440 Forums _ Software on MacOS X _ 5.1 In Software Player?

Great we have surround modus in our softwares now.
However, let's say there are 20 surround (5.1) tracks for a theatre play.
How can you replay them? Is there a piece of software for OSX that plays 5.1 tracks? A player that can skip quickly from track to track? How is it done in general, mastering it to a cd and the played manually?

You should be able to do this in QuickTime using the optical digital out (if you have one). You can have multiple movies open and select "play sound from foremost player only" in the preferences, when you need to switch tracks just click to another player.

Is this what you meant?

Thanks Jim for your quick reply.

Is it possible (from Logic) to forward these files internally? (If I bounce them there are 6 separate files..)
Another thing is; Does quicktime handle 5.1 ?
