This should be doable with dtas-partstats, part of my very incomplete and largely undocumented duct-tape audio suite: http://dtas.80x24.org/ Basically, dtas-partstats runs the sox "stats" effect on 10s intervals of a longer audio file and outputs the stats for each interval to stdout. In the output, the 1st column is the time interval, 2nd column is the combined peak of all channels. It should not be difficult to code up something similar using the "trim" and "stats" effects of sox in your favorite scripting language if you don't have Ruby installed. > To elaborate the scenario: I'm recording myself sleeping, to a) find > involuntary actions and b) do quick narrations of dreams, should I wake up > and remember anything.

Anyways, I use partstats to find peaks in live recordings for testing limiter, compressor and EQ effects to even out the overall volume of the result. For live concerts, these peaks are are common from audience noise, dropped/bumped equipment, or room gain on drums. It can also take advantage of multiple CPUs to process the 10s partitions in parallel on systems with GNU nproc(1) or Ruby 2.2+ installed, _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
