WAVEdit - A WAV editor
First release
/Mic, 2002


Usage:

After starting the program you will be prompted for the name of a WAV file (the one
that you'd like to edit). If the file isn't in the current directory you have to
enter the full path.

Now you'll be presented with a list of commands; just press the associated key.


"Analyze file"

This command will do two things:

1) Calculate the length of the sound
2) Calculate the average volume


"Set an absolute avg. volume"

This command modifies the average volume. You'll be prompted for a value. You should 
enter a non-negative integer in the range 0-32767. Typical values are 1500-6000.
Values less than zero are "rounded up" to zero. 


"Adjust the volume by a given percentage"

Self-explainatory. Enter 25 and the volume will be reduced by 75%, enter 150 and the
volume will be increased by 50%.


"Apply fade-in"

Do a fade-in during the x first seconds of the sound. x should of course be less than
or equal to the length of the sound. The time needn't be an integer, i.e. you can
enter 2.5 to fade in during the first 2.5 seconds.


"Apply fade-out"

The opposite to fade-in. Will be applied at the end of the sound.


"Resample"

Resample the sound (i.e. change the sample frequency). There are seven sample rates to
chose from. Resampling is fairly slow in this version, and no inter/extrapolation is
done so the accuracy is pretty bad.


"Set resolution"

Change the sample resolution. Can be either 8 bits (unsigned) or 16 bits (signed).


"Set number of channels"

This command can be used to toggle between mono/stereo. There are three methods 
available for converting stereo sounds to mono; "Mix channels" is probably the desired
choise in most situations.


"Quit"

Self-explainatory.


If you chose something other than "Analyze" or "Quit" you'll be prompted for the name
of a file to store the result to. This can not be the same as the input file!
