Hey, nice job. I know the issue's kind of resolved, but would you mind telling me where it was? After you mentioned it, I was wracking my brain to remember where it was posted.
I found it in Wii U thread, just searching hist lastest posts in forum. But to be true, i'm not sure how this values work, some explanation would be very helpful.
BTW, he said he also took a look for multichannel streams in Maker, but I haven't found anything about it. Such information exist?
Oh, sorry for figuring you would know that. Basically, the volume is an 8-bit signed value, but negative values aren't useful for us, so we consider the values 0-127. 0 is "silent" and 127 is "full volume," or the actual level of the audio file. It's easiest in this case to think of the values as a percentage. If we consider 127 100% and 0 0%, we can calculate the necessary amplification for any of the streams (for example, if we have a volume value of 103 for a stream, we would want to find out what percent 103 is of 127, and then apply that percent of amplification to the stream; this means that all the amplification we do will either do nothing or make the stream quieter). If you don't know how to calculate percentages or just can't be bothered, this site will do it for you (we would be using the second option in this case). However, this is a bit annoying for audio since decibels work on a logarithmic scale, so percents don't handily correspond to values. You could use calculators or some other way to figure out the value you want, but if you're editing in Audacity, then you can use this plugin, which will do all the hard work for you (put it in your Audacity install directory under Audacity/Plug-Ins. You'll also need to make sure to choose the second one in the drop-down menu since there's a built-in function that's also called amplify).
