  1. I did get it working by connecting to a BlueTooth device. Sort of an odd work-around, but I'm satisfied to use program this way. It is doing a good job of capturing streaming CD-quality audio. Another little fix: when I try and record a particular song, I can't press START RECORDING until an active stream is detected. Well, obviously you miss the start of the song. I found that you can restart the song while recording and that brief pause is not enough for the stream to die. Easy to edit out the false start later.
  2. Good detective work, Right Said Fred. It does sound like a Windows 11 problem. I think I already experimented with bluetooth on/off. But I'll try this and more combinations. Perhaps I will rub my belly and pat my head while listening to audio.
  3. It does not appear to work with my two Windows 11 computers, but I can't verify that the OS is the problem.
  4. I tried a different, non-Dell computer. The app is connecting to the loaded driver but again just sits waiting for an audio stream. I appreciate your response, Fred28, but this is not a "bug." The program is dramatically broken and the developers surely are aware of that fact. NCH should clarify situation for all customers. If I had to guess, it could be an incompatibility with Windows 11, which is common to my machines.
  5. I'm unable to detect audio streams at all. I tried different audio sources just in case it was a DRM problem. Under options, Sound input device can only be set to "[Default Sound In]" I don't really know what this means, it is nonsensical. I have many years of experience working with computers and audio applications. I should be up to making this app work if it is functional. I have a new Dell computer, Windows 11. But the sound cards are pretty generic. Perhaps the driver that they refer to in their skeleton documentation is not being loaded. I've used various NCH programs for many years, always solid quality. I'm surprised that the failure of this particular program is not acknowledged.
  6. After some more experimenting, the envelope function works quite well for designing fade outs. I was concerned that the curve wouldn't be smooth enough, or need to be redesigned for different durations, but the windowing is fine.
  7. I used Wavepad regularly in distant past, switched to AVS4You's audio editor about 5 years ago. I just gave the newest wavepad a spin, and am quite impressed with layout, waveform display, many other things. I'm used to dBs, not percents, so added presets to the amplification. Fine, although wish I could reorder them. My one concern is lack of flexibility with fade/in - fade out. Wavepad only has what seems to be a linear fade; I want the sound to decrease quickly at first then fade slowly (this is called "fade slowly" in avs4you.) I suppose something like this could be done by defining an envelope and applying, but that would be tedious, and I imagine different envelopes might be needed for different fade durations. I'm very surprised that wavepad doesn't offer different types of fade in/out, it's such an essential feature of music editing. The fade they offer is quite poor in my opinion. Are there work arounds? Thanks.
