DS development > SoX help need sounds

#138346 - ubercatch22 - Thu Aug 23, 2007 4:05 am

I read that you can use a program called Sox to convert a sound file into a .raw file

but when i try to open up SoX something that looks like command prompt falshes and then goes away

edit**

ok i open it through command prompt but i just get what seems to be a help thing. how do i use command promt to convert the file i want to?

try reading the 'help thing' maybe?

#138353 - ubercatch22 - Thu Aug 23, 2007 6:09 am

no............

Are you kidding of course i read it there commands but when i enter them command prompt say:

bla bla bla is not a directory path with a batch file or excutiable file

you must be misspeling 'sox' or something then...

eg:

if "sox" --> prints help

then do something like:
"sox blah.wav -r 32768 -s -2 blah.raw" --> converts a standard wav file into a signed 16-bit 32768Hz raw file.

you have to read the help to know what all the different commands are.

Type: man sox

Read the manual page. Learn.

Windows doesn't have manual pages.

ubercatch22 appears likely not to be familiar with how to navigate a command prompt. For that, Google dos tutorial
