Hi Chris. I quite agree with you on most points.
The developer is awesome! when it comes to his concern for accessibility.
I have used gold wave on and off for many many years and purchased a
full license for it way back in the very early 90s.
I don't regret that purchase.
I have the latest version on my machine as I type this and frankly yes
there are buggs. I don't know of many programs that don't have some so
this is not a criticism at all.
I don't happen to like the noise reduction capabilities in goldwave
myself but that I gguess can be a matter of personal preference.
I do wish that the preview options were bettter designed in gold wave
and that switching presets while previewing would always take effect
immediately, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I also wish the preview button was a toggle instead of having to go
over to the stop button.
I also wish it had a bypass checkbox and also a way to listen to the
output of only the removed noise as other programs do.
Having said all that, for the money you just can't beat it.
To say its a bargain is tipucal british understatement grin!

You must have been using an old version of GoldWave to not like it. I
haven't seen any bugs etc with the latest version and the author gives a
darn about accessibility, and that's not from reading either. I trialled
GoldWave for several years, and finally bit the bullet by first
purchasing a one year license, then the lifetime one. I don't regret it
one bit. Same with Total Recorder. The author gives a darn about
accessibility, trialled it for several years, bought the lifetime
license some two years ago and don't regret that either.

I have two up coming projects to work on.
One involves removing tape hiss and the other involves removing noise
from vinyl records.
If I take gold wave and sound fordge out of the picture which I must do,
what other stand alone programs can I use to accomplish these tasks.
I will consider gold wave only if there are some good plugins to
accomplish my tasks cause I don't like gold waves built in noise
reduction.
I also don't like how gold wave handles previewing and some of the buggs
there in.
Having said all that recommendations please or have I effectively nailed
my coffin shut.
Thanks.
