when I load an .ogg file into "switch" and hit "convert now", the operation is unsuccessful, I'm told the file can't be converted. Help?
It probably "can't".

Sorry, the source wav file is around 28MB and when coverted to mp3 or wma around 54MB. Thanks for your advace I will try that route!
What a great idea!
A quick at the recommended link for sending large files by email to strangers across the world would certainly suggest that this "senduit" link has been established by either governmental authorities or by the music publishing industry, looking for copyright violations! So if you do not mind those unencrypted files that are sending to who-knows(?) over the internet (which is hardly the most secure venue for file transmittal unless precautions are taken), then by all means fall speed ahead, if you have nothing to hide from anyone. In short, the internet is an open book unless you "lock" the book against those who would peek.
Repeat: What a great idea! (the route may be bumpy)

thank you, phil.
for what i can see, features in the 2s appear to be the same. is there anything i'm missing? probably... :-)
Probably :-)
Has it occurred to you that you might not be able both to obtain (by a legal download) a free piece of software which is also advertised (from the very same company) at a reasonable license price, with both pieces of software having the identical set of operating features?
If not, then you might stop to think back, through all of your past experiences, when such a situation has presented itself to you :-)
Now that you have thought about it (for a fraction of a second, I presume), you may have some different thoughts on the matter.
There is no substitute for logic and common sense--as brutal as this thinking process may sometimes may be!!!

Hi
I've been evaluating the free version for some time and waiting for the "paid-for" price to come down.
In my opinion the free trial version has gone from almost completely trouble-free and great to a complete glitchy PITA.
I don't understand how NCH can allo such a glitchy free version to promote their "paid-for" app.
I have not run into similar issues with drivers on other apps but the nag screen now comes up immediately upon loading the free version (and then, what's the point?)
I have managed to get the free version to run but record levels and saving are very weird now...much more glitchy than they used to be.
I'm signing off and finding something else.
Good luck.
Apparently you haven't yet heard.
Despite that ancient American saying, the best things in life are not free :-)

How can I monitor the input volume using the VU meters BEFORE I actually start recording. The VU meters do not display levels until I start the recording. The levels are usually too high. I end up adjusting the levels while the session is recording, ending and discarding the first recording attempt and start the recording session again.
Thanks
The best place to start learning what this sound-level monitoring business is about is at the website:
www.darkwood.demon.co.uk/PC/meter.html
Here you can download a couple of different _free_ (no strings whatsoever) excellent little sound-level meters that can be used along with any recording program to precisely set your sound level at _any_ time in the process. Download this little gem, read the instructions, and have a _look_ at what it is doing. Who knows, the puzzle might even clear up, particularly when the price is right :-)
This guy knows very well what he is doing. Now there are two.....

Where can you turn up the bass in Wavepad Masters?... or in other words what are the settings for the eq?
These two things are not the same.
"Where can you turn up the bass in Wavepad Masters?" means: "In which WavePad menu is given an entry for increasing the amount of bass?"
On the other hand, "What are the settings for the eq?" means: "How does one adjust the available controls (having found them in the appropriate menu) to achieve the desired increase in the amount of bass?"
So which is it (not "in other words") that you want?
There is certainly an undeniable advantage in knowing how to speak the language sufficiently well to obtain and utilize information about technically oriented software. But then, I guess that I am just old-fashioned :-)

Thank you for that offer. I indeed have a problem with MP3Gain. I have 23 MP3 files, all created the same way. The analyse log shows
Not enabling No check MP3Gain shows this values of only one file: Volume 144,2, clipping ???, Track Gain -55,7, clip(Track) ???, Album volume 144,2, Album Gain -55,7, clip(album) ???. When enabling the No check MP3Gain analyses just the first 6 files (skipping one).
Now I wonder what to do: Normalize with WapePad in two steps or gain with MP3Gain in an unknown way?
You say that you have 23 MP3 files, which were all created the same way. However, you did not say what type of application was used to create these files. The problem here seems to be that you used the "wrong" type of conversion software to create these files: you used "level 2" mp3 versus the standard "level 3" mp3. It is assumed by the mp3gain application that level 3 mp3 has been used to do the mp3 conversion.
Where did your files originate? That is, how were they created and what was their format before they became mp3 files? I have not run into your particular problem, since all of the mp3 sound-file format conversion which I do (and I have a few programs which do such conversions, such as WavePad, Switch, Lame, and others which I shall not mention here, etc., etc), result in an mp3 LEVEL THREE file, which works nicely with the mp3gain normalizing application.
I think that your answer to my question should illuminate the trouble area. In short, just tell me where you got these files which you are trying to normalize....

