mw

mw is an interactive, text-mode audio sample editor. Audio files provided as arguments on the command line can be inspected, edited, mixed and exported.

If you're ever in a terminal/tmux session and just wanted to get a look at and maybe edit a sound file without having to open a window, this is a tool for you!

How to Use

Run mw from the command line with audio files as arguments. mw uses the pydub package to read audio and supports any file format ffmpeg does.

$ mw my_voice.wav robot_sounds.wav

File arguments are added to an internal stack and mw will present a command prompt. Some commands mw supports include: fadein, fadeout, silence, crop, bloop, split, bounce, and export.

For a complete list of commands, enter help at the prompt or read mw's manpage.
