Surround Sound
Cubase provides integrated surround sound features with support for several formats. All audio-related channels and busses can handle multi-channel speaker configurations. A channel in the MixConsole can contain either complete surround mixes or an individual speaker channel as part of a surround setup.
MixConvert V6
MixConvert V6 is a plug-in that converts a multi-channel audio source into another multi-channel destination. It is most frequently used to downmix a multi-channel surround mix into a format with fewer channels, for example, a 5.1 surround mix into a stereo mix.
MixConvert 3D Downmix Rules
The downmix function in Cubase supports channel-based 3D mixing. If the Control Room mix is different from the output bus of the main mix, or if the signal is routed to an output bus with a lower number of channels, the signal is automatically converted by the MixConvert V6 plug-in.

MixConvert 3D Downmix Rules

The downmix function in Cubase supports channel-based 3D mixing. If the Control Room mix is different from the output bus of the main mix, or if the signal is routed to an output bus with a lower number of channels, the signal is automatically converted by the MixConvert V6 plug-in.

MixConvert V6 allows you to solo or mute the top and side channels, and to adjust the top and side channel level.

For Dolby Atmos 3D mixing, the following downmix rule applies:

If a 9.1 mix is converted to a 7.1 mix, the top channel signals are attenuated by 1.5 dB and added to the side channel signals.
