I'm an inexperienced user trying to understand more about audio, but I'm puzzled by sox's reporting of bit depth. If I use sox to convert a 16 bit 44100 file to a 24 bit file, test.flac soxi test.flac gives:- Input File : 'test.flac' Channels : 2 Sample Rate : 44100 Precision : 24-bit Duration : 00:08:10.00 = 21609000 samples = 36750 CDDA sectors File Size : 40.4M Bit Rate : 659k Sample Encoding: 24-bit FLAC But if I do sox test.flac -n stats I get (inter alia):- Bit-depth 16/16 Num samples 21.6M Why is this? I'm using SoX v14.4.1 on Ubuntu 15.10 -Richard. -- Richard Kimber |
