Hi Tina. No, I have not heard of twisted wave, but I know almost all audio
editing is done visually and I know I would be a lot faster at it if I could
see. However, just like staring at levels versus listening to the sound in your
headphones. I find some sighted people making some big audio mistakes, probably
just by looking at wave forms as opposed to actually listening to the piece
they're cutting up.
If you get any more info on this program, please share.

You are right. It does take a lot of patience. I have friends who think I'm
nuts for doing it.
I'm just curious. Have you heard of Twisted Wave? I know sighted people who
love it, but I have the feeling that it's not accessible for us.

Hi. I have done voice-over work as well and I am a Goldwave user.
I am a former Sound Forge user but SF had too many bells and whistles for me. I
do all of my editing (and other folks as well) with Goldwave.
I used SF a long time ago (before they got bought by Soni) and I saw more and
more accessibility slipping away.
Once I found out about how Goldwave was really implementing accessible
features, and the fact that they seemed to actually care... I went with
Goldwave.
Just as an example. I had a sighted co-worker at the radio station who always
made these little grunts and groans after she would read a sentence. It was
very anoying to have to sift through every sentence and cut out these little
(sometimes erotic sounding sighs and moans) So, I don't think it really matters
what program your using as long as you're good at editing and you have the ear
and the patience to do it.
I don't really know if my reply is any help, but there it is anyway!
SF and Goldwave are great products. I'm not trying to start any kind of
debate...
Just saying I was a Sound Forge user many many years ago and I have been a
proud GW user too!
And, while reading this I have one more suggestion for those "editors" out
there. There is such a thing as over editing. Some people get too friendly with deleting,
and lose the rhythm of natural speech.
I recall listening to a "Main Menu" show a few years back where someone decided
to cut out all breaths and pauses, they made the presenter sound like a robot and it was
unlistenable.
So, just a heads-up!

Danny, there's no difference in editing capabilities between sound forge and
goldwave. As someone else has said, if you are picking up mouth noises and
noise from your braille display, perhaps hyou should think about swithcing to a
different microphone which might be lsee sensitive and have a different pickup
pattern. For example, a dynamic microphone with a cardioid pattern might help
in this situation.

Hi Tina. Thanks very much for this info.
Do you feel that SF is better than GW or are they pretty comparable?
Anybody else's thoughts on this would also be appreciated. Of course
buying SF would be a considerable outlay, but it is in the cause of
professional work, so I guess it depends whether there's a significant
advantage to it or not.
Also, as previously mentioned, I currently record my audio via the Sam
broadcasting encoders and simply edit in GoldWave. Is this advisable
or would it be better to simply do everything in an audio editing
package?

Hello Danny,
In order to receive the scripts for Sound Forge, send an email to Jim
Snowberger at:
[email protected]. He charges $30, and he's a great guy. Hope
this helps.

Hi Jamie. Thanks for your message.
I'm using a Shure SM58, which I understand to be one of the most
commonly-used all-purpose vocal mics. I plug my mic into a mixer
rather than using a USB mic ... do you have any better suggestions?
I do use a pop shield, so I don't have issues with plosives, but the
Braille display and mouth noises seem more evident than I expected.
Also, I wasn't aware that there were Jaws scripts for Sound Forge. I
used SF before I started with GoldWave many years ago and, generally,
I think GoldWave works just as well. However, if you can please
advise on how to obtain the scripts for SF it might be worth contemplating.
Many thanks, Danny

You could try Sound Forge and with the Jaws scripts you can use the
EQ, shift and pitch sliders Etc.
If you have some vision, Adobe Audition is very good also if it's
still available. Both these programs cost around $300 to $400 each.
Also look at the type of mike your using.

Subject: Editing Mouth Noise and Braille Display Clicks
Hello everyone. I wonder if anybody can please advise.
I currently record using a broadcasting encoder and edit my content
using GoldWave. However, I'm having significant issues with the
presence of mouth clicks and the constant sounds of my Braille
display as I move from line to line (or as the cursor flashes).
I find that GoldWave's editing options are generally too weak to
have any impact or too aggressive to leave a high-quality recording.
I currently have Depopper; could this be used to remove the issues
described above (and also the hiss of room ambience)? If so, any
advice on particular settings would be appreciated. If not, can
anybody please make any other suggestions?
Many thanks, Danny
