I am using following command to merge two audio file, which works fine.

ffmpeg -i main.mp3 -filter_complex "amovie=tag.wav:loop=0,asetpts=N/SR/TB[tag]; [0][tag]amix=duration=shortest,volume=2" tag-out.mp3

But what I really need to do is repeat and delay 10 seconds the audio tag depending on the main song length. Also, the main song audio volume lowers while the audio tag plays.

Any ideas/help appreciated. Thanks.

  • This command already repeats the tag. What does delay 10 seconds mean - - the initial start time of the tag?

  • Yes, I want to play tag file after each 10 seconds like main audio file length is 50 seconds then tag file should be merge only 5 time on every 10 seconds of position.

Since you wish to alter effective length of the tag, skip the amovie looping and use the aloop filter after padding the audio to 10s. 

ffmpeg -i main.mp3 -filter_complex "amovie=tag.wav,asetpts=N/SR/TB,apad=whole_dur=10,aloop=-1:1M:0[tag]; [0][tag]amix=duration=shortest,volume=2" -vn tag-out.mp3

  • You'll need a recent static git/snapshot build.
