Setting output paths

In order to hear multichannel tracks, it's necessary to create Output paths that…correspond with the number of channels and their desired speaker assignments.…Let's open up the I/O Setup.…You notice there is already a Stereo.…Let's just Delete that.…Let's create a New Path.…When you create a New Path, the first thing that you need to do is choose how many Outputs.…In this case, let's choose 5.1, which is, as you recall, left center, right,…left surround, right surround, and LFE.…We will point to the beginning of the Outputs in the interface where we want it to come out.…

And it automatically assigns the Default Path Order, which we already chose down here as Film.…If we want to have more than one path, we can do so.…Let's have another 5.1 path to monitor a second set of stems.…Let's put them starting here.…The one thing that you can't do in the I/O Setup is you can't overlap, or have…the same Outputs, for two different paths.…If we try to save this now, you will see that it doesn't allow us to have those overlaps.…
