New to MMH. I downloaded latest 8 beta and I extracted some wav files from mkv files. I used the tag feature to input tag info into them.

I later tried to use the mp3tag freeware I normally use to add cover art to these converted wavs but mp3tag was unable to write any new tags to these MMH converted files. I also tried using MMH converted files that were not tagged by MMH with the same result.

I have been using mp3tag to tag hundreds of files without a hitch. I tried Mp3tag on other wav files I had previously ripped and the program worked fine with them.

Also, when I load the converted wavs that were tagged by MMH into mp3tag, I could not see any of the tag info.

The MMH converted files seem to play OK. Just wondering why, the MMH converted wav files seem to be incompatible with mp3tag?

Use FLAC. WAV files aren't universally supported for tagging.

No idea except if your files are > 2GB? Can you provide more info? Were these split into chapters etc?
 
I am trying out the channel volume tool. A little unsure about the math needed to use gain function properly.

In the attached image I have Door's Break on Through to the Other Side.wav. The rears are almost non-existent and I want to raise their volume.

Questions are: raise gain relative to peak or rms values? I presume left rear to left front, right rear to right front?

If as noted, rears should be 3 dbs lower than fronts, using rms value, I figure gain would be 11.06 dbs gain for left rear and would be 9.74 dbs for right rear?

Using peak value, gain would be different for both rears. Any clarification would be helpful. Thanks.

Use RMS values but never increase so the peak reaches 0 (causing clipping).

You should also verify by listening. You may decide to alter the levels further. Personally I think the ‘-3db for surrounds’ rule can be broken. I like my rears to be clearly heard rather than buried. Depending on what’s in the rears you can often match fronts and rear levels IMO.
