I guess this is a windows issue because on my mac I sure can ! Cronox, Absynth, Reaktor 5, Darbuka and others (even a multi out plug like mTonic or Sampletank. I direct them where I want them. I am also in 4.1 (no center) and use 1 return track as my control for the rear speakers (since they took away my MIX BUSS VIEW !?!?!) works fine.gaspode wrote:Nope, when you load a plugin in live, all you can do is get access to the first 2 channels of audio output.

Awesome stuff you're describing! My dream is to set up that type of surround gigs with live music. I'm a musician more than a DJ.
I think in Windows VST is only 2 channel but anyone could check by taking an Audio Track selecting input from a midi track with a multi out plugin and see if the second drop down I/O menu allows you to point to 'aux' channels of the said plugin. I know on Mac you have the option of instantiating 'surround' version or 'stereo' version of some of the mentioned plugins.
