![]() ![]() But things get even more confusing: As I found out after a lot of experiments, all the links lead to the download of a file with the same name ( "wpsetup.exe") but behind this name almost in every link is hidden the demo version - and only in one link (I don't remember which one) the "wpsetup.exe" installs the free version (as a user expects when reading your site).Įven after installing you will not detect easily which version (demo or free) you have on your machine now. *) this one: / respectively the German version of the site I had used: " (beside the Windows symbol), c) "download the free music editing software here" (within the text), d) in the column on the right side ( "Sound Editor - Download now"). On your page about WavePad* there is at least four times a download link: a) "Download Now" (in the red field), b ) "Download in seconds. The expression "demo version" (or" trial version") does not even exist on your site.Ģ. There is no clear distinction between "demo version" and "free version". I will mention the most important issues I discovered:ġ. There is such a lot of terrible confusion about WavePad. (Fortunately I did not loose any work because I had installed WavePad only in order to test it, but the problem is identic.) In my case I got the message that I could not save a file (MP3) as this action is only possible with the Master's Edition. And I am stuck not being able to save any more of my work Half-way through I get the 'trial demo version for evaluation use only' which of course wants me to purchase the software. sorry again, just thought it was worth mentioning that the trial version wouldn't let me finish my work - I guess I should have known. Which does not lead one to believe it will stop working and require a purchase.Įdit to add: well, my version (5.1) of WavePad of course won't work with windows 10.Īlthough I couldn't save half the files in the case above, it Did allow me to save the project. ![]() You can always upgrade to the master's edition at a later time, which has additional effects and features for the serious sound engineer. If you are using it at home, you can download the free version here. The free version does not expire and includes most of the features of the normal version. A free version of WavePad audio editing software is available for non-commercial use only. So, sorry for the drawn out crying session. I will load a copy of my paid version onto the laptop - but much of the work I did today was wasted. And I am stuck not being able to save any more of my work - and that really stinks. This of course is a silly work flow, so I decided to try the new version of WavePad on my laptop and see if I liked it.Īfter a couple of hours working on a 2 hour set, I was satisfied with my edits, and began the saving all files tasks. I recently bought a new powerful laptop with windows 10, and was doing my mixing on it and then transferring via flash drive to my win7 machine to use WavePad to finalize my project as described above. I then open the file in WavePad - I am very familiar with it and enjoy using it - where I will amplify as necessary, edit between songs, split into tracks, do fades, etc. My main method of operation these days is to mix and edit with Audacity and export the file as. I am a 'taper' - I record shows for bands I know. I have purchased most of the audio software, and when I upgraded from xp to win7 I purchased all my NCH software again. Otherwise, you must purchase a license.Beware that if you are using a trial version, it is for 'evaluation use only' ! Of course, it should be noted that the WavePad is only available free of charge for home use for non-commercial purposes. You should agree that this is a pretty impressive set of functions for a free software solution. ![]() Also WavePad can work with files in a batch mode, allows to leave bookmarks for further editing, to make the spectral analysis, to restore records and even to carry out change of a voice. The player's functionality can be expanded at any time with VST plugin support. There are also normalization, amplification, reverse playback and reverberation functions. The WavePad has a noise reduction tool that can be used in both automatic and manual modes. The program supports most common audio formats: WAV, MP3, VOX, GSM, WMA, RealAudio, FLAC, AU, OGG. You can use it to record sound from external devices, trim and compose individual audio tracks, add all sorts of sound effects, and so on. WavePad is a simple free sound editor that is perfect for users who are working with similar programs for the first time. ![]()
