Welcome to the NCH Forums. This is the Wavpad Forum. You want to post in the FastFox Forum. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

As far as I know, you uninstall the program from one computer and reinstall it on another. Enter your licence information and activate and you should be good to go. If there is a licence issue, then contact NCH Tech Support. Have a great day. Regards, -Phi

NCH folks do monitor this Forum. From what I can tell, it is on an irregular basis. The volunteers here do share their expertise if they have some to share on an issue that a user is encountering. I am not able to help you at all with clicking sounds and I guess that no one else who has visited and read your thread so far has any idea how to resolve your problem. You could open a support ticket with NCH and seek their assistance that way. This forum is just mainly about users helping users. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Doralee: Welcome to the WavePad Forum. Check the specs for your vehicle audio system. Some flash drive formats are not supported, usually NTFS. Make sure that your flash drive is formatted as required. Also, some vehicle audio systems will only play certain types of media files. Check to make sure that your media files are in a compatible format. Hope this helps and let us know how you make out. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Maksa52: I think you have posted your inquiry in the wrong Forum. This Forum is for issues with WavePad sound editing software. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Are you sure that you are in the right Forum? This is the WavePad audio tool Forum.

Neatd: If you are trying to create a custom CD of selected tracks from your CD collection, Vapors is pointing you in the right direction. You don't have to rip an entire CD. Even Windows Media Player allows you to select just the tracks you want to rip from each CD you load. Then assemble the selected ripped tracks in the order that you want using CD burner software (Windows Media Player will do that as well via the Library function), and then burn your custom CD. Quality will be the best you can get and you will save a great deal of time compared to trying to record the selected tracks. Hope this helps. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Hello, Nicole and welcome to the Prism Forum. I am pretty new to Prism myself. I only use it occasionally, so I stand to be corrected by those more knowledgeable than me. From what I can understand, you can't directly convert from, say, .mpeg2 to .vob. What you can do is tell Prism to burn a DVD. It will create the .vob files on the DVD that you can then copy to whatever other media you want. You can always use rewriteable DVDs if your final destination is not a DVD, though in most cases, that is why .vob files are created in the first place. Hope this helps. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Welcome to the WavePad Forum. From what I understand, WavePad does not rip directly as does Windows Media Player, which is what I use for ripping. However, that said, you can load audio files from a CD (.cda format) into WavePad and then "Save As" to save them in another format, such as .mp3, according to the WavePad help file. Hope this helps. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Mark: Glad to be able to help and I am happy that you have resolved your problem to your satisfaction. Happy audio editing. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Welcome to the WavePad forum. I have used WavePad for years, mainly for editing music files that I created from Golden Records, converting my vinyl to .wav files. Those are not "professional" files per se and I have never had any problems with editing them. I would suggest that you start out by reviewing the WavePad tutorials that are accessible from the top left of the screen. The first one covers the basics: . I think that you might need to learn a little bit more about the software to be able to use it effectively. Hope this helps. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

I stand to be corrected, but I think the "free" version is actually a "trial" version, though that is not clear, to me at least, from the NCH website. I think your "free" licence expires and to continue to use the software after the trial period, you must purchase a copy. Hopefully someone will correct me if I am mistaken in this assumption. Hope this helps. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Kross: I am not an expert on audio file formats. Personally I always use best quality .wav file output, as .mp3 is compressed, and my video software sometimes chokes on .mp3 files. It always accepts .wav files. I have never used FLAC files. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable on this forum will chime in. Hope this helps. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Mark: Your stereo should have a set of "Line Out" jacks. Those should be totally independent of speaker connectors. I am thinking that your hardware setup is your problem. I would recommend the Behringer UCA-202. It works just great for me. I suspect the lack of same is causing your audio distortion problems, as some device has to digitalize the incoming audio signals. Here is a link to ebay where you can get one at a reasonable price: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=behringer+uca202 They are also available from Amazon and other retailers. Let me know what you decide and how you make out. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Golden Records outputs to .wav or .mp3 formats only. The link to the specs is here: http://www.nch.com.au/golden/index.html. You will need conversion software to convert your .wav (preferred format) to alac or flac. There is some free sound file conversion software available, and also NCH produces software that will convert .wav and .mp3 to FLAC (not sure about ALAC) format. Hope this helps. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Mark: Perhaps if you could supply more details as to your exact setup, we could be of more assistance. What type of "converter" are you using? I use the Behringer UCA-202. I play my tapes or records on my stereo tape deck or turntable and connect the Behringer to the "Tape Out" jacks on my amplifier. The other end of the Behringer connects via a USB cable to the computer. There are known issues with sound quality if an amplifier or fully-compatible converter are not used as a part of your recording setup. I am guessing your recording setup might be the source of your problem. If you are using a "boombox" to play your tapes, you should be able to connect that directly to the Behringer. Hope this helps. Don't give up - there is a solution out there ... somewhere ... Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Mark: I am using GR on a reasonably new DELL XPS laptop (2 years old) and have used it with a previous version of WavePad on the same laptop. Now I just have the one version of WavePad on my main computer. I never encountered any conflicts. GR seems to be a nice, compact, well-behaved program. Hope this helps and have a great weekend. Regards, -Phil

