Greetings

Taking the left and right channels of two wav files and joining them into
one stereo file

I have two stereo wav files that I would like to take the left channel of
the first audio file and take the right channel of the second audio file
and join them into one new wave file.

Here's an image to what I'm trying to do is this possible to do with sox?

See the 'remix' effect.

thanks but the only thing I saw was

concatenates two audio files "sox −m music.mp3 voice.wav mixed.flac"

which won't do what I'm trying to do,  as you can tell from the diagram

or am I missing something?

Thanks

Hi,

RT wants it the other way round. What he's looking for isn't called
merge "effect", but merge "combining method" (-M):

sox -M in_left.wav in_right.wav out_stereo.mp3

Greetings,
Erich

Except the input files are stereo.  And he wants the output
channel 1 from channel 1 from one input file and output
channel 2 from channel 2 from  the other input file.

Two stereo files merged will create a four channel file which
'remix' can then take two of those channels to create the new
two channel (stereo) output file.

Or alternatively, fold the two input files down to mono, and then
merge into one output file. But I'm curious: Can this be done with a
single sox invocation? There are times when I'd like to do this too.

ok, then I misinterpreted "take left and right channel of two wav files".

yes and afaik no:

yes, if you count the number of commands you have to type into your
command line:
sox -M "|sox in_left.wav -p remix 1" "|sox in_right.wav -p remix 2"
out_stereo.mp3

and no, if you count the number of sox-processes actually running (the
above command will have 3, I can't think of one with less processes,
which _first_ mixes down and then merges together).

greetings,
Erich

Doing it with pipes does mean that it doesn't require intermediate
storage, which is good; but what I meant by "a single invocation" was
a single process, so I guess that's not possible. No matter, the pipe
technique will serve. Thanks.

You only looked at the Introduction of the manpage.
See the remix effect section.
