Solved Replacement for WaveLab Lite.

[parsonm]

My old desktop running XP SP3 suddenly stopped working with simultaneous failure of the P/S and M/B. I was using Wavelab Lite to record from my collection of cassettes and LPs and it was all working OK.
I now have a new desktop from pcspecialist running 7 Home premium 64bit. I can get Wavelab Lite to run but when I ask it to save the track, it just shuts down without saving anything. I do like the way the audio recorder is presented with its colour horizontal bars ( not waveforms ) volume levels making it very easy to spot overloads etc. I have downloaded Audacity and AIMP2 but both appear to use waveform presentation to indicate the status, not db bar graph. Can anyone help with a suitable freebee (or low cost) alternative to WaveLab Lite that has a similar presentation.
Thanks

Try Goldwave I have been using it for 14 years on the same licence, great value and excellent program.

There are many free recording programs, including the popular Audacity program. Audacity will record and it has audio editing functions.

As Indianatone, I have a paid version of Goldwave audio editor/recorder program (I've had it for years).

Many thanks for your responses. I have tried WaveShop as suggested by NoN and it appears to have what I am looking for.
Thanks again.
