GoldWave Inc.

Yes. 5.12 is the current version. Upgrades are free, and you can use your current user name and "keys". Second, how would you suggest I go about learning the sytem? I'm a novice - I mean a real novice? What do you want to do with GoldWave? I'd suggest that you look-through the help file. I...

I assume Multiquence [/u] can do it. :) Or, check-out Audacity (Free!!!) [/u] or MultitrackStudio [/u] ($70 - 120). Actually, most higher-end audio editors can go beyond regular 2-channel stereo. GoldWave is pretty much the "top-of-the-line" stereo editor... I don't think you can find a be...

:( Probably not, unless the music is very quiet in the background. You can experiment with GoldWave's noise reduction filters, and you might try the noise gate. A noise gate basically shuts-off the sound completely when the level falls below a preset threshold. (There are some noise gate presets und...

Somehow, you've got "feedback." The monitor signal... the signal you are listening to while you record, is getting back into the input. (The digital processing / buffering is causing a delay which prevents the traditional feedback squeal.) Make sure that you have NOT selected Stereo Mix , ...

Is the squeaking noise a result of the noise reduction? Was it there before you removed the hissing and humming? The noise reduction process can sometimes add noises, called artifacts. If this is the case, you can play around with the noise reduction settings. Sometimes you are better off leaving so...

It's technically impossible to know what the peak was supposed to "look like" before it was clipped. However, I have heard of a "peak unlimiter"... And, it should be possible re-construct a rounded top to the waveforms, even if we don't know the true height and shape of the origi...

GoldWave doesn't have those tools. However, it can use some Direct-X plug-ins and there is a FREE Plug-in that allows you to use WinAmp plug-ins. ...I don't know if you can find the tools you're looking for. I haven't tried these, but a couple of programs that have an exciter tool are: MultiTrack St...

Can you further explain the process...

Sorry. I was trying to say that ideally you wouldn't start-out with an MP3. But, you probably don't have a choice.

The time pressure is bad, when you're trying something new... :( I haven't used Multiquence, but I suspect that 65CJ5 is right. There are some things you can do with GoldWave - (A hard "paste" or "splice" is NOT going to sound good.) I've done something similar to what you are at...

...if there is any point in saving the cleaned mp3 at a higher bit rate and sample rate... Generally, no. MP3 is "lossy" compression and it throws-away data. It's something like taking a low-resolution photo and re-saving it in high resolution. Well maybe... For example, there are program...

:shock: Weird! Are you sure this is a mono recording? When you open the file in GoldWave, do you see one waveform or both left & right waveforms? If it is truly a mono file, then there is not left or right "data" and you've got something wrong with your soundcard/soundchip. If it's act...

(the line-outs on both are spec'd at 150mV).

Interesting... I usually consider "line level" to be about 1 volt. I'm actually working on a hardware project right now, and before I'm done I'm probably going to find-out what the line-out on my receiver is

The VOLUME -> MAXIMIZE function will increase the volume the exact amount needed to set the peaks at 0dB. The program will scan the file and show the current peak before you click 'OK". If there is already a 0dB peak, it won't do anything. In general, 0dB is the digital maximum. You can't go ov...

Or, after you've already got your recording - EFFECT -> VOLUME -> MAXIMIZE. This increases the volume of the entire file so that the loudest part is 0dB* I almost always maximize my analog recordings. Most commercial CDs are already maximized. (Sometimes this is called normalize .) If you already ha...

...re-read my problem and tell me how to fix it. Say Please! Really Lexxweb, this is a user-to-user board where we try to help each other. It sounds like you are demanding an answer. My initial inclination was to ignore you. If nobody here can help you, try sending your question directly to GoldWav...
