Using audacity in command line ?

Post by yobeco » Wed Feb 26, 2014 4:35 pm

Hello

I would like to know if it's possible to use Audacity in command line, in a shell script.
I would like to use the compressor filter on a lots of files. Is it possible to do that without using gui ?

Thank you

No, unless you compile Audacity, compile mod-script-pipe and use Scripting: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/scripting.html .

You could try compand in SoX: http://sox.sourceforge.net/Docs/Features .

If you are not insistent on using the command-line, you could use the Chains feature in Audacity: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/edit_chains.html .
