Re: Best practice to eliminate hiss from old VHS source

First of all, you will never fully eliminate the noise without destroying the original signal. Noise reduction is a very destructive process. You have to learn the limitations of it. If you're expecting complete noise removal, you may be disappointed. I don't know what you mean on the "zeroing&...

Re: Best practice to eliminate hiss from old VHS source

In order for noise reduction to work properly; you have to tell it what it's working on. So a noise-print is basically a section of audio that contains nothing but noise. No voices, no music, not even any ambient sound. Ideally, it just noise, just noise. This means you have to find a section of aud...

Re: how to adjust the degree of the mouse wheel zoom in/out?

I would suggest checking mouse options on control panel and adjusting the scroll wheel speed there. This will change them for the entire operating system, which may not be what you want; but should get the behavior you're seeking.

Re: Converting 16-bit to 8-bit issue

8-Bit is of poor quality. Zoooooming far into the waveform reveals the "stairs"-waveform of the amplitude sliced into only 256 steps. What you have to remember is how PCM stores the audio data. The sample rate says how many samples you have per second; the bit-depth is how many bits each ...

Re: How to record directly into Golwave a sound played on PC

It sounds like your testing the loopback for the speakers; but you haven't actually set that as the default input in the control panel properties for Goldwave.

Re: Frequency inversion?

Goldwave doesn't have the capability to do this. Aside from something complex in matlab; you should be able to get an SDR program, like SDR#, feed it the WAV file as input; and use LSB mode decoding to accomplish what you want. Basicaly, SDR is software defined radio; and when you're demodulating th...

Re: How to keep saved Expr. Eval. formulas on version updat

EDIT: I went entirely the wrong way on this. I forgot that there was a Setup function for Goldwave which lets you back up settings. I'm guessing that installing 6 doesn't actually wipe out the presets for 5, it's just no longer looking at the registry for them. The config utility for V6 (It's Goldwa...

Re: Using GoldWave, How to read subtitles, and further edit

(1) When I use Goldwave, is there a way to read subtitles simultaneously? No. Goldwave is an audio editor; it does not have the capability to display video. (2) And further, if I edit the sound track, like delete a section of it or whatsoever, can the subtitle be edited as well? No. Subtitles are e...

Re: Question about 384khz sound devices

There's no way it will cause any interference with any other device, and therefore won't violate FCC rules. That is a VERY simplistic interpretation of FCC rules. If you were to transmit say on 144.100mhz, with 2mw of output...if you got found out you'd face very stiff fines. The rules cover intere...

Re: [Suggestion] Expanded time-stamps

The RFI is just a small slice of the 2.7khz I get from the radio, it's actually just three carrier-like tones. They're not enough to raise the VU level enough to trigger. The actual background noise is, for the most part, slightly louder on average than the resulting RFI. I tried setting the record ...

Re: Question about 384khz sound devices

Sorry to kick up an old topic; I don't get around much anymore. Usually (from my understanding) an ADC chip isn't clocked. It's free running. Whatever analog signal goes in, is instantly represented in digital form on the output pins (16 pins for 16 bit ADC, or 24pins for 24bit ADC). No. There is st...

[Suggestion] Expanded time-stamps

Hey Chris, I know Goldwave will time-stamp a file every time record is active for level-activated recording...but how about an option to continually write time stamps every few minutes as a cue? I've got some RFI I'm trying to track down; it's not very consistent on what times it starts and ends; th...

Re: About Stereo vs Mono ....

When we produce music in the studio, we arrange it as if we're creating a stage performance. Except you can do more funky panning than you can live. When you're live; your drums are just in one potition. But in a studio recording where you've got 7 or 8 mics on your drums; you can pan each each one...

Re: WMA Lossless 2 FLAC keeping additional tags.

Well, FLAC will support them because it has support for "extended" freeform tag fields.

Finding a program that's going to transfer that over automatically is the issue. Most programs only transfer over standard flags. It might be possible with dbPoweramp; but I don't know.

Re: WMA Lossless 2 FLAC keeping additional tags.

FLAC doesn't have any options for encoding aside a compression level setting that ranges from 1 to 8. Goldwave's maximum equates to a compression level of 8. All the compression levels should be there; but High and Maximum are probably all one really needs unless you have a reason to not have maximu...
