Hello people!  
I’ve been building a soundtrack for a scene, and initially I thought 3D might be a good approach, but now I"m leaning more towards 2D. I thought just deleting the spatialiser on the Master channel was all I needed to do (as in, the only difference between 2D & 3D events was that spatialiser plugin being present or not…)

I think I may have underestimated the complexities of the 3D events… is there an easy way to change one’s mind and switch between these options?

=) Thanks!

An event is considered 3D if it has any of the following features:

- The event has a Spatializer, 3D Object Spatializer, or a 3rd party spatializer on its master track.
- The event contains an automatic parameter that depends on the event’s 3D attributes:
  - Distance
  - Event Cone Angle
  - Event Orientation
  - Direction
  - Elevation
  - Speed

- The event contains any nested events which are 3D.

If your event doesn’t contain any of the above then it will be considered 2D.
