Hi
I have 6 mono wav. files to make an .ac3 from.
I got those results in sounf forge:

* Merging the front left/right channels into streo file an
checking the rms gives: -29.8 DB.
* Merging the surround left/right channels into streo file an
checking the rms gives: -34.5 DB.
* Checking the rms of the center channel gives: -34.4 DB.

How could I know the right value to put in the dialog normalization
according to these results?

Thank You
