how to merge audio using ffmpeg, not concat

Question

I want audio files to be merged and be the length of the longest one of course.

Not to concat them, which means adding one behind the other.

I tried googling since yesterday night, but didn't found any such thing. Is this really possible ?

Yes, it is probably possible, but to give you an example I'd like to see the complete output of ffmpeg -i input1 -i input2 -i input3. — llogan, Sep 13 '13 at 18:18
@LordNeckbeard found the solution thanks ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#amix — coding_idiot, Sep 14 '13 at 2:38

For helping others, I'm posting the solution I found :

Mixes multiple audio inputs into a single output.

For example

ffmpeg -i INPUT1 -i INPUT2 -i INPUT3 -filter_complex amix=inputs=3:duration=first:dropout_transition=3 OUTPUT

Above command will mix 3 input audio streams to a single output with the same duration as the first input and a dropout transition time of 3 seconds.

I don't need a transition. How do I skip that? – chovy Mar 21 '17 at 0:44
@chovy have you tried 0 for dropout_transition ? – coding_idiot Mar 21 '17 at 19:41
