Trying to convert .aix to mp3 in foobar by Zeether at 3:20 PM EDT on June 9, 2014
I've been trying to convert some .aix files to mp3 in foobar2000 from Sega GT 2002 and it keeps giving me the error "Conversion failed: The encoder has terminated prematurely with code 1 (0x00000001); please re-check parameters". I googled this but all that comes up is stuff about channels and that doesn't seem to help fix it.
For those who might be interested in helping to debug this, it's probably the case that there are > 2 channels in these files, which is the main reason AIX was used. I don't know anything about how to get that downmixed for foobar, though.
You may instead wish to opt for the Channel Mixer plugin, as some of those 4 or 6 channel tracks are really just multiple stereo pairs and not actually surround audio.
