- Description
- The Sound Designer II audio file stored with the .sd2f extension, which comes from the format's classic Mac OSType "Sd2f" and appears instead of .sd2 on files that have passed through Mac software. The format is the same Digidesign/Pro Tools big-endian PCM audio as .sd2.
- SPHERE (SPeech HEader Resources) is a file format defined by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and is used with speech audio. SoX can read these files when they contain μ-law and PCM data. It will ignore any header information that says the data is compressed using shorten compression and will treat the data as either μ-law or PCM. This will allow SoX and the command line shorten program to be run together using pipes to encompasses the data and then pass the result to SoX for processing.
