4.3 Adjusting the playback device

The sound output device used for playback can be selected in the Sound preferences panel accessible by choosing Preferences in the Amadeus Pro menu.

Like the situation for recording, from the point of view of Amadeus Pro’s playback function, every sound input device has 5 virtual channels: front left, front right, back left, back right and center. It is possible to assign the physical channels of your input device to the 5 virtual channels by clicking on Advanced settings in that preferences dialog. On a normal two-channel output device (built-in speakers for example) the virtual center channel is assigned to the first available physical channel, which is usually the left speaker. Therefore, a mono track set up to play back on the center channel has a good chance of being played back through your left speaker. If you wish it to be played on both speakers simultaneously, you should select front or back in the Playback menu of the track.

Note: By default, the output device used for playback is the one selected in the Sound system preferences dialog. However, if you set a playback device using Amadeus Pro’s preferences, this takes precedence over any settings that you may have in the system preferences. The setting will also be remembered from one session to the next.
