SoX Overview
SoX Description
SoX is a free audio editing program that has Windows compatability and Mac OS X compatability, but doesn't have multi-track support, amplitude envelope editing capabilities, loop editing featues or virtual software instruments built in. Here's how Sound eXchange, the developer of SoX, describes their product: SoX is a cross-platform (Windows, Linux, MacOS X, etc.) command line utility that can convert various formats of computer audio files in to other formats. It can also apply various effects to these sound files, and, as an added bonus, SoX can play and record audio files on most platforms.
