GoldWave is a commercial digital audio editing software product developed by GoldWave Inc, first released to the public in April 1993.
GoldWave Inc. is a small, privately owned, Canadian based corporation, located near St. John's, Newfoundland. The company develops clean, affordable, professional quality, digital audio editing software and multitrack audio/video mixing software. The company is named after the GoldWave Digital Audio Editor, which was released in April 1993. The software has continued to improve over the past 20 years and is considered one of the best available today.
GoldWave has an array of features bundled which define the program. They include:
A version prior to the version 5 series still exists for download of its shareware version at the official website.
All versions up to 4.26 can run on any Windows operating machine. Since 2004, GoldWave has stopped supporting Windows versions such as 95, 98, and 98SE (although GoldWave will still run on Windows 98SE, albeit unsupported) and renders the software unusable on those systems. Also, the system requirements have increased slightly, since now a Pentium III of 700 MHz and DirectX 8 are now part of the minimum system requirements compared to the Pentium 2 of 300 MHz and DirectX 5 required by previous versions.
