2.0 Important Additional Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
2.1) GoldWave requires a 386 or better processor. It will not
work on a 286 or below.
2.2) If you are using a desktop other than Program Manager,
you may get an error when trying to run GoldWave. If such
an error occurs, try running GoldWave from Program Manager.
(For PC Tools users, I have not been able to find a reason for
the GPF yet. I have made some changes that may solve the
problem. As yet, I do not have PC Tools, which makes testing
difficult. I will be getting a copy soon.)
2.3) The Cross-fade command has been renamed to Interpolate.
2.4) VOC files are now saved using version 1.20 format.
GoldWave will only use the older VOC format if the sound
is mono 8-bit with a sampling rate less than 23000Hz.
If a VOC file saved by GoldWave becomes incompatible with
your Sound Blaster driver:
1) Open the file in GoldWave
2) Make sure the sampling rate is less than 23000Hz.
If it is not, use Effects | Resample to convert
to a lower sampling rate.
3) Use File | Export to save the file as mono unsigned
8-bit.
If possible, you should get a copy of the latest Sound
Blaster drivers.
2.5) GoldWave now makes use of more of the RIFF WAVE
standard file format. New chunks such as the 'cue ' and
LIST 'adtl' are included to store cue points. These chunks
are stored at the end of the WAVE file to minimize problems
with some programs that do not correctly read/ignore WAVE
chunks. Cues are stored only in Wave files.
2.6) 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. Future version of GoldWave will
allow direct-to-disk editing of large wave files.
2.7) 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)
2.8) 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.
2.9) When using record looping, remember to turn it off when
you want to do your final recording.
