Component Detection

Audio streams that have multiple channels can be saved in two ways; alls channels into one file (called interleaved) or every channel into an individual ‘mono’ file. If the audio consists of multiple mono files, these files should indicate which channel the represent. You can change these indication tags manually. By default they’re as follows:

CHANNEL DEFAULT VALUE FILENAME
left .l
_L
_StL
filename.l.wav
filename_L.wav
filename_StL.wav
right .r
_R
_StR
filename.r.wav
filename_R.wav
filename_StR.wav
center .c
_C
filename.c.wav
filename_C.wav
LFE .lf
.lfe
_LF
_LFE
filename.lf.wav
filename.lfe.wav
filename_LF.wav
filename_LFE.wav
left surround .ls
_LS
filename.ls.wav
filename_LS.wav
right surround .rs
_RS
filename.rs.wav
filename_RS.wav

'Component detection' shows you the file name tags that will be detected to identify stereo/surround content in multiple mono files.

Here you can also add your own custom surround filename tags. Separate the tags by a colon sign (:).
