Swap Left and Right Channels ...

[MourningStar]

... possible to do?

[Aminifu]

The Not So Neo Output Mixer v1.0.7 (out_neo.dll) plug-in not only lets you configure a left and right channel swap, it also lets you configure stereo input channels into 5.1 output channels. It also lets you increase or decrease the volume of the input and output channels and change the sample rate and bit-depth of the source channels.

I have been using it or various variations for years with Winamp and WACUP. It is based on the matrix mixer AC3Filter software. Read the info on this site (https://matrix-mixer.sourceforge.net/) for how to configure the matrix.

looks complicated. what do I do for the L-R swap?

[Aminifu]

The configuration can be as complicated or simple as you want. The simplest way to just swap channels is to set the mixing matrix on the Mixer panel as follows: enter 1.0 in the R column of the L' row, 1.0 in the L column of the R' row and 0 in all the other matrix boxes; and disable the Delays. Uncheck all the options on the Options panel, disable the AGC and set the output format to match that of your source files. You should set all the boxes on the Gains panel to 0 and disable the DRC.

I suggest you read how it works and experiment with different settings.

Oh, I forgot to mention that this output plug-in directs it's output to another output plug-in. I use the Not So Direct v1.7.11 (out_notsodirect.dll) plug-in.

thx, but too complicated and hassle. I need this function for a very few tunes. I want a simple for-dummies check-something to swap, un-check to unswap type solution and I had one all this time in the effects section of PEACE Equalizer, which is my system-wide sound shaper. cheers!

Ok, no problems. I have a 5.1 speaker system and wanted a custom way to direct the stereo channels to all my speakers.

Happy New Year!

Peace EQ also does this matrix up to 7.1 (in addition to having my for-dummies swap button). Since the Peace utility applies to all pc media it not only enhances all my media (audio & video) players but youtube, instagram, etc. and all other streaming sources (netfix, spotify, etc.) as well.


Happy New Year and all blessings to you and yours!

Hi,

Sounds like I need to look into the Peace EQ. The AC3Filter code is limited to 5.1. I have been holding back on moving to a 7.1 speaker system because of that. 

Thank you for mentioning it!

your most welcome - you will find these utilities also at sourceforge.
