Normalizing an audio file is similar to amplifying, except that normalizing increases the sound of the loudest peak to the maximum level without causing clipping in digital audio. Moving a point up will make the frequency stronger and moving a point down will make it weaker. This gives you very finite control of the frequency ranges you want to control. The Equalizer is also on the Effects tab and opens a graph of the frequencies going from low to high frequencies as you move left to right. Selecting 200% will double the volume, 50% will cut the volume in half.Īmplifying affects the full spectrum of the audio in a file, but if you want to increase or decrease certain frequencies, for example, boosting all of the lower bass frequencies, then you want to use the Equalizer.

You will find Amplify on the Effects tab, which will open a window where you can either adjust the amplification using the slider or by selecting a preset level from the drop-down menu. To make the audio sound louder, instead of simply turning the volume control up you want to amplify the file.

Additional audio splitting options include splitting at bookmarks, splitting at silences and similar Trim options that delete sections instead of creating new audio files.

Be careful when you use this function, the action cannot be undone. This will create two audio files split at the point you had the cursor. You can split a file at any point you choose by simply clicking the Split button on the Edit tab. Another great way for those new to audio editing to get started is by watching the WavePad sound editor intro video tutorials so you can see the audio editor in action. Below you will find a compilation of some of the audio effects and sound editing basics for the WavePad audio editor that you will want to know and test out for yourself as you delve into the world of audio editing.
