    Hi, I've been trying to make a recording with sfrecord~ with att 4, to let me record an aiff file with four channel inputs. I'd hoped this would give me a recording with 4 mono tracks but instead it gives me 2 stereo tracks, albeit with the right four mics in each four seperate channels. Does anyone know how to turn it around to 4 mono tracks? Or any other way that sfrecord to make it so? Maybe I can pan them somehow? Thanks!

      do you mean, that you get two stereo tracks in you DAW/audio-editor ? if that's so, it's probably not max's fault. AFAIK, there's no info in .aiff about the "channel interpretation" - only simply the number of channels.
      but as a workaround you could convert the multichannel .aiff into multiple mono files (with sox, audacity, whatever...).
      cheers, jan.