Hello,
Thank you for your detailed response. Smile: I have installed MP3Gain a short time before WavePad but didn't use it anymore, because I assumed not to need it using WavePad. Now I'll study MP3Gain's help and compare the normalization of both of them, MP3Gain and WavePad.
Thanks a lot,
Anselm

If you need any help or clarification with mp3gain and the distinction between the normalization accomplished with this superb little program and that which is offered by WavePad, ask here and (perhaps) I can be of some assistance. I believe that I understand the basic concepts, although admittedly not having every last detail under control :-). In my experience, it is only getting a good grasp upon the basic concepts which can produce a truly satisfactory result.
I wonder how many folks around these technically-oriented forums even recognize what constitutes a "satisfactory" result? In order to avoid confronting this question, they remain silent. Frozen into silence, that is.......

Hello,
I don't understand that: I recorded some tunes from a cassette (in .wma format). With WavePad I normalized them to a peak level of 100. The amplitude in the graphical view seemed a little low and so I tried to normalize again. And now the level is as usual. How is that possible? Isn't peak level 100 the absolute maximum?
Thank you in advance vor helping,
Anselm
Here is something that you can understand! It is a small freeware program which is very easy and straightforward to use and will (with just a small amount of usage) lead to a superb understanding of what normalization is all about. Strong emphasis upon a grasp of the essentials.
This program, which is right to the point, approaches the subject of normallization from a very different viewpoint than that "traditional" approach used by WavePad. Not that WavePad is "bad"--just that its "normal" approach to this subject is faked out by an end-run (so to speak) around normality.
This program, however, is limited to mp3 files only, which is of course the reason for the name "mp3gain". It is easily used in conjunction with WavePad by doing what is necessary (on the editing/conversion side of the process) to create an mp3 file. Once you have such a file, then "normalize" it using mp3Gain, effortlessly and painlessly, while indeed understanding what you are doing! You will then be one-up on 99.99 of folks who have been unsuccessfully attempting to normalize their mp3 files since the beginning of time :-)
So run, do not walk, to the website "http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net" and download the file from the download link named "mp3gain-win-1_2_5.exe".
If you still wish to normalize your mp3 files using WavePad's traditional approach to normalization, then someone else will have to help you with this. It's that simple--if anything about normalization can be claimed to be simple :-). I might add that I have posted this information here (albeit in a more extended form, along with information about another type of mp3 application) with absolutely no response. Users in this forum seem to be terrified by anything at all that even remotely smacks of something "technical," even though it will (with just a slight amount of effort) solve a giant and persistent problem for them! If you are one of these timid souls (even though this a simple program and concept to grasp), then so be it. The choice is yours.

I'm creating large MP3 files for educational purposes which are edited in Wavepad (I have the master's edition) but are played by my students in their MP3 players... Our standard application at work is Microsoft Windows Media Player. I would like to be able to add markers (or tabs or sections - not sure what the terminology is...) that will seprate the large file into sections that allow the listener to skip to the next section without having to listen to the whole file...I have tried using bookmarks but when I listen to the file in Windows media player it appears as one large file and the skip buttons (--->|) are greyed out.
How do I do this using Wavepad?
WavePad bookmarks are used for editing and/or locating purposes while using WavePad. As far as I know, WavePad bookmarks are not recognized by the Windows Media Player application, which merrily ignores them, as though they do not exist. Tough luck.
Hence what you need to do is create separate mp3 files for the various sections (which are called "regions" by WavePad). Each section will then be recognizable by Windows Media Player, and it is a simple matter to pass over unwanted files that correspond with sections of the original large file in which the student is not interested.
Directions for creating regions and saving them as independent files are provided in the WavePad help file which is included with the program. The keyword to look for in searching through the help for is "region".

