Re: Gratitude for years of Goldwave use
Oh how time passes. I concur with the initial post and second these emotions. I cannot recall when I began to use GoldWave, but do recall it was not purchased until approximately 2.50 years later. My situation is unique to some millions of computer folk who span the globe. I am completely blind and ...

Re: best settings to save an MP3 file
Does hearing ability have anything to do with it? Not being able to see and have never been able to see enables me to use my ears like you use your eyes. Throughout my life I have heard distinctions few people hear unless they are audibly trained somehow but to me it comes natural. Ever since I bega...

Re: best settings to save an MP3 file
Even if the hardware existed, you wouldn't be able to upgrade your ears to hear that much dynamic range. Chris Amen. One thing I (inadvertently) do to gauge quality of (re)mastering, is to save it as a low bit-rate MP3, maybe 96kbps. A great quality (re)mastering will still sound "good" a...

Re: best settings to save an MP3 file
But is all hardware capable of 24-bit playback at maximum? If so applications would have no use for 64-bit floating point capabilities so something has to be high-end enough to play 64-bit audio.

Re: Recording Cassettes
My default Shared mode is 24 bit 192000 hertz as set on the internal sound card. I set it to IEEE before I recorded but when set to DirectSound from what I remember there is no Shared mode.

Re: Recording Cassettes
USB recording for some reasons just doesn't work. I was hoping chris would have fixed that by now. Thanks for saying something. This is something that needs to be addressed before the smaller bugs. for basic recording, directsound is fine, you're not missing anything. Trust me. I am guessing you ar...

Recording Cassettes
My mother got me this tape-to-digital converter. Nothing too high-end but it is the thought I appreciate. It comes with Audacity but of course it is only natural for me to laugh to myself and say I use GoldWave. It uses a USB cable to connect from this rectangular player to the computer. I found no ...

Re: trimming both front and back of a song
Lenny, that is nothing but a now reported spammer. Open the file and press CTRL+T to return the AutoTrim command. Set the threshold to -90dB, silence to 0.000 if you want no silence and the radio button to both leading and trailing silence. Setting the threshold to -90dB will ensure every single tra...

Re: Can you pull music from dvd's that come with the cd's
There is a program called DVD Audio Extractor. Try that and if that does not work the DVD audio streams are copy-protected. In that case you run something in the background but this forum is not the right place to name names. I am not afraid to speak the truth [not promote whatever people say I woul...

Re: best settings to save an MP3 file
@ Moonmist. That is a good point regarding saving the modified MP3 as a WAV file to preserve whatever quality might still exist. I second the 64 floating point precision suggestion. That should be incorporated in the GoldWave Set-Up if not somewhere in the GoldWave options or other part of the progr...

Re: best settings to save an MP3 file
GoldWave's status bar can provide the information regarding the attributes of the original file in question. It provides format as well. The only time it will not give clear results is if DirectShow or MediaFoundation decoders are used.

Re: best settings to save an MP3 file
Firstly, editing an MP3 file if that is what you are doing is not too smart because you will lose quality no matter how you save it. Secondly, what is the sample rate and bit rate of the original MP3 file? Saving in higher quality [e.g. 224 KBPS 48000 hertz when the original is 192 KBPS 44100 hertz]...

Re: Question
No matter what type of licence you acquire you will receive 1 User ID and 1 License code you input in their respective fields. No upgrade will be performed unless you actually install a new version over the old. Some software programs auto-update but not GoldWave. Version 5.58 is not much different ...

Re: Different Type Of Plug-In
I heard about that process but knew nothing was published. I guess that is one of the mysteries of audio that will probably never be solved. Sounds like it might work though.

Different Type Of Plug-In
Reverberation is simply reflection of a sound. The opposite of that is absorbtion. Is there any keyboard accessible plug-in, either DirectX or VST, that is compatible with GoldWave that would simulate sound absorbtion? I have video files from which I want to extract audio. The audio contains excess ...
