Title: How to get JRiver to stereo downmix with LFE?
Post by: BCZ on October 31, 2020, 03:06:25 am

I read a couple of threads where Matt says JRiver downmixes stereo with LFE and at +10dB as well. This is what I want. But I noticed that JRiver discards LFE when doing a stereo downmix. I used this file to test

I have output format enabled. Under channels, I choose 2 channels. Center at 0dB. And JRSS mixing.

If I disable output format, then LFE is actually included in the downmix, but not at +10dB. In fact, it seems to be at -3dB (judging by ear) because MPC-HC's downmix at 0dB sounds louder.

What am I missing to get the correct stereo downmix with +10dB LFE, and bonus, with no clipping? (I know it'll be really quiet)

Thanks
