Good morning all, I second that motion as I am a pretty devoted Goldwaver too. It is an ipressively versatile and powerful sound editor with a generally intuitive user interface and its screenreader accessibility has been consistently good in this moving target of more powerful and graphics-based OS's, and the JAWS scripts by Jim Grinsby have kept Goldwave even more screenreader friendly.
All of that being said, I recently installed Wavepad for the simplicity of certain functions like recording, which has a single keystrike in contrast to the combined keystrike needed to start and stop recording a single audio track in Goldwave. The problem I am currently having with Wave Pad is the inability to locate the small test audio files I created via Windows Explorer. I was able after a fashion to change the output directory to the music folder, but I would like to find the earlier test files and delete them. When I launch the program and use CTRL+L to get a list of WAAV or mP3 files created in Wavepad, I am unable to delete them. Finally, I also note that Wavepad does not appear to have fast review and fast forward functions, so any audio content as well as special effects and changes of some technical settings will have to be done with a more robust audio editor such as Total Recorder or Goldwave. Lastly, I also notice that pre-existing audio files in the music library play at a slower speed and some artifact is also noticeable. I welcome any guidance from anyone more knowledgeable than I to set me straight if I am doing anything incorrectly. Thanks in advance.
