I finally got GoldWave registered. No more annoying nag screens, or sessions getting stopped by timing out. Nice.
GoldWave is very very close to becoming a top-of-the-line audio editor. If Chris Craig would offer plugin support, real time auditioning of effects, and ASIO drivers, that software would be brilliant!!! I also feel that the dynamic processors could be a little more straight forward.
Cool Edit seemed clumsy in comparison. The coolest thing about it was the scrooling view where your marker stays right in the center as the file plays.
For $40 GoldWave is a steal. With registering you get free upgrades for life with it. Chris Craig told me in a email that the new version should offer some of the above mentioned things. We will see. If anything, you can feel good that you have helped him develope the product.
