LPCM 5.1?

How do you make these files? or is there even any software to the public for doing this?

Sony Vegas(even the lower-end Vegas Movie Studio Platinum) is capable of outputing 5.1 PCM wav files.  I think Adobe Premiere can do that too.

I tried in Vegas already and it does the same thing to me as my other issue, the front left and right channels are made identical to the center and the surround left and right are like amped up, so Vegas sux in this department, or I am doing something wrong, which could very well be, I was hoping someone here has done this and can be more specific on how.

Even with all the crap that Adywan is dealing with right now I'm sure he'd be willing to give you a few pointers if you were to give him a PM....

I did give him a PM last week and it was read but no response.

What are you using the PCM 5.1 for?  It'd be useless for anything but a Blu-Ray, if I'm not mistaken.  Or perhaps a DVD-Audio.

It is for Blu-ray, I was going to make it 1 of the options on my new Return of The Living Dead "Original" audio project.

Ah, gotcha.  Well, it's really only worth doing if you're coming from an uncompressed source, or a source that has a higher bitrate than Dolby Digital or DTS would.

Thanks Ady I will give it another shot.

OK I think it worked, I loaded the LPCM 5.1 wav64 back into Vegas when done and it looked a little different but I will see how it sounds.
