5.1 Surround in Blender - Stereo to 5.1 in Audacity

Hey all!

Yay, I didn't plan to even do this as a tutorial! It was such an adventure to do this - I learned a lot!! May this make your road to surround sound a lot smoother!

As always, use is completely at own risk - you are responsible to make sure you know what you are using and the risks are yours.

I do want to add that the opening part with the living room and the speakers was made in Eevee (added a little note in there). The banding is not in Eevee - it's part of the video profile I use to make the video as small as possible while looking as good as possible (see opening thumbnail) - clearly soft and similar shades of gray don't really work all that well with the video profile!

Have a great one!!!

Thank YOU!!!!!!
