What do you like best about WavePad?

Has an easy to relate with interface that does not require any professionalism to work with, basic knowledge is enough. Not only does it help in audio editing but you can also use it to voice record which is a very nice aspect while you are working with a voice auditing software.Another incredible aspect that I love about wave pad is that its compatible with several audio feed and input sources so whether you are using microphones or line in devices you you don’t have to worry while using wavepad. Its also provides with endless effects that help you in coming up with an incredible final file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
