[Yeats]

Hi I'm a 3d cg animator and i am in a situation that requires me to produce 5.1 surround sound to accompany some of my productions.

I would like some information about hardware and software.
Budget (1000€)
=>I would apreciate a little readiness for the future.
The station I am going to use for that is a dual 1g Pmac with 2 free PCI slots

The Monitoring system I have is a Sony str/db 1070 receiver with full 5.1 and 6.1 surround.
=digital(coax/optical)5.1/6.1 in/out
=analog 5.1/6.1 in/out
Speakersystem is SAV-E815ED (6 satelites 1 sub)
Greetings an thanks in advance

Yeats.

Hi thanks for your reply.
A few things.
-I have DVD studio pro
The people that sold me the 'home theater setup' assured me it is a system
that is used for monitoring too.
-The 'home theater setup' has 1output and 2input connection panels with
separate connections for : central, front-left, front-right, back-left,
back-right, central-back and sub
-I noticed that I can set a signal 1000 Hz at front-left line-in and when
mesured 1000 Hz comes out of the speaker and front-left line-out.
There is an function that allows me to disable all sound manipulation
(treble, bass, virtual enhancements,etc)except amplification
-The the location i work,live and own is an old movie and sound studio, and i
have not touched the sound studio (the electronics are removed)
I think This discribes my situation a litle better
So do you think it is adequate to buy me the MOTU 828 or MIDIMAN Delta 1010 with DP3

If something still not OK Please tell me(I have raised the budget to 1700€)

( question for my son. Is it possible to give him surround sound in his games?
He has a G4 Pmac and sony DVD Dream™ system digital/analog audio in )
