But since 2004, GoldWave has evolved into a new era, changing from version 4 to 5, updating its visual aspect and introducing much more rich editing features and special effects, with the counter-effect of leaving old Windows versions compatibility such as 95, 98, 98SE obsolete (although GoldWave will still run on Windows 98SE, albeit unsupported) and render the software unusable on those systems.


All versions up to 4.26 can run on any Windows operating machine thus requiring a moderately fast computer to handle the program at it's best. It was first released to the public in April 1993, and is similar to applications like the open source Audacity, though offering powerful features at a very reasonable cost.Ī version prior to the version 5 series still exists for download at the official website.

GoldWave is a feature-rich commercial digital audio editing software developed by GoldWave Inc.
