I have a python script that reads in all the *.wav files in a directory and saves them in a folder called output after it adjusts their volume.
lower.py:
import osfrom pydub import AudioSegment as ass# get the current working directorycurrent_working_directory = os.getcwd()all_files = os.listdir();while len(all_files) > 0: file = all_files.pop() song = ass.from_wav(file) song = song - 16 song.export('out\\'+file)https://github.com/tibberous/ChangeWavVolume/tree/fixed
The problem is (and this took me a LONG time to figure out), after the files are output once, if you try to read them again with AudioSegment ::from_wav(file), ffmpeg throws an error saying it can't decode the file. The output wav files play in Windows Media Player, and even have their audio adjusted, but I am guessing there somehow an error either in the file data itself or the file headers.
I put the code on github. Checkout the branch 'fixed'.
Btw, I just installed everything, so I should have the current versions of everything. I am using the Chocolatey package manager for Windows 10. Read README.txt (in progress) to see how I setup my dev environment.
