NCH WavePad Masters Edition 6.59 Portable

Wavepad is a feature rich sound editor for Windows. You can record from audio inputs, like a microphone or a record player, import and edit sound files. It is good for making mixes, or digitizing vinyl. The range of options in WavePad basic - there is a commercial Masters version - is impressive. You can add effects, fades, split tracks, merge tracks, and much more. Performing all of these tasks is easy, and easy to undo if you make a mistake. Its certainly user friendly, and the fact you can import more or less any sound file format makes it incredibly accessible for anyone (theres no need to mess around with file conversion).
