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. yeats_jodjoban@hotmail.com |

As long as you can route six signals, you should be alright.
Looks like you have a good room, you may wnat to get the room analyzed, to see if further treatment is needed. I have a Sony setup at home also, think I have to pull out the manual. I wouldn't use their speakers for critical applications. If you buy MOTU hardware it comes with AudioDesk, basically DP3 without midi sequencing. It may be all you need. Also check out Digital Media Net. http://www.digitalmedianet.com/HTM/HomeSet1.htm They have several sites that deal with audio, video, animation, and DVD creation. They also have massive user groups. I know Apple supports the SRS standard in software. But games have to be encoded for it. I recently bought a M-Audio 410 card, to get me by until I can save for a MOTU 2408. M-Audio's Audiphile card has what they call home theater features, what that means isn't clear to me. You really are not that far away from a working surround system. Good luck. -------------------- G-Dub
