2 ch. wav to 6 ch. mono wav, double speed

[ddawes]

I was using besweet 1.4 to turn a 2 channel stereo wav into a 6 channel mono wav for further encoding using either dts pro, or creative's audio creator. I am really just learning this stuff. Anyway, I was succesful with besweet, and I listened to a file, just one of the six, using creative media player, and the file was double speed. sounded like chipmunks. my source file was 16/44.1khz. I also have an x-fi elite pro soundcard with neo dts 6 and cmss 3d. I don't know yet how to utilize the neo dts 6 program. perhaps that's the place to convert the 2 ch. file? thanks.

You can use Neo:6 upmixing in non-realtime thru GraphEdit.
Just build a filter with your audio source + Creative Neo:6 Decoder DMO + Wav Dest + File Writer.
For CMSS 3D, you can record as multichannel WAV with your MediaSource player or thru ASIO with an ASIO capable audio app.

Cheers.

Thank you, sir. I'll give her a go...let you know the results later...

Been away. I haven't had much success with the GraphEdit program. I have been trying different combinations of things, and I either have the double speed, still or white noise. I'm still playing around with it, though. I'll post a log file at some point when I get frustrated enough. I've been all over the forum looking for this situation. Found 2 possibles, though these are for stereo going to mono. I'm unclear though if those instances are for six mono channels, or the one mono channel. I'll keep posting as I go.

How about using the Creative Player's record "What You Hear" function to record a 6-channel wave file of whatever you're playing back through the neo:6 upmixing. That would seem to be the easiest, although it's only possible to do so in real time, i.e., a 15-minute file will take 15 minutes to record as it plays back.

Creative´s MediaSource is bound by the 4GB max filesize limit of 32 bits header WAV files. In multichannel mode it will record to 96kHz 24bits X channels.
If you use a 5.1 output speaker config, the max output time will be of 20 min approx., it won't do for a movie-length audio track. With ASIO recording, that´s a different thing.

I'll be using creative's multichannel recording mode for what I need. Thanks for all of your advice.
