User Reviews

  • This is an excellent recording program. It is of course not a full-blown DAW, but that's not the goal. I often need to record some sound, slightly edit it (cut, add silence, etc) and save as either a WAV file or MP3. Kwave allows this within a few clicks, without all the distractions and exotic knobs offered by more specialized programs. It's perfect!
  • Amazing job. Thanks all You Rock!
