Fast Editing: NGWave uses a revolutionary internal storage format that makes most edits lightening fast. While other editors often take massive amounts of time to do something as simple as deleting a bit of silence, NGWave doesn't break a sweat. Basic Editing Functions: Of course NGWave supports your standard editing functions. You can select any portion of audio, and Copy, Cut, Paste Insert, Paste Replace, Paste Mix and Delete. Adding to this, however, most features give you the option to Fade Edges. This means that when you, for example, Mute a selected portion of audio, the edges will fade out and back in. This helps to avoid pops and clicks at the boundaries of an edit. The fade time is selectable. Realtime Preview: Unlike a lot of editors, you can preview most edits in realtime. For example, when you click the Reverb button, you can click on Preview to start playing back your selection. You can then change your parameters, and hear the results in realtime -- without having to stop playback! 32-Bit Internal Format: For a quality that is unmatched, NGWave utilizes a 32-Bit unbounded floating-point data format. This allows hundreds of decibels of headroom, so you will never have to worry about clipping. If an edit caused your audio to go above 0db, simply reduce the volume. NGWave does not actually clip your data until you choose to save the file -- and you can optionally have NGWave warn you if saving the file will result in clipping. File Formats Support: NGWave supports most WAV file formats. You can open, save, and create 8-, 16-, or 32-Bit integer files, as well as 32- and 64-Bit IEEE floating point formats. One or Two channels are supported (Mono or Stereo). NGWave also supports MP3 files, supporting virtually all bitrates. Processing Functions: Mute, Change Volume, Maximize Volume, 10 Band Graphic Equalizer, FFT Hi-Pass/Lo-Pass/Bandpass/Bandstop Filtering, Simple Echo, Full Echo Processor, Reverb Processor, Dynamic Compressor/Limiter, Distortion Processor, Noise Reduction, Cut, Copy, Paste Insert, Replace, Mix, and To New File, Delete, Crop to Selection, Trim Silence, Generate Silence, Generate Tones, Correct DC Offset, Convert to Stereo or Mono, Convert Sample Rate (resample). NGWave also supports unlimited Undo and Redo functions, as well as an Undo History window to quickly pinpoint the state you are looking for. Recording: NGWave of course supports Recording if your sound card supports this. The recording dialog lets you choose among your installed sound cards, and optionally displays a Recording Control Mixer for the selected card. If you have multiple sound cards installed, you know what a pain it can be to dig out the Windows mixer, select the appropriate card, choose the right controls, and get the levels right. With NGWave, it's all right there. Waveform Display: One of NGWave's strongest points is its Waveform Display. Unmatched anywhere, you can zoom to any arbitrary integral zoom ratio, and playback scrolling is smooth as silk on any modern video card. The colors are completely customizable -- choose from several predefined themes, or create your own! Crash Recovery: If NGWave exits prematurely for any reason -- Windows problems, power loss, or NGWave itself crashes -- NGWave will prompt to recover your session next time it starts up.
