![]() ![]() I am an elderly non-techy grandma, and it is becoming more and more difficult for me to learn and use new programs these days. ![]() Not a good idea to multi-task while recording If you are not into recording live speeches I would recommend Wavepad with much gusto, however its quirks make it a sometimes unreliable program where mission-critical reliability is needed. One would think that if Wavepad possess automatic backup then this is no big deal, however forcing wavepad to quit and restoring the backup will not always restore any unsaved audio this means (for my purposes) that valuable historical audio can be lost since live speeches can not simply be re-recorded. Now the next shortcoming is that WavePad freezes occassionally, becoming unresponsive. For my purpose (recording live audio speeches and seperating these into files) this is a terrible drawback maybe even a deal-breaker. If you attempt to do anything while it is recording audio, the recording will immediately stop this includes trying to do things like delete parts of the live recording, clicking on the window of another audio file, or accessing any menu at all. However despite the excellent interface design it possesses a few shortcomings that quickly can make it aggravating for certain tasks.The first shortcoming is that it is essentially a single-tasking audio program. It has a well-implemented 'Ribbon' style interface, easy-to-understand controls, and a Tabbed interface that also uses floating windows. Wavepad has one of the nicest looking interfaces i've seen in an audio editing program. He has no connection with the above company and has not been paid for this review. He is a post-graduate in Special Educational Need teaching and qualified music technologist. Odd JonathanOdd Jonathan (Jonathan R P Taylor) is a British singer/songwriter & novelist. A user option to return to the 'Classic' colour scheme or alternate schemes of choice (suitable for the blind and/or partially sighted) would make this product/s - unbeatable!Congratulations to you all at NCH – keep up the good work! The latest version of Mix Pad has adopted a darker colour scheme – and in this latest version, I find it very hard to distinguish, when for example the track solo button is depressed or not. I would have but one recommendation for the team at NCH. I would never switch to a different brand: quite simply put - NCH packages are so easy to use!So: it's hard to imagine how the product/s could be improved. NCH has made huge strides in offering the perfect user-friendly product that stands out as the market leader in SLD provision. #WAVEPAD SOUND EDITOR REVIEWS SOFTWARE#Dyslexia is brain damage, it cannot be cured, and my poor short-term-memory holds the biggest obstacle to software usage. I almost feel as if the company designed these products specifically with me and my difficulties in mind.If granny's dementia could be cured by a simple note: don't forget to turn off the cooker – then the world would be a better place. The power and ease of the mouse across the interface could not have been made easier for me. Import, cut, paste and drag, with the simplicity of fade points is another major success of these products: long gone is the clumsy cumbersome fiddling needed of other rivals. Very rarely have I found the desire to wander from what I find to be perfection. If you are not an accomplished producer: FX's, add-ons and a host of presets are set to meet an immediate need. NCH offers the most user-friendly interface I have ever encountered! The success of Mix Pad and its integrated companion Wave Pad lie in its visual simplicity, overall logical layout and menus that are easily understood. I'll explain why…It's hard to know if the companies original approach was to develop the ideal package for those of us with SLD/dyslexia (and its associated problems) – or whether it was merely a freak of software evolution, but they have certainly hit the nail on the head. #WAVEPAD SOUND EDITOR REVIEWS PROFESSIONAL#But: beyond professional and home usage for intended purpose NCH have devolved a wide range of software packages that are perfectly suited to those of us with special needs. It is a formidable equal to all of those other better-known brands. If you are in the business of sound production it is hard to argue that NCH doesn't offer you exactly what it says on the tin. Disability matters: NCH offers the most user-friendly interface I have ever.ĭisability matters: NCH offers the most user-friendly interface I have ever encountered!There are a host of solid reliable sound processing software options available on the market today: both Wave Pad and Mix Pad (and for would be musicians who need that accompanying video: Video Pad) – provide exactly what all those others do. ![]()
