Re: Enabling LADSPA When Building a SOX Binary

Progress, hitting a final wall perhaps:

It seems like everything is in order for enabling ladspa. Awesome! The last
challenge I'm having is using a choice ladspa plugin to bring pitch to my
currently narrative thank you song voices with the vocoder plugin found
here:

http://www.sirlab.de/linux/download_vocoder_ladspa.html

Installation was pretty straightforward:

wget http://www.sirlab.de/linux/download/vocoder-ladspa-0.4.tgz
tar zxf vocoder-ladspa-0.4.tgz
cd vocoder-0.4
#edit INSTALL_PLUGINS_DIR in Makefile to taste, then
make
make install

Eric,
It looks like the example I originally found from 2012 was written by you
(cool!):
https://sourceforge.net/p/sox/patches/92/

When I attempt to run this, I'm thinking some things have changed since
then as I see errors (or I'm likely doing something wrong to start):

sox -M formant.wav carrier.wav \
-b 16 result.wav rate 44100 \
ladspa vocoder 16 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

Result:

sox FAIL rate: usage: ...

Edit (rate to --rate):

sox -M formant.wav carrier.wav \
-b 16 result.wav --rate 44100 \
ladspa vocoder 16 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

Result:

sox FAIL formats: can't open input file `1': No such file or directory

If I run this:

analyseplugin vocoder

The ports hint to me that I'm using it out of order within SOX perhaps?
