Sorry, but you're never going to be able to use all 4 gigs on 32-bit Windows, and that's not just for GW but for any application. Regardless of the amount of physical memory in your system, Windows uses a virtual address space of 4 GB, with 2 GB allocated to user-mode processes (for example, applica...

One slight quibble I have is with the way GW can sometimes steal the focus on you. Any operation that requires a pre-scan will generally result in the window following the pre-scan to pop to the top of the Z order, even in front of other app windows. For example, while typing the first sentence of t...

GoldWave uses 32 bit floats for it's own internal format, so you can double the size of the converted file to determine how big the temp files will be.

1180 thanks, mh. (1000 thanks + taxes). Problem solved (on my computer). Now I have to persuade the Administrator to do the same with all our other (317) computers. :shock: :shock: :shock: If an administrator is using FAT32 on networked XP boxes, they have no business being an administrator in the ...

You win the bet, I do have FAT32. Is there a way of overcoming this? A number of ways. XP comes with a program called Convert - I'm not sure if there's a graphical version but you can access it from the command prompt (Start | Run | cmd | OK). Type "convert C: /FS:NTFS" (without quotes), ...

Open up "My Computer" and check out your Filesystem type. Does it say NTFS or FAT32? My bet is FAT32 and you're hitting a file size limit for that filesystem type.

The only way I can figure you're getting such huge file sizes is if you're saving as a 192 KHz 64 bit format. I'd advise to check the bit rate you select when you create a new file, and to check your default save format. Note that what rate you actually record at is not really relevant here (in fact...

These might help: Whatever else you do, don't burn to CD without playing the recording back on your PC first. Record a small section first to make sure you have everything OK. When you finish recording by pressing the Stop button, you'll see the recorded wave. If it looks like this it's bad. Correct...

Pink is microphone in, try connecting to blue (http://www.audiotoolers.com/ubbt/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/7799). If you don't have a blue, you don't have a line in and will need a new soundcard.

From what it sounds like (and I'm guessing here), you have your tape deck connected to the mic input on your soundcard. Could be you're using a laptop that only has a mic input, so you'll really need to get a USB soundcard for this to work at all. We'll need more info on what equipment you're using ...

I would guess that the cause of your problem is that the first few bytes of the raw file are accidentally matching with the header of a known file type. One way of fixing it might be to hack the first byte in a hex editor: just increase or decrease the value by 1, and it should break the match and o...

There is no 100% perfect solution, from the old "can't unbake a cake" principle. All suggestions so far are good. The single most important thing is to not overdo it.

I'd just add that I've found a 40 Hz Steepness 5 highpass filter very useful too.

Anvil Studio is good for what you need. Free too.

Aye, there was a way of getting round it in the old days, but I won't post it.

Anyway, I also recommend registering, the price is total peanuts for what you get, and the personal level of support makes it almost pay for itself.

You can't put ID3 tags on a WAV file . The WAV format can contain all kinds of custom information, but there is no standard for tagging, and unless the playback software can support reading back the custom information (in the same format as it was originally written), you will get absolutely nothin...
