Re: Concert film, surround sound design

Jay,

Here's the deal, let me make it simple...

Your mix facility is delivering six discreet mono tracks which comprise the surround mix for your concert sequences. I'm sure they'll be just great, and you just need to trust them anyway, because you have no way of monitoring the mix accurately in FCP anyway. You can just edit in those six tracks to replace the existing stereo music tracks. Later you will use the module in Compressor that I mentioned to assign the tracks to their rightful channels.

Now, what about the stereo documentary interviews??? You have two choices, leave them as stereo, or bring them to a mix facility to have them mixed in surround. Its not going to be horrible to leave them as stereo, because there's not a whole lot of tricky surround stuff that gets added to most interviews anyway, however light ambience and sound effects are usually directed to the rear channels to make the room more lively and the mix more natural. Its a decision you'll have to make. Mixing the entire project in surround will cost more, but you will also know that you did everything in your power to give the project its best polish.

Hope this helps,
David
