Not a long time ago I purchased Amadeus Pro. Now I see the first update of it, and it requires me to pay an additional 39 euro?!?! This is really an outrage! It's not an update - it's an upgrade. There's a difference. Updates address minor issues and bugs. Upgrades provide new facilities and a gene...

Exactly the same setup here - 10.6.7, Macbook Pro, and its .aif.

I don't see this change - every method of saving appended .aif - nor any setting to change this.

Quickeys is at http://startly.com/products/quickeys/mac/4/ It's $59.95 but well worth it if you have a lot of requirements for automation - it can do almost anything. There is a free trial and you should certainly use that to make sure it will do exactly what you want. It's quite a steep learning cu...

On my last post, Chuck kindly pointed me in the direction of Window > Playback Controller but is there any vertical or horizontal volume meters? With some sort of DB ref? Like the ones on a mixer in a DAW, or on most other Audio Editors? In the meantime you could look at ProLevel: http://www.katsur...

Thanks.

Using G4 iMac with 10.4.11. Offered update; downloaded, offered to apply. Clicked to apply: nothing happened. Downloaded latest version from website and replaced original (which is in the Applications folder). Still every time I open it I get an offer to update it, which doesn't work, and won't go a...

It may run on 10.5 but can it only be purchased from the App Store? - which requires 10.6.6 and will limit your market. The calibration display on the meter is good, and something we could really do with in APro, though I would like to see calibration marks along the meter as well. You say it's a VU...

Muck on the switch contacts, possibly.

Thanks for that very detailed and well-researched reply. It's an interesting can of worms, but you've de-wormed it by a significant amount. There is obviously never going to be a 100% archivally secure method; probably a good answer where possible is to have duplicates on a different method. The pro...

The higher the sampling rate and bit depth the smaller the errors in quantization - remember that every sample has to be approximated to the nearest step defined by the binary numbers. These errors basically take the form of noise - a sort of fizzing noise rather than clean hiss - but even with CD q...

The 100% error correction comes from the file system. Consider this: an error of a single byte to an application program file can convert the application from fully functional to fully nonfunctional. Nothing less than 100% error correction is acceptable for computer data file systems. If one does a...

It's the original file. Saving does not affect the open document. What's confused me is that if you make a recording and save it as fred.aif, close it and re-opoen it, and Save As fred.mp3, the window title changes to fred.mp3. A further oddity: create a recording with two tracks. Save it as fred.m...

First, CDDA, standard Red Book audio CD format, lacks 100% error correction (the player is instructed to interpolate or mute what it cannot correct), making CDDA a poor archival format choice. My understanding is that the error correction bits allow first-level errors to be corrected accurately: la...

With Amadeus once you convert a file, what is in the RAM is the converted version (other programs may differ) but since the conversion is saved as a separate file the original still exists and can be opened.
