    I have a rocketfish USB microphone which is supposed to recognize any OS Win5+ automatically. Goldwave instantly recognizes my microphone. I normally talk in it, delete some tracks by highlighting and punching del button. Then I can raise the volume and it sounds better over the decimal level on Mediacoder. I use it for every podcast. I don't know how to override the internal vorbis encoder, only Aotuv b5 of 10/2006.

    Highly functional program, works with many common sound formats, is worth every penny paid. Very intuitive interface, you will not be disappointed.

    Simply the best editor, period.
    Been using it for years and it's always "just worked".

    A pleasure to use, stable, and so much functionality in such a small package. Attributes that are all too rare these days.
