convert4chan is not itself a generally useful program, but just a utility with very limited scope, Error
checking is limited; you are not supposed to run convert4chan on your / .
You can use it to convert a full directory tree of stereo impulse response files with similar names that
end with L.wav and R.wav to 'True Stereo' format, while your original files in directory stay untouched
and can be later used as impulses as well.
´TrueStereo' impulses are four channel impulses that describe a full convolution matrix (the four
channels contain, in order, the convolution paths L->L, L->R, R->L, R->R).
convert4chan searching for stereo files named:
root/somewhere/somethingL.wavroot/somewhere/somethingR.wav
and convert them to:
root/somewhere/something4.wavconvert4chan supports filenames ending in .wav by design, but it is possible that in future will supports
other audio formats too (It could all audio formats supported by libsndfile in theory.)
