Re: how to remaster a song, give it a fresh sound ?

Optical? Maybe this great, new, Lightray technology!!! Just plug it into a light socket! No electrical outlets, back then! It was funny, not sure this one [photo], but VERY costly (for its time), plus, you had to buy the speaker and tubes separately! Not sure about USB! :lol: This is from a real pap...

Re: how to remaster a song, give it a fresh sound ?

My avatar is not a Sony. It's an Akai GX-365D. My grandfather found it at a yard sale and picked it up for me. It works; but that particular Akai unit had some issues. First were the control relays; they like to blow up and can't be replaced. Mine work; but it needs to have every capciator changed ...

Re: how to remaster a song, give it a fresh sound ?

Well, I started playing with audio for fun. I had no idea Id wind up where I was. In 1996, Id just turned 14 and sent ny registraion off to Chris for Goldwave (sent as in filled a printed form out, mailed it in an envelope, then has to wait for Chris to mail me the registration code.) I'm 29 now, I...

Re: how to remaster a song, give it a fresh sound ?

There's a reason I call it "ToxicMagic", anything that can improve that trac is just...pure toxic evil magic, at least in my book. Man, there was a huge pile of excitement when I first heard that. Ironically, it wasn't on Toxic that I "developed" that method; it was actually mos...

Re: General Programming Comments

If you check the "Update default effect settings after each use" setting under Options | Window GoldWave automatically updates the default preset when you use the effect, similar to the way the old version worked. The new version has preview playback buttons so you can hear how the curren...

Re: how to remaster a song, give it a fresh sound ?

Let me start off by addressing this: i bought a CD where there are sound from a vinyl with no improve, else there is no clicks , no crak, no leap at all. But the music sounds came from an old far room ....like you put your ears in a long long box and listen to....you know what i mean ? Probably wha...

Re: General Programming Comments

You'll need to save Parametric Equalizer settings to a preset. Once you've enter in all the settings, enter a name in the Presets box, then choose the [+] button. The next time you bring up the Parametric Equalizer, select the preset from the list to retrieve all the settings. If you enter "De...

Re: General Programming Comments

Sarge and GW, thank you VERY much, I appreciate the help! But I still miss the settings being saved for the Parametric Equalizer (and other controls). I could select a 5,10, even 30 band equalizer (now removed), and it with all settings would be saved, after altering. Now, every-time I open it, it d...

Re: General Programming Comments

Oh, finally, a question! :-) On your old version, it defaulted to two, a Left & Right Bar VU meter, side-by-side. I see I have the option, with two windows, vertically, to use a bar meter, but no Left & Right channel options? Can this be done? Can it also be changed to horizontal rather than...

Re: General Programming Comments

I enjoyed Goldwave since about 2002. Due to a HDD crash, I decided to try a more recent release (not your latest, but offered on you site). Sadly, it's so overwhelming with features that slow me down. Plus, for example, the Parametric Equalizer - used to love how everything maintained the last sett...

Re:

I'm not an expert on this.... This problem has come-up before, and I don't think there is a cure for it. I think it has something to do with "frames". MP3 was created for audio/video files, and it is compressed as a series of frames. Think it's the same with MPEG video - GOF (Group Of Fra...

Re: how to remaster a song, give it a fresh sound ?

Here's an example of a song (snippet) found on a 2010 HQ Universal Music Japan CD. The edition of Goldwave is from 2001, executing on a Windows ME 866MHz computer. I used to love the sound of vinyl records, and was thrill what contents was being issued on CD. (Re)mastering w of CDs was all over the ...

Re: Recording help please!

When I load an mp3 from my computer into GoldWave and just play it back it sounds nothing like when I play it in Windows Media Player. I lowered the volume considerably and it still sounds really tinny and somewhat like a synthesizer rather than a nice mellow piano background to the singer. I'm rea...
