Mike Pinkerton Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I have a CD that was mixed....poorly: the right and left channels are reversed. How do I know? It's a live album and the musicians on stage are reversed from the video (and the previous 20 years of live albums from this band). It really takes away from my enjoyment of the disc. What options are available to fix the FLAC I've ripped from this CD. I'm ok with either offline to flip the channels in the FLAC file, or in real time at playback (hopefully Roon). -mike Link to comment
astrotoy Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Izotope RX (I think any version) will reverse channels very easily. Not sure whether you can get a trial version for free. If you can't find some software that does, you can always switch your left and right cables when you play that album. If you get desperate, I can switch channels for you if you send me a jump drive.

mansr Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 SoX will do that readily. If you prefer a GUI, it's a simple task in Audacity, which is also free. Link to comment
Mike Pinkerton Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 I know how to do it in LogicPro, but it's a double-album with 20+ tracks and will take a lot of work. I was hoping for something I could drag and drop if I had to do it offline. Link to comment
Jay-dub Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Use SoX with a script to automate the task over all files in the directory. Link to comment
Mike Pinkerton Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Use SoX with a script to automate the task over all files in the directory. YES! SoX was what i was looking for. Thank you!!!! Are there any realtime player solutions (ie, it reads an ID3 tag and knows to just do the swap on the fly)? Link to comment
Mike Pinkerton Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hrm, SoX doesn't preserve album art. How weird. Link to comment
mansr Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hrm, SoX doesn't preserve album art. How weird. Not really, it's just that nobody has bothered adding that feature. It shouldn't be terribly hard to do though. Link to comment
zackthedog Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 YES! SoX was what i was looking for. Thank you!!!! Are there any realtime player solutions (ie, it reads an ID3 tag and knows to just do the swap on the fly)? I think Foobar will do it with a DSP plugin, and I'm pretty sure JRiver MC will do it. But I may be misremembering. Link to comment
Matt Ashland Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'm pretty sure JRiver MC will do it Just open the DSP Studio > Parametric Equalizer > Add > Order channels... > And just drag the channels into whatever order you want. And of course turn the Parametric Equalizer on and the order channels effect on. If you wanted to get fancy, you could save that DSP profile as one and save a normal one as another one. Then set the DSP tag for the files so it would automatically load the right profile. Matt Ashland, JRiver Link to comment
vladimirb0b Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 In Foobar2000 go to preferences -> DSP manager and add "Reverse stereo channels" to the Active DSP list. Link to comment
