Neyrinck has posted a new video overview of SoundCode Stereo LtRt.  It is a surround down mixing plug-in compatible with Pro Logic 1 and 2.

Avid's custom fader mapping feature, which lets you map plug-in controls to channel strips on the D-Command and D-Control surfaces, is a great solution for controlling V-Mon.  We asked Dmitri Chernov, a supervising sound editor and re-recording mixer based in Moscow at CHD Studios, to talk about how he uses V-Mon and D-Command.
