# sndfile-mix-to-mono(1)

mix a multi-channel sound file to mono

## NAME

sndfile-mix-to-mono - mix a multi-channel sound file to mono

## SYNOPSIS

**sndfile-mix-to-mono** \<multi-channel input file\> \<mono output file\>

## DESCRIPTION

sndfile-mix-to-mono reads a multi-channel input file and writes a single channel output file consisting of all of the input channels mixed together (like a audio mixing desk would do). The input and output files are read/written using libsndfile (http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/).

The format of the output file is determined by the filename extension of the output file.
