i noticed you can render a 6-channel single wave audio file (specifically, 48k, 16b). can i do the same with a 4-channel (48k, 24b) single wave audio file? If so, how?

1) select Render as...
2) choose Wave
2) go Custom Settings
3) at bottom is Channels (a drop-down menu where you choose the number of Channels:1-32)

thx. now that i have that part figured out, i'm stuck on a specific part of the process.

i am trying to create a 4-channel audio mix that is comprised of two completed stereo mixes that sound right when layered on top of each other (one track is voice, the other is music).

and i thought the 4 channel mix would sound exactly the same if i assigned the first stereo track to Bus A, and the other stereo track # to Bus B, which i did.

but the resulting file appears to be this: the first two tracks are two centered mono mixes of the music on top of one other, and the next two tracks are two mono mixes of the voice.

i am obviously missing a step or two at least. please advise and thanks in advance for your help.

i'm not sure why it didn't work... maybe John Rofrano's article on multichannel rendering from Vegas will help:
