Folks,

Normally I mix to stereo. I want to mix to surround sometime soon and Logic will allow me to do it with my MOTU 2408. The problem lies in that my surround receiver doesn't have any discreet 5.1 inputs for an external decoder, just the optical and coax digital type. The MOTU has 8 analog output channels which I would normally need to connect to the external encoder jacks on my receiver.

On a different computer I have a SB Live! 5.1 card and the 5.1 desktop theater speaker system.

Can Logic (or any software) actually use all of the 5.1 channels in an SB Live! 5.1 card? My guess is no.

If the answer is no, then I need to dig up some old power amps up out of the basement and hook them to my home theater speakers for the duration of my surround mixing experiment.
