"Wavepad rules!"
Version: WavePad 3.05
Pros
Free, and amongst the very best of software I've ever used
Cons
Fadeout and trim function could be smoother. I just use the envelope function anyway.
-
"Meh. Same as that last review."
Version: WavePad 3.05
Pros
It was great while I could see use it.
Cons
Used it all the time before I had my hard drive swiped, and now when I tried to install it again it stopped my use because a trial ran out. What happened?

"It was free and good!"
Version: WavePad 3.05
Pros
i tried the basic-free edition few months ago and it was nice.
Cons
It was a really nice program, offered in two editions: Basic and Master. Basic was free while master was not. To my great disappointment they don?t offer any more the basic-free edition.

"Installed heaps of junk, some of it uninstallable"
Version: WavePad 3.05
Cons
A useless program that installs a whole heap of useless, hard to uninstall junk you didn't ask for

"Can't back up and re-register after crash"
Version: WavePad 3.05
Pros
Really good software for WAV and MP3.
Cons
If your computer crashes, you can't reinstall. You have to register it online after installation and the license is only good for ONE registration, ergo, you have to buy it again. I found out the hard way. Can't open Real Audio files.

"Perfect for Podcast Creators"
Version: WavePad 3.05
Pros
I recommend this for anyone in need of quality podcast audio. If your business relies partly on a podcast to maintain consumer interest, if your church wants to make a pastor's voice clear and present, if your podcast sits next to other quality podcasts then you need high quality audio.
My advice: Record your audio in Wavepad, High Pass Filter at 250Hz, run the Automatic Gain Control, use the noise removal tool if you have to, save it as an MP3 at 64k mono and done. You have a quality podcast MP3.
There's a lot to be said for mic selection, pop filters and a solid performance but that's another story.
The effects pluggins alone in this version are worth more than the price of the Master's Edition; specifically the Automatic Gain Control. I'd pay 80 bucks any day for that pluggin if they made a DirectX version I could use in ProTools. It is a true (and very smart) auto gain control which brings energy and presence out of a voice, not just a limiter to squish the life out of it.
We use ProTools LE (MBox $500) and the Waves Gold bundle ($1000) for mastering but I'm going to start using Wavepad for quick projects. I don't expect Wavepad to be as easy as ProTools for editing content. I'm just amazed at the quality it pulled out of a couple really rough recordings I had to deal with - in just a few clicks.
I've been spared Vista headaches because I'm on XP.

"Great product"
Version: WavePad 3.05
Pros
After trying to convert a very large WAV file to MP3 with 4 other products with no success I had given up. WavePad was recommended by Boca IT and presto, it worked like a dream.

"Recommended for small use"
Version: WavePad 3.05
Pros
I've always used Wavepad to cut and edit songs but not for extended use. It is very small, and useful when trying to simply edit things instead of using a huge program to do the job. It views quite an amount of file types, and also not resource hogging.
Cons
Although it's very good, for some reason, every few weeks it would say my trial expired, however after closing the notification for expiration window, it simply works again. The first time I laid eyes on this program, it said "free", and now it's not free anymore? I'm a bit confused.