I've been looking for a software that seperates instruments.. For example i want to load music and eliminate an instrument or vocal.. this way i will only have the instruments i want to here..
Please help...
Thank you...
Audio editing software separates (if this is needed) sounds by their frequency content, not specifically by instrument. If two instruments produce sounds which lie in different parts of the frequency spectrum, then these instruments can be "separated" by frequency-selective filtering. For example, a piccolo can easily be separated from a tuba, since a piccolo produces very high-pitched signs while a tuba produces very low-pitched sounds. On the other hand, if the sounds that two instruments produce lie within the same range of frequencies (i.e., on "top of each other," as it were), it is impossible to separate them by a frequency-filtering process. In this case, there is no way for the software to recognize which is which.
If there is a frequency overlap in the two instruments, but some frequencies remain unique to one instrument while other frequencies remain unique to the other instrument, then it is possible to provide a "partial separation" by eliminating the frequency range which is common to both instruments. The result is unlikely to be very good, however, since frequencies will be removed for both instruments, leading to a degraded tone quality for both instruments. The degradation depends upon the amount of frequency overlap. Every case is different; try experimenting and see if you can come up with an acceptable compromise. To do so, you will have to learn about filtering, in the "effects" menu.

I downloaded the "free" version of WavePad. I had a specific problem during installation of not being to able to connect an input source to the software. I have written on three different occasions requesting help concerning that issue in these forums. I did not expect NCH to provide free technical support for me. It may be a prudent presale action, but that is not the purpose of these forums. However I did not receive a single hint or suggestion from anyone, either from NCH or any members of these forums. It makes me think about the preparedness of the other member though, when my postings were viewed over 300 times, and not a single reply was posted by members either.
Today my trial period for WavePad has expired, and the application urges me to purchase and activate the program. I am not accusing NCH with anything, I let them to chose the word they prefer to use to describe their conduct. I would call myself a fool if after this experience I would purchase this software. But I am not calling with names myself either. What I am doing is removing WavePad from my computer, and disregarding any offer (free or otherwise) from NCH in the future. I suggest you do the same. Best regards!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Would you care to speculate upon the percentage of legitimate technical questions posted in this forum which is answered (correctly, promptly, and with clarity) by the readers of these questions?
How does your current guess compare with your assumption at the time that you downloaded the "free" software?
Actually, you got more than you paid for, albeit less than the full-featured set of the licensed version of the software. It is naive to believe that answers to technical questions about sound editing software are going to come from those, like yourself, who are seeking answers to such questions! The large majority of those who use this forum are seeking answers to their questions, rather than seeking to answer questions posed by others. This is inevitably the case, given the technical nature of sound editing software.
A software purchase (which may include the support that is necessary to educate novice users) is a zero-sum game. Apparently you did not understand this when you downloaded the "free" version of WavePad. Unfortunately, this is (sigh) the way that things work.

