Create an audio test CD of sine waves from 1 to 99 Hz

(echo CD_DA; for f in {01..99}; do echo "$f Hz">&2; sox -nt cdda -r44100 -c2 $f.cdda synth 30 sine $f; echo TRACK AUDIO; echo FILE \"$f.cdda\" 0; done) > cdrdao.toc && cdrdao write cdrdao.toc && rm ??.cdda cdrdao.toc
This command creates and burns a gapless audio CD with 99 tracks. Each track is a 30 second sine wave, the first is 1 Hz, the second 2 Hz, and so on, up to 99 Hz. This is useful for testing audio systems (how low can your bass go?) and for creating the constant vibrations needed to make non-Newtonian fluids (like cornstarch and water) crawl around. Note, this temporarily creates 500MB of .cdda files in the current directory. If you don't use the "rm" at the end of the command, you can burn more disks using cdrdao write cdrdao.toc Prerequisites: a blank CD-R in /dev/cdrw, sox (http://sox.sourceforge.net/), and cdrdao (http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/). I'm also assuming a recent version of bash for the brace expansion (which just looks nicer than using seq(1), but isn't necessary).

What Others Think

Very nice. Just a small note: You don't have to have bash. The very same command line works fine with zsh (even quite old versions), too, including the brace expansion.

Hi, Sasnfbi1234! Thanks for trying my script. I asked Google and it (he? she?) said that you don't have the proper sox libraries installed. Here's the link http://blog.px.ns1.net/2008/06/27/sox-soxio-failed-reading-unknown-file-type/ If you're using Debian (or a Debian derived distribution like Ubuntu) you can fix it like so: apt-get install libsox-fmt-all
