Hi Zenesz,

Amplifying an audio file will simply increase the amplitude of the file by a set factor, so any audio which is close to clipping and distorting is likely to be pushed over this limit. This is especially so if your audio contains a large dynamic range of soft parts and loud parts.

I would suggest using the compressor to reduce the dynamic range of the audio file and then using the normalize function. Let me know if you need more details.

Hi diatonis,

Unfortunately WavePad doesn't have this option. I will add it to our list of suggestions.

Hi Skippster,

You can open your video file in WavePad and then simply the save the file as an mp3. Then open your other project and open the mp3 file you saved.

Ben

Currently you are not able to do this, but this feature is on our list of things to add in the future.

It sounds like the driver installation may have failed for some reason. Could you please try uninstalling and reinstalling Voxal? Please take note of any errors which may show during the installation.

Ben

Hi hlpmepls,

Can I please ask you to confirm that you rebooted your computer after installing Voxal?

Hi all

It turns out there was a bug in the code signing process which affected a small number of users. This issue has been resolved now.

Hi Ed McAskill,

Can you please describe your recording process? What kind of hardware are you using and what options have you selected in the WavePad settings dialog?

Hi Tim Prosser,

Generally you shouldn't need to adjust for latency - MixPad should do it for you. But if you are having troubles with your hardware then MixPad allows you to specify an offset. Since this is a manual setting, you may need to experiment with the correct value.

If you can describe your hardware setup I may be able to give you some suggestions on how to improve it and get better results. As much detail as possible would be great.

Ben

Thanks mjocyp

We'll have a close look at it and see what we can do for the next release.

Hi Sparty70,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'll have someone fix this.

Hi there,

If the clipping is due to the volume being too high you can either turn down the microphone input, or you could add an amplify module and use it to reduce the output volume.

Hi bookandsong,

In this case WavePad will simply copy the mono channel to both left and right channels.

Hi boblite,

Thanks for the update on how you solved the issue - makes sense.

Hi boblite,

SoundTap will automatically create a new recording whenever a stream stops and restarts again. It does not do this based on silence detection as this can be unreliable and cause breaks where there shouldn't be any.

Some streaming services restart the stream for every track/song they play. Other ones just keep one continuous stream going. I'm not sure why you got two different results from the same source, but it seems like they were using different methods to stream on each occasion.

Hi Twync,

If you still have the licence codes they should work fine.

Ben

Ok glad it's working for you. Thanks for the update!

Hi anotherbreed,

Thanks for your feedback. I am going to raise both of these items as features to be added for WavePad (the loop points and adding the loop option to the batch converter).

Thanks again,

Ben

Hi HollyCarpenter,

Voxal can be affected by a combination of hardware and software, so it is difficult to say without testing a specific VOIP client on your specific hardware. Can I start by asking why you suspect Voxal is not working with Curse?

Hi TagoCObra,

I've sent you a PM with some details I need to troubleshoot the problem for you.

Regards,

Ben

There are two tabs you should check in the Options dialog:

1. Audio

This is where you select the playback device

2. Recording

This is where you select your input device. There is also a pulldown list here which allows you to select which input of the device to use if your device has more than 1 input. If I remember correctly those Tascam 144s have 2 inputs, so you need to select the correct one.

Let me know what options you have selected on these tabs.

Regards,

Ben

Hi jup,

The best program for doing this would be WavePad which can perform an automated set of actions across a selection of files. Generally, the best method of altering the output volume of a collection of music is to 'normalize' them. Using WavePad's 'Batch Converter' you would select all the files you want to process, select the type of operation (normalize) and then specify how you want the new files stored.

Before doing this I would recommend experimenting with the best normalize settings first on a couple of files only. Once you're happy with the results then you can apply them to all your files.

You could technically do this in MixPad, although the process would be a bit convoluted as it isn't really designed for batch processing of individual files. You would need to manually load each file separately, apply the normalize process and then output the file.

Hi djtroyboy,

Any chance you could send me one of the problem mp3s? I will PM you with my contact details.

Regards,

Ben

Hi djtroyboy,

What format audio file are you trying to load? There should be no problem loading a 5 minute file.

Regards,

Ben

Yes, you can do that in MixPad. If you like you can perform the frequency banding directly in MixPad too.

Ben
