To get the WAV file, some of the ways are using sox and running the command sox -e signed-integer -b 16 -r 16k -c 1 out.raw out.wav, or writing a python script using the wave library. Source: 11 months ago

Also sox can be handy for just audio. You can't beat ffmpeg in general, finding the right command options and testing can take time but with any of them it's worth building up your toolkit. Source: about 1 year ago

SoX is great for 99% of command-line audio work. The documentation can be tough to follow (and sometimes just missing or wrong), but once you wrap your head around the syntax and chaining effects together it is impressive what you can do. Source: over 1 year ago

For no good reason, this prompted me to attempt to write a function in Bash which takes advantage of SoX to snap recorded audio to a desired length by speeding up or slowing down as needed. Source: over 1 year ago

I have a couple of these to add as well: VCVRack - simply one of the most mind-expanding things a synthesizer-nerd can play with. (https://vcvrack.com/) ZynthianOS - another example of a simple software solution to a problem nobody realized existed, opening the door to an absolutely astonishing array of Audio processing tools (https://zynthian.org/). - Source: Hacker News / 14 days ago

> It’s haven’t bought any Modular’s yet but I’m really looking forward to getting into other on the new year. http://cardinal.kx.studio https://vcvrack.com/ The former is libre and gratis, runs as a standalone or plugin and in the browser!! and is based on the latter. Ther former has a libre and gratis standalone version, the plugin version is non-gratis. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

A music synthesizer. It's a pathway to learning electronics, music, and the nature of sound. There are cheap kits, cheap synths, lots of kinds of synths, and there are much more complicated and expensive systems you can grow into. You can get software synths also, VCV Rack is a free though complex one: https://vcvrack.com/ However I'd recommend an inexpensive hardware one with real knobs you can turn, like one... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

What really opened my eyes was the Nord Micromodular; it taught me what I just described. It showed me how limited other synths were - but that limitation was a trade-off because it's much faster to make something on a fixed-structure synth than on a modular, in most cases. Nowadays, you can use https://vcvrack.com/ instead of a small limited box that needs Windows 98 to run the editor on. Source: 11 months ago

Also I would suggest the paid version of VCV rack which works as a VST too ( the free version is just stand alone ) Expecially when experimenting with modular ( believe me, it can save you a fortune whilst you learn what different modules do ) I would also recommend Omri Cohens Youtube channel for learning this too.
