💖 WAVTOOL-PL(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the wavtool-pl User Manual ✨ this is the whole lore, the group chat recap, the everything. no gatekeeping here, we're going through it together 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

wavtool-pl — it's the program that concatenates and mixes wav files. that's the whole job. she does it. she slays. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wavtool-pl {outfile} {infile} {offset} {length} {p1} {p2} {p3} {v1} {v2}
           {v3} {v4} {ovr} {p4} {p5} {v5}

like. that's fifteen little braces and every single one of them MATTERS. count them. I did. 🔥

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, this manual page documents briefly the wavtool-pl command. briefly, because we're busy and cute.

for the record, this manual page was written for the Debian distribution, because the original program does not have a manual page. yes bestie, we wrote the wiki. iconic behavior honestly.

wavtool-pl is a program that can concatenate and mix wav files. also adjust the volume of the wav files. it's giving multitasking queen 👑

so here's the tea: the program will concatenate the input file to the end of the output file. and if ovr is set, the input will be mixed with the end of the output file. like a little blending moment. a merge. a soft launch. 💖

now, to adjust the volume, you use the 5 points (p1 ~ p5) and the corresponding volume parameter (v1 - v5). the relationship of the points is:

offset -> p1 -> p2 -> p5 ... p3 <- p4 <- (offset+length)

look at it. stare at it. it's a little sandwich 🥪 p5 and p3 are just vibing in the middle, the arrows go in from both sides, iykyk.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

a summary of options is included below. yes, all of them. no skipping, no summarising, we're doing this properly.

  • outfile — the output file 🎀
  • infile — the input file 🎀
  • offset — how much offset (in msec) from head of the input file needs to skip. like, we're starting a little further in, bestie, don't look at the beginning 💀
  • length — how much length (in msec) from offset of the input file needs to be processed. so: start at offset, take length msec of it. that's the portion we're working with ✨
  • p1 — point 1 (in msec). it is the relative position after offset.
  • p2 — point 2 (in msec). it is the relative position after p1.
  • p3 — point 3 (in msec). it is the relative position before p4.
  • v1 — volume for point 1. the value is 0 to 100, which means percentage. so 100 is full volume, 0 is silence, no in-between nonsense required 🎚️
  • v2 — volume for point 2. the value is 0 to 100, which means percentage.
  • v3 — volume for point 3. the value is 0 to 100, which means percentage.
  • v4 — volume for point 4. the value is 0 to 100, which means percentage.
  • ovr — the length of overlap (in msec). the head of the input (after offset) will be mixed with the end of the output. this is the blend moment, the crossover episode, the mashup 🫶
  • p4 — point 4 (in msec). it is the relative position before the end of input (offset + length).
  • p5 — point 5 (in msec). it is the relative position after p2.
  • v5 — volume for point 5. the value is 0 to 100, which means percentage.
reminder bestie: p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 are all in msec, and v1 v2 v3 v4 v5 are all 0 to 100 percentages. don't mix them up, that's a whole different vibe 😭

🙈 BUGS 🙈
