EEEENNNNVVVVIIIIRRRROOOONNNNMMMMEEEENNNNTTTT VVVVAAAARRRRIIIIAAAABBBBLLLLEEEESSSS CCCCDDDDDDDDAAAA____DDDDEEEEVVVVIIIICCCCEEEE is used to set the device name. The device nam- ing is compatible with J÷rg Schilling's cdrecord package. DDDDIIIISSSSCCCCUUUUSSSSSSSSIIIIOOOONNNN ccccddddddddaaaa2222wwwwaaaavvvv is able to read parts of an aaaauuuuddddiiiioooo CD or mmmmuuuullllttttiiiimmmmeeeeddddiiiiaaaa CDROM (containing audio parts) directly digitally. These parts can be written to a file, a pipe, or to a sound dev- ice. SunOS 5.4 Last change: 1 CDDA2WAV(1) User Commands CDDA2WAV(1) ccccddddddddaaaa2222wwwwaaaavvvv stands for CCCCDDDDDDDDAAAA to WWWWAAAAVVVV (where CCCCDDDDDDDDAAAA stands for com- pact disc digital audio and WWWWAAAAVVVV is a sound sample format introduced by MS Windows). It allows copying CCCCDDDDDDDDAAAA audio data from the CDROM drive into a file on your ram-, hard-, floppy- or whatever-disk in WWWWAAAAVVVV or other formats. The latest versions try to get higher real-time scheduling priorities to ensure smooth (uninterrupted) operation. These priorities are available for super users and are higher than those of 'normal' processes. Thus delays are minimized. Please note that you need newer kernels and c libraries to take advantage of this feature. If your CDROM (not yet for SCSI drives) is on device ////ddddeeeevvvv////ccccddddrrrroooommmm and it is loaded with an audio CD, you may simply invoke ccccddddddddaaaa2222wwwwaaaavvvv and it will create the sound file aaaauuuuddddiiiioooo....wwwwaaaavvvv recording the whole track beginning with track 1 in stereo at 16 bit at 44100 Hz sample rate, if your file system has enough space free. Otherwise recording time will be lim- ited. SCSI drives have to use different devices (see files RRRREEEEAAAADDDDMMMMEEEE and RRRREEEEAAAADDDDMMMMEEEE....IIIINNNNSSSSTTTTAAAALLLLLLLL for details). HHHHIIIINNNNTTTTSSSS OOOONNNN OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS Options Most of the options are used to control the format of the WAV file. In the following text all of them are described. Select Device ----DDDD _d_e_v_i_c_e selects the CDROM drive device to be used. The specifier given should correspond to the selected interface (see below). CCCCHHHHAAAANNNNGGGGEEEE!!!! For the cooked_ioctl interface this is the cdrom device descriptor as before. TTTThhhheeee SSSSCCCCSSSSIIII ddddeeeevvvviiiicccceeeessss uuuusssseeeedddd wwwwiiiitttthhhh tttthhhheeee aaaaddddddddrrrreeeesssssssseeeedddd wwwwiiiitttthhhh tttthhhheeeeiiiirrrr SSSSCCCCSSSSIIII----BBBBuuuussss,,,, SSSSCCCCSSSSIIII----IIIIdddd,,,, aaaannnndddd SSSSCCCCSSSSIIII ddddeeeevvvviiiicccceeee ddddeeeessssccccrrrriiiippppttttoooorrrr!!!!!!!!!!!! One example for a SCSI CDROM drive on bus 0 with SCSI ID 3 and lun 0 is -D0,3,0. Select Auxiliary device ----AAAA _a_u_x_d_e_v_i_c_e is necessary for CD-Extra handling. For Non-SCSI-CDROM drives this is the same device as given by -D (see above). For SCSI-CDROM drives it is the CDROM drive (SCSI) device (i.e. ////ddddeeeevvvv////ssssrrrr0000 ) correspond- ing to the SCSI device (i.e. 0000,,,,3333,,,,0000 ). It has to match the device used for sampling. Select Interface ----IIII _i_n_t_e_r_f_a_c_e selects the CDROM drive interface. For SCSI drives use generic_scsi (cooked_ioctl may not yet be available for all devices): ggggeeeennnneeeerrrriiiicccc____ssssccccssssiiii and ccccooooooookkkkeeeedddd____iiiiooooccccttttllll. The first uses the generic SCSI inter- face, the latter uses the ioctl of the CDROM driver. SunOS 5.4 Last change: 2 CDDA2WAV(1) User Commands CDDA2WAV(1) The latter variant works only when the kernel driver supports CCCCDDDDDDDDAAAA reading. This entry has to match the selected CDROM device (see above). Enable echo to soundcard ----eeee copies audio data to the sound card while recording, so you hear it nearly simultaneously. The soundcard gets the same data that is recorded. This is time crit- ical, so it works best with the ----qqqq option. To use ccccddddddddaaaa2222wwwwaaaavvvv as a pseudo CD player without recording in a file you could use ccccddddddddaaaa2222wwwwaaaavvvv ----qqqq ----eeee ----tttt2222 ----dddd0000 ----NNNN to play the whole second track. This feature reduces the recording speed to at most onefold speed. You cannot make better recordings than your sound card can play (since the same data is used). Change pitch of echoed audio ----pppp ppppeeeerrrrcccceeeennnnttttaaaaggggeeee changes the