A useful editing and processing tool for linguists

Pros: I have used Goldwave for a number of years now to process and prepare language tapes for use on minidiscs and MP3 players.

Goldwave allows me to digitise my language cassettes fairly readily. I can then easily cut the tapes up into manageable learning segments and give each segment a unique title. This means that navihation on portable listening equipment can be brisk and efficient.

I also use Goldwave to process language [and music tapes] in batches.

My current iPod is not loud enough for my ears - so I use Goldwave to convert music files into an MP3 format - and at the same time enhance the volume of the file to create the loudest listening experience.

Goldwave will also remove the hiss from old cassette tapes - but this is not always the most satisfactory solution. [Goldwave can leave the audio with a 'boxy' texture]

A simple but versatile two-track stereo/mono recording studio

As an ESOL teacher, I find this very useful for recording radio-programmes, erasing hisses and pops, and creating multi-track CDs for students. Invaluable - well worth the money!
