Well, take a look at the Goldwave site, and you'll soon see. Goldwave is
not just an add on, it is a complete product. Whether you need all its
bells and whistles is another thing, though.

between the two programs? This is appropriate since a lot of people have
Nero, and comes free with The Wave Editor, GoldWave is not free nor as
commonly installed.

Nero's Wave Editor will capture, Normalise, and export tracks, it has the
audio filters such as declicker and hiss removal, they are there on the
menu, but I'm not too sure how well they work compared. It even has
silence
detection. With correct operation I'm fairly sure it's perfectly adequate.
What does GoldWave have which is not there, and maybe needed. Nero's lacks
Midi to Wave conversion, but that's possible with Win.

Goldwave is obviously much more full featured - great if you need it.

I actually think Nero's Wave Editor is quite good; and up to the task of
converting LP's to CD, with the help of Nero Burning Rom.

thank you. so the stand alone DVD recorders are basically utilized to
record video, movies, etc, and thats all they are designed for?

I would definitely use the computer for converting the LPs and
cassettes. Using a DVD Recorder would just add an extra step and the
computer will give you more options for adjusting the input level of
the audio to get the best copy. Get a sound editor program like
GoldWave as it will give you more options than the sound recorder that
comes with Windows.

For video, I've been using a Panasonic VCR/DVD Recorder combo. I can't
compare it to other DVD Recorders or combo units since it is the only
DVDR I have ever used, but I have been very pleased with the results.

I've never used Nero so don't know how it compares to GoldWave.
However, it sounds like it has everything you would need. And it might
be easier if you are already familiar with it.

You can download a free trial of GoldWave though if you want to try it
out.

Well said. And that is the real point.
