Surround Effect Pack

^{Produced by Motion Studios}

The Surround Effect Pack V1.3 is the sequel to the first Surround Effekt Pack which is no longer available. The sound quality of the new effects has been improved and playback with modern Prologic II* sound systems is now supported (trademark of the Dolby Laboratories). Surround Effect Pack gives you the surround-sound impression that you may know from many professional cineastic film productions.

At last, these effects allow you to create surround sound for own videos - previously only available using large studio production facilities! Use Casablanca to provide each sound channel with varying information and to move sounds to different directions.
You can make the sound circle around the listener, position it in a specific place in the room or even move it from one position to another.

Access the rear speakers to give commentary tracks and sound effects a totally new dimension.

With SMART EDIT 3 you directly can add surround effects to audio samples in the audio mix window.

Surround edited sound can be recorded with virtually every stereo VCR. Use DVD-Arabesk to create your own surround-encoded DVDs. For playback, you'll of course require a special surround decoder set. "Normal" HiFi sets or TVs merely play normal stereo or mono information.

The package is free of charge for owners of the first Surround Effect Pack.

Comprehensive online help provided in the installation menu and when selecting the effect informs you about the various settings options available for each effect.
