It will not work on a 286 or below. 2.2) If you are using a desktop other than Program Manager, you may get an error when trying to run GoldWave. If such an error occurs, try running GoldWave from Program Manager. (For PC Tools users, I have not been able to find a reason for the GPF yet. I have made some changes that may solve the problem. As yet, I do not have PC Tools, which makes testing difficult. I will be getting a copy soon.) 2.3) The Cross-fade command has been renamed to Interpolate. 2.4) VOC files are now saved using version 1.20 format. GoldWave will only use the older VOC format if the sound is mono 8-bit with a sampling rate less than 23000Hz. If a VOC file saved by GoldWave becomes incompatible with your Sound Blaster driver: 1) Open the file in GoldWave 2) Make sure the sampling rate is less than 23000Hz. If it is not, use Effects | Resample to convert to a lower sampling rate. 3) Use File | Export to save the file as mono unsigned 8-bit. If possible, you should get a copy of the latest Sound Blaster drivers. 2.5) GoldWave now makes use of more of the RIFF WAVE standard file format. New chunks such as the 'cue ' and LIST 'adtl' are included to store cue points. These chunks are stored at the end of the WAVE file to minimize problems with some programs that do not correctly read/ignore WAVE chunks. Cues are stored only in Wave files. 2.6) The largest file you can open depends upon how much RAM you have for Windows. If you plan to use 16-bit, stereo, 44100Hz CD quality, then you need 10 megabytes of RAM for every minute of sound. Future version of GoldWave will allow direct-to-disk editing of large wave files. 2.7) If you are tired of the current colour scheme, add the following lines to the end of the GOLDWAVE.INI file in your WINDOWS directory (this file will be created when you first run and close GoldWave): [Colour] Start Marker=255, 255, 255 Finish Marker=255, 255, 255 Graph Background=0, 0, 128 Scope Background=0, 0, 128 Amplitude Scope=255, 255, 255 Spectral Scope=255, 255, 0 Scope Grid=0, 0, 0 The three values specify the intensities of red, green, and blue. They can be set to: 0, 128, or 255. The value 255 is the maximum intensity. To get light grey, set all three values to 192. Note that the colour of the markers depends upon the background colour. Make sure the colours you specify are visible (i.e. don't set background and scope colours to the same values) 2.8) In order to get the scope working correctly, you might have to change the positioning method in the Device Setup dialog box. The Estimate method is good for playback, but there is a small delay for recording to allow certain cards to transfer recorded data to RAM. 2.9) When using record looping, remember to turn it off when you want to do your final recording. 2.10) GoldWave now includes the latest version of BWCC.DLL from Borland. GoldWave checks for this version of BWCC.DLL (or a newer one). If you get an error message, you should delete any older copies of BWCC.DLL or replace them with the one included with GoldWave. You may have to restart Windows to remove the older BWCC.DLL from memory. Only one copy of BWCC.DLL is needed and should be kept in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. -------------------------------------------------------------- 3.0 Shareware, Copyright & Distribution, Warrenty -------------------------------------------------------------- 3.1 Shareware ------------- GoldWave is a shareware program.
