Almost really useful, but so. many. bugs!
I've come to AP looking for the perfect tool to archive vinyl LPs. I've used Sound Studio in the past, which was great, but nowadays it seems AP is better rated, and I no longer have Sound Studio.
AP is fine up to a point, but there are so many bugs it's just not reliable right now. I'm hoping someone can help with some workarounds??
I'm using a G5 Power Mac DP 2.3, and OS 10.5.2.
1) Trying to use the BIAS Sound Soap II plug in. The VST version crashes AP. The AU version appears to load, but the controls can't be moved - the GUI appears 'stuck'. This plug works fine in Logic 7.2 on the same machine.
2) Often no sound is obtained when 'playthrough' is checked. When the machine is restarted, it works. So I suspect this is not a problem just with AP, although again other audio apps (I have Logic and Cubase 4) work fine with the same hardware (I use Edirol FA-101 for output).
3) Sometimes AP refuses to record. That is, I start AP, click the record button, but the counter stays at 00'00"000 - nothing happens.
It's a shame, but it's just not reliable enough for me! Although it's not expensive relative to other audio software, right now I do regret paying for it!!!
Sorry to say this!

Hi Greg,
on SoundSoap seemed to indicate that the AU version works fine...
reproduce that. Do you get any error message in the system console
when this happens? Also, does it work if you create an aggregate
device from the FA-101 and use that one instead?
Regards,
Martin

Which version of Amadeus Pro is that? The user feedback I had so far1) Trying to use the BIAS Sound Soap II plug in. The VST version
crashes AP. The AU version appears to load, but the controls can't
be moved - the GUI appears 'stuck'. This plug works fine in Logic
7.2 on the same machine.

Strange. I don't have access to a FA-101 for testing, so I cannot2) Often no sound is obtained when 'playthrough' is checked. When

Did you use the au version rather than the vst?

Will go to another thread to discuss Denoising, but I also found that SoundSoap 1 crashes AP. The demo of SoundSoap Pro doesn't crash it.

Try the au section of the effects. It should be there.

--Got a direct mail saying that the VST was known not to work and to try the AU.
How do I do that?
When I installed SoundSoap, it said the installation was finished and left it at that. I only seem to have a plug-in.
