Thank you all for adding mixing for 7 channels in the latest update v5.00 build 2342.
It is working flawlessly for my purpose.
Cheers!

Hi jlmcr87, you could be looking for this setting:
Preferences -> Interface -> Skins -> Skins -> Show spectrum visualisation for playing file

Turning off visualisation reduced my CPU usage from 25% to 7.5%.
Turning off Windows 11 style as suggested by Artem reduced it further to 2.5%.

My CPU is an old i5-4690, however.

Hi ss.pl, thank you for looking into my query.

I have uploaded two files to the link you provided.
Both files are extracted from the same source.

a) 10. Be Yourself_full.flac:
This file has all 7 channels active.

b) 10. Be Yourself_isolate.flac
This file rotates through all the channels with only 1 channel active at a time and other channels muted.
Using this file I can hear that the mixing is correctly assigning Ch1 to left, Ch2 to right and Ch3 to left + right.
However, it is wrongly assigning Ch4 (LFE) to left and Ch5 (Center back) to right.
Ch6 and Ch7 seems to be correctly assigned to left and right respectively.

Furthermore, the custom remapping also offers volume adjustment for different channels which is a very powerful function.
The auto mixing seems to be soft to my liking, assuming it defaults to 25% - 50%.
I hope we can use custom remapping on 6.1 files too

Thank you Artem and sveakul for your replies.
The file I am playing is FLAC (encoded from WAV, if this helps).
I have attached a screenshot from MediaInfo showing the channels - L, R, C, LFE, C (back), L (side) and R (side).
I agree with sveakul that 6.1 may be a less common channel configuration, but would still be helpful to be able to custom remap the channels to the proper channels in stereo.

Вопросы / Questions / Custom Multi-Channel Remapping for 7 Channels

« on: October 12, 2021, 19:44:50 »

Hi all, is there a way I can remap 7 channels to stereo (basically 6.1 channels to stereo)?
I am using the desktop version v4.70 build 2254.

I have tried "Allow channels mixing - Channels remapping" but could not find any working template for 7 channels.
I have tried all the templates from "mono to stereo", "stereo to stereo", "quad to stereo", "5.1 to stereo" and "7.1 to stereo", and it does not seem to affect the sound.

Appreciate any answers. Thanks!

Вопросы / Questions / Re: ReplayGain analysis produces lower gain (softer volume) than before

« on: April 06, 2021, 17:51:16 »

Just tried installing AIMP v4.60.2180 and AIMP v4.51.2084 (both installed as portable) to try out the analysis:
1) AIMP v4.51.2084 - Produces same gain values as the values analysed before update
2) AIMP v4.60.2180 - Produces same gain values as the values analysed after update.

So, my guess, the culprit is AIMP v4.60, build 2153 where the changelog mentions "Sound Engine: replaygain - analysis quality has been improved". If so, I may have no choice but to reanalyse my library then.

Hi Artem, I am using both the Desktop and Mobile versions - Desktop - to analyse and listen; Mobile - to listen.
However, I am sorry I could not pinpoint exactly which version was it before updating.
A quick check on the program files on my computer, there were files as old as July 2019, perhaps it was version 4.6x before updating? Hope it helps.

Вопросы / Questions / ReplayGain analysis produces lower gain (softer volume) than before

« on: April 06, 2021, 16:55:41 »

Hi all, have been using AIMP for as long as I can remember and have been delaying its update for sometime (almost a year perhaps). Recently, after updating it, the ReplayGain analysis seems to produce gains with lower target volume than before updating:
1) I first notice it when playing albums analysed before updating and after updating in the same playlist. The difference in volume is very noticeable - albums analysed before updating played louder than those analysed after updating.
2) To be sure, I reanalysed a few albums which were analysed before updating and the new gains are indeed lower now - I am expecting it to be the same (or close) to the previously analysed values.

Before I reanalyse my library, may any kind souls enlighten me whether:
a) Are there settings which I may have missed or that the update may have reset which lead to this behaviour? or
b) Is there a change in the ReplayGain analysis algorithm and I have no choice but to reanalyse my library?

Thank you!
