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!

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.
