Why should I use GoldWave as my audio file editing program?
Whether or not you use GoldWave is your decision, but I personally find that GoldWave is powerful, stable, and inexpensive. It will do everything that you need to do for less than $50 (US). I’ve used it for several years now and it has always done the job for me. It will record from any source available on the PC, digitally process the audio file(s) in just about any way you desire, and then edit the files into individual tracks (or assemble individual files into a big composite track.) Return.
