The application runs both ways.

The -3.5 to 3.0 happened because I chose the option to force target value on all front 3 channels.

If you don't want to violate relative levels. Then choose Loudest or Lowest and all relative levels are maintained. If the differences are small it's a trade off of being Perfectly Full Scale (in front) vs Perfectly Balanced (in front).

You can be Perfectly Full Scale on ALL channels too if you wish (last option).

I may add individual channel adjustment, this was just easier and quicker.

Yes your description is about right. But I must stress losing resolution ALL the time is much worse than the risk of occasionally clipping.

Yes 1&2 is Left/Right I was not 100% sure if that was always the case the way the XML file it setup. I'll add labels in the future.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
