Re: Anybody Here Used the WavePad Sound Editing Software from NCH?
I purchased the software as I got a discount for multi platform use - for Mac and Windows -. I'd say if anything the Mac version is more accessible though to be honest you'd be wasting your money if you were going to buy it for Windows alone. As has been stated below, Goldwave is far more accessible and far cheaper, Wavepad is quite a flexible editor however its expected by the developers that you buy extra software packs for various effects, features and functionality that you'd normally find built in to audio editing software, nothing wrong with that of course and again - by audio editor standards - Wavepad is pretty good value for money. If your looking for cheap audio editing software which is accessible - and you want cheaper than Goldwave - then look at Total Recorder Professional, the editor built-in to that package is quite powerful, I'm still of the opinion that High Criteria are giving! Total Recorder away at the prices they're charging for all versions.

Thanks Andrea, I have heard of Goldwave, but had neglected to consider it. I will check it out.

Yes I own this software. It is usable with reservations but certainly does not come near Goldwave for accessibility. If you have not purchased this package I would download and test the Goldwave demo before you make a final decision on a sound editor.

Yes I own this software. It is usable with reservations but certainly does not come near Goldwave for accessibility. If you have not purchased this package I would download and test the Goldwave demo before you make a final decision on a sound editor.

Hey folks, Just wondering because I need something that will remove silence from ends of audio files. The problem is that they’re AAC files. Audacity says it won’t do it. WavePad will do it, but in demo mode it won’t save my changes to them. The price of the software, “without VST plugins support nor SFX Library”, is $50 until May 15. Has anyone here used this? The reason I took a look at it is because their Switch audio converter is very accessible, and it looks like this WavePad is also accessible. But for $50 I’m wondering if there’s a better choice.
