Sorry, you were right: the channel order is correct, I discovered it today, thank you!

I have two little OT questions: soft encode is a good AC3 encoder? I can't find out information on a good encoder (excluding ac3enc, wich I don't like). Another thing is: I have 6 mono wavs obtained from a 5.1 wav created by your process, and I need to normalize them individually with sound forge. So, when i choos process>normalize, then I want them at a certain average RMS level, not the standard -31. So, if I have, say, a wav file at -40 db, and I want it at -27, what should I choose in the normalize to slider? And what should I choose at the "if clipping occurs" option to have a better result? Finally, in the scan settings, excluding the "use equal loudness contour option", what other options should I use?

I'm very sorry to ask these things here, but in my topic nobody answered, and I see you're pretty good in audio treatment
