I have six RAW wav files from a SACD digital rip from the album "Miles Davis – Kind of Blue". Normally I load all the mono files into an audio editor to generate a single 5.1 multichannel file. Each of these raw mono files are 24-bit 88.2kHz.

I decided to try AudioMuxer’s (v0.9.2.1) ‘Merge Mono-Wavs to Wav or Flac’ feature. After running the tool and picking the ‘Select Files’ button, I navigated to the folder where I’ve stored the 6 mono files and then picked all of these files:

WHOLE ALBUM_C.wav
WHOLE ALBUM_FL.wav
WHOLE ALBUM_FR.wav
WHOLE ALBUM_LFE.wav
WHOLE ALBUM_Ls.wav
WHOLE ALBUM_Rs.wav

The tool seems to accept 4 files and it actually assigns them to the correct channel:

WHOLE ALBUM.wav | 4 Files
-- L EMPTY
-- R EMPTY
-- C WHOLE ALBUM_C.wav
-- Lfe WHOLE ALBUM_LFE.wav
-- Ls WHOLE ALBUM_Ls.wav
-- Rs WHOLE ALBUM_Rs.wav

However, for front left and front right, it brings up another dialog that lets me group them into another file. It will not let me group them with the other 4.

So now I end up with a group that shows L and R as empty and another group that shows C, Lfe, Ls and Rs as empty. There doesn’t seem to be any way to merge these together.

Otherfiles.wav | 2 Files
-- L WHOLE ALBUM_FL.wav
-- R WHOLE ALBUM_FR.wav
-- C EMPTY
-- Lfe EMPTY
-- Ls EMPTY
-- Rs EMPTY

Has anybody else tried this feature and can tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks

You can do 2 things, either you rename FL to L and FR to R, or you deselect the "Try to Automatically Identify Channels" option (such that you can order the files yourself). Look also to page 16-17-18 of the guide.
In the following release I will add FL and FR in the automatic identification selection list.

I've been having fun trying different things with AudioMuxer. I tried to Convert a DTS file to a down mixed 2 channel 16bit 44.1 khz FLAC file so I could burn a cd. Your GUI doesn't have a 44.1 khz option for "Eac3to". I had to use "Eac3to and more GUI" to complete this. Could this option be included in a future release?

Thanks again.

In the Google SurroundSound group arised a question if AudioMuxer can be improved to convert BD-audio tracks to individual (split) FLACs in one step.

I'm gonna try to explain myself (my english isn't good enough)

What I want to do is put several audio discs in one dvd (in a lossles format), putting images to the songs, and making a Menu where you could choose the different discs or songs. (I don´t know if this kind of things are DVD-A or DVD-V)
With this program I could put images to the songs, create a ISO file (with Video_ts and Audio_ts folders) and burn the proyect into a DVD, but I haven't been able to create a Menu where appears all the songs, to make a more easy way to play them.
Can I make this kind of proyects with Audiomuxer??
thanks
