Back in December, when I bought my Mac 'mini,' I discovered a handy
little icon on the right side of the bottom tool bar - I think that Mac
users call that kind of a toolbar a 'Dock' - and it lets you try out
Unix, and learn as you go. I don't have any real experience with Unix,
and this is the first Mac I've ever had. Quite pleased with the
purchase, all in all. But I'm still learning how to use a Mac.
So . . . a few months went by, and a week ago I bought a book about
Unix for the 'Tiger' species of the Mac. It's a pretty big book, and
I'll admit I haven't exactly read it all the way through yet. I'm
pretty new to Unix.
Is it possible to add commands to Darwin?
For example, let's say I have a large number of .WAV files in the
harddrive I'm looking at, is there any easy way for me to extract the
major frequencies from them, assuming I also specify an estimated
sample rate, a particular playback rate, and the depths into the file
I am examining? (This would be the first step toward creating
sound envelopes for them. I think.)
Or has somebody already done that, and it's already available as a 'C'
program?
