soxi: command not found

by admin

sox is the Swiss Army knife of audio manipulation, which is held in the package of the same name. Once installed, we can take a look at its man pages, where it is made clear that it can not only play an audio file, but it can also manipulate it! Here are the lines of code:

SoX reads and writes audio files in most popular formats and
						can optionally apply effects to them. It can combine multiple
						input sources, synthesise audio, and, on many systems, act as
						a general purpose audio player or a multi-track audio recorder.
						It also has limited ability to split the input into multiple
						output files.
All SoX functionality is available using just the sox command.
						To simplify playing and recording audio, if SoX is invoked as
						play, the output file is automatically set to be the default
						sound device, and if invoked as rec, the default sound device
						is used as an input source.
Additionally, the soxi(1) command provides a convenient way to
						just query audio file header information.
The heart of SoX is a library called libSoX. Those interested
						in extending SoX or using it in other programs should refer to
						the libSoX manual page: libsox(3).
SoX is a command-line audio processing tool, particularly
						suited to making quick, simple edits and to batch processing.
						If you need an interactive, graphical audio editor, use
						audacity(1).

As we can see in the preceding description, sox and soxi can be used for tons of different usages in manipulating audio files.
