This routes the timeline tracks to the correct speakers.
Your timeline will look like this.
Right click in the track panel on A1/Audio 1 and select Convert to Linked Group. Your tracks will be renamed (L-R-C-LFE-Ls-Rs)
If you have seperate tracks add them in the correct order L-R-C-LFE-Ls-Rs. ** If your mix is interleaved confirm with the sound designer they are in the correct order.
With you 5.1 mix added, and with the settings above you should be able to monitor and export in 5.1.
Still unsure? Download this 5.1 test file. Add it to the end of your timeline. It should be clear if you have the tracks correctly assigned to the speakers.
