Sox: Convert a .wav file with required properties in a single command I have a `test.wav` file. I need to use this file to process an application, with following properties: 1. monochannel 2. 16 kHz sample rate 3. 16-bit Now, I'm using the following commands to attain these properties: sox disturbence.wav -r 16000 disturbence_16000.wav sox disturbence_16000.wav -c 1 disturbence_1600_mono.wav sox disturbence_1600_mono.wav -s -b 16 disturbence_1600_mono_16bit.wav Here to get a single file, three steps are involved and two temporary files are created. It is a time-consuming process. I thought of writing a script to do these process but I'm keeping this is a last option. In single command, can I convert a `.wav` file to the required format?

`sox disturbence.wav -r 16000 -c 1 -b 16 disturbence_16000_mono_16bit.wav`

gives within one command

* Sample rate of 16 kHz (`-r 16000`),
* one channel (mono) (`-c 1`),
* 16 bits bit depth (`-b 16`).
