With Downmix selected, all audio outputs in your sequence are output as stereo
whenever they’re played back, output to tape, or written to a movie file.
You can turn Downmix off at any time and your audio will be output to multiple
channels again. This is much more convenient than reassigning all of your tracks to a
single stereo channel and then reassigning your tracks to multiple outputs again.
