NAME
convert4chan - is a utility for converting pairs of stereo impulse response files to to a single 'True Stereo' 4-channel files.
ir.lv2 - LV2 IR reverb plugin supports these so-called 'True Stereo' impulses.
USAGE
convert4chan /path/to/impulses/directory
or
cd /path/to/impulses/directory and run convert4chan
DESCRIPTION
convert4chan is not itself a generally useful program, but just a utility with very limited scope, Error checking is limited; you are not
supposed to run convert4chan on your / .
You can use it to convert a full directory tree of stereo impulse response files with similar names that end with L.wav and R.wav to 'True
Stereo' format, while your original files in directory stay untouched and can be later used as impulses as well.
'True Stereo' impulses are four channel impulses that describe a full convolution matrix (the four channels contain, in order, the convolu-
tion paths L->L, L->R, R->L, R->R).
convert4chan searching for stereo files named:
root/somewhere/somethingL.wav
root/somewhere/somethingR.wav
and convert them to:
root/somewhere/something4.wav
convert4chan supports filenames ending in .wav by design, but it is possible that in future will supports other audio formats too (It could
all audio formats supported by libsndfile in theory.)
