Hi, I am new to SoX and can’t really figure out how to understand where things save. I ran this in my command prompt in windows sox -t waveaudio -d new-file.wav
It's like other commands in Windows; if you don't specify a fully pathed filename then it uses whatever Windows thinks is the current working directory. It's far better to be specific, eg sox -t waveaudio -d "C:\this\that\other\new-file.wav"
Most intructions seems to be on Os and it is quite hard to find instructions of the basics for windows.
You can get the PDF manual for sox (and soxi, which can also be useful) at http://sox.sourceforge.net/Docs/Documentation You don't have to read the whole manual - ie you don't need to read about all the different effects, but you do need to understand the basic command syntax and the information about how sox goes about doing things. I'd suggest you start by reading the first 14 pages or so. I don't know what you mean by "on Os". Most (all?) of the examples will work as shown, on Windows.
Do I have to type sox before anything I want to do with sox in the command prompt? How do I start a recording and stop it?
Typing the sox command starts sox, either to make a recording, or (if that's already been done and you tell it to process a existing file) to start doing things to that file. See "Stopping sox" on p6 of the manual. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own _______________________________________________ Sox-users mailing list Sox-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sox-users
