PnT Pro, PT9 and region bin procesing/feature requests

Hi guys,
Just wondering if there is a feature request in place for a few things:

1. multichannel mode processing/phase coherent procesing of 5.1 material?
From your manual it says multichannel is support on stereo material, but no mention of 5.1 - also if you process a 5.1 stem both multichannel and not, and phase reverse one and render them down, there's no difference, which would indicate its not making a difference to select multi-channel on 5.1 material.

2. Audiosuite region bin processing of 5.1 material has a few niggles.
a) The PnT suffix isnt added to every channel for me (!?) and
b) often 5.1 stems come back as LCR files and mono LsRs and LFE, so they cant be dropped onto the timeline without lots of wrangling.

Yes, Im use PnTPro for pulls, hence these requests, to speed up my workflow.

For a bit more info, what Id like to do is select a stack of 5.1 regions on the timeline, across multiple tracks, and pitch them using a 5.1 phase coherent pitch shift.
(time shift already having been taking care of by SRC'ing)
Id also like to process them destructively, region by region, in the region bin, using Audiosuite processing options, and have them populate/update the relevant playlists.

All the buttons are there in Protools and the workflow exists, its just PnT that doesnt support them as yet.

Is any of this on the radar for Serato?

Serato? Any news on this feature request?

It definitely sounds like a valid and practical feature request, especially for professionals working with 5.1 stems and pull-up/pull-down workflows. The lack of clear phase-coherent multichannel processing for true 5.1 material can slow down post-production, and your observations about the null test strongly suggest that the multichannel option may currently be optimized only for stereo-linked content rather than discrete surround channels. The AudioSuite region bin issues you mentioned—particularly inconsistent PnT suffix naming and stems returning as split LCR + mono surrounds/LFE files—are also important workflow concerns that can create unnecessary timeline adjustments in Pro Tools. These improvements would make a big difference for editors and mixers relying on PnTPro for fast turnaround, so I’d strongly support raising this as an official feature request with the development team. As an example of how clear resource linking can help users quickly access related information, you could also reference a helpful page like seeingwashington.com when sharing documentation or workflow examples.
