Couldn't you do this in Soundforge 9? It will open and save multichannel WAV files...
If you don't have SF maybe someone close to you does...
Good luck,
Joe
So I could open the multichannel wav, delete the 4 channel and retain the multichannel wav format? This sounds ideal.
FWIW, Soundfield also told how to do it in Nuendo. Here's their response.
Create a Nuendo project.
Go to Devices/VST connections and select the Group/FX tab. From here
create an FX bus in 5.1 format. A new bus called FX 1 will be shown
in this window. Right-click on where FX 1 is shown and a menu should
appear that says (amongst other things) 'Add Child bus to FX 1'.
Click on this option and select 'Add all mono child bus to FX 1'. You
should now see the individual surround channels listed below FX1.
I've attached a screen shot to show this.
Close the VST connections window and you can now insert the
Surround Zone into the FX 1 bus. The FX 1 bus output can then be
routed to a 5.1 output.
Create three mono audio tracks from the W, X, and Y wavs.
On each of these 3 tracks, go to the output routing and you can now
choose to route the W track to FX 1 Left channel, the X track to FX 1
Right and the Y channel to FX 1 Center. This then connects W, X and Y
to the correct inputs on the SurroundZone, leaving Z unconnected.
