- 2.0 Important Additional Notes
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 2.1) GoldWave v2.00 requires a 386 or better processor. 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.
