I've searched high and low for this, and I cannot find ANYWHERE, on how to get the "use custom mix (for example to export a 5.1 multichannel file)" option to appear on Audacity. I do have surround system built in my computer, I do have Dolby 5.1 Surround System drivers, and YET it doesn't appear. I have LAME built in as well as the FFMPEG set-up, and the latest 3.0.0 Audacity.
I just wanted to try and separate music from dialogue on a certain scene of mine or at least TRY to do that, but I can't even find a program that has this capability, and when I realized Audacity has surround system editing capabilities, I thought "oh maybe this might work" nope, it hasn't, because I don't have the option listed on Audacity.
