Surely I did something wrong since both output a file with
..well one surround was like a phantom effect - very very quiet
, the other surround was loud as the front. Rest were normal
sounding. Might this have something to do with also my program
not having a recognizable 5.01 to WXYZ_O plugin . The bidule still didn't recognize it after installing and I chose to replace it from the list (I have it installed), and I tested each of the three settings and always got the same oddly quiet rear.

What am I doing wrong :S ?

Sorry to take so long getting back to you on your question concerning the bidules I posted. First of all I would like to comment that you can forget V3, after additional testing and modification I still haven't got it to work to my satisfaction.

Now back to the other question....if your progam doesn't recognize the 5.01 to WXYZ_O plugin, you will not the proper result, since the majority of the imformation comes from that side of the chain. And yes the besweet command line is the usual one. I would suggest testing the ambi_1.5.bidule first. If you get this one working... mine should work as well.

Hope this helps a bit.

Cheers,
