SoX
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This file contains information specific to the Win32 version of SoX.
|
||
|
|
Please refer to the README file for general information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The binary SOX.EXE can be installed anywhere you desire. The only
|
||
|
|
restriction is that the included ZLIB1..DLL and LIBGOMP-1.DLL must be
|
||
|
|
located in the same directory as SOX.EXE or somewhere within your PATH.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SoX Helper Applications
|
||
|
|
-----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SoX also includes support for SOXI.EXE, PLAY.EXE and REC.EXE and their
|
||
|
|
behaviors are documented in included PDF's. They have the same
|
||
|
|
install restrictions as SOX.EXE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SOXI.EXE, PLAY.EXE, and REC.EXE are not distributed with this package to
|
||
|
|
reduce size requirements. They are, in fact, only copies of the original
|
||
|
|
SOX.EXE binary which changes SOX.EXE's behavior based on the
|
||
|
|
executable's filename.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you wish to make use of these utils then you can create them
|
||
|
|
yourself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
copy sox.exe soxi.exe
|
||
|
|
copy sox.exe play.exe
|
||
|
|
copy sox.exe rec.exe
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are concerned with disk space, the play and record
|
||
|
|
functionality can be equated using the "-d" option with SOX.EXE. soxi
|
||
|
|
functionality can be equated using the "--info" option with SOX.EXE. The
|
||
|
|
rough syntax is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
play: sox [input files and options] -d [effects]
|
||
|
|
rec: sox -d [output file and options] [effects]
|
||
|
|
soxi: sox --info [input files and options]
|
||
|

Appendix - wget Support
|
||
|
|
-----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SoX can make use of the wget command line utility to load files over
|
||
|
|
the internet. A binary copy of wget has been included with this
|
||
|
|
package of SoX for your convience.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For SoX to make use of wget, it must be located either in your PATH or
|
||
|
|
within the same directory that SoX is ran from.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Custom configuration of wget can be made by editing the file wget.ini
|
||
|
|
contained in the same directory as wget.exe.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please consult wget's homepage for access to source code as well as
|
||
|
|
further instructions on configuring.

Appendix - MP3 Support
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SoX contains support for reading and writing MP3 files but does not ship
|
||
|
|
with the DLL's that perform decoding and encoding of MP3 data because
|
||
|
|
of patent restrictions. For further details, refer to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3#Licensing_and_patent_issues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MP3 support can be enabled by placing Lame encoding DLL and/or
|
||
|
|
MAD decoding DLL into the same directory as SOX.EXE. These
|
||
|
|
can be compiled yourself, they may turn up on searches of the internet
|
||
|
|
or may be included with other MP3 applications already installed
|
||
|
|
on your system. For encoding/writing, try searching for lame-enc.dll,
|
||
|
|
libmp3lame-0.dll, libmp3lame.dll, or cygmp3lame-0.dll. For
|
||
|
|
decoding/reading, try searching for libmad-0.dll, libmad.dll or cygmad-0.dll.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Instructions are included here for using MSYS to create the DLL's.
|
||
|
|
It is assumed you already have MSYS installed on your system
|
||
|
|
with a working gcc compiler. The commands are ran from MSYS
|
||
|
|
bash shell.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Obtain the latest Lame and MAD source code from approprate locations.

||
|

Lame MP3 encoder http://lame.sourceforge.net
|
||
|
|
MAD MP3 decoder http://www.underbit.com/products/mad
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd lame-398-2
|
||
|
|
./configure --disabled-static --enable-shared
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
cp libmp3lame/.libs/libmp3lame-0.dll /path/to/sox
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MAD libraries up to 0.15.1b have a bug in configure that will not allow
|
||
|
|
building DLL under mingw. This can be resolved by adding LDFLAGS
|
||
|
|
to configure and editing the generated Makefile to remove an invalid
|
||
|
|
option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd libmad-0.15.1b
|
||
|
|
./configure --enable-shared --disable-static LDFLAGS="-no-undefined"
|
||
|
|
[edit Makefile, search for "-fforce-mem" and delete it.]
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
cp libmad-0.dll /path/to/sox/

Appendix - AMR-NB/AMR-WB Support
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SoX contains support for reading and writing AMR-NB and AMR-WB files but
|
||
|
|
does not ship with the DLL's that perform decoding and encoding of AMR
|
||
|
|
data because of patent restrictions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AMR-NB/AMR-WB support can be enabled by placing required DLL's
|
||
|
|
into the same directory as SOX.EXE. These can be compiled yourself,
|
||
|
|
they may turn up on searches of the internet or may be included with other
|
||
|
|
MP3 applications already installed on your system. For AMR-NB support,
|
||
|
|
try searching for libamrnb-3.dll, libopencore-amrnb-0.dll, or
|
||
|
|
libopencore-amrnb.dll. For AMR-WB support, try searching for libamrwb-3.dll,
|
||
|
|
libopencore-amrwb-0.dll, or libopencore-amrwb.dll.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Instructions are included here for using MSYS to create the DLL's.
|
||
|
|
It is assumed you already have MSYS installed on your system with
|
||
|
|
working gcc compiler. These commands are ran from MSYS bash shell.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Obtain the latest amrnb and amrwb source code from
|
||
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr .
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd opencore-amr-0.1.2
|
||
|
|
./configure --enable-shared --disable-static LDFLAGS="-no-undefined"
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
cp amrnb/.libs/libopencore-amrnb-0.dll /path/to/sox
|
||
|
|
cp amrwb/.libs/libopencore-amrwb-0.dll /path/to/sox

Appendix - LADSPA Plugins
|
||
|
|
-------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SoX has built in support for LADSPA Plugins. These plugins are
|
||
|
|
mostly built for Linux but some are available for Windows.
|
||
|
|
The Audacity GUI application has a page that points to a collection
|
||
|
|
of Windows LADSPA plugins.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/plugins
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SoX will search for these plugins based on LADSPA_PATH
|
||
|
|
enviornment variable. See sox.txt for further information.
