    Fellow command line friends, is there a good, reasonably in-depth tutorial about #ffmpeg for audio editing somewhere? I'd like to use it for editing recordings that just need format conversion and metatags and maybe loudness normalization, but so far, I cobble together the necessary tags by duckduckgoing every time.

    The official documentation lacks the "this is how you put the options together" examples that would help me actually use the options.

      @draco It's not exactly what you're asking, but I can send you the script I use for my debris recordings if you'd like. It basically just cobbles together ffmpeg and has most of these features.

        @dried I would definitely be interested in this as well! I have the same issue as @draco.

          @dried that would be excellent. I mean, in the end, I'm probably going to write a script myself, once I've figured out all the things.

            @reillypascal @draco Here's a slightly older but easier to read version; I've updated it since to be a little more ergonomic to use but the underlying ffmpeg calls are roughly the same:

            https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2455028

            It uses metaflac for tagging and ffmpeg-normalize for normalization. ffmpeg preserves tags when converting from flac to mp3. The ffmpeg-normalize call here keeps the loudness range but you can set a LUFS target with `-t -14` (ie for -14dB) instead of `--keep-loudness-target`.

              @reillypascal @draco metaflac is in the flac package in the debian repos. ffmpeg-normalize can be installed with pip - https://slhck.info/ffmpeg-normalize/

                @dried thanks! I added this to my Obsidian notes on ffmpeg, and it should be very helpful.
