NAME

       audio2tape - Sinclair ZX Spectrum audio to tape file converter

SYNOPSIS

       audio2tape  [-t  type]  [-s]  [-r]  [-k]  [-z  level] [-c level] infile
       outfile

DESCRIPTION

       audio2tape converts audio files to ZX Spectrum tape images.

OPTIONS

       -t type
              causes type to be used as the level detection trigger. There are
              two  triggers  implemented;  the  simple  trigger  just  uses  a
              threshold value to convert to a one or zero on output,  and  the
              schmitt  trigger  implements  a  Schmitt trigger which outputs a
              less noisy signal, but requires a stronger signal to noise ratio
              than the simple trigger. The default trigger is "schmitt".

       -s     causes the display of a frequency graph showing the sound levels
              present in the audio file. This can  be  useful  when  selecting
              good crossover points.

       -r     causes  any  ROM  blocks  that  are  recognised to use idealised
              timing figures rather than the exact ones  found  in  the  audio
              file.

       -k     causes  the  tape  file  that is produced to keep any audio data
              from the original audio file that isn't  recognised.  This  will
              allow  unsupported  loading schemes, encryption tones etc. to be
              preserved in the file that is produced.

       -z level
              causes level to be used as the zero point in the supplied  audio
              file,  it  allows  adjustment for a DC offset in the audio file.
              The default level is 127 from a range of 0-255.

       -c level
              causes level to be used as the Schmitt trigger noise  threshold,
              this  reduces the sensitivity to noise in the provided file. The
              default level is 8 from a range of 0-127.

       infile specifies the audio file to be converted. This file  can  be  in
              any of the tape formats supported by libaudiofile.

       outfile
              specifies the output tape file. The format will be determined by
              the  file  extension  and  can  be  in  any   of   the   formats
              libspectrum(3) supports for output.

BUGS

       None known.
