Podcast studio
Record and edit podcasts, interviews, or audio books. Cut and paste segments together. Add background music and other sounds. Remove background noise. Create voice prompts for automated systems.

Karaoke and fun
Remove vocals from music. Record and mix in your own vocals. Use the many effects to change your voice. Create new sounds for any project, such as video games, model trains, and ring tones.

Play all your favourite songs
Change the playback speed to hear your music in a whole new way, or to learn a song by ear. Listen to the audio while fast-forwarding or rewinding. Watch real-time visuals to see frequency content and spot potential quality issues. Connect a foot pedal to control playback for transcriptions.

Record any source
Create clean voice or instrument recordings. Select the microphone, line-in, streaming audio or what you hear (loopback) built-in inputs. Connect a turntable to record LPs, a cassette deck to record tapes, a receiver to record radio, or a high-end USB microphone to record your own music, speeches, or reports. Set a timer to start recording at a certain day and time. Use level activated recording to continue and pause recording automatically whenever the signal is above or below a given level.

Edit audio with all the familiar commands
Includes Cut, Copy, Paste, Trim, Replace, and Overwrite. GoldWave's fast virtual editing means you can slice, dice, and merge large audio files in seconds. Mix and Crossfade songs together with just a few clicks. Combine audio for podcasts, radio spots, PowerPoint presentations, or music for dance programs, figure skating, gymnastics, and aerobics.

Apply over 40 different audio effects
Adjust bass or treble with the Equalizer. Even out volume levels with Auto Gain. Easily fade in and out background music with Voice Over. Replace profanity with beeps or other sounds with Censor. Add echoes, reverbs, flangers, and much more. Change the pitch of your voice or make it sound mechanical for unique video game expansions. Preview effects real-time before processing them. Most effects include presets for commonly used settings so you don't have to be an audio expert.

Remaster old vinyl or tape recordings
Use Noise Reduction and Pop/Click filters to clean up the audio and take out the buzz, hiss, crackle, and clicks. Use the Spectrum Filter for precise control over frequency and tone. Remove offsets and long silences.

Analyze audio with real-time visuals
View spectrograms, bar graphs, waveforms, level meters, and other useful graphs. Instantly see any audio problems during recording and playback. Isolate that high pitch whine or low rumble by sight, making filtering much easier. Demonstrate engineering and mathematical concepts, such as filters, Fourier transforms, and signal processing. Analyze human speech, bird song, whale song, engine noise, and other interesting sounds.

Includes a collection of powerful tools
Copy audio directly from an audio CD with the CD Reader tool. Join many files together with the File Merger tool. Generate your own sounds and effects using the Expression Evaluator tool. Chain together effects for faster processing or create new effects using the Effect Chain Editor tool. Bookmark places within the file using the Cue Points tool, or split a long file into pieces defined by cue points.

Proofread your writing.

Process hundreds of files in a few clicks
