## Reviews

### "NCH WavePad sound editor" — 4.0/5

> **Andy** | *12 September 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The best think I like is that I can download a video and upload it into WavePad, you can then edit the sound only and save it as an MP3. The sound can be modified easily with the array of available tools although I tend to only increase or decrease the volume level rather than compress, expand or filter out particular tones. WavePad is a great compliment to its sister package VideoPad and the two can make great videos with superb sound effects.
> 
> **Cons**: My only problem is the editing is slightly different to how VideoPad works and you can trip yourself up in the way of cutting and pasting.
> 
> Overall very happy particularly the one time life time payment. I've been using it for decades, still use today and use it for sounds or music that you can download from the library or sounds or music that I've created or downloaded myself.

### "Solid and intuitive" — 5.0/5

> **B** | *7 July 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: IMO, The best software is the kind you can open up and intuitively know what to do. I also like when I have been using software intuitively for some time and then seek out a quick training and it opens up a vast amount of bells and whistles to add to my experience. This is what WavePad has been for me. I cut and splice audio files, convert them and normalize them if I'm using several files in one project.
> 
> **Cons**: I'm not an audiophile, so when saving a new or edited sound file, the options for different Sample Rates or MgHz don't mean a lot to me. Yes, I can go elsewhere for recommendations, but having this software tell me "the recent files you've been working with are X" would be a pretty cool feature. It feels the world is moving this way.
> 
> I love this software. I've been using it for close to 20 years for various projects. It has a wide bevy of files to convert or save to, including Wav, Flac, Mp3 and M4a. The simple, yet effective visual of the sound makes cutting and splicing a breeze.

### "Amazing Audio Editing Functionality all for $$Free$$" — 5.0/5

> **Trevor** | *31 December 2024* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: FREE\!\!\!\!  You can't loose.  Having said that...the features are intense and robust.  The versatility is insane.
> 
> **Cons**: No VST.  Which isn't a complete disappointment.  If you are running a hi end recording software you really have no need for this App.  But the app is great for those quick edits or conversion where you don't want to open your larger multitrack recording software.
> 
> I use this for quick edits.  Or format conversions where you have no need for multitrack functions.  One file edit/fix/convert and move on.

### "good audio editor for people who want something low cost and easy to get started with" — 4.0/5

> **Malith** | *11 November 2024* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: i like the amount of features that wavepad has and i like that it has a free version
> 
> **Cons**: the user interface looks slightly dated and wavepad could benefit from a built in mastering suits

>

>
