1. This will produce a file of length 2500 seconds. I guess what you want to say is "trim 2000 =2500".

2. There is a way for trim to quickly jump over the first 2000 seconds, but it won't work if you are reading from standard input, using more than one input file, or doing any processing before the trim effect. Are you doing any of this?

Is this really the exact way you're calling SoX,
