Question

To do work in surround or ambisonics, multichannel outputs are required which are currently absent in S1.

For 2nd order ambisonics for example, single tracks would need 9 outputs.

The ability for multichannel WAV rendering would also need to be present.

Answer 1

Indeed Studio One is pretty useless for Ambisonics.

It's also a big frustration for me, as a payed customer who also uses Ambisonics and the DearVR Plugins. If you limit your production to only stereo, then you can use it...

My advice is to use Pro-Tools or Reaper (good price!) instead, there you can use the proper 3D audio (multichannel) support we need.