Hello Gooroo,
- Looking into what’s required for users to change the version of LAME installed
- From my understanding editing a compressed file ( of any sort) via individual samples is time consuming and VERY machine intensive; well outside the bounds of your average user.
gooroo: Editing an mp3 file by using "frames" can be very machine intensive. The free application which can be obtained at the URL which I shall give shortly allows the user to vary the speed of the processing in eight discrete increments, from one to eight. The default processing speed is four. Hence the user who has a slow processor can go all the way up to eight in order to slow down the process to (hopefully) a speed that his computer can manage.
As to the matter of this type of editing being "time consuming," this depends upon what the user wants to do. I have not had this program for very long and have not explored its various facets; i.e., the various tasks that can be performed, from simple things like trimming a section from the beginning (or end) of the file, versus something more complicated like using the analogue of WavePad's "regions" to separate a file into more than one piece. My guess (without having delved into this application) is that the most common task, like "normalizing," is probably the easiest to do. I will address normalization of an mp3 file using frame-editing technique shortly.
For the moment, for anyone who may be interested in this apparently-excellent little frame-editing application that I have uncovered hanging out (but not too much in evidence) on the internet is named by its author, Martin Pesch, as "mp3DirectCut". The latest version is 2.09, dated May 30, 2008. It is available from this German website:
http://mpesch3.de1.cc/mp3de.html
On this page you will find three choices for downloading. I downloaded my copy from the download link "winfuture.de", which I suspect is the most reliable source. This program is absolutely free, no strings attached. It includes a short .pdf instruction manual which can be printed out. I should warn that, although it appears that Mr. Pesch has done an excellent programming job, his English is not too good. Although I have been able to translate some of his linguistic eccentricities, users without good skill in the English language may come away scratching their heads :-). Just be forewarned.
Please be advised that I do not intend, at least in the foreseeable future, to provide users with instructions for using this program (over and above what is provided in the adequate-for-skilled-computer-users help file. You are on your own here, and I agree that a novice user may have trouble figuring out what this small program is all about, since it uses an editing approach which is entirely different from that used in WavePad. However, one who can use WavePad with facility should be able to make the transition to mp3DirectCut without excessive difficulty.
So I would recommend downloading it if you are interested in the general editing of an mp3 file without any loss of quality due to the necessity for first decoding the mp3 file to a wav file, then editing it with something like WavePad, then encoding it back again to an mp3 file.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only mp3 frame editing that I have done so far has used a second small, very impressive entirely free application with the name "mp3Gain". Its sole purpose is to normalize files, where "normalize" as used here means either to adjust the volume level of a single file to an absolute standard of loudness, or to adjust the volume levels of a group of files to an arbitrary level. Whatever arbitrary level is chosen, the group of files are then likely (based upon a statistical probability) to have a similar loudness. I have found this loudness adjustment process to be extremely useful and very easy and quick to accomplish using mp3Gain. I cannot recommend it too highly. Instructions are included; while a bit sketchy, even the novice user should be able to get the gist of this business rather quickly.
The major thing that this program accomplishes is to make it very clear when clipping will occur, and the user can adjust the volume level to avoid such clipping. If necessary, the volume level can be increased (without resulting in clipping) by using WavePad's AGC compression technique to reduce the instantaneous range of volumes. By using compression, a higher average volume can be obtained without having the peak volume become so high as to cause clipping. All of this is much easier to do than to explain here :-). Since I know in detail what this little program is about, I will be able to answer your questions on how to use this specifically-targeted application.
For the moment, run (do not walk) to the website "http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/download.php and download the following file, from a number of choices which are offered:
mp3gain-win-full-1_2_5.exe
If you cannot figure it out, come back here, ask, and I will try to explain it to you. Just remember, using this application is very simple and straightforward, but the only thing that it does is normalize volume levels. If you want to do other mp3 editing without quality loss, then you will have to use something like the mp3DirectCut application that I described above (with perhaps a few linguistic somersaults to understand the author's English). Don't get me wrong; I am not criticizing him for this. After all, I cannot speak any German!
This should be enough information to get started.

I purchased the master edition of wavepad
I registered online and gave the info pertaining to the seriaL number as requested on the registration form
I never saw anywhere to give the ID key number that I was sent by NCH in the email.
I keep getting this pop-up telling me my wavepad is about to expire
I know it's probably something simple, but.................
Can someone give me a hand here?
Greatly appreciate any help you can give me

Dear Junkie,
In WavePad's File menu is an encrypted entry: "Register Master's Edition".
I suspect that this entry is somehow associated with the amelioration of your overwhelming anxiety.

