Every file format has a different internal channel ordering. The following table gives this internal ordering for some formats (useful for plugin writers), but it is the decoder's task to return the expected channel order. If you use decoders like [[NicAudio]]/[[BassAudio]] or [[Ffdshow|ffdshow]]/[http://www.ac3filter.net/ AC3Filter] you don't need to worry about this.

GetChannel(clip clip, int ch1 [, int ch2, ...] )
GetChannels(clip clip, int ch1 [, int ch2, ...] )
GetLeftChannel(clip clip)
GetRightChannel(clip clip)

  • GetChannel returns one or more channels of a multichannel signal.
  • GetLeftChannel returns the left channel from a stereo signal, and GetRightChannel returns the right.
  • GetChannels is an alias for GetChannel and can be used interchangeably.


The ordering of the channels is determined by the ordering of the input file, because AviSynth doesn't assume any ordering (see Remarks).

In case of WAV files, the ordering should be as follows:

  WAV, 2 channels (stereo) 
1 left
2 right
  WAV, 5.1 channels 
1 front left
2 front right
3 front center
4 LFE (Low Frequency Enhancement; Subwoofer)
5 rear left
6 rear right


Remarks

Every file format has a different internal channel ordering. The following table gives this internal ordering for some formats (useful for plugin writers), but it is the decoder's task to return the expected channel order. If you use decoders like NicAudio/BassAudio or ffdshow/AC3Filter you don't need to worry about this.

Format Channel 1 Channel 2 Channel 3 Channel 4 Channel 5 Channel 6
5.1 WAV front left front right front center  LFE rear left rear right
5.1 AC3 front left front center  front right rear left rear right  LFE
5.1 DTS ¹ front center  front left front right rear left rear right LFE
5.1 AAC ² front center  front left front right rear left rear right LFE
5.1 AIFF front left rear left front center  front right  rear right LFE
5.1 FLAC front left front right front center  LFE rear left rear right 
5.1 WMA   front left front right front center  LFE rear left rear right 

¹ 5.1 DTS: the LFE is on a separate stream (much like on multichannel MPEG2).
² There is no free version of the AAC specification available online.


Examples

  • Get mono audio from left channel of a WAV file,

and dub to video from AVI: 

video = AviSource("c:\video.avi")
stereo = WavSource("c:\audio2ch.wav")
mono = GetLeftChannel(stereo)
return AudioDub(video, mono)
  • Do the same, alternate syntax: 
video = AviSource("c:\video.avi")
stereo = WavSource("c:\audio2ch.wav")
mono = GetChannel(stereo, 1)
return AudioDub(video, mono)
  • Do the same with the audio channels from the AVI file itself: 
video = AviSource("c:\video+audio2ch.avi")
return GetChannel(video, 1)
  • Convert AVI with 5.1 audio to stereo (copy front left and front right)

(But see Remarks for channel ordering, and examples below and here for more complex downmix functions.) 

video = AviSource("c:\video+audio6ch.avi")
stereo = GetChannel(video, 1, 2)
return AudioDub(video, stereo)
  • Get front left and front right audio from a 5.1 AVI: 
video = AviSource("c:\video+audio6ch.avi")
audio = WavSource("c:\video+audio6ch.avi")
stereo = GetChannel(audio, 1, 2)
return AudioDub(video, stereo)
  • Mix 5.1 to stereo - see discussion here.

Note returned audio has sample type Float.
Normalize is recommended before converting to 16-bit to avoid possible overload. 

AviSource("c:\video+audio6ch.avi")
DownMix
Normalize
ConvertAudioTo16bit
return Last
function DownMix(clip a, 
\     float "centergain", float "surroundgain")
{
   a.ConvertAudioToFloat

   ## 5.1 WAV channel layout:
   fl = GetChannel(1)
   fr = GetChannel(2)
   fc = GetChannel(3)
   lf = GetChannel(4) ## (LFE not used)
   sl = GetChannel(5)
   sr = GetChannel(6)

   ## add center
   gc = Default(centergain, 1.0) * 0.7071
   fl = MixAudio(fl, fc, 1.0, gc)
   fr = MixAudio(fr, fc, 1.0, gc)

   ## add surround
   gs = Default(surroundgain, 1.0) * 0.7071
   fl = MixAudio(fl, sl, 1.0, gs)
   fr = MixAudio(fr, sr, 1.0, gs)

   return AudioDub(a, MergeChannels(fl, fr))
}