pitch of all audio echoed to a sound card. Only the copy to the soundcard is affected, the recorded audio samples in a file remain the same. Normal pitch, which is the default, is given by 100%. Lower percentages correspond to lower pitches, i.e. -p 50 transposes the audio output one octave lower. See also the script ppppiiiittttcccchhhhppppllllaaaayyyy as an example. This option was contributed by Raul Sobon. Select mono or stereo recording ----mmmm or ----cccc 1111 selects mono recording (both stereo channels are mixed), ----ssss or ----cccc 2222 or ----cccc ssss selects stereo recording (doubles file size). Parameter s will swap both sound channels. Select maximum quality ----xxxx will set stereo, 16 bits per sample at 44.1 KHz (full CD quality). Note that other format options given later can change this setting. Select sample quality ----bbbb 8888 specifies 8 bit (1 Byte) for each sample in each channel; ----bbbb 11112222 specifies 12 bit (2 Byte) for each sam- ple in each channel; ----bbbb 11116666 specifies 16 bit (2 Byte) for each sample in each channel (Ensure that your sam- ple player or sound card is capable of playing 12-bit or 16-bit samples). Selecting 12 or 16 bits doubles file size. 12-bit samples are aligned to 16-bit sam- ples, so they waste some disk space. Select sample rate ----rrrr _s_a_m_p_l_e_r_a_t_e selects a sample rate. _s_a_m_p_l_e_r_a_t_e can be in a range between 44100 and 900. Option ----RRRR lists all available rates. SunOS 5.4 Last change: 3 CDDA2WAV(1) User Commands CDDA2WAV(1) Select sample rate divider ----aaaa _d_i_v_i_d_e_r selects a sample rate divider. _d_i_v_i_d_e_r can be minimally 1 and maximally 50.5 and everything between in steps of 0.5. Option ----RRRR lists all available rates. To make the sound smoother at lower sampling rates, ccccddddddddaaaa2222wwwwaaaavvvv sums over _n samples (where _n is the specific dividend). So for 22050 Hertz output we have to sum over 2 samples, for 900 Hertz we have to sum over 49 samples. This cancels higher frequencies. Standard sector size of an audio CD (ignoring additional infor- mation) is 2352 Bytes. In order to finish summing for an output sample at sector boundaries the rates above have to be choosen. Arbitrary sampling rates in high quality would require some interpolation scheme, which needs much more sophisticated programming. List a table of all sampling rates ----RRRR shows a list of all sample rates and their dividers. Dividers can range from 1 to 50.5 in steps of 0.5. Select start track and optionally end track ----tttt _n+_m selects nnnn as the start track and optionally mmmm as the last track of a range to be recorded. These tracks must be from the table of contents. This sets the track where recording begins. Recording can advance through the following tracks as well (limited by the optional end track or otherwise depending on recording time). Whether one file or different files are then created depends on the ----BBBB option (see below). Select start index ----iiii _n selects the index to start recording with. Indices other than 1 will invoke the index scanner, which will take some time to find the correct start position. An offset may be given additionally (see below). Set recording time ----dddd nnnn sets recording time to _n seconds or set recording time for whole track if _n is zero. Please note that if track ranges are being used they define the recording time as well thus overriding any ----dddd option specified times. Recording time is defined as the time the generated sample will play (at the defined sample rate). Since it's related to the amount of generated samples, it's not the time of the sampling process itself (which can be less or more). It's neither strictly coupled with the time information on the audio CD (shown by your SunOS 5.4 Last change: 4 CDDA2WAV(1) User Commands CDDA2WAV(1) hifi CD player). Differences can occur by the usage of the ----oooo option (see below). Notice that recording time will be shortened, unless enough disk space exists. Recording can be aborted at anytime by pressing the break character (signal SIGQUIT). Record a complete audio CD in one go in different files ----BBBB copies each track into a seperate file. A base name can be given. File names have an appended track number and an extension corresponding to the audio format. To record all audio tracks of a CD, use a sufficient high duration (i.e. -d99999). Set start sector offset ----oooo _s_e_c_t_o_r_s increments start sector of the track by _s_e_c_- _t_o_r_s. By this option you are able to skip a certain amount at the beginning of a track so you can pick exactly the part you want. Each sector runs for 1/75 seconds, so you have very fine control. If your offset is so high that it would not fit into the current track, a warning message is issued and the offset is ignored. Recording time is not reduced. (To skip introductory quiet passages automagically, use the ---- wwww option see below.) Wait for signal option ----wwww Turning on this option will suppress all silent out- put at startup, reducing possibly file size. ccccddddddddaaaa2222wwwwaaaavvvv will watch for any signal in the output signal and switches on writing to file. Find extrem samples ----FFFF Turning on this option will display the most nega- tive and the most positive sample value found during recording for both channels. This can be useful for readjusting the volume. The values shown are not reset at track boundaries, they cover the complete sampling process. They are taken from the original samples and have the same format (i.e. they are independent of the selected output format). Find if input samples are in mono ----GGGG If this option is given, input samples for both channels will be compared. At the end of the program the result is printed. Differences in the channels indicate stereo, otherwise when both channels are equal it will indicate mono. Undo the pre-emphasis in the input samples ----TTTT Some older audio CDs are recorded with a modified frequency response called pre-emphasis. This is found mostly in classical recordings. The correction can be SunOS 5.4 Last change: 5 CDDA2WAV(1) User Commands CDDA2WAV(1) seen in the flags of the Table Of Contents often. But there are recordings, that show this setting only in the subchannels. If you know you have a pre-emphasized recording and want cdda2wav to undo this, you have to specify this option. A reverse filtering is done before the samples are written into the audio file. Set audio format ----OOOO aaaauuuuddddiiiioooottttyyyyppppeeee can be _w_a_v (for wav files) or _a_u or _s_u_n (for sun PCM files) or _c_d_r or _r_a_w (for headerless files to be used for cd writers). All file samples are coded in linear pulse code modulation (as done in the audio compact disc format). This holds for all audio formats. Wav files are compatible to Wind*ws sound files, they have lsb,msb byte order as being used on the audio cd. The default filename extension is '.wav'. Sun type files are not like the older common logarithmically coded .au files, but instead as mentioned above linear PCM is used. The byte order is msb,lsb to be compati- ble. The default filename extension is '.au'. The AIFF and the newer variant AIFC from the Apple/SGI world store their samples in bigendian format (msb,lsb). In AIFC no compression is used. Finally the easiest 'for- mat', the cdr aka raw format. It is done per default in msb,lsb byte order to satisfy the order wanted by most cd writers. Since there is no header information in this format, the sample parameters can only be identi- fied by playing the samples on a soundcard or similiar. The default filename extension is '.cdr' or '.raw'. Select cdrom drive reading speed ----SSSS ssssppppeeeeeeeedddd allows to switch the cdrom drive to a certain level of speed in order to reduce read errors. The actual speed factor can generally be given completely freely, since there are often less settings than fac- tors possible. Details depend very much on the cdrom drives. An argument of 0 for example is often the default speed of the drive, a value of 1 often selects single speed. Enable MD5 checksums ----MMMM ccccoooouuuunnnntttt enables calculation of MD-5 checksum for 'count' bytes from the beginning of a track. This was introduced for quick comparisons of tracks. Do linear or overlapping reading of sectors ----PPPP sssseeeeccccttttoooorrrrssss sets the given number of sectors for ini- tial overlap sampling for jitter correction. Two cases are to be distinguished. For nonzero values, some sec- tors are read twice to enable cdda2wav's jitter correc- tion. If an argument of zero is given, no overlap sam- pling will be used. NNNNEEEEWWWWSSSS!!!! For nonzero overlap sectors SunOS 5.4 Last change: 6 CDDA2WAV(1) User Commands CDDA2WAV(1) cdda2wav dynamically adjusts the setting during sam- pling (like cdparanoia does). If no match can be