I'd like the Parametric EQ graph to have a black background, so I could see the red and green channel lines easier. I can get a black background with every other effect but Parametric EQ, for some reason. I find that very irritating.

That's right, the HSM tech was available long before it was deemed economically compelling to mass-market it.

I remember when 'half-speed mastering' became (briefly) a mass-market phenom. I was in high school. My father had a collection of hundreds of LPs going back to the late 1940s. He only began collecting HSM records in the late 1970s. Believe me, if they'd been widely available earlier, he would have g...

My best guess is that DMM was a last-ditch effort to rescue a dying (and inferior) playback medium. The effort wasn't made until digital raised its scary head in the late 70's. 'Half-speed mastering' came along at about the same time, another bit of vinyl tech that was available but wasn't employed ...

Probably because, by that time, everyone was moving to digital?

[Edit: Sorry -- I just glanced at the previous question and misread it.]

Are you running just GoldWave when you use your headphones, or are you using other audio-dependent apps besides? The next thing I would try is to shut off all audio-dependent apps (including your internet browser) except GoldWave and see if that does the trick for you. If that doesn't do the trick, ...

There could be a lot of reasons GoldWave isn't talking to your headphone transmitter that don't have anything to do with incompatibility. Maybe GoldWave doesn't like sharing the device with other apps, for example. Have you tried giving GoldWave exclusive control of your headphone transmitter when y...

I'm running the latest version of GW on Windows 64-bit. GW runs fine on my OS. Don't worry about the installation path.

You might want to see what happens with an earlier version of GoldWave. Try the last version specifically updated for Windows XP. If I may, Windows 8 is due to be released very soon. You're almost 2 generations behind in your OS now. Compatibility problems with the newest versions of GoldWave will, ...

Test things out with another audio program and see if you don't get similar results. At this point, I'd suspect equipment rather than GoldWave. 3.5mm jacks don't provide the most reliable inputs in the whole world, though they're hard to avoid if you're using a laptop. You might try an outboard DAC ...

OK. Shows what I know.

That's exactly what I do with batch processing. I don't know why you would need to write a macro when batch processing is available.

GoldWave doesn't use real-time effects that would boost the bass in your recordings. If you're getting bassy files recording with GoldWave, it's because your hardware is boosting the bass somewhere in your input chain. Have you tried Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Sound>Manage Audio Devices ? My g...

Can you isolate the hiss? If you can isolate the hiss, you could take a sample of it using the NR clipboard and apply it to the whole sound file. I think that would be more effective than using a hiss-removal preset. Things get trickier, though, when you have to extract hiss from a sound file withou...

Try: Spectrum Filter -- select muffled section, zero out everything below 400Hz and see if that helps. FYI, you're not going to get the muffled parts of the recording to sound like the clear parts, no matter what you do.
