Hi Urs,
Please don't give up on the topic!
I think it's great that some people have the energy to fight the neccasary
battle to improve things (in this case AU), it's just not me. I get too
worked up about it.
So, even though I have plenty of suggestions, I'll just keep them to myself
to be honest. I don't have room in my life for the battles it (in my
experience) brings along to mention them.
Now that we did not get these I want to see how your case pans out ;-)
Well, I just got off the phone with the client I'm doing this particular AU
for, and he agreed to support all the different configurations we might see
from publishing 1,1 1,2 and 2,2. That'll be 9 different processing functions
he will have to support if my calculations are correct (we both agreed that
having one "dynamic" processing function which can handle all cases is too
CPU intensive).
I'm currently faced with similar problems and what I'm gonna do is simply
taking the mono sum if I get an unwanted stereo configuration. Which is
probably not the best idea...
Yes, 1 thing is to decide to support it, another is to figure out what to
actually do with the data. And I agree, doing a mono of the stereo is
probably the best thing to do, except that we won't sum it, we'll average it
(which probaby is what you meant also).
The unwanted mono case is more simple of course.
Greets,
Michael Olsen
Anyway, you can see from the debate that BusCounts and Channels are
probably the most confusing (and most emotionally fought out) part of the
AU specs and there's still no sufficiently easy recipe to meet even common
cases such as yours or BJ's. But this may change if we find a good solution
for you that we can all live with.
Cheers,
;) Urs