found, cdda2wav retries the read with an increased overlap. If the amount of jitter is lower than the current overlapped samples, cdda2wav reduces the over- lap setting, resulting in a higher reading speed. The argument given has to be lower than the total number of sectors per request (see option -_n below). Cdda2wav will check this setting and issues a error message oth- erwise. The case of zero sectors is nice on low load situations or errorfree (perfect) cdrom drives and per- fect (not scratched) audio cds. Set the transfer size ----nnnn sssseeeeccccttttoooorrrrssss will set the transfer size to the specified sectors per request. Set number of ring buffer elements ----llll bbbbuuuuffffffffeeeerrrrssss will allocate the specified number of ring buffer elements. Set endianess of input samples ----CCCC eeeennnnddddiiiiaaaannnneeeessssssss will override the default settings of the input format. Endianess can be set explicitly to "lit- tle" or "big" or to the automatic endianess detection based on voting with "guess". Set endianess of output samples ----EEEE eeeennnnddddiiiiaaaannnneeeessssssss (endianess can be "little" or "big") will override the default settings of the output format. Verbose option ----vvvv lllleeeevvvveeeellll prints more information. A binary mask allows selection of different information. 0000 keeps quiet 1111 displays the table of contents 2222 displays a summary of recording parameters 4444 invokes the index scanner and displays start posi- tions of indices 8888 retrieves and displays a media catalog number 11116666 retrieves and displays international standard recording codes 33332222 displays track start positions in absolute sector notation SunOS 5.4 Last change: 7 CDDA2WAV(1) User Commands CDDA2WAV(1) To combine several requests just add the numbers and give the sum as argument. The table of contents The display will show the table of contents with number of tracks and total time (displayed in _m_m:_s_s._h_h format, _m_m=minutes, _s_s=seconds, _h_h=rounded 1/100 seconds).

No file output ----NNNN this debugging option switches off writing to a file. No infofile generation ----HHHH this option switches off creation of an info file and a cddb file. Verbose SCSI logging ----VVVV this option switches on logging of SCSI commands. This will produce a lot of output, which is needed for debugging purposes. The format is the same as being used with the cdrecord package from J÷rg Schilling. I will not describe it here. Quiet option ----qqqq suppresses all screen output except error messages. Further it avoids any sub q channel requests for posi- tion reports in the recording display. That reduces cpu time resources and allows feeding a soundcard with audio data on the fly. Just show information option ----JJJJ does not write a file, it only prints information about the disc (depending on the ----vvvv option). This is just for information purposes. HHHHIIIINNNNTTTTSSSS OOOONNNN UUUUSSSSAAAAGGGGEEEE Don't create samples you cannot read. First check your sam- ple player software and sound card hardware. I experienced SunOS 5.4 Last change: 8 CDDA2WAV(1) User Commands CDDA2WAV(1) problems with very low sample rates (stereo <= 1575 Hz, mono <= 3675 Hz) when trying to play them with standard WAV players for sound blaster (maybe they are not legal in WWWWAAAAVVVV format). Most CD-Writers insist on audio samples in a bigen- dian format. Now cdda2wav supports the ----EEEE eeeennnnddddiiiiaaaannnneeeessssssss option to control the endianess of the written samples. If your hardware is fast enough to run cdda2wav uninter- rupted and your CD drive is one of the 'perfect' ones, you will gain speed when switching all overlap sampling off with the ----PPPP 0000 option. Further fine tuning can be done with the ---- nnnn sssseeeeccccttttoooorrrrssss option. You can specify how much sectors should be requested in one go. Cdda2wav supports ppppiiiippppeeeessss now. Use a filename of ---- to let cdda2wav output its samples to standard output. Conversion to other sound formats can be done using the ssssooooxxxx program package (although the use of ssssooooxxxx ----xxxx to get byte swaps should be no more necessary; see option ----EEEE to change the output byteorder). If you really want to sample more than one track in one go into different files, this is currently possible with the ----BBBB option. When recording time exceeds the track limit a new file will be opened for the next track.