Hi,
In case you didn’t realize, NCH don’t make codecs, it utilizes them. For .mp3 we are of course using the LAME codec.
gooroo: Unfortunately, however, NCH is using the older version of LAME, which is 3.82. This version has now been upgraded to version 3.98.2, alternately referred to as 3.98r ("r" for revised). This newest revised version of 3.98 contains the superior form of VBR (Variable Bit Rate) used in the earlier version 3.82 and still used today by NCH. Just recently I told a poster who asked about the use of the newer version of LAME that "Old is Gold."
This newest version of LAME is in a form in which the user sets the upper and lower instantaneous bitrates. I normally use a Variable Bit Rate from 224 kbps to 320 kbps, which averages out somewhere near 220 kbps and gives a reproduction quality which is virtually indistinguishable from the original sound.
Unfortunately still, NCH (unless I am mistaken; please feel free to contradict me) does not provide instructions which permit the user of its software (such as Switch and WavePad) to install the latest downloaded version of the LAME encoder in the proper folder so that these NCH programs can utilize it. If you have any information which contradicts what I am saying, I would be more than glad for you to post it here, since I understand that the latest improved version of LAME is very good indeed and corrects some past problems with version 3.97, which has now been retired from the LAME website.
MJ: You shouldn’t theoretically loose quality going from .mp3 > .wav, though you will slightly from going back to .mp3. There is no way around this.
gooroo: You are correct in that the loss in quality occurs when .wav is encoded as .mp3, and not in the decoding of .mp3. If one starts with a .wav file, converts it to .mp3, then discovers that he wants to edit it, he will lose some quality if he decodes the file, edits it, and then once again converts it to .mp3. It is the encoding to .mp3 in this cycle which the poster would like to avoid.
However, there are specialized small and completely free forever, without any chameleon change at some later time, applications available on the internet which permit a certain specialized type of editing of .mp3 files, in which decoding is not required. Hence this limited editing can be performed upon an mp3 file, without the inevitable loss of quality that results when the file is decoded before it is edited. If NCH has no objection, I will be happy to post the URL for downloading one exceptionally good free application of this sort, which can be used in conjunction with NCH conversion software.
MJ:Simply keep a copy of the original source material. If you will work on the file for while, keep it in the .wav format until you need to output it.
If you look about, you can find more details on the inner working of the algorithm that LAME use.
I agree with you, with it not hard to find 1TB drives for AU$150.00, the size of audio files really isn’t a concern. If you need to retain that quality, keep it as a .wav. if you need to stick it on a smaller portable music device, then compress back down again.
gooroo: And I submit that this may be easier said than done! I am guessing that the poster who is lamenting the loss of quality in the decode mp3-edit-recode mp3 does NOT have the .wav original and wants to edit the mp3 version, which is almost surely the only version in his (or her) possession. If so, then perhaps the use of the small, specialized .mp3 editor which I have described will permit this individual to avoid this quality-loss cycle, when he has no control over the fact that the original .wav file was encoded to mp3 "behind his back," so to speak.
MJ:Losses like you describe are why professional studios use ultra high sample rates and frequency ceilings to minimize the loss of quality you speak of. When complete, they downgrade 44.1hKz sample / 20kHz ceiling.
Hope this helps
----------
gooroo:Somehow, I seriously doubt that it will. But then again, I could be wrong. I have been before. Perhaps the poster will step forward and admit that he does not possess the .wav version of the file--assuming of course that this is the case. If it is the case, then I suspect that the use of the type of mp3 editing program that I have described above will help :-).
Do you suppose that NCH is willing for this kind of help (i.e., its internet location) to be posted right here in this forum?

Why wont this program I just bought allow me to rip a cd to an Ogg Vorbis VBR 64kbps on my Mac? Says this format is not supported?
This is what I bought it for, feel like I've just been ripped off.
I don't believe that Switch (free or otherwise, PC or Mac) supports Ogg Vorbis, either VBR or constant bit rate.
Others may prove me wrong :-)

It was probably the later. It does depend on which version you download as well: one will expire completely after the trial period has elapsed, the other will revert back to the free version.
Perhaps the message to which the poster refers should be rewritten to clarify the difference between these two versions, or to steer the user toward the explanation provided elsewhere.

