2.0 Important Additional Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
2.1) GoldWave v2.00 requires a 386 or better processor. It
will not work on a 286 or below.
2.2) Due to the large number of programs which do not
properly read RIFF WAVE files, GoldWave now writes the INFO
chunk at the end of the file instead of the beginning.
This should solve problems with programs that *wrongly*
assume there are no extra chunks in wave files.
(GoldWave v1.00 creates perfectly valid RIFF WAVE files!)
2.3) The largest file you can open depends upon how much RAM
you have for Windows. If you plan to use 16-bit, stereo,
44100Hz CD quality, then you need 10 megabytes of RAM for
every minute of sound. A 5 minute song requires 50 Megs.
The amount of virtual memory you have makes no difference,
since Windows refuses to use more virtual memory than RAM.
GoldWave could load and play 100 Megabyte files if the OS
allowed it. Maybe Windows 4.0 will...
2.4) The undo feature uses a temporary file. Make sure the
TEMP envorinment variable specifies a drive large enough
to hold several megabytes of data. Otherwise you may
get undo messages (cannot write) for insufficient space.
2.5) If you are tired of the current colour scheme, add the
following lines to the end of the GOLDWAVE.INI file in your
WINDOWS directory (this file will be created when you
first run and close GoldWave):
[Colour]
Start Marker=255, 255, 255
Finish Marker=255, 255, 255
Graph Background=0, 0, 128
Scope Background=0, 0, 128
Amplitude Scope=255, 255, 255
Spectral Scope=255, 255, 0
Scope Grid=0, 0, 0
The three values specify the intensities of red, green, and
blue. They can be set to: 0, 128, or 255. The value 255
is the maximum intensity. To get light grey, set all three
values to 192. Note that the colour of the markers depends
upon the background colour. Make sure the colours you
specify are visible (i.e. don't set background and scope
colours to the same values)
2.6) Undo and colours were last minute additions. Please
let me know if you encounter any problems.
2.7) In order to get the scope working correctly, you might
have to change the positioning method in the Device Setup
dialog box. The Estimate method is good for playback, but
there is a small delay for recording to allow certain cards
to transfer recorded data to RAM.
2.8) When using record looping, remember to turn it off when
you want to do your final recording.
