Re: Level Activated recording question

Just remembered - I did have to reduce the mike gain on the laptop right down to nearly nothing as dog barking can be quite loud! The garage door mecahnism did not activate the recording, but only the dog barks did. I used the level activated timestamp recording once before when I wanted to record s...

Re: Level Activated recording question

I have used this function to check on whether or not our dogs were barking when we were out. I opened a new sound file of two hours duration and then in the "Control Properties" Record window, checked the "Level activated box" and set the "Threshold level" to -20 db or ...

Re: "Ken Burns" Effect

Know exactly what you are talking about - I tried to do that recently but could not work out how to do it because the effects window is not very easy to get your head round it all. I know you can because I did it once a long time ago :( There is other software out there which will work, but you must...

Re: Crop Video

Best way to crop your images would be to crop them in Photoshop or whatever image editor you use. You will have to do each one individually to achieve best results. In Photoshop, set the crop size to a ratio of 4:3 and crop each image so as to give the best results. I have used this method to do the...

Re: Help window background colour

Does not look like that on my PC either, (Win 10) but I have had this happen with other apps but cannot remember what they were now. How about removing Goldwave and then re-installing. (By the way, I installed it in "program files", Not program filesx86). Probably a PC issue, I think. Good...

Program termination update

After producing several new projects using the same music files with no sign of "abnormal program termination" windows appearing, I returned to the earlier project which I had trouble with and YES! The dreaded "program termination" window appeared again :evil: The only difference...

Re: Program termination

This has been happening intermittently with one project which contains 32 text items in one track and 40 short audio tracks in the other. Total project length is 90 minutes approx. It doen not have any effect on the project which retains any changes I have made to it.

Program termination

Sometimes "abnormal termination" warning comes up when exiting Videomeld. Not every time, but on my desktop (Win 10) & laptop (Win 7)machines. It happens intermittently after saving and then clicking on the "X" icon, top right.

Re: Speed up audio

First, make a copy of the audio and work with the copy so that you do not lose the original if you go wrong. Now go to the "Effects" tab and scroll down to "Time" (the clock icon). Click on this and when the "Time" window opens, select the length option and enter the ne...

Re: merging to different sample rates (2 questions)

(QUESTION 1) Hello there! I think that you should do a resample of whichever file is NOT the one you want to end up with. Then you can merge them and see what happens. But first, make copies of both files first and then work on the copies, this way you can always start over if you mess up, of course...

Re: Split file destination button missing

I agree that the old way was easier to manage, but I just thought of a way round this until maybe we have an program update. Make a new folder and call it "split files" (or whatever) and enter it's file path into the "use this folder box". At least you know where the split files ...

Re: Lost entire recording.

Sorry to hear about that, sometimes s*** happens. You will most likely not be able to recover the lost recording now. In future save the original and then make a copy and do your processing on that and save as a copy. If you think that you might need to do more later, save your copy as "ver.1&q...

Re: V1.55 bug?

OK. I think that what might have happened is that I dragged the play marker instead of the time line. My mistake! When you have a whole bunch of people singing and the music jumps, not a good look! :? I now use the mousewheel to move along the time line which is easier anyway. Something which would ...

Edit marker

It would be nice to be able to use an "F" key (maybe F12) to place the edit marker as a project is playing, as in Multiquence. Thanks.

V1.55 bug?

In this and V1.54, the play marker can be dragged whil a project is playing which is awkward when moving the project along by the timeline and the mouse cursor strays into the track area with the "follow playback" option not selected . In previous versions, this did not happen, Can this be...
