[Trainer-Talk] audio editing software

Thu Mar 11 22:55:50 UTC 2021

Ashley,

The most recent version of Gold Wave is 6.54 and has the date of 01-15-2021 in the version number. The Gold Wave Web site indicates that it works on Windows 7 or later.

I am not a regular user of Gold Wave and, for this and other reasons, I am not able to provide support off list. However, Brian Hartgen<http://www.hartgen.org/> does sell a complete Gold Wave tutorial.

Reaper is great for those seriously interested in multi-tracking audio. For what you are doing, Goldwave should work.

Reaper setup is complex but doable but I think Goldwave should work for you.

Hello,

I am going to try GoldWave. Yes, their site still has the version for windows 7 available which is great news for me. I don't need any updates so it does not bother me they are not updating this version. I intend to do basic stuff.

Maybe someone who uses it can discuss off list. I'd like some tips on splitting files. I need to take a large file and split into small ones to make a cd of songs or topics of people talking.

I found the keyboard command to create the cue points. But, what I'm wondering is if I need to make two cue points to create one file or just one and Goldwave will know what to split then when I  go to the tools menu to split files.

If I get good enough with this, I could teach others what to do as well.

Someone asked if I tried Reaper. No, I have not.

Feel free to tell me what you like about Reaper and I am wondering if that is free software or a free trial at least with menus. Personally, I find software with menus and keyboard shortcut keys easiest to use.

Thanks!

Ashley

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
