John,
Have got that message before from you so trust all is well in computerland with
you!
Okay, while I'm on, to stop then is it the spacebar?
Just at the beginning of the thread I joined I should have said that to cut
surplus intros and to extract and copy pieces from such as Brian Hartgen's
radio show, documentaries and the like.
Cutting out beginnings and copying pieces of interest to me is what I want
really for now.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Tony Sweeney

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.
