I'm aware of sox, the various encoding tools (transcode, ffmpeg, et) and ecasound, but none of those replace the power of Sound Forge under Windows, at least that I've seen, although I could be missing something. I have tried to figure out ecasound but didn't get anywhere with it. I have files in mono that I want to convert to stereo for CD burning but I couldn't figure out how with sox, even after searching through the man page and reading the help. I ended up doing it with my old Sound Forge but I would like to move more of my audio work to Linux if possible. Here's the command line I used for sox after reading the man page: sox -c 2 file1.wav file2.wav I thought maybe I need to "mix" the audio, but I want both channels to be identical to the one mono channel in file1.wav. I would like some general pointers to audio tools in Linux and tips on using them. I'm running Debian and have added debian-multimedia to my sources.list. I've searched for various keywords but feel like I'm missing something. Any tips on getting started with ecasound would be appreciated as so far I haven't got it to do anything including loading or playing a file. I would prefer text mode and curses programs now as I don't have enough memory to run X. Thanks all for any help, ideas and pointers.
