett console, I couldn’t figure out the way to control the overall output level. Choosing ALL speakers resets my speakers level to zero. What would be the way to link all five speakers level to one output level fader?
@nickcdrw2 жыл бұрын
i suggest use the surround device monitor control like he suggest on Monitor Control. Once you set your speaker DB and caustic, just route it to the Monitor Control.
@andynonimuss62982 жыл бұрын
With an Scarlett 18i20 is it possible to pass-in 5.1 audio from games and movies through the Scarlet software or does the software pass 5.1 audio from a DAW only? Currently I'm using an Antelope Discreet 8 and having to pass movie and game audio through a SoundBlaster sound card via six RCAs to get 5.1 in games and movies. With a DAW I can go directly to 5.1 through the Antelope software via its USB cord to XLR. Looking for a way to use only the audio interface (without RCA and XLR only) for all 5.1 audio whether its coming from a game, movie, or DAW... may not be possible?
@AlteraSound2 жыл бұрын
The short answer is yes. I cover this in more detail in Part 2 of this video, but you can set Windows and MacOS to recognize your sound device as a 5.1 system, and games and movies that support it will output surround sound.
@andynonimuss62982 жыл бұрын
@@AlteraSound Hey Tall Guy! I just wanted to thank you and report back to let you know I finally got around to buying a Scarlett 18i20 3rd Gen. I previously could not get my Antelope Discreet 8 Synergy interface to play back my movies and games in 5.1 surround through the Antelope interface. I literally tried "everything" under the Sun to get it to work. I previously submitted a support request to Antelope's audio engineers who told me that 5.1 playback with "their drivers" was only possible through a DAW. Today, I installed the Focusrite Control software, plugged in the Scarlett 18i20 and WOW! in just a few minutes I had all my games and movies playing through my Adam 5.1 surround system with ease! It's just unbelievable how much of a night and day difference there is driver-wise between Antelope and Focusrite. If you are reading this and you are a "Windows" user, then trust the person who fought with Antelope drivers for over two years; don't buy an Antelope interface!... buy a Focusrite instead! The Focusrite drivers just work! Thanks again Tall Guy for the video series on 5.1 surround. I learned some new things and it lead me down the path to finally getting an audio interface that actually works perfect for my DAW, movies, and gaming in 5.1 surround! I was frustrated for so long, but now I'm so excited! Good drivers make or break your audio interface!

My second video in this series goes into detail on this. If you're watching on a computer, surround sound is only supported on Windows Edge or on the Windows Store Netflix app. You'll have to configure your system as a 5.1 device in your audio control panel, then you should get surround from any content on Netflix that supports it.
