:?: Clipping? With earlier versions of GoldWave, you had to reduce the level before any processing that would increase the level. Otherwise the peaks would be clipped. Sometimes was a trial-and-error process. GoldWave now uses 32-bits for temporary storage. This means that you can actually increase ...

It’s probably just a coincidence that your loud CDs are distorted. I really think your CDs are bad. EAC will tell you if it gets data-errors, and it will try to correct them. So, give it a try when you get a chance to download it. (I downloaded it over dial-up. It's only a little over 1 MB.) I don't...

Nick, I' don't know what's going on.... :? You've mentioned before that your signals were clipped at less than 0dB, and I've wonderd why. Maybe it's your soundcard or sound chip??? I assume that this happens only while recording... I assume the you get normal-shapped 0dB peaks if you maximize after ...

...is there any way to make a sound sound more hollow? Try Effect->Reverb . (Reverb is the echo-like sound you get in a concert hall, or a tiled-bathroom.) I'm trying to create a sound effect that starts out normal then goes kind of hollow... GoldWave automatically can't "fade-in" an effe...

First off, just be aware that your results won't be "CD quality". So if you're picky about audio quality, and the CD if it's available, just buy it! :roll: You shouldn't need GoldWave. You don't need to do that much audio editing, and Nero seems to have all of the basic audio editing featu...

All audio CDs are 44.1 kHz 16-bit PCM stereo. (A mono CD has identical left & right channels.) There is no advantage to recording at a lower quality. The original CD spec allowed 74 minutes of audio. I don't know if the spec has actually been changed to 80 minutes, or if this is still beyond the...

I don't get the point of your post... Aftermath, The point is, sometimes there is no need for an upgrade. I've been involved in high-tech long enough to know that frequent updates are a bad thing! Software is a tool. I don’t get nervous because they haven’t released an update for my drill press. I’...

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Goldwave is a very mature, stable product. There is no need to release updates, fixes & patches every month. When (if) V6 is released, it may have some features I want... who knows. And since upgrades are free, I'll try it out. Most of the software o...

Chris will have to answer this one... but, I'll take a guess. I think GoldWave uses 32-bit floating-point for "internal" storage & processing. This means you can use effects that increase the volume, and would nornmally cause clipping with 16-bit values. (I think you will get clipping ...

I don't think you can do that. :( You can select a section, and EQ that section only, but you'll get a sudden transition as the effect kicks-in and out. If I understand correctly, you want to make a smooth transition between the Equalized section and the unprocessed section. I suggested something li...

Did that function come after version 4.26?
I don't know when that feature was added, but upgrades are FREE!
