It will not work on a 286 or below. 2.2) Due to the large number of programs which do not properly read RIFF WAVE files, GoldWave now writes the INFO chunk at the end of the file instead of the beginning. This should solve problems with programs that *wrongly* assume there are no extra chunks in wave files. (GoldWave v1.00 creates perfectly valid RIFF WAVE files!) 2.3) The largest file you can open depends upon how much RAM you have for Windows. If you plan to use 16-bit, stereo, 44100Hz CD quality, then you need 10 megabytes of RAM for every minute of sound. A 5 minute song requires 50 Megs. The amount of virtual memory you have makes no difference, since Windows refuses to use more virtual memory than RAM. GoldWave could load and play 100 Megabyte files if the OS allowed it. Maybe Windows 4.0 will... 2.4) The undo feature uses a temporary file. Make sure the TEMP envorinment variable specifies a drive large enough to hold several megabytes of data. Otherwise you may get undo messages (cannot write) for insufficient space. 2.5) If you are tired of the current colour scheme, add the following lines to the end of the GOLDWAVE.INI file in your WINDOWS directory (this file will be created when you first run and close GoldWave): [Colour] Start Marker=255, 255, 255 Finish Marker=255, 255, 255 Graph Background=0, 0, 128 Scope Background=0, 0, 128 Amplitude Scope=255, 255, 255 Spectral Scope=255, 255, 0 Scope Grid=0, 0, 0 The three values specify the intensities of red, green, and blue. They can be set to: 0, 128, or 255. The value 255 is the maximum intensity. To get light grey, set all three values to 192. Note that the colour of the markers depends upon the background colour. Make sure the colours you specify are visible (i.e. don't set background and scope colours to the same values) 2.6) Undo and colours were last minute additions. Please let me know if you encounter any problems. 2.7) In order to get the scope working correctly, you might have to change the positioning method in the Device Setup dialog box. The Estimate method is good for playback, but there is a small delay for recording to allow certain cards to transfer recorded data to RAM. 2.8) When using record looping, remember to turn it off when you want to do your final recording. -------------------------------------------------------------- 3.0 Shareware, Copyright & Distribution, Warrenty -------------------------------------------------------------- 3.1 Shareware ------------- GoldWave is a shareware program.
