Hey

In the past, a few of us have discussed sound editing software, and today I just found a complete doozy !! Freeware, unlimited, and can edit and convert a multitude of formats, and rip from and burn to disk as well. This thing is just an utter gem - and so easy to use right from the start.

WavePad from NCH SwiftSound.

Enjoy

Nice find! I'm often asked about recording software - I'll add this one to the list.

interesting. for now i'll stick to audacity, which suits my purposes just fine, but i'll definitely bookmark this one. good find.

 

A friend of mine raves over Audacity! I really must give it a go.

Harry.

 

This is turning out more productive than I thought. OK, I have now downloaded Audacity and having used WavePad for a good while earlier today, I will rerun the same project and report back. Nice one, d.

 

Audacity has the advantage that even a total idiot can use it. I'm not a sound junky (I love music, but I've never come at it from a techy perspective) and time and again I've found sound editing applications beyond me as they are too complicated.

 

Well, I just spent half an hour on the same project with Audacity, and while there may be more features deeper in, I have to say that I find WavePad easier to work with, for example being able to manually wind back and forward through a track using cursor keys. Maybe familiarity, I don't know, but I had most of what I wanted to do done by this time and I don't even know where to start with Audacity - switched back already .

Plus WavePad has prettier colours too

 

Gav, see my comment about idiots .

Just kidding, maybe I'll give WavePad a go next time I need to do some sound editing.

 

Damn - I thought I had worded my reply to compliment your comments on being idiot-proof, and that WavePad was even simpler. Seems I just landed myself in it !!
