It's been awhile since I had that problem but you might try a download manager . I sort-of thought that was built-into Windows now, but maybe my "big'" problems went-away when I upgraded from dial-up. ...I have the slowest DSL plan but it doesn't cut-off. And, I have Internet access at wor...

If this is an MP3 it's normal to have a little added silence at the beginning and at the end. (It should be less than 1/2 second.)

MP3 is lossy compression so it's imperfect and that's one of the imperfections.

LAME/MP3 FAQ

You'll probably have to dig through the Windows settings. Start by right-clicking the Windows speaker/volume icon then Open Sound Settings and look for "advanced" settings for you soundcard/speakers and maybe some kind of "enhancements" that might alter the sound. ...I found some...

Wow & flutter correction isn't mainstream & affordable yet. Capstan is $200 USD to rent for 5 days or $4500 to buy! It's a recently added feature to Izotope RX Advanced ($1000).

This Wikipedia Page has links to several related technical documents. I also found: github.com/jiixyj/loudness-scannerv github.com/jiixyj/libebur128 Audacity now has "Loudness Normalization" and it's open source so you could dig-into the code. (Audacity won't show you the current loudness...

The volume of (only) the basses should be somehow increased. Effect -> Filter -> Equalizer. The low frequency (bass) sliders are on the left and the high-frequencies (treble) are on the right. The song should become more clearer (for this song for the full range = not only the bass) The music instr...

From what I understand the Exclusive Mode drivers won't re-sample so if your hardware doesn't support a particular sample rate it won't work. Some soundcards only run at 48kHz, or only at 44.1kHz, and everything else is re-sampled by the drivers. In regular Shared Mode the drivers will resample when...

Yeah... Limiting is a fast kind of dynamic compression so with GoldWave try Effect -> Compressor/Expander and try the Reduce Peaks or Reduce Loud Parts preset. You can tweak the settings if you don't get the exact results you're looking for.

I'm still stuck on this issue. I can play records on the phonograph and the sound is fine through the computer's speakers, but I can't record anything. If the sound is getting into the computer you should be able to record it... Maybe you have a driver problem... Go to Options -> Control Properties...

Windows may be configured for mono. Right-click the Windows volume/speaker icon and select Open Sound Settings . Go to "Input Devices" or "Recording Devices" (depending on your version of Windows), select the USB device and try to find the stereo/mono settings. It might be under ...

The low frequency cut is always a good idea for anything that's not specifically bass. With voice, anything in the low-frequency range is noise. Otherwise, "Diagnosis before treatment" and "If it ain't broke, don't fix it. so we can't tell you what your recording needs (if anything)....

I'm not aware of any way to choose any FLAC level within Gwave. You're right, you can't select 0-8. I don't use FLAC that much so I'd forgotten that. I only see "Maximum" which is obviously level 8, and "High". I just did a quick experiment and the "Maximum" file was o...

It's unpredictable but FLAC level 8 will give you the maximum compression (smallest files = lowest bitrate). The actual bitrate also depends on the uncompressed format and the program material Some material is easer to compress and some is harder to compress. You can usually get a file that's about ...
