5.1 routing in Protools Options

[Francois Déchery]

Using a track assigned to a 5.1 output (with a 5.1 routing created in the I/O setup ) or assigned in another way, is there a tips to route a sound ONLY to the LFE out?

If an output is affected to a 5.1 path (in IO setup), it's impossible to route a sound only to it because 2 paths (one 5.1 and one mono) can NOT be routed to the same output, and the 5.1 pan window don't allow a sound to be routed only to the LFE out.....

I can't imagine that there is no solution?

of course it's possible to find solutions
For exemple: a track routed to 5.1 buss channel: fader off with a buss assign to LFE pre-fade position.
In that case: control is via level automation of the aux'send

Other way, remember: LFE channel MUST be cut PHYSICALY maximum at 250 Hz (flat to 100, 120 Hz)
