Sony Sound Forge Determine which channel is what

[jriker1]

I have a two channel WAV file opened in Sound Forge 9. So 1 and 2 blue and in use. I can play these two independently and see which one is left and right, but even that is not readily apparent. I set the project to 5.1 so now have 3 and 4 in pink and 5 and 6 in yellow for future audio containers.

I use V.I. Suite to make this 5.1. So now 1,2,3,4,5,6 all have some level of audio in them. So I can tell which is left and right between 1,2 and 3,4 and 5,6, however how do you determine which is front right/left, center, read right/left annd LFE?

Is there something I'm visually missing in Sound Forge that tells you what is what?

Thanks.

Typically the order is:
1 = left
2= right
3 = center
4= left rear
5 = right rear
6 = LFE

Typically the order is:
1 = left
2= right
3 = center
4= left rear
5 = right rear
6 = LFE

Definitely not the case here as using your numbers, 4 has the smallest amount of data so that's probably LFE. I am using the V.I. Suite tools to create 5.1 out of 2.0 so not sure if that helps. Not sure if it populates Sound Forge in a certain order or what.

Sony Sound Forge 9 and with V.I Suite:

Track 1 = FL
Track 2 = FR
Track 3 = Center
Track 4 = LFE
Track 5 = SL
Track 6 = SR

With SRS Circle Surround:


Track 1 = FL
Track 2 = FR
Track 3 = Center
Track 4 = Center Back
Track 5 = SL
Track 6 = SR
Track 7 = LFE
