SoX
Sound eXchange
(known as SoX), is a free cross-platform digital audio
editor, particularly suited to making
quick, simple edits and to batch processing.
SoX is the Swiss Army knife of sound processing
tools: it can convert sound files between many different file formats
& audio devices, and can apply many sound effects &
transformations, as well as doing basic analysis and providing input to
more capable analysis and plotting tools. As an added extra, SoX can
play and record audio files on
many common platforms.
SoX is often used to convert an audio file from one sampling
rate to
another rate (e.g. from DAT to CD rates). SoX's resampling algorithm is
highly configurable.
SoX supports most common sound architectures. It
also supports LADSPA plugins.
