Hi Tebasuna51-
I've tried the parameters you supplied with just - %d with no luck. I've also tried all the versions of aften.exe on the kurtnoise site as well. Which version of aften.exe should I be using? Thanks for your help. cap |

Kurtnoise's builds don't support pipes (rev521), so use Wisodev's builds. i'm using the SSE3_MT build, it works fine.

With Windows Vista Home Basic (32 bits) rev521 don't work in pipe or command line mode.
All Wisodev v0.07 32bits versions works for me with a Pentium Dual Core. Last edited by tebasuna51; 12th June 2007 at 13:20. |

Ok, problem solved...I'v been using graphedit+ffdshow to upmix my audio streams, but this method produce much better surrond sound (with tuned Aften's options, off course)
Thanks again to you & ursamlt for this great guide. |

@tebasuna51
Havent followed this thread in a while and just though I would check it since there is a new version of foobar out. WOW...a 6 channel vst hosting option....Fantastic. I had been using the ATsurround plugin but I think this is probably better. Thanks BTW... If anyone is interested, there is a vst host plugin for the free Audacity sound editor Links is http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help...em=vst-enabler |

Hi,
This surround conversion is pretty neat. However I am having trouble getting LFE signal from the resulting AC3 files. I don't know if it's the conversion process or the audio driver I'm using (BASS library with bass_ac3.dll). For conversion I used the foo_channel_mixer, the VST bridge, VI.dll surround converter, and AFTEN x86 for the encoding. Everything sounds great except for no LFE. If I am doing something wrong on the conversion or have to set up VI or Aften differently to get LFE, please let me know. However I've tried sample AC3 files from others and don't hear any LFE from them either. Or, if you think it's my playback system and can send me an AC3 sample audio clip with a clear and loud LFE channel on it, I'll try it out on our PA system to see what it does. (Fyi, the PA plays 6 channel WMA just fine, LFE works great.) Alternately, if AC3 is problematic in this area and there is a 6 channel WMA encoder, I'll take that as an option Thanks.

Sorry for bumping an old thread. I just tried this alternative and found that it sounds pretty good. But I noticed that for a certain song, there's a noticeable clipping in the surround and it sounds blarey. The original was a FLAC file and was not like this. In foobar, I used the Advanced Limiter but it didn't do much. Is there a way to limit it?
Also, did anyone else have problems for certain songs with lots of choruses where the main vocal is coming from all the speakers rather than primarily the front? It sounds more like a concert hall effect than 5.1. I know there is a certain limit since we're converting stereo to surround but do the V.I. settings help in pushing the main vocals to the center channel more? |

Foobar2000 v0943 method
I havent been around the forums much due to real life. I was pleasantly surprised to find this old post.
The links to download the install files for the Foobar2000 v0943 method by Tebasuna are not all working. If anyone would like the install files (which will take a little digging and experimenting with on the net) please PM or email mail me at: newhaven1074@yahoo.com. I have loved this method since its inception many years ago. Special thanks to Steve Thomson & Tebasuna for this wonderful thread!! Newhaven |

Now there are a better VST plugin for Foobar2000, the foo_channel_mixer is not needed now and is more easy to configure.
Tested with last Foobar2000 v1.2.9 a) INSTALL - Foobar2000 v1.2.9 - V.I Suite version 1.11 Installer (Remember the installation folder, C2) (Temporal link) - VST 2.4 adapter (foo_vst). Uncompress the .dll in ...\Foobar2000\components folder. - Aften (obsolete use now ffmpeg) Ac3 free encoder. Uncompress Aften.exe in any folder, for instance in G:\St_Surr (C1). b) CONFIGURE - Foobar2000, in File -> Preferences -> Components -> VST plug-ins -> Add -> C2\VI.dll. - Configure Aften encoder like before with: Mouse right click over a track -> Convert -> ... -> Convert Setup -> Output format -> Add new -> Encoder -> Custom... c) PROCESS Open a stereo file in any format supported by Foobar and: 1) Mouse right click and Convert -> ... to open 'Convert Setup' 2) In 'Convert Setup' -> Output format -> select AC3 (AFTEN) directly, select Destination and click in Procesing to open DSP Settings. 3) Active the VI plugin and click in Configure Selected. 4) The V.I settings are explained already. 5) Now there are a new option, the output channels, put always '6' (when LFE is not checked the LFE channel is empty but always present).

I'm sorry, but I just don't get it... some screen shots may be missing from previous posts, as I in the link http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...707#post991707 I see no screen in b) Configure after "... and fill this screen:" also, I don't see where "4) The V.I settings are explained already."
I apologize for nagging, but after weeks of doing a ton of Google searches on a project, my mind is completely shot, and I just can't find where things are "explained"... so please don't be angry I also apologize, as this is my first post on doom9, after quite a bit of lurking around and assimilating information -- which has always been a lot of help, so thank you all... |
