Merge Multiple Tracks

Post by friday53 » Sat Feb 05, 2011 4:43 pm

Hi
I have 60 tracks that i would like to merge into one track.
Does anyone have an alternative to the toil of copying and pasting all the tracks.
Thanks in Advance.

If they are all the same format you can join them end-to-end using SoX http://sox.sourceforge.net/
The command would be of the form:

Code: Select all

sox file-1 file-2 file-3 .... file-n output-file
For example if you had 3 files called "file1.wav" "file2.wav" "file3.wav" then you could join them together to form "new.wav" with the command:

Code: Select all

sox "file1.wav" "file2.wav" "file3.wav" "new.wav"
