John, 

That's great indeed! 

I have more time the weekend and I will surely get stuck in to all of that! 

Certainly appears to be very accessible. 

I certainly will of course let you know how I go but off list if that's okay. 

Thanks again to you and Andy!

  Hi Tony, by current it means the place you are in the file. Play or fast 
forward to the place you want the file inserted, click on insert file and 
choose current, and the file will be inserted at your current position.
    As far as saving files goes, if you don't want your original file to be 
overwritten use save as on the file menu, and give the altered version a 
different name. If you press control s and save it like that it'll overwrite 
the original file.
    Remember to set the format you want it saved in in the files of type box. 
Having done that click save and the encoder window comes up, and you can set 
the bitrate or sample rate you want the file saved in.
    Let me know how you get on with it,
                      John.

    John, 

    Just another thing or two! 

    Wonder what it means about 'current' when inserting file? 

    Will my say original in the my music folder be still intact or will those 
actions in wavepad change it in there? 

    Thanks, 

    Tony

      Hi Tony, that's right. Set the markers on each end of the part you want 
to cut, then go to cut and press enter on it.
        Another little tip. If there's a section you want copied, instead of 
setting the markers and clicking copy, then pasting it a quicker way to do it 
is this.
        Set the markers at beginning and end of the section, then go to the 
edit menu and you'll find an option Save select region as. Press enter on that, 
delete the name it's automatically put in and put in whatever name you want, 
then save it. Then, you can go to the edit menu and you'll find a submenu 
called insert file. Go in there and there are three options, beginning, current 
and end. That tells the programme where you want the file inserted. Choose an 
option and press enter. Another screen will come up, but it's just a 
confirmation, so just click OK.
        Another thing you can do is to mix files together. I can't think of a 
time you'd want to do it, but you can if you want to. Just go to the place you 
want the file to be mixed with another one and click on mix file in the edit 
menu. You'll get a browse window. Browse to the file you want to mix and press 
enter. As with the insert option another screen comes up, but just click OK.
        Let me know how you get on,
                          John.

        Hi Andy & John, 

        Well I've gott to playing an audio in Wavepad and even had some fun 
with playing slow and then fast options! 

        Yes practice I guess now. 

        Now I also entered on first position and on second position and the 
record still plays so presumably I go to cut is it? 

        Should I get that one right then that's me for now!

          Tony - highlight the file you want to work with. Press the 
application key, and arrow to edit with wavepad sound editor. Hit the enter key 
to select this option, and wavpad will open, it might take a few second to 
load, then press the space bar to begin playing the file. go to the menues to 
make your selection for what you wish to do with the file, most of what you 
need will be under the edit menu.

          HTH -

          Andy

            Hi John & Andy, 

            I downloaded the programme and it went to the my documents folder. 

            I played a song which is in that same folder, hitt the apps key but 
while it saw Wavepad it wouldn't do anything for me! 

            I wonder if I should move Wavepad to a different area?

              Hi Tony, I think it's excellent. As far as help files go I don't 
think there is one, but it's simple to use. There are only a couple of options 
that come to mind that someone not acquainted with audio processing may not 
understand, but as the majority of options are self explanatory one wouldn't be 
needed. Most people would have come across terms like cut, copy and paste. To 
use those options you just treat the audio as if you were editing text, using 
the markers to set the area to be affected.
                I've never found a programme which does as much as it does in 
as straightforward a way. I promise you, you won't have to learn to use it as 
you may audacity or goldwave.
                Incidentally, andy's post reminded me of something I hadn't 
mentioned. Open with Wavepad should be on the context menu of your audio files.
                Let me know how you get on,
                                  John.
                 
                It really is a simple point and shoot programme.

                Hi John, 

                Perhaps one final question from me on this. 

                Is there a Read Me file with it and how good do you find it? 

                Thanks, 

                Tony Sweeney

                  Hi Tony, yes. It's a great little programme. When you first 
install it it'll work as the pay version, till the trial time for the pay 
version is coming to an end, then you get a popup inviting you to buy the pay 
version. If you say no it carries on working, just disabling the extra 
functions.
                    That doesn't make much difference though. All of what you'd 
generally use is in the free version. I use it a lot to edit stuff downloaded 
from IPlayer, to cut off the surplus. All you need to do is to set the markers 
at the beginning of the section you want to cut, press enter and it's done. You 
can also copy and paste blocks in the same way. You can also super impose one 
file over another using the mix file function, and insert a file at the 
beginning, the end or current position.
                    The only slight negative I've found with it is moving 
backwards or forwards. It's quite slow.
                    Good luck with it,
                                      John.

                    Hi John 

                    I too am interested in that programme. 

                    I presume you copy the file you wish to edit from in to 
Wavepad
                      and work away as you described earlier? 

                      Thanks,

                      Hi Barbara, editing a file in it is as simple as editing 
text in notepad. To
                      do what you describe, saving a section as a separate file 
do this:
                      1 Play or fast forward to the beginning of the clip you 
want to save. On the
                      edit menu go to set first position and press enter. Then 
play or fast 
                      forward to the end of the section, go to the edit menu 
and press enter on 
                      set second position.
                        Then go to the edit menu and press enter on save select 
region as and 
                      press enter. Give it whatever name you want and save.
                                          John.
