Theselected sound file can be panned anywhere within the L,C,R,S soundfieldand includes a function for easily producing mono and surroundcompatible sound files (file which can be played back on in SurroundSound, Stereo, or Mono). All of this is accomplished without additionalhardware ! The final mix can then be successfully decoded via a Surroundsound receiver/decoder playback unit.

And if play backis in a normal stereo configuration, Surround Sound tracks still createa wider, more enveloping sound field for the listener.There is no needfor large, expensive, and bulking mixing consoles as generally requiredfor surround sound panning and encoding. It is all done using software.
