Needed software:
(latest versions may be found at: needfullthings.webhop.org)

Check all options when insatlling Foobar2000 so that all components get installed!

Steps to separate into 6 mono WAVs:

  1. Applay Step one only if errors occur!:
    Only use BeSliced or DTS-parser to correct the DTS stream (->Fix File).
    Hopefully you'll get a fixed .DTS file.
  2. If your filenames end with ".WAV" you've to rename them to ".DTS" extension else Foobar won't recognise DTSWAV as DTS track
  3. In the Foobar2000 Diskwriter settings check and activate: Processing "use DSP" and "Don't reset DSP between files"
     

     
  4. click on "go to DSP settings" and remove all filters.
  5. If a change of the sampling frequency from 44.1KHz to 48KHz (e.g. CD->DVD) or the other way round has to be done, then insert the "Resampler" SSRC filter and configure it. Else don't insert it!
    If the destination should not be multichannel then insert the "Convert 5.1 to stereo" filter
    (Note: The frequency change may also be done later with BeSweet
    Standard frequencies are: DVD 48KHz, CD 44,KHz.
     

  6. DTS to multichannel WAV conversion (Floating or Fixed Point possible)
     

     

     
     
  7. Separation of the multichannel Wave with BeSweet
    Use one of the mentioned GUIs (see figures below) or with the commandline
     
    If a frequency change is needed that you haven't already done with Foobar2000 now you can use BeSweet and SSRC for that task
    DVD->CD 48Khz->44,1KHz
    CD->DVD 44,1KHz->48KHz
    Set up SSRC in the GUI or use append the following to the commandline: "-ssrc( --rate 44100 )" od. "-ssrc ( --rate 48000 )"

    Commandline for 32 Bit Float WAVs:

    BeSweet -core( -input "mehrkanal-wav.wav" -output "mehrkanal-wav-neu-" -6chfloat -logfile "BeSweet.log" )
     
    Commandline for 16 Bit fixed WAVs:
     
    BeSweet -core( -input "mehrkanal-wav.wav" -output "mehrkanal-wav-neu-" -6ch -logfile "BeSweet.log" )

     

    Use of BeSweet:

    -start BeSweetGUI and choose the multichannel WAV as input
    -as output choose "PCM (Wave / AIFF)"
    -click "AC3/OGG/PCM"
    -"Wave" and "32Bit (Six) Mono Waves" or "16Bit (Six) Mono Waves"

    Advice:
    Better quality: 32 Bit mono Waves
    Better compatibility: 16 Bit mono Waves

    If you encounter problems in the further processing of the wave files you should use the 16Bit mono Wave file format. Some programs have problems processing 32 bit Wave files.

    -click on "WAV to WAV" to start the separation
     

     
    You get 6 mono Wave files.
    These can be used for processing or any external AC3/DTS encoder.
