If I missed the question in the archives please forgive me.
Am I correct in thinking that, if I produce a piece of audio in my DAW utilizing Dolby 5.1, it will still retain the surround sound features whether I output the file as .wav or .mp3? (I understand that .wav is uncompressed and .mp3 is compressed/lossy). I just wanted to be sure that the file type I output to is not the deciding factor of the Dolby 5.1 effect/quality, but rather the way I master and bounce down the track.
