Ratings and Reviews
“Envelope” Function Works Sporadically by Design
I used this App for a year or so, and then with the last update, which was forced on my computer, the App oddly refuses to let you use the “envelope” unless you pay $99 now and then.. It seems to allow “Envelope” use randomly even though it does not say “Pro” version only on this function… which seems strange… it’s like in the early days of computers, people would put annoying “pause” functions on free software just to annoy people who don’t pay right away.

Great editing app, wish they had a personal version
I had some poor-quality recordings of some family members that I needed to clean up, and this app worked great! The feature where you can sample a snippet of audio and make a filter out of it is amazing -- my recordings had a lot of background noise, so I sampled the background noise and filtered that from the rest of the recording, and voices that were barely audible before are now incredibly clear.
I would absolutely pay for this feature, but the full app is way more powerful (and way too expensive) for my needs. Which is too bad.
Refreshingly simple and capable
It seems so rare to find an app that strikes just the right balance between offering the capability you need, but also being easy to use right off the bat. I wanted something simple for trimming and amplifying recordings of bird calls, something which can be surprisingly irritating to figure out in some complex audio editors, but in WavePad it was simple and intuitive. The automatic suggestions were helpful, even when not exactly what I wanted, in introducing relevant features. Very impressed.
