The below is a not-bad place to check out, in case you ever decide to do more equipment shopping and want a broader range of opinion. Gearslutz is mainly for pros and Vinyl Injury regulars trigger too easily, IMO:

Would appreciate some advice. I'm about ready to do some vinyl-to-digital transfers but need a new preamp. Any suggestions for a simple preamp between my Technics last-century turntable and Goldwave on the Windows PC? I used to have a mixer but it disappeared several moves ago, so ... I assume that...

Zoom works fine now with the latest update. Thanks.

I tried to switch these settings to "Shared" and see what happen. Guess what, all the clicks and Pops were GONE, problem FIXED! I tryed to switch again both values back to "PCM 16-bit" as a test, and the random clicks and pops were back upon playback ... test successful, found it! Regards, iBypass ...

Yeah, I think I've had the same problem. I used to think the scroll problem was caused by changing themes. I'm beginning to think otherwise. Thing is, "tabs" is the only display format I like, so I simply won't use GoldWave if I can't use a tabbed display.

Post system details: OS version, CPU, etc.

Update: 26-Oct-19. OK, I've been checking this thread for 5 days. I've lost interest, and I'm moving on.

I'm not seeing that problem so far. What themes have you tried? I just tried several at random; I can't remember which ones. I also changed the waveform and background color schemes, and merged some files. I guess the zoom problem could have been caused by any one of those things, or something else...

I have the same problem with 6.42. The scroll wheel on my mouse becomes ineffective after doing a theme change. It works fine right after installing the program and all of the settings are on default.

If you've experienced installation problems with programs other than Goldwave, a Goldwave bug obviously isn't the cause. A processor "bug" is. Maybe an updated BIOS from AMD would help? Otherwise, you'll just have to make do with an earlier version of Goldwave, I fear.

I logged onto your website and sent a message.

PM me if you'd like. I use VST plugs regularly, but not with Goldwave. I'd be happy to explain why privately.

To the OP: In extreme cases, you have to zoom in to the offending pop and basically redraw the waveform to get rid of it. There's an interpolation tool that helps a little bit, but getting it aligned correctly is very much a matter of working with the eyes. You can't just punch a button in a module ...

Isn't the Dragonfly playback only? I think most people use it just as a headphone amp. If you want to record via USB you'll have to get something with audio inputs as well.

At any rate, this isn't a GoldWave issue.

I'm kind of surprised you haven't discovered the answer on your own, after using Goldwave for so long. At any rate, I've never found a way to automate what you have in mind. Goldwave would have to search for silent areas in a file, and somehow distinguish them from simple pauses in a sample. That's ...

OP: you could clear up a few mysteries just by downloading the demo and running it. Why ask others for info when you could find out for yourself?
