NAME

       convert4chan  -  is  a utility for converting pairs of stereo impulse response files to to a single 'True
       Stereo' 4-channel files.
       ir.lv2 - LV2 IR reverb plugin supports these so-called 'True Stereo' impulses.

USAGE

       convert4chan /path/to/impulses/directory

       or

       cd /path/to/impulses/directory and run convert4chan

DESCRIPTION

       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.

       ´True  Stereo'  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.wav
       root/somewhere/somethingR.wav

       and convert them to:

       root/somewhere/something4.wav

       convert4chan 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.)
