I mention this because I've been using a demo of Gold Wave for years to work with sound effects. I'm sure there are better sound tools out there, but if you don't have anything else, this is a great tool to use (especially for free!).
I'd also like to mention that if you install it today, you can reinstall it any time in the future by downloading the standard Gold Wave Editor Pro installation files, installing those, then copying the Gold Wave Editor Pro directory from the Giveaway of the Day install on top of it. Finally, use the registration keys provided by GotD to register it again.
Please note that the software you download and install during the Giveaway period comes with the following important limitations:
- No free technical support
- No free upgrades to future versions
- Strictly non-commercial usage
:(
Thanks for making this known, though. I'll keep trying throughout the day, because I'd like to work on some nice little sound effects.
