Hi again and thanks for the explanation. As regards Edit/Join/Join Mono to make stereo, I still see no sign of it...

Excellent, Ben, thank you very much for that. I've googled 'DC' and got Direct Current. Is that what you meant? Splitting into two channels was a breeze but I can't see the 'Edit...Join' command anywhere. My version is 5.33. Could you show me how to get to that function please?

Hi. I've always assumed that Wavepad was showing me the left and right audio channels (above and below the mid-screen horizontal line). Now I'm not so sure. I've just loaded a file which begins in stereo but, a minute into it, only comes out of one speaker. You can see this by the circled single green line. If Wavepad was indeed showing both channels, the waveform would look like the section at the end (which I've doctored), wouldn't it? Can someone clarify this for me please? Also, is it possible to edit single channels? It would be nice if I could copy the audio of my weird file into the empty channel. My thanks in advance for any assistance offered.

I use Wavepad without a problem. A relative of mine would benefit from it but his PC is out of the ark. Is there a version of Wavepad anywhere that will work on Windows ME?

Thanks for that, vapors. I have wondered about the '%' function - you'd think 200% would sound twice as loud but it doesn't...

Hi. I read somewhere that it's best if the highest 'spikes' of a file just touch the upper and lower edges of the main WavePad window. But now I see that the main window can be changed by means of a slider control on the right hand side. So what is the optimum window size for 'reading' the spikes - the unadjusted window when the file is first opened or something else? My underlying problem is with some FLAC songs which I keep in a large folder. Some are just too low in volume compared to the rest. I'm using WavePad's 'Amplify' tool to bring them up. What's the best way of telling when I'm going too high - the upper window (too small to properly assess the spikes), the meter at bottom right of screen or ... something else? My thanks for any advice offered.
