Hi there,
A chemist and musician here – a project of mine to convert NMR FID signals to WAV audio files has brought me to SoX (via: https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-convert-a-CSV-file-to-a-wav-file). Toward that end, I've generated a 1-channel .dat file with normalized amplitude values and 9.615 kHz sample rate as input for SoX. The issue I'm running into has everything to do with my limited literacy with command line, a lack of rudimentary documentation from SoX on installation and operation, or a little of both.
I'm running on a Mac, and have the SoX v14.4.2 package in my Downloads directory. I copied the input.dat file to Downloads > sox-14.4.2 as well. So when I launch terminal, navigate there, and enter "sox input.dat output.wav," I get the error:
-bash: sox: command not found
So, maybe I need to install SoX, as this thread would have me believe (https://sourceforge.net/p/sox/mailman/sox-users/thread/col102-w436DF8E69EB76243646E30C3CF0%40phx.gbl/#msg27208706). But I admit I can't find how to do that. Am I on the right track?
Any guidance you all can offer would go a long way. SoX seems to have capabilities valuable to people with skills far afield from computer programming, so I wonder whether a "SoX guide for command-line beginners" would be a welcome addition to the program documentation?
Thank you!
Matt
