How to record audio on the SGI
Using the SGI workstations to record audio is extremely simple.
You can either run "capture" at your athena% prompt, or double-click on
the camera icon to bring up a native SGI program, which will allow you
to capture either sound, movies, or pictures.
The SGI's will save your sound file by default as "capture.aifc",
indicating that it is in the AIFC format (used on the SGI). You can
convert this AIFC format sound file to AIFF format by typing:
athena% aifc2aiff -verbose capture.aifc capture.aiff
You can then use the "sox" program in the audio/outland lockers to
convert a .aifc file into a .au file:
athena% add audio
athena% sox -t aiff filename.aiff -r 8012 -U -b filename.au
