Hi Marc-Olivier,
> Now, it's probably too late for this years project
If the Blender team's soundtrack mixer made mix stems available, there
could still be a linuxaudio.org remix contest. The final Durian DVD
could be mastered with alternative soundtracks, potentially.It would be great to have our member Harrison Consoles involved; they
have a strong interest in film audio mixing and have also contributed to
the Ardour project.This contest could pave the way for a full Free Software soundtrack
production in future. I agree that projects of this nature are a good
way to find out what the applications really need.I don't think the 5.1 LFE channel can be ignored, it's really essential
in digital cinema for the Kaboom! of action movies. The current
limitation with GNU/Linux is not necessarily the AC-3 encoding, it's
having an automated 5.1 panning system in your software mixer. Harrison
has a motorised and touch sensitive surround panning joystick on its
Trion control surface. It would be nice to have an affordable USB
version of that :-)http://www.harrisonconsoles.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task...
Cheers!
Daniel
