sox - The Command-line Audio Workstation
sox stands for Sound EXchange. And it is doubtless the most capable audio processing command line utility. Its power sometimes cannot be matched even by expensive DAWs with fancy graphics and high price tags.
In the traidition of UNIX simplicity sox does exactly what you want without having to resort to extra gymnastics like viewing the waveform or loading a GUI interface. Its power is as amazing as its speed.
You should read the manual page of sox(1) as well as soxexam(1) which is a marvellous intro to "audio effects". I tried some of them and was dumb founded how much one could do with the UNIX command line...
The default sox install cannot process mp3 files. So you have to first convert it into wav format or some other format sox understands.
