Again, it's a tiny thing, but it can lead to confusion, which when you're dealing with a 7.1 mix, isn't a great thing.

The input and output meters are arranged in the SMPTE layout - L, R, C, Lf, Lss, Rss, Lsr, Rsr, whereas Pro Tools' internal layout, and that displayed on the Pro Tools metering, is L, C, R, Lss, Rss, Lsr, Rsr, Lf. This problem manifests itself in a more important way when you use the downmixer as an Audiosuite plugin. It's a small thing, but it can make an awfully big difference, especially if you have a busy Pro Tools session, and perhaps aren't using Pro Tools 12HD, with its unlimted internal busses. This means that any plugins you want to insert after the downmixer on the same path have to be multi-channel (rare) or multi-mono (not phase or process coherent). With the Waves DTS Neural™ Downmixer plugins you have to pick up the 2.0 output (or the 5.1 output if you're using a 7.1 to 5.1 downmixer) from the sub-busses of the 7.1 output and bring them back in as an aux input. So if you insert a 2.0 to 7.1 upmixer on a stereo path, it'll change the output to 7.1. This is where I hit my first little niggle. In most upmixers, when you place them as an insert on a stereo channel, the plugin automatically modifies the output configuration of the path, to suit the upmix. So it was with reasonably high expectations that I tried out this plugin collection. The algorithms in the Waves DTS Neural™ Collection are not reverse engineered, skirting around patents and adapting well known techniques. They are based on DTS' own written from the ground up techniques, as installed on thousands if not millions of home cinema setups, cinemas, computers and even mobile devices. The technology they've developed has always been innovative, but also careful to ensure compatibility. It has been interesting to watch DTS' evolution, both as a home consumer, and as a post production professional. Mike Thornton's article about this release piqued my interest. DTS have long been the other big name in Surround sound, producing their own alternative surround sound codecs and delivery techniques since the nineties.

As more and more consumers get home cinema setups, and more made for TV content is getting screened in cinemas, being able to quickly generate multi-channel content has become far more important. Multi-channel processing plugins are 2016's big thing.
