Getting multichannel audio ready for immersive mixing is like laying a proper foundation for a 3D soundstage. You carefully route each discrete channel—whether it's 5.1, 7.1, or Dolby Atmos beds—into your DAW, check phase coherence, and set correct panning laws. It's tedious but crucial, because bad routing or gain staging will mess up the spatial illusion before you even start moving sounds around the room.
