*sigh*

Yes, you said that before. It's done since the 1950ies, I do it since the 1980ies, and MIR Pro does it since 2011. 

For some reason I don't understand you don't want to see any of the solutions I offered you in this thread already (and in many others before), so I rest my case.

Have a great day.

I "don't say" ... :-D ... ok, it seems as I wrote two pages for you exclusively, without saying anything.

Please understand that it's not my job to explain users the handling of their DAWs. So let's start from the opposite end, once again: How would _you_ set up a surround session in Reaper? 

If you would do so, you could use _any_ downmixing device (i.e.: multi-channel to stereo) of your choice for the dynamic mixture of up to eight individual MIR Pro output channels. Is this really so hard to understand? ... must be a language thing.

Thanks for your exceptionally friendly reply.

That's what I came up with after downloading Reaper a few minutes ago, without activating "Force Output Channels" in MIR Pro Preferences (see attachment). Isn't that what you get?

You cannot view/download attachments. Try to login or register.

That's the problem, then.

Thanks for testing it.

It's extremely unlikely I've changed anything that would affect this. I have kept a written list of every Reaper-option I've changed away from the defaults, and the list is short and includes nothing related to plug-in channels.

We are all talking about MIR Pro plugin here, and there's no confusion about that; but I'm wondering, could it make a difference that I have no license for VE Pro? Is it possible that this functionality is tied to the VE Pro license? I have no idea what else could be the deciding factor.

In general, the MIR PRO plug-in has nothing to do with the VE PRO license.  

Thanks,

I see your PM Paul: You don't like what I'm saying---you're trying to figure out which of your paying customers I am, because I'm not "friendly" enough.

I'm not here to make friends, Paul. I'm here inquiring about a setting that your company neglected to document.

I'm here explaining to Dietz what the word "capsule" means, because on page 1 he asks:

I'm here answering Dietz's question, why would a person want more inputs coming into his mixing console (or DAW) than going out from it---even though that has been a routine practice since the 1950's.

I'm here making a local copy of this thread, so I can post it on Gearslutz, KVR, and VI-Control, in case you decide to censor it here, because I wasn't "friendly" enough.

As if there aren't already enough threads on VI-Control about your treatment of the customers who pay your salary.

Thank you so much for answering my questions, and thanks for paying my "salary" even after I've treated you so badly.

... the word for that is "BachRules", I assume.
