Hi -

I have a number of multi-channel files (8 tracks each) and I'd like to mix them in Audition's Multitrack mode.

Unfortunately, when I start a new Multitrack project, I only have options for mono, stereo, and 5.1 editing.

Is there a solution for this?

Thanks.

Those options are for the output format of your file, not the number of channels or tracks in it - you can add as many of those as you want. Go to Multitrack>Track, and you'll get options to add as many tracks as you need.

Thank you for the suggestion - I'm sorry if I was unclear -but I don't need additional tracks, I need to be able to edit multichannel audio files in their original 8-channels formats. I have an 8-channel speaker setup and I'm trying to design sound for it.

I'm afraid that's not possible in multitrack at present - the only output options are the ones you've already seen, which limit you to six channels. Opening eight-channel files in Multitrack works fine, but there are no options for processing them right through and outputting them in the same format at present.

Presently, the only way possible to do any editing at all of 8-channel files would be to do it in Waveform view. You can open them in it directly, append and cut them, and then save them in the same format without any real difficulty. The only thing you have to do that's important is to make one change to the save settings, as in this screen-grab:

Where it says Channels, make sure this is set to 'same as source', and then you'll get edited files in the same format as the input files.
