Control Window |
 |
The Control window includes controls to play, fast
forward, rewind, pause, and stop playback. There are separate controls
to start, stop, and pause recording. The three faders adjust
playback volume, balance, and speed. Four real-time visuals are displayed.
Over a dozen different visuals are included. A visual
plug-in interface allows other developers to easily create new visuals
for GoldWave.

Control Properties |
 |
The Control Properties window configures many features of the
Control window. You can select
a specific audio device, change playback looping and regions, set a
date and time for recording, enable input monitoring, configure the
visuals, or set playback and recording devices.
|
Equalizer |
 |
The Equalizer effect is similar to equalizer faders found
on stereo systems. Use it to alter treble/bass levels.
Most effects include preview buttons (1) and preset controls (3). Volume
levels are given in dB (2), but also shown in percent for novice users.
|
CD Reader |
 |
The CD Reader tool allows you to save a set of audio tracks
to separate files in mp3, ogg, wma, or other formats.
Track titles and ID3 tag information can be retrieved from the
www.freedb.org
database and stored in the files automatically.
|
Effect Plug-ins |
 |
The effect plug-in interface allows other developers to add effects
to GoldWave. A DirectX plug-in wrapper is included.
|
Expression Evaluator |
 |
The Expression Evaluator allows sound to be generated from almost
any equation. For example, to generate a simple sine wave, the
following can be entered:
sin(2*pi*f*t)
General expressions for sine, triangle, and square waves are already
provided, plus expressions for dial tones, effects, and noises.
|
Noise Reduction |
 |
Use the Noise Reduction filter to remove continuous noises, such as
a hiss or a hum from a sound. The reduction envelope can be created
manually or calculated automatically from any point within the sound or
from clipboard audio.
|
Batch Processing |
 |
The Batch Processing features converts files to a wide variety
of formats and applies a set of effects.
|
Tool Bar Options |
 |
Use the Tool Bar Options to add, remove, and rearrange tool
bars buttons.
|
Effect Chain Editor |
 |
Use the Effect Chain Editor to process a series of effects in a single
pass. Effect chains can save a significant amount of processing time compared
to processing each effect separately.
