GoldWave was created by Chris Craig, who first released the software in 1993 to give users a powerful yet easy way to record and edit audio. Today, the GoldWave Editor is a browser-based audio editor that lets you record, edit, enhance, restore, and convert audio directly on your device without uploading files to remote servers. Users like its clean workflow, wide range of built-in effects, support for many audio formats, and the fact that it works across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS through a web browser. GoldWave offers a free evaluation version, while paid plans include a 1-year license.
