Short: All-formats sample converter
TITLE
SOX - The Sound Exchange
VERSION
Public release 6 (patchlevel 8); Amiga release 3.0
DESCRIPTION
SOX is a tool for converting between sampled audio formats.
It has been available for several years for Unix; MS-DOS and
Amiga ports first appeared early in 1992. The present
release compiles fairly cleanly under Unix (SV or BSD), VMS,
MS-DOS/Borland, and AmigaDOS/SAS.
SOX understands most sampled audio formats in common use,
including 8SVX, AIFF, VOC, WAV, Sun .au, NeXT .snd,
Macintosh HCOM resources, IRCAM SoundFile, Turtle Beach
.SMP, .SOU, Sndtool, Sounder, and all raw (unheadered)
formats (8-,16-, or 32-bit, signed, unsigned, mu-law, or
A-law). SOX is able to convert from any recognized format
to any other.
In addition, SOX is capable of performing certain types of
effects on sounds between the reading and writing phases;
these include low- and band-pass filters, resample (rate
change), echo, vibro, and channel conversion.
REQUIREMENTS
A sampled sound file.
OPTIONAL
68030 CPUs and 68881/2 Floating-Point processors are
supported (Amiga version only) through the use of four
separate program files.
CHANGES
Since patchlevel 6 (Amiga 2.0):
- Several bugs fixed;
- 68030 versions available for AmigaDOS;
- "auto" type handler to automatically identify input files;
- "reverse" effect added. (NOTE: I'm not sure whether this
effect ever made it into documentation, but it's there.
E.g., "sox foobar.voc raboof.iff reverse".)
