Re: merging mono files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I cannot give any more information on where the loops and markers are. They are created using audio software.

It does not matter if SoX would not include features like these. I thought I'd make my perfectly legitimate request.... I tried.

I'll just have to be patient and do the job manually.

Thanks everyone for your interaction in trying to solve my difficulty. SoX was recommended to me by a friend with whom I create samplesets. I took up that recommendation but clearly this is not the software I need,

Apologies for any inconvenience caused. At least I got as far as merging two files using a bat process. Re-creating loops and markers and checking each is as much of a task as the process at hand so might as well just get on with it.

Best wishes to all,

Mark

add that to the wish list. It would be very handy for several
people doing serious digital sound processing. :-)
Keep in mind, SoX is used by a lot of us for a lot of
different tasks.  The one task you are wanting to us it for
(joint two mono files into a stereo file) is a very tiny piece
of what SoX can do.

I was thinking about the problem of markers in the file
headers when mixing files together, as Dr. Mark is trying to
do. What if the markers in the left channel and the right
channel are not completely identical? I think this is a more
complicated task than just copying input file markers to the
output file when mixing.

They are *identical*...
In _your_ case, they are identical.  But a SoX effect or
function can't be added just for _your_ case.  At least, not
if it doesn't behave well for other cases.

... and most probably created
So what should SoX do if it happens to be something other than
"most probably"?  SoX is good partly because it does work so
predictably even when doing odd or unusual things.
The separation must have been done after to accommodate
for Hauptwerk software's special features.
Again - in your case.  There is no guarantee, or even a high
probability,  that other people and other files would be the
same situation.

Something like "preserving loops and cues" has the potential for
being tricky for the reasons Peter wrote.  Then, as Jeremy pointed
out, they may be in a sidecar file and not in the audio file
itself.

Have you tested the stereo file you made using SoX?  Are the
markers intact?  If so, your situation is resolved.  If not -
maybe there is a way to copy the info from one of the mono
files to the stereo file.

But so far, I haven't seen from you what these "loops and
cues" are.  You described how you use them - but is it in the
header?  If so, where?  If not the header, then where is it?
Is it in a sidecar file like Jeremy described?
