#3 Dirty sox?

[Bryce Nesbitt]

What's the secret to getting SoundStudio to work? As
shipped with RedHat 7.1 I get:

HardHat:es> studio
/usr/local/bin/sox: Can not specify sample rate effects
when input and output rate are equal

With the CVS version of studio I get:
HardHat:es> ~/cvs/studio/SoundStudio/studio
/usr/local/bin/sox: Premature EOF on .wav input file

I've got the cvs and release versions of sox and
studio. None of the 4 combinations seem to allow a
basic load, edit, save sequence to work any more.
What's up?

Are you trying to save a mono soundfile, by chance? I got
the same error when trying to save a mono wav, in either an
altered or unaltered state. I made a change to file.tk that
makes it work - it seems to have been the call to sox
12.17.1 (12.17.2 doesn't work with Studio AFAIK). If
someone can point me to what I need to learn in order to
make this change public, please let me know.

I'm running RH 7.0 and having the same problem.  It'll save

a file, but they're always only 44 bytes long.

Here's the msg I got when I tried to load a file:

child process exited abnormally
while executing
"exec $FILE(Sox) -V -t .$SAMPLE(format) -$SAMPLE(style)
-$SAMPLE(size) -r $SAMPLE(rate) -c $SAMPLE(chnl) $loadfile
-t .raw -$LOAD(style) -$LOAD(size..."
(procedure "Load" line 153)
invoked from within
"Load"

".menubar.file.menu invoke active"

invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list $w invoke active]"
(procedure "tkMenuInvoke" line 47)
invoked from within
"tkMenuInvoke .menubar.file.menu 1
"
(command bound to event)

I'm still looking, but I don't know how to fix it.  Any

help will be appreciated. Thanks

I finally got it to work in RH 7.0. Hadn't played with it
for a while, but the other day I edited
/usr/local/bin/studio so that it'd use the version of sox
that came with SoundStudio, and that took care of it.

I checked the man page for the included version of sox
against the one on my system. There are some minor(?)
differences in the order of options. I wouldn't have
thought it should have mattered, but it works with the older
version.

Now it loads, records and saves properly, as far as I've
tested it.

What was the change in the tk file?
