GoldWave is a professional audio editor. It will be useful not only for simple recordings, but for more sophisticated processes as well.

This tool has the basic commands for editing audio. It also includes a large number of effects, such as applying voice-over, adjusting low or high sounds and carrying out cleaning through filters (eliminate noise, hissing, buzz, etc.)

GoldWave also includes utilities to carry out copies, join files or split audio into smaller pieces. With this application you’ll be able to preview the process and problems that appear during the recording in real-time.

Finally, in GoldWave you’ll have access to configuring the work options to make the task easier. You’ll also be able to change the playback speed and record the tracks without having to worry about the source from which they come.
