Double-click the “Goldwave” desktop icon or click “Start,” “Programs” and “Goldwave.”
Click on the sound file you want to loop, for example “Lead Vocals” or “Electric Bass.” Goldwave only lets you loop single audio files at a time. However, when editing audio, this is typically the preferable method.
Left-click on the sound file graphic to create a start-point. The sound file graphic comprises a series of peaks and flat-lines that represent loud and quiet volumes respectively. If necessary, hit “Play” first to listen to the track to find the place in the song where you want to create the loop. Watch the sound file as the song plays and follow the peaks. Typically a large peak following a flat-line represents the start of a note.
Right-click on the sound file to create an end-point. The loop can be as long or as short as you like, but it’s preferable to work with shorter loops so you can focus on one manageable segment of audio at a time. Very long loops defeat the purpose of looping.
Click “Properties” on the “Device Control” window and click the “Play” tab. This opens a dialog box.
Check the box next to “Loop” in the dialog box. Enter the amount of loops you want.
Hit “Play” in the navigation control section to hear the loop.
