That's because "filter" isn't a valid effect name, to it's parsed as an argument to the "gail" effect which (rightly) rejects it. > For reference this is copied from the manpage at > > https://linux.die.net/man/1/sox That's a very old version of the man page. Unfortunately, the current one is also wrong. Someone simply forgot to update that example at some point. I've fixed it just now. Here's the updated command: play track1.wav gain -3 sinc -n 29 -b 100 8000 mcompand \ "0.005,0.1 -47,-40,-34,-34,-17,-33" 100 \ "0.003,0.05 -47,-40,-34,-34,-17,-33" 400 \ "0.000625,0.0125 -47,-40,-34,-34,-15,-33" 1600 \ "0.0001,0.025 -47,-40,-34,-34,-31,-31,-0,-30" 6400 \ "0,0.025 -38,-31,-28,-28,-0,-25" \ gain 15 highpass 22 highpass 22 sinc -n 255 -b 16 -17500 \ gain 9 lowpass -1 17801 Hope this helps. -- Måns Rullgård _______________________________________________ Sox-users mailing list Sox-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sox-users
