Why is this called version 12.2 yet the version available for download that this key unlocks too is only version 7.8.2 please note their websites downloader uses a custom downloader that makes offers for third party programs before downloading the actual setup program and that setup program also tries to access the internet prior to proceding AND this installs an updater with it called goup.exe that runs on first execute that should be disabled or deleted to avoid losing the Giveaway license unless told otherwise by the vendor or GAOTD team! On their sites versions run of goup.exe I let it perform the update it wanted to do and rather than updating to a NEW version it updated from 7.8.2 to 7.8.1!!!! Needless to say I re-installed the original and won't be trusting goup.exe again!

Just installed the giveaway version 12.2.5 it is a much better behaved installer, no 3rd party offers and it permits customising the install and start menu folders so can co-exist with the official version from their website.

Appart from the version number reported in the version window and title bar I don't see any visual differences between 7.8.2 and 12.2.5 offered here the effects are the same too. This apears to be a single track editior with CD burner, ripper and eraser bundled with a text to speech tool but it uses a very old text to speech API so no modern high quality voices... It also does not apear to handle .mp4 .m4a audio format either. the main executable is unsigned but the ancillary CD utility executables are digitally signed as Tsingsoft Imagination Information Technology Co., Ltd. on 28 May 2011 so I guess those were bought in back then an have been untouched since.

This is taking about from one who has spent a good deal of time in recording studios, and have used programs from ProTools, to Sony Acid, to Audacity (there are times when it's an actually good program).

I downloaded it to my the program to my HP laptop.

After installing, the first thing I noticed (beyond the clunky look) was that it is an extreme uni-tasker (making me question the original price tag). It will record a file, but only a single pass... there is no multitrack recording or editing.

The effects are slightly better than Audacity, but again... slightly, and there are not as wide a range of effects. The noise reduction is can be overzealous (my first check on a noisy file, using the program's preset quite literally eliminated nearly the whole file)... All of the effects need to be used with great restraint (not a horrible fault, since that's standard practice... but in this case, you do not want to go in and just hit "reverb" without really listening to the preview or you are in the bottom of a pit).

It does save the files in WAV, as well as MP3, OGG and WMA... making it decent if your whole purpose is change formats from one audio type to another.

But that's the whole purpose of using it.

A $1.59 program, raised to a 159 price, given for free...

I've got enough audio editors... I don't see this one clunking up my system long.

The price tag must be a joke!

DLed and went to try. Looked like had good possibilities and options.

Sample rate????? How do I know what to selected from the 20 on list?.

after several reviews of tutorial on how to record from online source
got FILE ERROR when hit record

attempt 1: did see led bars go up -- but just a few bars as played.
Suggestion is to have a mid level, Speaker volume was set to 52 on laptop.
at 100 got up to 1/3rd of way

no indication that recorded anything

try 2, hit record, music not playing. X File Access Error
try 3, play on source, record button on SuperEZ, another red access error

Why is default folder NOT valid?

or why would it like to go to
C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\SuperEZ Wave Editor Pro\

Who would find there?

No settings to turn off automatic updates (and so loose GAOTD license)

attempt 4-8 no indication that recording. No waves on screen, Save and Save AS greyed out

SuperEZ - nope!
pro ??? I couldn't tell

had others in past (wish could remember) where one button to record, automatically saved.
