Audio waveform generation

• https://github.com/bbc/audiowaveform?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

To generate peaks of an audio waveform, you need to:

1. install podman - https://podman.io/
2. create an alias in powershell / cmd / zshrc
3. move to working directory where the wav/mp3 mix exists and run the following:

awf -i [FILENAME_HERE] -o waveform.json --pixels-per-second 20

Creating an alias in Powershell

Need to add a function to the profile file. CHeck if it exists: Test-Path $PROFILE
If it returns False, create it with: New-Item -Path $PROFILE -ItemType File -Force

Open the profile in your editor: notepad $PROFILE

Add the function at the end of the file:

function awf {
    podman run --rm -v "${PWD}:/tmp" -w /tmp realies/audiowaveform @Args
}

Save and close Notepad then either reload the profile or restart PowerShell.
