GL, Thanks for the comeback, and the info. I will definitely do some googling, Wes

Maybe you forgot to look in the "effects" menu! No, I didn't forget to look at the 'effects' menu. I read every word in the help file. First off, it doesn't look like any equalizer I've ever seen or used. And I've used a few. Secondly, for all its features, it offers very few examples. OK, it could be argued there are simply too many possibilities to provide examples for. I would suggest, however, that what I'm trying to do is very typical of what most audiophiles and ordinary listeners want to hear...more base. If there is a base guitar, we want to hear it; if the drummer is using his base drum, we want to hear it. WavePad is a very powerful little program, no question. But from a new user standpoint, it's not the most intuitive program I've ever used. Altho I come out of the broadcasting industry, I'm not a sound engineer. And don't want to be. I simply want to do one thing...add in more base, to the entire song. Then decide if I added too much or too little, and be able to change it as desired. And I havn't "hopped, skipped nor jumped" in so many years I don't think I'd remember how. Wes

I've downloaded 4 or 5 NCH programs, and like all of them. There is a learning curve, but it's not bad. After an hour using WordPad, I was able to record a song from a commercial cassette. The quality (using some of the filters) sounds much better than the cassette, However, what I'd like to do is add in more base before transfering the songs to a CD. This is often done with an equalizer, but I can't seem to find one among the various programs. Maybe I just missed it. Or maybe there's another way to do it. Suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.
