i have stereo wav files, which each channel is different speakers in a conversation. trying to figure out how best to split a stereo file by both its channel and silence, but still know the order the files should be played in to hear the conversation has a whole. i don't want to merge the 2 channels because often 1 channel has more background noise then the other and sometime speakers will speak over each other and keeping them separate will make it easier to understand them. what i currently have sox stereo.wav L.wav remix 1 sox stereo.wav R.wav remix 2 sox R.wav R..wav silence 1 0.05 0.2% 1 0.8 0.2% pad 0.5 : newfile : restart sox L.wav L..wav silence 1 0.05 0.2% 1 0.8 0.2% pad 0.5 : newfile : restart this gets me R.001.wav R.002.wav ... R.020.wav L.001.wav L.002.wav ... L.024.wav the problem is, for play back sometimes i should play multiple R.###.wav files in a row, or multi L.###.wav files and i have no way of knowing when i should do this with my current setup. instead of just having an increment counter for the name, is there a way to have have it use the starting time( in seconds or whatever) for that segment of the file? that way i'd have the below files and could just sort by the number for the play order. R.000.wav L.030.wav L.043.wav R.078.wav ... if not any other suggestions? thanks for the help -- View this message in context: http://sox.10957.n7.nabble.com/split-stereo-by-channel-and-silence-tp6063.html Sent from the SoX mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Sox-users mailing list Sox-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sox-users
