Read sound from audio file (DEPRECATED) — read_sound • pladdrr

**DEPRECATED:** This S3 function is deprecated. Use the R6 interface instead: Sound$new(file_path)

Usage

read_sound(file_path, channel = 0)

Arguments

file_path: Path to audio file (WAV/AIFF/FLAC/MP3 via Praat, others via av fallback)
channel: Channel to read (0 = left, 1 = right) - ignored in R6

Value

Sound R6 object

Examples

tmp <- tempfile(fileext = ".wav")
Sound$create_tone(frequency = 440, duration = 0.2)$save(tmp)

# Old S3 approach (DEPRECATED)
sound <- read_sound(tmp)
#> Warning: read_sound() is deprecated and will be removed in v6.0.0. Use Sound$new(file_path) instead. For channel extraction, use sound$extract_channel(channel).

# New R6 approach (RECOMMENDED)
sound <- Sound$new(tmp)
unlink(tmp)
