You can add channel identifier codes to the filenames of surround
sound files in the Finder, then add the files in Compressor.
1. In the Finder, append the filename of each audio file with the
appropriate channel identifier code:
-L: Left front channel
-R: Right front channel
-C: Center front channel
-Ls: Left surround channel
-Rs: Right surround channel
-S: Center surround channel
-LFE: Low-frequency effects channel (subwoofer, LFE)
For example, if the audio file for your left front channel is
named “final audio_left.aiff,” name the file “final audio_left-
L.aiff.”
Note: Compressor will recognize source files with or without a
file extension (.aiff or .wav, for example).
2. Drag all of the renamed source audio files (not the folder of
files) to the batch area.
A new job appears in the batch area, and the Job inspector
displays the audio channels that have been assigned based
on their channel codes. (If the Job inspector is not visible,
make sure the job is selected in batch area and the Inspector
button is highlighted blue. If you need to reassign a channel,
you can do so by clicking the channel’s icon in the Job
