Are you possibly working with m3 files?

I think those have been known to sometimes have extra silence added, although I can't say why, or what to do (other than some tedious editing in WavePad)

I concur; I archive lossless files as flac.

For general use on my portable player I convert to 320 CBR mp3

(or the highest VBR - files are a bit smaller, although I'm not sure how much difference it makes for my use)

I had a more detailed explanation in mind, but for simplicity...

I use 'save as' for the first file, give it a new name, choose file type and a folder destination.

Then I will click on the second file to have it as the active window, and choose 'save all files'.

Now the destination folder will be default, and if you name each files with ascending numerical names at the start, they will stay in the order they are created.

Does anyone know how to re-set Wavepad so an entire file is in the window?

Have you tried the minimize/maximize buttons on the top right of the open file window (not the program window) ?

I apologize for not knowing what to recommend.

I've used WavePad for many years, but never have saved a 'project.'

Whenever you do an edit on a file, you should use 'save as' and give the edited file a new name, so as not to overwrite the original.

.

I am compiling a response will report back later tonight....

Personally I don't use bookmarks. I place the cursor at the spot where I wish to start the next 'track', and (in the Edit menu) choose "Split file at cursor".

Then in the new track I repeat the process. After fine tuning my edits, I will rename and save the new files to a new folder.  

My approach when wishing to speed up burning multiple copies of the same disc is to just load a copy of the folder/files to the other computer via flash drive.

Then you can burn from both simultaneously (and independently.)

Can someone tell me how can i bring my edited files from wave pad over to mix pad? It keeps saving it in wave pad only and doesn't allow me to use it in mix pad

This query would certainly more appropriately addressed in a post of its own, not adding to this one!

My first question/suggestion: are you saving just the WavePad project? If so, you may want to try saving the file (save file as) in a format suited to your MixPad project.

I'm not very familiar with mixpad, so it's just a thought. Good luck.

While I admit to never using bookmarks (so apologies if my post is irrelevant to your query) what you are describing is easily accomplished otherwise.  

Place the cursor at the spot you wish to begin the selection and drag to where you wish to end. Delete. Refine as necessary.

And - Always when manipulating a file, choose 'save as'  so as to maintain (not overwrite) the original.

Which version of WavePad are you using, and are you using it on a pc or mac?

Here is a link to a past thread which may be of some use to you: http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/25332-how-to-change-stereo-balance/

Is there a way to have the software copy the pause settings from the original disc when doing a disk copy? I am trying to copy a disk which has no pause between some tracks and a standard 2 second pause between others. I am using the free version right now. Would I need the paid version for this?

I might not be clear on what you are asking, but the pause (or silence) between tracks on a cd is actually at the end of the previous track, and/or at the beginning. 

So if you choose <Burn Session At Once to customize pause> and enter '0' in the Track Pause box...

The disc should then be burned in its original state. 

Glad to hear it worked out, and thank you for explaining your process.

 Sorry for my grumpy post.

Switch is an audio file format conversion program. And it performs very well for its intended purpose, which is not 'extraction'. (?) 

Your post, while certainly difficult to comprehend, makes one wonder what you are trying to do, and what you are crying about. 

Understood. Sorry if I bothered you.

The 'flaws' I refer to are not in the software (Switch) but rather in quality of audio file.

Peace 

A bit off topic, but why would you convert from mp3 to wav? You realize the flaws inherent in doing so?

fwiw:

"Pandora: Section 6 includes prohibitions on recording (as well as password-sharing and several other actions): “you shall not … modify, download, intercept, or create any derivative works of the Services, including any translations or localizations thereof … copy, store, edit, change, exploit, download, prepare any derivative work of, or alter in any way any of the content made available through the Services.”

My understanding is that asd files are for use in the Ableton Live platform.

This may not be of any help in your case, but I would export the rendered files from Live as .wav ( or aiff) and then they are easy to convert.

Although it isn't possible with earlier versions, if you are using Live 10 you can export the files as mp3.

.

I am a bit late replying to your question, and my full response and advice will take some more time and experimentation once I understand your scenario.

(I'm not sure about the previous reply to your question but I believe that you can possibly get some satisfaction using WavePad and not need to use MixPad.)

So - if you are still attending this forum - let me ask a question or two to get help me best understand how to respond/help....  

What is your approach when recording an interview which I assume requires a microphone for the interviewer and another for the person being interviewed? 

How do record that into WavePad?

To keep tracks in order I would highly recommend making sure that each track name begins with a 2-digit number, and numbers less than ten should be labeled 01. (title), 02. (title) etc.

Although it can be a bit tedious, if your tracks do  not appear in the burn window in the order you wish, you can manually select and drag them to a new position in the list.

Under the file menu, or on the home tab you want to choose 'Open'.

Or you can just select and drag an image into the window. 

The black border is most likely due to frame size of the video (or associated issues), something which cannot be addressed with Express Burn; it's function is solely for burning cds/dvds.
