Re: FFT feature request

That holds true to a degree; but if your content is stereo, there is some phase randomization that occurs. The only situation I can think of where you would have "stereo" noise would be FM MPX Stereo...where the noise from difference is out of phase in the final product. But the noise isn'...

Re: Some old aifc files won't work

The problem is likely that the files are compressed with the IMA codec, which was popular a *long long* time ago for low-quality compressed audio.

You will need to locate an IMA codec. I can't help you there as it appears none such stand-alone codec was ever released.

Re: Steps to improve a clip that is only vocals?

Also...try extending the mic so it is beside your mouth as opposed to below. When I do things with my headset the mic is just to the side of my mouth.

Re: Steps to improve a clip that is only vocals?

I honestly don't have much experience with Goldwave's dynamic compression. I did my processing in Adobe Audition with a combination of tube-modeled compression, multi-band, and hard limiting. De-essing was done in multi-band. These are much more aggressive than Goldwave's; so depending on various se...

Re: Steps to improve a clip that is only vocals?

I downloaded your audio sample and threw it though my usual software to see if it could be improved and what steps you would need. Your audio benefits from some dynamic compression; however there are additional recording flaws that prevent it from being entirely effective. For starters, there is a 6...

Re: 3gp file open

.3gp is a container format; it can therefore contain any number of valid codecs.

One computer has the proper codec; the other does not. You need to figure out what codec the file uses and make sure it's installed and available on your machine.

Suggestion/Request: Cue Point "Enhancements"

Hi Chris, I've recently been using Goldwave in my disc-mastering process for creating pre-split wavs and CUE files from multi-track mixdowns. Over the last few days, I've come up with two suggestions/requests: Ability to enter CUE points in mm:ss:fps "Simple" Import of CUE points from text...

Re: How to avoid the graphic delay in sound window when edti

Disable "Draw Overview Graph" under Options | Window. This will prevent Goldwave from having to redraw the overall view at the bottom of the file every time you make an edit.

Re: autocue : need a little improvement (but so obvious to c

Probably because the program isn't generating a track length or silence length while doing the process. It's just looking for silence, marking the cue, and going on. CUE files don't have a provision for either of those two options, so it's a waste to generate them. You can look at your overall file ...

Re: File conversion failure

It's probably a malformed header; it wouldn't shock me that iTunes used something non-standard. Your m4a files are technically "container" files; it merely "contains" a format and contains information about the stream. WAV files are technically container formats since they can co...

Re: Dynamics

I'll just say this on dynamics and older CDs: Older CD's usually have more dynamics, even though they were sometimes sampled with those kind of lousy 80's ADCs. The reasoning for this is basically...they didn't have the ability to tightly control volume levels using things like digital limiters. All...

Re: Best practice to eliminate hiss from old VHS source

Let's take an extreme case. say you keep playing the tape over and over and a pile of particles form, that tape hiss will diminish and high frequencies will disappear, and eventually there will be silence. So, tape hiss is what you are not hearing, and odd way to put it. If your tape unit is wearin...

Re: Best practice to eliminate hiss from old VHS source

Oh, that graph. That graph is used for the "use current spectrum" option. When using the clipboard noise; it serves zero function.

Presets box can be empty..it shouldn't make much difference other than setting FFT, overlay, and scale,
