stereo/multi channels downmixed to mono in 3d positioned?

0 votes
Hi, i wonder if the default mode is to downmix stereo-channel files to mono if they are positioned in 3d?

Hi David,

All channels are preserved and panned around the listener according to the 'Spread' (and 'Focus' starting with 2014.1) properties to make these channels more or less "point source". A classic example would be to have a stereo 'waterfall' SFX that is point-source from distance (Spread=0) and diffused when closeby (Spread=From 50 to 100).

Hope this helps,

Simon
