Chopping up sound files.

(1/2) > >>

Akima:
I wonder if I could consult the many musically capable people on the forum over a problem I am facing.

I have a need, from time to time, to "chop" sound files into fixed-length slices of n seconds, with as little loss as possible. I have used Time Splitter Audio to do this for years, but it has become orphan-ware and does not work on OS/X releases newer than Lion (10.7), which is no longer supported. It is possible to chop up sound files using Audacity, but it is a fiddly, error-prone and manual process. Can anyone point me towards a solution in an OS/X or possibly *nix environment?

Pilchard123:
I don't know for certain, but that sounds like something FFmpeg could help with.

E: Yup, if you have Ruby and FFmpeg. I imagine you could do something equivalent with your language of choice. I'll look around a bit more.

Pilchard123:
Did you manage to get this sorted out?

Tova:
Sorry I'm a bit late to this thread.

There is a command line utility called sox that you may want to investigate. I can't give details of the command line to use, but I know someone who uses it regularly, so if you want me to get some more info from her, let me know.

Pilchard123:
Plot twist: it's Akima.
