=== Reaper ===
[[File: ReaperTemplate.png|1000px]]

The AESR Lab provides a ready made Reaper-Template that can pan 8 soundsources to any speaker attached to the mobile lab. You can find it [https://base.uni-ak.ac.at/cloud/index.php/s/BiTfc4xXaEGPeLt here].

If you are looking for a way create your own multichannel routing template, or modify the existing one, we have created an guide here:

==== Basic Setup ====
# Create a new track (CTRL + t) "Track" > "Insert new track"
# To be able to adress all 8 channels of the mobile lab, change the track channel count to 8 channels via "Route" > "Track channels"
# Now we add a plugin called "ReaSurround" on your newly created channel. "ReaSurround" will enable us to route the sound via a graphic interface to the respective channels in realtime
# Before we can start routing we should adapt the speaker configuration fitting the speaker layout of the Mobile Lab. There is a ready made preset you can find here: Then import "8chReadSurround.rpl" preset library into the Plugin, this will already setup a good speaker configuration to work with the Mobile Lab
# We now also need to change the track channel count on our master track to handle 8 channels. We will use this master track to send our differently panned sound sources to the correct hardware outputs. Do this by clicking on the "Sends/Hardware Outputs" Section on your Master Track and add a new hardware output. You can find the output configuration inside this chart [[#Mixer Routing]]
# Now you are ready to go to route your sound to the speakers of the Mobile Lab using ReaSurround
==== Audio Routing with ReaSurround ====

# The interface of "ReaSurround" let's you visually move a sound source to different speakers. After you loadup the preset you will see a speaker configuration setup with 8 speakers (yellow) and a white dot which is your sound source. By clicking and dragging your soundsource you can move the sound to the respective speaker.
# Using "Diffusion" you can make your sound source bigger covering a lager area of speakers
==== Automation and Modulation ====

Reaper let's you automate any paramter inside of the software, as well as using modulator like LFOs to control plugin and software parameters.
To be able to create automation we have to enable the automation envelope of the corresponding track.
# Click "Trim" on the track
# Enable the parameters you want to automate by clicking "Arm" and "Visible"
# A new envelope should appear under the track, where you can draw in your automation
# Clicking on "Mod" opens a window where you can set LFOs or an audio signal as a modulation source

==== Open Sound Control ====
Reaper can be controlled via open sound control so you can control your reaper session via an OSC Controller (TouchOSC, PD, OSC Controller, MAX/MSP)

=== Ableton Live ===
[[File: Live-Surround.png|800px]
The AESR Lab provides a ready made Live-Template that can pan 8 sound sources to any speaker attached to the mobile lab. You can find it [https://base.uni-ak.ac.at/cloud/index.php/s/BiTfc4xXaEGPeLt here].

If you are looking for a way create your own multichannel routing template, or modify the existing one, we have created an guide here.
Please notice that Live has no native multichannel support and needs M4L to enable multichannel.

[[File: SurroundPanner.png]]

# To be able to utilize multichannel routing you will need a M4L external called "Surround Panner". You can find it [https://www.ableton.com/de/packs/surround-panner/ here] or in our [https://base.uni-ak.ac.at/cloud/index.php/s/8gpPFCtM7gq2L6t Resources Folder]
# Put onto a track you want to use for multichannel output
# Select "Speaker Setup" "8-Center"
# Select Outputs "1/2 > Ext.Out > 1/2, 3/4 > Ext.Out > 3/4, etc"
# Add "Surround Panner" to more tracks if you need to
# Use the graphical interface to move the sound around, you can use the focus parameter to expand the speaker range of the sound source or to make it smaller

After you loadup the preset you will see a speaker configuration setup with 8 speakers (yellow) and a white dot which is your sound source. By clicking and dragging your soundsource you can move the sound to the respective speaker.
# Using "Diffusion" you can make your sound source bigger covering a lager area of speakers
==== Automation and Modulation ====

Reaper let's you automate any paramter inside of the software, as well as using modulator like LFOs to control plugin and software parameters.
To be able to create automation we have to enable the automation envelope of the corresponding track.
# Click "Trim" on the track
# Enable the parameters you want to automate by clicking "Arm" and "Visible"
# A new envelope should appear under the track, where you can draw in your automation
# Clicking on "Mod" opens a window where you can set LFOs or an audio signal as a modulation source

==== Open Sound Control ====
Reaper can be controlled via open sound control so you can control your reaper session via an OSC Controller (TouchOSC, PD, OSC Controller, MAX/MSP)

=== Ableton Live ===

The AESR Lab provides a ready made Live-Template that can pan 8 sound sources to any speaker attached to the mobile lab. You can find it [https://base.uni-ak.ac.at/cloud/index.php/s/BiTfc4xXaEGPeLt here].

If you are looking for a way create your own multichannel routing template, or modify the existing one, we have created an guide here.
Please notice that Live has no native multichannel support and needs M4L to enable multichannel.
[File: SurroundPanner.png]
# To be able to utilize multichannel routing you will need a M4L external called "Surround Panner". You can find it [https://www.ableton.com/de/packs/surround-panner/ here] or in our [https://base.uni-ak.ac.at/cloud/index.php/s/8gpPFCtM7gq2L6t Resources Folder]
# Put onto a track you want to use for multichannel output
# Select "Speaker Setup" "8-Center"
# Select Outputs "1/2 > Ext.Out > 1/2, 3/4 > Ext.Out > 3/4, etc"
# Add "Surround Panner" to more tracks if you need to
# Use the graphical interface to move the sound around, you can use the focus parameter to expand the speaker range of the sound source or to make it smaller

== Working with the Mobile Lab ==

=== Reaper ===

The AESR Lab provides a ready made Reaper-Template that can pan 8 soundsources to any speaker attached to the mobile lab. You can find it [https://base.uni-ak.ac.at/cloud/index.php/s/BiTfc4xXaEGPeLt here].
[[File: ReaperTemplate.png]]
If you are looking for a way create your own multichannel routing template, or modify the existing one we have created an guide here

==== Basic Setup ====
# Create a new track (CTRL + t) "Track" > "Insert new track"
# To be able to adress all 8 channels of the mobile lab, change the track channel count to 8 channels via "Route" > "Track channels"
# Now we add a plugin called "ReaSurround" on your newly created channel. "ReaSurround" will enable us to route the sound via a graphic interface to the respective channels in realtime
# Before we can start routing we should adapt the speaker configuration fitting the speaker layout of the Mobile Lab. There is a ready made preset you can find here: Then import "8chReadSurround.rpl" preset library into the Plugin, this will already setup a good speaker configuration to work with the Mobile Lab
# We now also need to change the track channel count on our master track to handle 8 channels. We will use this master track to send our differently panned sound sources to the correct hardware outputs. Do this by clicking on the "Sends/Hardware Outputs" Section on your Master Track and add a new hardware output. You can find the output configuration inside this chart [[#Mixer Routing]]
# Now you are ready to go to route your sound to the speakers of the Mobile Lab using ReaSurround
==== Audio Routing with ReaSurround ====

# The interface of "ReaSurround" let's you visually move a sound source to different speakers. After you loadup the preset you will see a speaker configuration setup with 8 speakers (yellow) and a white dot which is your sound source.
