Hey guys!
Sorry if this question has already been answered elsewhere, I've just searched far and wide to no avail.
I’m finally far along enough my "Wolverine" edit to start working with the 5.1 Mix soon. This was primarily stopped me from making any real progress last time. (to clarify, I’ll know how to mix in 5.1 in Davinci Resolve once I actually have the files; it’s GETTING those Wav files, from the 5.1 Mix, that’s the actual problem). Right now, I’ve extracted the 5.1 Mix with tsMuxerGUI as a single .dts file… the problem is, that’s obviously not a file type audacity can open (at least on a Mac). I’ve gone in circles trying to figure out how to split it into individual mono wavs to no avail, usually getting recommended to “just do it with ffmpeg.”
At risk of sounding like Dr. Bones McCoy, I'm a professional editor NOT a programmer. Considering I’m not a programmer, and have therefore never once successfully converted anything with ffmpeg and probably couldn’t no matter how hard I tried, I’m actively seeking to avoid using it for this conversion. I’ve installed it, reinstalled it, even reinstalled homebrew, and all of it has been fruitless. So I’m done wasting my time going in circles, because I cannot possibly make that software work.
This is literally the only major technical issue I've run into whilst making this edit, and every time it happens it brings the entire project to a screeching halt. If ffmpeg is truly the only possible way to do this on a mac, then unfortunately that probably means that I simply won't be able to release this edit with a 5.1 Mix and will have to settle for stereo. I would hate to go that route, since I actually know HOW to mix in 5.1, the only issue is getting the 6 .wavs from a .dts file. I’ve heard about “AudioMuxer,” which I believe is available for Mac. Any editors here experienced with it? Any other much simpler solutions to this problem, available on a Mac, worth mentioning?
I appreciate any help offered
