I’ve used the incomparable real Goldwave program ( http://www.goldwave.com ) for years. That program just can’t be beat. I take offense at Gold Media’s choice of program title. I’m sure it wasn’t accidental.

That being said, this program does one thing that the genuine article doesn’t: it can shift the playback speed of a file without changing pitch. With Goldwave, the two are married.

And to the Gold Wave user who asked about vocal elimination, try this:

1. Select only one channel of a stereo file. Left or right, doesn’t matter which.

2. From the Effects menu, choose Invert.

3. Select both channels.

4. From the Effects menu, select Stereo Mix. Set each “new channel” mix as 50 percent left, 50 percent right.

The vocals will be (mostly) gone.

I was having some problems with slow operations in Gold Wave Editor Pro and emailed support. Here is the response I got:

The “Gold Wave Editor Pro” software is developed by a different company that is using the GoldWave trademark without permission.

The real GoldWave software can be downloaded here:

I believe you’ll find it significantly better than the other software you tried. It deletes sections of audio instantly regardless of how long the recording is.

What is this program? It is not the powerful Goldwave that I’ve used in the past. The current version of Goldwave is 5.52. This program is version 10.2.2 and does not have many of the features of Goldwave 5.52. I couldn’t even find an equalizer.

The real Goldwave is at http://www.goldwave.com/

This is a scam.

DON'T BE DECEIVED BY THE NAME. Its not GoldWave, Its Gold Wave Editor Pro(with spaces) 1. First of all this program isn't the GoldWave everyone knows and loves located at http://www.goldwave.com/. Gold Wave Editor Pro is an entirely different product all together from http://www.goldwaveeditor.com. 2. Gold Wave Editor Pro biggest flaw is that it doesn't have an on-the-fly Pitch, Volume, or Balance control. 3. NO VOLUME CONTROL WHATSOEVER. If there is, then I can't find it in this "simple to use" program. 4. A lot of the audio editing features are VERY slow. For example previewing a pitch change takes almost an entire minute. 5. This program has a lot of features, but not a whole lot of useful ones. It has a Flanger but it doesn't even have a basic equalizer.

Omg! This is 100% amazing. Thank you so much for the software. Installing it was a breeze , registering was super easy. And it was great software. I was wondering when you were going to stop giving away Mp3 converters. Best Give Away of the Day Software yet.

Just a postmortem, so to speak, but I’ve uninstalled this app after loading and a quick test. Something as sophisticated as this should also capture audio from web and streaming applications. Even the simple Audio Recorder, offered several times on GOTD in the past, accomplished this. Frankly, the majority of audio I want to capture and edit comes from the web. So this App does me absolutely no good.

Gold Wave Editor Pro has a striking resemblance to Advanced Audio Recorder 6.0.2 that was offered by GAOTD on March 25, 2009. The Audio Burner and Audio Grabber Wizards of both are identical. The Help Contents are virtually the same, and so are many other features. Perhaps they have a joint marketing arrangement. None of this seems to distract from the acceptable performance of the products, but it does create doubt as to who is on first.

you clicked th wrong link to download the product. you need to click “proceed to download page” and then click the link with the name of the product, namely “gold wave editor pro”, which is located just above the comments. “AVS audio editor” is a trial they advertise for ever day here, and is a flash advertisement, and is not the Giveaway of the Day. Just thought you’d like to know. That giveaway wasn’t the real goldwave anyway. http://www.goldwave.com

It installed some codecs that were slow compared to what I was using and gave my system occasional glitches during high-def PVR playback (TV recordings and movies). I really hate programs that install codecs without telling the user and giving them an option. BAD PRACTICE. I went to a lot of trouble to find low overhead, quality codecs and tuning my system to use them. Glad that I had a backup.
