User reviews of WavePad 3.05
Good program, but doesn't work well under Vista
Pros: I've used it for light editing and used the equalizer feature to reduce low-frequency noise, and it works great.
Cons: Under Windows Vista
(1) It crashes with about every third or fourth file you try to load. The only workaround I've found is to load that file under XP and save it without changes. The file you saved will then load under Vista.
(2) It often changes the Vista system sounds, so that you computer starts making sounds for no apparent reason. The fix is to Start | Control Panel | Hardware & Sound | Change System Sounds, and change back to the default, or whatever you want.
Other comments:
- The equalizer is very slow
- It hard to find the free version, so you tend to get the Masters Edition, which stops working after a while, until you pay. The free version is at nch.com.au/wavepad.
- They don't see to be fixing these problems.
Vista Issues
We are aware of the problems with Vista and will be addressing these in the New Year. Due to the recent release of WavePad for Mac we have not had a chance to update it for Windows.
Does anything work well under Vista?
Upgrade to XP!
