With the GUI you can't but iirc there is an Aften build patched somewhere in Aften's thread that supports 6 mono wav files as input...

...& can you help me find it please, thank you.

here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=881196#post881196) but it seems that's the 0.5 version.

Give me few seconds to create a new build against the last svn...

Im waiting anxiosly. Thanks Alot !

Too bad, it doesn't work properly. No time yet to spend some time on this. Sorry...

...I only hope someday you will finish it, good luck. Atleast 0.05 works I guess ill have to use that at the moment.

After the next release I'll also revisit this feature request. I've been horribly busy recently with a new job and other projects. As soon as I get some spare time I will release a new version of Aften from the latest SVN, which has not had any bug reports in a while. Then I'll start planning which features to add first.

I can probably implement something for multiple-file mono input without much trouble. The hard part is deciding on a good commandline syntax. I really don't care for using predefined filenames like in the above-mentioned patch. Right now I'm considering using separate input switches, something like:
aften -il left.wav -ir right.wav -ic center.wav -ils leftsur.wav -irs rightsur.wav -ilfe lfe.wav [options] output-6ch.ac3

I might even create an extension to the wav reader to do multichannel interleaving...maybe. :)

Don't forget some adjust in DRC like I say you in this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=893111#post893111).

Also the problem in Mid/Side stereo (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=943280#post943280) is live for me. Using a stereo test channel we can hear the Right channel in Left channel and vice versa (3%)

Hmm. I honestly thought that was fixed. Another good reason to get my ass in gear and finish up the frame analyzer so I can compare results to professional encoders. Can you give a detailed example of how to duplicate the problem?

In this compressed file (http://www.mytempdir.com/1299295) there are:
Stereo_Test.wav : the wav source
ST_Aften_IS.ac3 : encoded with Aften rev475 Independent Stereo
ST_Aften_MS.ac3 : encoded with Aften rev475 Mid/Side
ST_SoftEncode.ac3 : encoded with Sonic Foundry SoftEncode

If you listen/decode ST_Aften_MS.ac3 you can see:
3% of FR in FL
1% of FL in FR

With Independent Stereo or using SoftEncode (without way to select IndependentStereo or Mid/Side) not exist this problem.
