Mix 51

Mix 51 is a powerful 5.1 surround panning and mixing plug-in for Pro Tools LE systems. Unlimited mono Surround Panner and stereo Surround Panner plug-ins can be placed on track inserts to pan, mix, and send to the Mix 51 Surround Mixer busses. The Mix 51 Surround Mixer plug-in provides 30 channels of outputs grouped as three, 5.1 main busses and three, quad effect send busses so you can easily manage dialog, music, FX, and surround reverb send submixes. It also provides a stereo LtRt output compatible with Dolby Pro Logic II decoding systems. Both the Mix 51 Surround Panner and Surround Mixer feature fully automatable controls.

- Surround Panner
Insert the Mix 51 Surround Panner on any track to route it into any one of the three 5.1 buses. Use the X/Y panner or pan sliders to perform fully automatable panning moves. Also send the track to any of three send quad send buses (pre or post-fader) for setting up a surround reverb for instance. The Surround Panner plug-in doesn't pass the signal along to the main Pro Tools mixer input by default - but hit "bypass" and you can do a simultaneous stereo mix along with your 5.1 mix.

Features:
* Mono or Stereo Surround Panners can be inserted on an unlimited number of tracks
* Fully automatable panning/volume/send level/mute/solo
* Front, Rear, and Front/Rear Divergence controls
* Center percent adjustment
* Pre or post-fader send level
* Separate LFE level control
* Input and Output metering

- Surround Mixer
The Mix 51 Surround Mixer goes on any track (only one is needed), and provides outputs for all of the 5.1 mix buses and quad send buses via "auxiliary output stems". These outputs show up as inputs on other aux tracks where they can be brought back into the Pro Tools mixer. For example, three stereo aux tracks can bring in the L-R, Ls-Rs, and C-LFE pairs of a Mix 51 bus where they can be further processed with other plug-ins or simply routed to six outputs of your Pro Tools interface. Additional stereo aux tracks can be used to bring in the Mix 51 send buses, where you can add reverbs/delays or other plug-ins as part of the send bus mix.

Features:
* Three 5.1 mix buses and three quad send buses with unlimited inputs
* Stereo LtRt Output compatible with Pro Logic II decoding systems
* Fully automatable volume/mute/solo
* All outputs for each bus are available on aux track inputs for bringing in to the Pro Tools mixer for the final 5.1 mix
* Optimized CPU usage (only mixing performed on buses being used)
* Compatible with Pro Tools HD as well as LE/M-Powered
