Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Whether you are creating new music, copying songs from a CD or fixing songs in your library, this program does everything flawlessly. If you want to increase the volume on a song in your MP3 library to match others, it takes about 10 seconds. Want to use a drum fill from another song, just copy and paste. Want to shorten a guitar solo in a long MP3, just delete the boring part. Want to add or change a cover picture, point and click. It’s a marvelous, amazing program with 100 more features. I can’t give it enough recommendation. Try it and you’ll never look back.
I like the value for the price. It would be awkward once having spent a fortune to produce a similar recording, to see what this can do on a low budget. Because, this is impressive. Keeping in mind if you want to add this software to your studio, you have to know about connecting equipment, which will cost more. Always do your research before starting complicated projects. At least know enough you don't have to rely on the word of a salesman, since they aren't always right, while some of their input is helpful they might not understand your computer and setup. Otherwise, if you're just talking into the computer and recording your voice then you're primarily only concerned with knowing your computer and settings. If you're not very good with computers, you may require additional support on large projects.
I have used this for over a month now and, to sum it up, it's outstanding. I'm an amateur with sound editing software, however, WavePad does everything I need to do extremely easily with little to no instructions. That's the beauty of it for me. I didn't have to spend a lot of time learning all the nuances and intricacies of sound editing. It was like bang and go. If you even have a dime on the ball, it's all intuitive with the tabs and buttons, and just a bit trial and error (how I learn).
I cannot say enough. If you're looking for a great tool to easily edit, amplify, cut, paste, join, equalize, fade, etc. sound files, and you just want good sound without a lot of time investment, this is it.
Paid for a master version of Wavepad. Tried something new in effects and it crashed. Immediately got a notice that there was a fix to download that would solve the problem. Downloaded the fix and was told there would be an upgrade charge. Went through upgrade and found it was a free sample and didn't contain all the options I had with the masters edition. Bait and switch. Had a hard time getting back to original version and avoiding charges. Cheesy way of doing business. Like the daw but don't like scams. If this happens again, will go somewhere else. Did not purchase this through amazon, purchased directly through nch.
I hope they get this fix but they did good by me, and they gave me the code I was suppose to have after contacting them. it took some time and was kinda upsetting not knowing if they world come through but they did and I give them 5 star due to the software is good product and I due plan on getting more of there software in the near future. know it might be fixed by know but buy it directly from them and not through amazon or contact them first to see if the mater is fix with there key codes. if it did work out where you got stuck with wrong program contact them they will make it right.
I purchased WavePad on 8/20/18 and shortly after installation clicked on SHOW FULL Menu (icon) > HELP > CHECK FOR UPDATED VERSION. The update cost to the current version (v 7.12 to v 8.21) was significant. In the past, I have spent hours on the this website trying to find a way to provide feedback for similar purchase discrepancies as this and have never found a way to input feedback to this seller so it could correct obvious errors or updates required in its product selection webpages.
Love the software - I have used WavePad for years to edit snippets of audio, but taking a star off because Amazon and NCH need to work out the activation process. The activation code I received though Amazon was for a different product (Switch Sound File Converter - NOT WavePad). You use the activation code to get a registration code from NCH, but you don't know it is wrong until you get the email with the registration code back stating the wrong product name. At that point you are stuck-- that really stinks folks!!! In the end I downloaded Switch File Converter and used the registration code on that as I will probably get some use out of if, then I bought a WavePad license directly from NCH (which was $30 cheaper than through Amazon) and I had no issues with the activation and registration. My advice - skip Amazon and go directly to the NCH site (sorry Amazon, I usually love your services but feel really let down this time.)

Been using NCH Software for years. First your activation code isn't super tiny, it is regular print. All you have to do is copy and paste it to word doc. and save if needed (they also email it to you). Second there are free videos on their website showing you how to use all their products. As for me anytime I have asked for helped they have most times within a few hour of emailing helped me. You can pay for tech support (I didn't). All business get giving you Confirmation number which is the same as NCH code the reason is to prove your purchase if needed. I needed software to change pdf to jpeg, NCH was 1/3 the cost of Adobe.
