sox: Trim an audio file to the specified times.

$ sox ${input_audiofile} ${output_audiofile} trim ${start} ${end}

try on your machine

This command uses the "sox" audio processing tool to trim a section of an input audio file and save it as an output audio file.

• "${input_audiofile}" is a placeholder for the path and name of the input audio file. • "${output_audiofile}" is a placeholder for the desired path and name of the output audio file. • "trim" is an option in sox that indicates that a section of the audio should be trimmed. • "${start}" is a placeholder for the start time (in seconds) of the section to be trimmed. • "${end}" is a placeholder for the end time (in seconds) of the section to be trimmed.

By providing the appropriate values for "${input_audiofile}", "${output_audiofile}", "${start}", and "${end}", this command will extract the specified section of audio from the input file and save it as the output file.
