GoldWave Inc.

Google for articles on equalization and mastering. Then start practicing on your own files. Sorry, there's, otherwise, no short, simple way to answer your questions.

Goldwave has all of the tools you need for the job. Apparently, you just need to learn how to use them.

You should consider looking at something like Izotope RX if you want more advanced NR capabilities. I doubt the GW developer has the financial incentive, given the price of the program, to do any upgrade on the NR module. There are features I would like added to GW that I know the developer will nev...

Just curious -- what are your computer specs?

You didn't find anything in the instruction manual? I know GW has fade functions; buttons are even included in the toolbar.

Have you tried a limiter?

There's a "file merge" function in Goldwave. I've used it. Don't know what menu it's listed in; you could check the manual.

It's really annoying because that marker keeps setting less-than-one-second record points when I'm recording forward over blank space. I have to stop and reselect.

Hm. I guess this is something I just never noticed.

Have you tried the demo, looked in the manual, Googled, or done a forum search? I'd think, after 27 years, there'd be a least a couple-dozen references to your topic of interest online somewhere, were it, indeed, applicable to Goldwave. No point in just waiting for the information to drift in. My ow...

The only thing I could find in an old copy of the GW manual was a 'Delete All' cue points command. I don't know whether that's what you're looking for or not.

I think VST3 support would be a much more important upgrade.

I've recorded stereo to Goldwave on a number of different PC's with no issue, so I'm guessing your hardware -- or at least your hardware setting -- is the problem.

You mean you've used Goldwave but have never used the spectral filter or parametric EQ? Just set the parameters according to your tips and listen to the results.

I've never noticed the feature you're looking for. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist; it just means I've never seen it.

I think there's a defeat button or checkbox on the window somewhere.

There aren't any settings you "should" use. The aim in actual processing is to strike a balance between noise reduction and artifacting. You might have to experiment to find the settings you want.

Check out the GW manual for more info.
