I'd say you have the usual bug everyone gets. WHY? I don't know. Try renaming your working folder and see if that helps, because it helped me!

it sounds like an anomalie. try this [ then reboot ] tools options audio processing clik "use this specified folder" then name your own folder and drive [ example - D:\audio\wavepad-working-folder ] clik ok I had a variety of weird problems that just stopped after re-naming the working folder. no, I don't know why. sorry.

pardon my intrusion here. But, you'll need to SAVE, the archived files such as [ save target as ] to a file that you name. wavepad can then edit out those pesky advertisements and convert the bit-rate and frequency too, if needed. you can also turn mono into stereo and the two other items I regularly use are automatic gain control and dynamic range compressor.

try this; tools options audio processing clik "use this specified folder" then name your own folder and drive [ example - D:\audio\wavepad-working-folder ] clik ok I was running into weird anomalies, like speed change, and other weirdness I saw this suggestion and tried it and it worked but I can't tell you why...sorry no guarantee it'll work, but give it a shot.

not sure about " nice n easy" the only way I know of, is to open them all, then cut and paste them one at a time at the tail end of the 1st file, til you are done! I had pyro and I threw it away, it pissed me off!!! lol

there's a thread with a link to the components you'd think by now, there'd be an automatic download of them once you put in the registration info, but there's not, not yet anyways kw

I just posted to bump this to the front page, because so many people were commenting about some weirdness, that I FOUND disappeared once I re-named the file and its' location. I still can't record...but that's a separate issue. v3.05 wavepad and speaking of not using vista, I still have other machines with xp, but am not feeling motivated to add them to my cluttered work area...

there seems to be a consistent problem with the default "working" folder lots of folks reporting weirdness with their recordings I have no idea why, and it would be nice to hear from nch on this. BUT the "fix" seems to be as simple as renaming your working folder like I did. bump to 1st page

I also had the CHIPMUNK high speed sound for a while too. I fixed it by renaming the working folder, from the C drive to one in the D drive I haven't had a problem since!

I would delete the software, then re-install it and then at that time, put in your purchase info. that should do it...

I've never tried an external drive, but I did rename the working folder in my C drive to a new folder in the D drive and it solved a lot of anomalies I was getting. It will probably work, just don't try running thing without the drive connected [ obviously ] I doubt that nch has any plans to change that, since you already have the option of renaming it and where it goes at your own discretion. " the 'Temp1.wav' file is nevertheless created in the 'Documents & Settings' folder on the C Drive. " to answer your question, I'm pretty sure that if you rename the file and location, whatever name is on the C drive don't Matter, because the NEWLY DESIGNATED FOLDER/name/location is where it'll be doing its' work. I hope that answers your question well enough...

first off, I just usually convert from wav to mp3 or vice versa so this is not my strong suit. anyways... there is so much incompatability with converters where the sound gets extra noise that you don't want. [ make sure you get a trial version before you buy ] a temporary fix for you, would be to just use an onboard recorder with a timer to record it in real time for you. [ like record pad ] in the mean time, you can keep asking around looking for one that will do the job right. I'm sorry, but that's the best I can do.

Go to FILE then SAVE FILE AS: wav, mp3,ogg, etc etc then choose your poison [ 256-128-64-etc ] anything saved after that by cliking the save button, will save at the last known rate

well, just from the hip I wouldn't use wavepad to record...except maybe a radio talkshow/podcast but not music you may want to try record pad and see how that works. I found for myself, that one software will not do all the things I'm looking for, so I had to buy a few different products that worked well in certain areas. I didn't like that idea, but I just accepted it and moved on. that's the best I can do, maybe someone else knows better info. goodluck

xp has a control panel you can access vista has some access but I can't even locate the SOUNDMAX folder or control panel to check the settings! I can't find it with this useless as tits on a bull search function in vista as far as I'm concerned, vista has no search function, it is useless. I haven't taken the time to call lenovo support because I wasn't in the mood for all the drama some techies are not very computer savvy and rely on the help screen they have, and know nothing beyond that. I had a techie tell me my modem was bad, but it just needed an update!!!!! [ I found out later ] sorry I can't be of more help. let us know what u come up with....

Sorry this is a dupe post from recordpad but it may give folks a heads up or get us all a needed fix; "Nothing will record using Vista I'm hoping that someone who had a similar problem who discovered the fix or was pointed there by a friend can pass on the info here besides record pad not working wavepad supermp3 recorder audacity and even the onboard vista recorder won't record I've looked throughout the control panel the best I could and I can't figure out what is switched off SOMEbody must know, I just hope they see this obviously, this is a Vista issue, but the fix could help any nch customer with vista and recording problems

well, you can't burn it live, you'll have to record it and save it then burn it if you are using VISTA....I can't help you, because no software that I own, will record on vista the issue remains unsolved. my onboard recorder that comes with vista don't work, neither does wavepad, nor audacity, nor super mp3 recorder something is not letting anything record and I don't know what it is yet... sorry....

I can't say for sure but I know ipod has a proprietary mp3 format, and perhaps the frequency and bitrate you saved at are not compatible. if you save at a non-standard rate something other than a full wave or half wave or qtr wave 44.100 - 22.050 - 11025 @ 256 or 128 or 64 or 32 then maybe it just can't "read it " properly that's my best guess....maybe someone else has a better answer...

ok, then what did you use to create the mp3's? what I'm getting at is, the header bar in the audio, only seen with a text editor in the audio file, is primarily the culprit in misreading file size. try opening your file [ just one of them ] to see the info. [[ actually, make a copy of the file to experiment with ]] be patient, it takes a while to open. the info in notepad will be divided up into two sections and a fairly big space between them the header bar will be readable, the other section where the music/audio is, will be code/gibberish. once it's open, see if you can identify anything that looks like it don't belong there. for me, I'd remove whatever didn't look right, save it, then see if it'll play. I know it's not precise, but that's the best I can do in that area. If you're not comfortable with playing around with that and want a better answer then maybe check out some "mp3 tag editor" forums for more exacting info....

you most likely have erroneous info that the burner is "seeing" nero seems to have the most trouble, what r u trying to burn with?

nch has a decent tag editor [ depending on your needs... \ stamp http://www.nch.com.au/tageditor/index.html

nothing in my 1st search areas I have 3 more to look in

mine has also crashed going into SAVE as weird as this may sound rename your working folder; under; file wavepad options; audio processing; audio working folder; clik that button, then name your own folder and partition C: or D:....[ example: D:WavePad- working folder ] once I did that, most of my anomalies stopped!!! the only thing I need to figure out is, why NOTHING will record on vista....NOTHING!!!!!!!

I'm gonna contact my support on monday, too busy today maybe tech help knows something this obviously is another vista based issue but I've gotten some real dumb [ perhaps canned ] responses in the past from tech help so, I'm not holding my breath here.... AND with the new "improved" SEArCH functions on vista I can't find anything can I proxy slap microslut from here?

did you try this?...; under; file wavepad options; audio processing; audio working folder; clik that button, then name your own folder and partition, like D:WavePad-working seems odd, but it may work... it won't make it any worse...
