I shifted the Test.bat, left.wav, right.wav in a subfolder called "input" (arbitrarily) and ran

c:\Program Files (x86)\sox-14-4-2\input>Test.bat

and YES I get a stereo.wav which appears correct on Soundforge!!!

Hi guys,

I cannot interact directly on the mailing list for some reason and had to post my question via email.

I have just installed SoX and upon running it I only get a back window appearing momentarily and then vanishes. Consider me a complete noob and treat me with some patience.

I need to combine several mono wav samples to corresponding stereo files. I am running Windows 10 not linux. The files are in folder and named as as follows:

I need to merge corresponding lefts and rights to output as new stereo files in new folders bearing the original name of the instrument (organ stop in this case) and subfolders and I want to ensure the appropriate files are merged together. Identical names exist in the subfolders that bear the release/ tail of a wave profile because each must correspond to the corresponding main file when eventually played in the appropriate software. Those of you who may have processed sound files for jOrgan, GrandOrgue or Hauptwerk know what I am talking about.

How do I get to use SoX for this exercise. Total files I need to process run into 2000+ mono files x 2 to get 2000+ stereo files. That's a lot to process manually!!!


Let's break your question into two parts: combining two 1-channel
audio files into one 2-channel audio file and scripting this
combination with multiple files in different directories.

There is one caveat: I don't have access to Windows 10, I'm using Windows 7.

1. Does this sox command work for combining two 1-channel files,
left.wav and right.wav, into one 2-channel audio file: stereo.wav?

sox -M -c 1 left.wav -c 1 right.wav stereo.wav



2. I would use a scripting language to work with multiple files in
different directories. Do you have Windows Script Host available on
your system?

a. Go to the command prompt. (Search for "Command Prompt" or "cmd.exe".)

b. At the command prompt, type this command:

cscript.exe

If the command returns an error, you don't have Windows Script Host
installed. If you do have it installed, let's see if you can create
and run a VBScript program. Type this command:

notepad hello.vbs

This will bring up the Notepad text editor for a VBScript program
called hello.vbs. Type the following text into Notepad, then save and
close it:

Wscript.Echo "Hello, World!"

To run the hello.vbs VBScript program, type the following command at
the command prompt:

cscript hello.vbs

The command prompt should display "Hello, World!". Let me know if
you're able to complete #1 and #2 to your satisfaction and I'll help
you combine the two to solve your problem.
