Wave Corrector
Amersham, United Kingdom
What it is
Wave Corrector is a standalone program for recording analogue music, reducing noise, and converting recordings into digital audio. Its processing can remove surface sounds such as clicks, ticks, and plops, and it includes a hiss-removal option for tapes. Users can record directly or schedule unattended recordings, including radio broadcasts. The program can divide recordings into numbered tracks automatically, then lets users adjust track boundaries and add fades. Professional Edition includes filters, a graphic equaliser, volume normalisation, channel balance, and Cut and Splice. Version 3.9 includes built-in MP3 encoding and uses Discogs track durations to guide and validate track detection; it can use MusicBrainz durations when Discogs has none. Downloads are offered for Professional Edition 3.9 in 64-bit and 32-bit versions, while Standard Edition is no longer available. The personal-use Professional Edition costs nothing, and registration is not required. Wave Corrector runs on Linux and Windows and is intended for home music lovers and professional archivists. Support resources include a beginner's guide, FAQ, forum, manual, and feedback form.
