Need Help with Using the Goldwave audio editing program

Highly specialized: is anyone familiar with the audio program GOLDWAVE?

It's a powerful audio processing program, but I am having trouble understanding some of the instructions on applying the effects across many multiple files.

If you know anything about the program, please let me hear from you!

Merete! I was wondering if you were still around! Thanks for replying to my question, which provoked me to say "Well, duh!" to MYSELF. Checking on YouTube is something that should have occurred to me immediately. Too many projects going on at once for only one brain, I guess.

Specifically, what I'm trying to do is :

(1) Use Goldwave's Batch Processing option to set all mp3 files to the same volume level

(2) Trim silence off the start of the same mp3s.

I've been told by the help department at Goldwave (who I have written to as well, again) that I can add the trim silence function to the SAME "command" function as setting the volume level to it's the same on all the iles, which seems amazing to me.

FYI, it is a free download and does SOME of many functions (I think including these) up to a point, at which time you have to pop for the paid version, which I did a year or so ago.
Hello George yes I'm still around, not as often :)
George this will help you, sorry I'm not that familiar with the cmd line  I do know of it.
You say you wrote to them? Probably the wrong crowd they only help with buying.. I find the best place is to use the forums with Cyberlink or in your case Goldwave, join them.
Re: Command line batch processing with a second file
Merete--

I must have been just overworked. All your suggestions should have been obvious. Thanks to your suggestions, I looked around and wound up contacting an audio expert who spent a couple of hours explaining how to do it. It WAS complicated even though  the concept sounded quite simple.

Thanks--see you around!
Thankyou George, glad to have helped you a little bit, sometimes we just need a pointer.
Technology in multimedia editing has advanced and at the same time has become quite complex.
Trying to learn how to use the tools is the first hurdle.
All the best
