LCRS Encoder

The LCRS Encoder VST Plug-in is especially designed for Cubase SX and Nuendo. It is an LCRS 4:2 Matrix Encoder. It encodes 4 channels (Left, Center, Right, Surround) into two channels (stereo) for playback on Dolby Pro Logic Style receivers and decoders. If you playback audio encoded using this encoder on a normal stereo you won't hear the surround channel but instead you will hear the out of phase information that may appear to be coming from inside your head.

This plug can be used with the 5.1, 6.0, 6.1 and most other surround formats found in Nuendo and Cubase. It must have a surround channel. It is recommended that you switch to the LCRS format otherwise there will likely be unexpected results.

Bass Manager

The Bass Manager VST Plug-in is especially designed for Cubase SX and Nuendo. It simulates the bass management systems found on most Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound receivers. This allows surround sound engineers to hear what their 5.1 surround mix sounds like without having to burn a CD-r or DVD-r and then play it through a consumer 5.1 surround receiver.
