CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
The mid-level audio editor offers a good feature set and handy interface with plenty of automation options. The GoldWave program interface is well designed and efficient, letting you edit several files within one window. The editing tools range from cutting and trimming to applying various effects and filters. What's more, advanced users can create unique effects using mathematical equations. The program makes it a snap processing multiple audio files at ones. You can create an effects chain (a kind of macro) and apply it to a batch of files simultaneously. File formats and tags also may be processed in this way. Versatile and convenient, GoldWave will meet virtually any need of a nonprofessional audio editor.Publisher's description

Version: GoldWave 5.23
"Great for beginners & newbies & professionals"
Pros: Has all the bells & whistles to do a really great audio edit. The manual (online) is an education all by itself. The smart trial of 1500 edits lets you play, make mistakes, try all the stuff that's there over many months (it took me 8 months of trial & error) before you buy it. The price is reasonable too. Couldn't find any bugs or annoying stuff either during that time.

Version: GoldWave 5.23
"Easy To Use As Long As You Know To Drag, Copy & Paste"
Pros: Though i'm using this program simply just to edit Justin Timberlake's album so I make 'My Love' like the video version I may use this program again. The best thing about the program is the fact i just have to choose where i want a part of the song to end then drag what part i want to move, cut, paste then see if it works right and if it doesn't just hit undo
Cons: Um... They want you to pay for the full thing... only problem i see lol

Version: GoldWave 5.23
Pros: I used this program a lot at church for recording various things. It works very well and the recordings are very clear. It will even run on crappier computers than it says it will.
Cons: It isn't free :(
