Thanks, but I did say in my original question I installed from the App Store. In the meantime, realizing I was being fed mis-information, I did a clean install of Mountain Lion overnight (took 8.5 hours) and reinstalled Amadeus from the App Store. This time the manual IS appearing in the Help Menu c...

I've already done that, as I said in my original question. There was and is nothing in the Library's Applications Support folder related to Amadeus. I've just checked again and the only thing showing as Amadeus-related is a .plist in CrashReporter (Amadeus has the honor of being the first applicatio...

I get that message when I try to open the Amadeus Pro Manual via the Help menu, along with "Try erasing the content of the folder 'Amadeus Pro' located in your 'Library/Applications Support' folder". I can find no such folder. And according to Spotlight Search of the Library, there is no s...

[quote="cdjonah"]Not to be obvious but a sixteen bit number that is transferred to 32 bit will translate back exactly to the same 16-bit number. Why would you want to add noise? I don't want to add "add noise". Perhaps I'm not expressing my question properly. I'm just trying to u...

So in the circumstances above, if dither is applied to the faded Amadeus track prior to making a final save to AIFF, is the entire file dithered, or just the small section that was highlighted and faded?

Thanks for your patience.

Thank you for your replies, even though they do worry me. Please answer me this... Let's say for simplicity's sake I have opened a single, five-minute CD track in Amadeus. I then highlight the last five seconds and execute a standard fadeout for the length of the highlighted portion. I then save the...

Where is any of this in the manual? Are you saying that when I've done something as simple as edit out a click with smart edit, or faded out a track, I've ended up lowering the sound quality of the entire file? It seems what is being said is that any simple edit or fade of a CD file cannot be proper...

Thanks for the responses. I'm only editing files from standard commercial music CDs. I am editing mostly orchestral film soundtrack music, to eliminate unwanted sections and usually to create custom suites. I import the original CD files to my desktop and then save them via "Join Files" as...

An update on my initial post... it seems the fadeout is exactly as it should be when working on the Amadeus file, but when saving the final edit as an AIFF file, the fadeout shows the effect I mentioned, with the hiss becoming grainy as it fades out. This is all below normal listening levels and wou...

I notice that when fading out the trailing hiss at the end of a piece of music imported from CD (fading using either the fade out control or the volumes method), the hiss on the original recording becomes rougher and grittier as it fades out. The hiss being faded (especially towards the latter part ...

This will be very useful. Question now is... will I be able to use Amadeus with my iPad/Duet combination at some point?

Thanks. I haven't done any custom shortcuts, so this will be a good place to start.

... having to go to preferences each time.

It would be good if the Smart Editing crossfade length was quickly adjustable without having to go to Preferences each time. For example, when doing an edit, one could shorten or lengthen the crossfade and preview it with the different durations, perhaps with just a quick +/- key push, instead of go...

Thanks.
