Re: saving the audio from a YouTube video

When I've saved YouTube files locally they have appeared as mp4 file extensions. Amadeus Pro can open and read in the audio from mp4 files. Embedded within that file will be an audio track; most commonly it is an AAC stream, but it can also be other formats (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP4_fil...

Re: Will Amadeus Pro move to Universal/Apple Silicon code?

Hi, just wanted to check... I finally moved over to Apple Silicon, and when I installed Amadeus Pro 2.8.13 it triggered an install of Rosetta 2. When I look at System Information > Applications it appears that Amadeus Pro is an Intel binary. Is that correct? It seems to run fine, not sluggish, so I'...

Thanks for all the advice. I have a gen 3 Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, and when I use Apple's Audio Midi Setup I can, indeed, select 44.1 kHz sampling. It seems to change what Amadeus Pro presents to me in the advanced preferences for that sound source: now instead of multiples of 48 kHz, it presents mul...

Hi Jim, Thank you for your detailed reply; it seems to confirm pretty much what my understanding of the process is. To address one point that you brought up: I use the RMS normalization rather than the peak normalization because very often there is a pop or click in the source LP that ends up being ...

Recording LPs with greater bit depth and higher sample rate

Hi, I recently bought a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 A-to-D interface to hopefully improve my workflow when converting vinyl LP's to digital files. The new interface sports 24 bit recording, and sample rates up to 192kHz. The primary benefit I was looking for was to not have to fiddle so much to get recor...

I use Toast 8 (works even under Snow Leopard) to record every LP to a CD. I make a CD for two reasons: one, I like a backup that is uncompressed. Two, when you import a CD into iTunes you stand a good chance of having it correctly recognize and label your tracks for you. So, open Toast. Select Audio...

I forgot to mention that if I am working on the second side of the LP I change the first marker to reflect one number higher than the number of cuts on the first side.

So if there were six cuts on side one, I make the marker read Marker 07 for the first cut of side two.

I do a lot of transfers from LP, and here is how I do it. I usually record a whole side of a record to one file. Then I save it to disk as an AIFF format file. I process it through ClickRepair, with settings Declick 30, Decrackle off, Automatic. Then I open up the cleaned up file in AP. First I set ...

Support for 24 bit recording in Amadeus Pro?

Hi Martin, I have an Early 2011 MacBook Pro, which according to System Profiler has Intel High Definition Audio chipset. According to what I find on the internet the Intel HDA system is capable of high sampling rates and larger than 16 bit data resolution. When I look in Preferences of Amadeus Pro I...

You're right

Martin, you're right about the OS... I have a Powerbook G4, and thus I'm still running 10.5.8 Leopard. I do use Spaces quite a bit, though, and I have not encountered this issue in any other situations. As I said, though, I do have a work-around; I just make it visible in every virtual desktop. I th...

Bug in the way Amadeus Pro interacts with Spaces?

Hi, I just wanted to mention that the program is very good, but the one problem I have with it has to do with the Mac OS X "Spaces" feature. Recall that Spaces allows you to have virtual desktops dedicated to different programs (set up in System Preferences under Spaces and Expose). Amadeu...
