Sony Vegas and importing multichannel audio

[poisondeathray]

Wow, you guys are gonna love me. I tried the CLI method and couldn't get that to work, either.

I must be a moron. LOL...

ok, you have eac3folder unzipped somewhere , I'm going to call it "PATH1", but it might be something like "G:\folder\eac3to327"

you have a folder full of these 4ch wav's , open a command prompt in the destination folder where the wavs are and enter the command line (replace "PATH1" with the real path of where eac3to is)

(before you test this, just put in 2 or 3 wavs, before you do the whole bunch, just to test to see if it works ok first and get the "hang of it" - it works ok here)

for %a in ("*.wav") do "PATH1\eac3to.exe" "%a" "%~na.wavs"

I can import them into Vegas Movie Studio as 24 bit individual wavs, which I have been doing. Just not import 24 bit multichannel wavs. It will render in 16 bit though.

Is that what you meant, can't import 24 bit multichannel?

Yes vegas pro imports the multichannel wavs without a problem.

Can 16 bit audio be multichannel? I'm told in Audacity that I have to save my 4 multichannel wav in stereo.

If it can be, how?

Thanks again.

edit => preferences => import/export => use custom mix

(otherwise default is mixdown to stereo output)
