I have a large bunch of WAV files sampled at 44.1kHz and at 48kHz, which I would like to convert to 8kHz sampling rate, efficiently/quickly but professionally & accurately (i.e. no aliasing etc.) Could anyone recommend me a tool for doing that (free software or Matlab)? (For example I know GoldWave is bad for this purpose since its anti-aliasing filter is unprofessional.)

I use Adobe Audition for the purpose ... though not free, i think there is a demo version available on the Adobe site Raghu twain wrote:> I have a large bunch of WAV files sampled at 44.1kHz and at 48kHz, which > I would like to convert to 8kHz sampling rate, efficiently/quickly but > professionally & accurately (i.e. no aliasing etc.) > > Could anyone recommend me a tool for doing that (free software or Matlab)? > > (For example I know GoldWave is bad for this purpose since its > anti-aliasing filter is unprofessional.)

Oh man, it's not for MSVC++, what a headache! Why won't you simple include an executable for Win32 on your web site? It says: "Building libsndfile using the microsoft compiler does not currently work. Microsoft's compiler is a C++ compiler and does not compile a number of ISO C99 Standard constructs. If you insist on compiling libsndfile with the microsoft compiler you are on your own.

"one thing i would have to say, Erik, while i respect the technical merit of your code (i've only looked at libsndfile), it is awfully opaque to read. a few years ago, i tried extracting the salient functions out of it to include in a simple C program i was writing to do some (undefined) music/sound processing on some .wav files. whenever i did, it left so many undefined symbols and such that i ended up writing a simple .wav file reader from scratch. that was simpler than making libsndfile work for me. i haven't yet tried to crack Secret Rabbit yet, but i have my own ways of doing SRC, and probably functionally equivalent to your ways, but with many fewer files and keystrokes. i'm just an EE who is a code minimalist, and frankly Erik, your code looks like something written by a hard-core professional working in a big company like Micro$oft. that may be good, in some regards, but it is not transparent. -- r b-j rbj@audioimagination.com "Imagination is more important than knowledge."