The hum is not a problem with converting the cassette tapes he is now doing. My question is related to how to remove the hum that is on the recording he has already done.I am not needing to know how to keep the hum out in the future...only removing it from the existing recordings. And...it's not a matter of if he is "tufunuf" to show up here;since that would do little towards him being able to fix the problem. We simply need to know how to remove the hum from the completed recordings.
...thanks in advance
If the hum is not a problem with converting the cassette tapes he is now doing, why cannot he use the "humless" technique that he is now using to rework those cassette tapes so that there is no hum problem? It is far better to get it right in the first place (i.e., to avoid introducing hum where no hum belongs) than it is to use a faulty setup, introduce hum into the file, and then try to get it out! The major problem with attempting to wipe out hum from a sound file is that the hum spectrum will almost certainly be vying with the wanted frequencies within the same spectral region. Therefore, filtering out hum frequencies will invariably remove some of the wanted frequency content. And guess what? If you don't put those unwanted hum frequencies into the file, then you will not be faced with removing some of the wanted frequencies when you remove some of the unwanted frequency content. :-)
This being said, there is no absolutely sure-fire method for eliminating hum once you have been infected with the HumBug. In order to attack this Bug with any reasonable degree of success, it is necessary first to determine the frequency content of the hum. This determination requires something which is called a "spectral analysis." It is discussed in the WavePad Help file, under the title "Discrete Fast Fourier Transform" or "Temporal Fast Fourier Transform." The difference between these two methods is that the former is a spectral snapshot at one particular point in time, whereas the latter is a spectral analysis covering a certain time span. You may find the tools for performing these analyses in the (where else?) Tools menu.
After you find out what your ailment is (the analog of a medical diagnosis), you can then set about designing a frequency filter in an attempt to remove the offending frequencies. This is also discussed in the Help File.
Read the discussions in the Help file (both as they relate to Fast Fourier Transform analysis and to filtering out unwanted frequencies) to find out how to proceed to solve your problem. Alternatively, go back to square one, dig up those original cassettes and rework those conversions. This will avoid having to dig into the Fast Fourier Transform procedures. In other words, you may wish to rethink your approach to this hum-elimination problem which, when it "works," will most likely only remove some of the hum, however "hum" may be defined. One has to be careful in defining this fuzzy word in any particular case.
Welcome to Fast Fourier Transforms!! :-)
Happy adventuring.

A friend of mine converted a audio cassette tape to a mp3 file on his website. The Mp3 file has a terrible humming noise that almost covers up the audio. Can WavePad remove all of the humming sound from the recording? If so, how is it done with the software program WavePad.
Thanks in advance.
Tuf
One little word of caution: never offer thanks in advance.
Do you suppose that your friend is "tufunuf" to show up here in person and explain his/her hum problem? If not, it is virtually guaranteed that the problem will continue to hum along--forever and ever and ever and........

I can't find this anywhere on the NCH site: A simple comparison of the Free and Plus versions of Switch.
I'm using the free version and like it a lot, and I'm also willing to support NCH with payment for the upgrade to Plus -- but I'd first like to know exactly what additional features/benefits I'll be getting.
Thanks...
Dear Liz,
I would suggest that you go for a walkabout in the bush:
(1) Within two weeks of downloading the free version of Switch, try a particular conversion and see if it works. If it doesn't, then you are out of luck, since for the first two weeks, all of the features designed into the Plus version are available for trial in the free version. Now for step #2 of your walkabout.
(2) If the conversion is properly executed, then wait for one more week (for good measure) and try the same conversion once again. If it _now_ fails, you know that your cut-down free version does not possess this feature possessed by the Plus version.
(3) If you want to determine whether another conversion is available within the limited confines of the free version, then download another copy of the free version and try this same thing all over again. If your legs are not worn out by this time, you will have another data point on the difference between the free an plus versions.
(4) Keep on trying this for as many different conversions as you wish. This will allow you to build up your own special "differential" list between the two versions of Switch.
(5) This is the way that it is done in the bush. It is known as persistence in the face of adversity.

---------------------------------
I find it very difficult to imagine how one who is doing anything at least half-way serious can find any utility with a "special" version of WavePad in which the batch file processor, bookmarks, and regions have deliberately been removed so that it can be offered at no cost and continue to "work" forever (i.e., after an initial trial period)!!
Perhaps your "workflow" can tolerate this forever lack of essential features. After you answer this question, you may confirm my oft-repeated claim that "The best things in (software) life are not free".
In other words, don't waste your time just for the sake of claiming that you somehow scored a coup and got it free. Pay up, save a lot of aggravation, and get something which has utility beyond an initial short trial period (two weeks) during which all features designed into the licensed version are fully operational.
