copied!<p>If you want to understand what the 'frame' is you will have to read the <strong>standard</strong> of the wave file format. For instance: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140221054954/http://home.roadrunner.com/~jgglatt/tech/wave.htm" rel="noreferrer">https://web.archive.org/web/20140221054954/http://home.roadrunner.com/~jgglatt/tech/wave.htm</a></p> <p>From that document:</p> <blockquote> <p>The sample points that are meant to be "played" ie, sent to a Digital to Analog Converter(DAC) simultaneously are collectively called a <strong>sample frame</strong>. In the example of our stereo waveform, every two sample points makes up another sample frame. This is illustrated below for that stereo example.</p> </blockquote> <pre><code>sample sample sample frame 0 frame 1 frame N _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ | ch1 | ch2 | ch1 | ch2 | . . . | ch1 | ch2 | |_____|_____|_____|_____| |_____|_____| _____ | | = one sample point |_____| </code></pre> <p>To convert to mono you could do something like this,</p> <pre><code>import wave def stereo_to_mono(hex1, hex2): """average two hex string samples""" return hex((ord(hex1) + ord(hex2))/2) wr = wave.open('piano2.wav','r') nchannels, sampwidth, framerate, nframes, comptype, compname = wr.getparams() ww = wave.open('piano_mono.wav','wb') ww.setparams((1,sampwidth,framerate,nframes,comptype,compname)) frames = wr.readframes(wr.getnframes()-1) new_frames = '' for (s1, s2) in zip(frames[0::2],frames[1::2]): new_frames += stereo_to_mono(s1,s2)[2:].zfill(2).decode('hex') ww.writeframes(new_frames) </code></pre> <p>There is no clear-cut way to go from stereo to mono. You could just drop one channel. Above, I am averaging the channels. It all depends on your application.</p>
