I'm using Sony Vegas Pro 12, and I used Belight to get six mono wav files. In Vegas I rendered my audio as a 5.1 Surround DVD (ac3), yet when I made the DVD all the audio comes from the right side. I sent it to Dwight Fry and he states, "your channel 4 has no info, and your channels 1,2,3,5, and 6 seem to be exactly alike. Something is screwing your output settings."


Here's how it looks on Dwight's computer:

Post screenshot of your audio tracks. Most likely you just need to set up the surround sound box. When I'm at home I can send you a screenshot of how it should look.

Well there you go, the audio tracks aren't set up and they just bleed into each other. I have Vegas Pro 10 so this will look slightly different than your set up, but it should be the same way to fix it.

1) Make sure your audio properties are set up properly for 5.1

2) (I have labeled all the tracks to illustrate this better).

Adjust the Surround Pan box on each audio track accordingly. Right click the box and choose "Surround Panner" (that's the option on 10). For front left channel, the diamond (or square or circle or whatever it is for you) should be all the way to the top left. The front left speaker should be at 0.0 db and all the other speakers should be unchecked.

3) Change each surround pan box accordingly. For LFE, right click the Surround Panner box and choose "LFE Only".

They should look like this:

4) Rock and roll.
 
Heres a tidbit that is slightly related - I have been having issues w/ when exporting to ac3 surround - My timeline sounds amazing but when I export the ac3 that I get seems to have mashed all the levels and makes a really muddy mix. I found this post that offers a solution:

http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/Forums/ShowMessage.asp?Forum=4&MessageID=787498

AC3 Pro Encoder:
Dialog Norm = -31 (this sets it at unity gain)
RF and Line Mode DRC = OFF (WYHIWYG)
DC High Pass Filter = ON (this operates at <=3Hz and takes DC bias out of the mix)
Bandwidth High Pass Filter = ON (this takes aliasing noise at >20kHz out of the encode)
90 Deg Phase Shift = ON
Click to expand...

Applying these settings should maintain the volume levels set in the timeline without any muddy compression added on export.

This helped me, hopefully it helps you too :)

note: I am using dusty old Vegas Pro 8
