Music Media Helper (Tools for Multichannel Audio & Music Videos)

Yes. M4A is simply a container.

Indeed... And is it re-muxed from .mkv to .mp4/.m4a using FFmpeg or a different .mp4 muxer?

 

[HomerJAU]

MMH uses ffmpeg

I use MMH Extract Audio from MKV feature. Yes, FFmpeg.

Just a casual reminder... what HomerJAU is doing for us all here is legendary and, dare I say, life changing for our enjoyment of multi channel music. Cheers!

I haven't kept up for awhile, so sorry if its answered; I did scan the latest pdf but didn't see an answer.

I know that MMH can fix inversions and delays, but can it detect them in multichannel files?

No detection. Only manual fixing. I’m not sure how auto detection could be done.

 

[ssully]

Me neither. Of the two, I'd think 100% phase inversion of a track versus others would be easier to detect. But don't ask me how.
