[Trainer-Talk] audio editing software

Mon Mar 1 13:59:07 UTC 2021

Hi Ashley.
Yes to all of your questions. Don already told you about the trial, and you can go to goldwave.ca to look up current pricing. I purchased a license in 2012, and am still getting free updates now. They no longer add features to the software versions that run on Windows 7 and older, but the last time I visited their site, they had the final version for 7 and older available. All the things you asked about can be done on the older software.

Good luck,
Scott
