WavePad overview

What is WavePad?

WavePad is an on-premise audio editing software designed to help music producers edit audio and music files using Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android devices. The application enables users to record, cut, copy, delete, and paste parts of audio files and add echo, noise reduction, amplification, reverb, reverse, and other effects via a unified portal.

WavePad lets musicians modify audio and music files in various formats including M4A, AAC, OGG, MP3, WAV, VOX, GSM, WMA, AU, FLAC, MID, real audio, and AMR. It offers a host of features such as normalization, equalizer, multiple sample rates, sound effects library, auto-trimming, file compression, spectral analysis, speech synthesis, voice changer, and more. Music composers can also apply effects or convert multiple files using batch processing functionality and scrub, search, and bookmark audios to streamline editing operations.

WavePad includes an audio restoration feature, which lets users remove noises and click pops from music. It also supports integration with DirectX, Virtual Studio Technology DLL plugin, and MixPad multitrack recording software.

Pros
“It also has some funny filters I use a lot like a robotic voice or the pitch-changer that allows me to lower the voice tones so all the voices sound enjoyable and not cringy.”