Mark: I have been using Golden Records for several years with success. Because I was somewhat unhappy about upgrades only being free for three months, I did purchase a competitor's product that is sitting in its box in the basement. It was not nearly as good as GR. Just my experience and my two cents. Have a great day and good luck with finding suitable software. Regards, -Phil

Mark: WavePad is a sound editor primarily. I know that it will record, but I have never used it for that. For my tape and LP conversions, I use Golden Records, and then move the captured .wav file into WavePad for final editing. Unless you have a boom box, I would recommend connecting your tape deck to your receiver, and then connecting the line out of the receiver to your converter (I use a Behringer UCS-202 or something like that I purchased), which connects to your computer via a USB jack. I get first-class recordings. Golden Records does have some limited audio editing capabilities, but it is nowhere near as full-featured for audio file editing as WavePad. Golden Records is optimized for converting LPs and tapes and I think by skipping that software, you MAY be finding that WavePad isn't really designed to do what GR does so well. By the way, I don't work for NCH. It has just been my experience that you need to acquire the necessary specialized software to get a superior product. Just because something can do something, doesn't mean it can do it well. Just my two cents. Let us know how you make out; or, maybe, as often happens, someone with more knowledge will be able to explain what is going on in your situation. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Welcome to the Prism Forum. If it was me, I would try amplifying the sound using Wavepad. I have never done it, but the Wavepad software does have an "Amplify" capability listed under the "Effects" menu. Hope this helps. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

You will need to load an audio file into WavePad for it to look like what is on the tutorial video. It looks, from your screenshot, like you have not loaded an audio file to edit and that is why your screen is pretty blank looking. Hope this is of some help. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Jim: Yes, you do need an amp for best results. Many turntables don't put out enough signal. I have my turntable connected to my AV receiver, and then I connect my Behringer UCA202 to the "TAPE OUT" (Line Out) jacks of the AV receiver. I get great results. Let us know how you make out. Have a great day. Regards -Phil

Hello Jim: I don't think you will get much joy trying to use a mic jack for record input. I use a Behringer UCA202 "dongle", connected at one end to the Tape Out jacks of my receiver, and plugged into my computer via the USB cable. I consistently get outstanding results. Hope this helps and good luck. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

The Donald: Welcome to the forum. I too have encountered issues with GR wanting to split classical music at quiet stretches. My solution is to turn off auto splitting and reduce the noise floor. It does require that you take full control of the recording session. This isn't really a bug - how could GR be expected to determine what is a quiet passage and what is a quiet space between tracks? The software can only do so much. The splitting gets triggered by sustained input at the noise floor or below. I know that is probably not the "automated" solution you were looking for, but I really don't think there is a way to overcome this issue automatically, though others, with more experience than I, might have some valuable suggestions. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Mark, thanks for getting back to me, and others, with the solution. Will keep that trick in mind if others encounter a similar problem. I guess that I didn't have that box checked, but I was definitely getting an echo from my webcam microphone array. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil
