OT: A Note to Chris
Posted: Fri Sep 15, 2017 8:32 pm
When I discovered what I could do with GW, when I used the "toll" version a decade+ back, the CD files began sounding more like what I experienced on vinyl records! I stayed up all night GW exploring, was too tired to go to work the next day! Some people make it evident what their goal is when you find a brickwalled waveform. Not me, I use your Effect -> Dynamics -> Amplify Light (when appropriate) and, boy, it adds LUSTER to the audio, without becoming visually evident. One person claimed I did better than Columbia Records engineers! I feel less guilty using it, than trimming peaks, or cutting the grass, per se'. From a (kind) visitor of my site [early 70's US hit]:
"Your version is totally separated…I never heard this song sound so good! I notice it’s the LP version (I think the 45 version is just faded early)".
Feel man was shortchanged and was not prepared to put audio on CD, in the early days. Felt DAW (software) is what made CD audio shine. But, computers were too slow to process audio, early on (my opinion).
If you can, even though I read about the early GW, I'd like to know why you became interested in creating an audio editor (even seen an early GW post in usenet). At one time, I loved programming in DOS!
Anyway, a sincere thank you!
Best,
Jack
