sox: Reverse and save an audio file.
$ sox ${input_audiofile} ${output_audiofile} reverse
try on your machine

This command uses the SoX (Sound eXchange) audio processing tool to reverse an audio file.

Here is how each component of the command works:

  • ${input_audiofile} represents the input file path and name for the audio file that you want to reverse. This variable needs to be replaced with the actual file path and name.

  • ${output_audiofile} represents the output file path and name for the reversed audio file. This variable also needs to be replaced with the desired file path and name.

  • reverse is a SoX command option that indicates that the audio should be reversed. It tells SoX to play the audio in reverse order, from the end to the beginning.

By running this command, SoX will take the input audio file, apply the reverse effect, and generate a new output audio file with the reversed audio.
