SNDFILE-MIX-TO-MONO(1)

💖 NAME 💖

sndfile-mix-to-mono — bestie, it mixes a multi-channel sound file down to mono 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sndfile-mix-to-mono <multi-channel input file> <mono output file>

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so sndfile-mix-to-mono literally reads a multi-channel input file and writes a single channel output file, and that output is just all of the input channels mixed together — exactly like an audio mixing desk would do it. no cap. 💅

both the reading and the writing happen through libsndfile ( http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/ ) 🦋

and here's the lil trick you need to know: the format of the output file is determined by the filename extension of the output file. so like… name it right or it's giving chaos 😭
