Re: Cutting/pasting sounds without smoothing ends

Well, that was wayyyy to easy.

Sorry I missed that, and thanks.

Cutting/pasting sounds without smoothing ends

Amadeus seems to smooth the ends of any pasted audio, probably in an attempt to avoid pops. I don't want this; I want to be able to exactly specify the audio. For instance, I'd like to cut ten cycles of a sine and paste it into an area of silence, in order to test latency and response of some digita...

BTW, small bug: if you're playing an audio file with the "Loop playback" checkbox turned off, and you turn it on while the file is playing, it does NOT loop when it gets to the end. "Loop playback" seems to only matter at the moment when you start playback.


FYI,

Installed: thanks. I'll let you know if the problem still happens; I'll try to remember to let you know if it doesn't ;)

Sorry I haven't responded; the drives don't spin down for a while, and I only remember the problem when Amadeus freezes on start, which is too late to do the sample... I just did a sudo pmset -a disksleep 1 to speed up the spin-down process, but even with the drives confirmed spun down Amadeus start...

Delay on launch while external drive spins up?

I'm using the latest Amadeus, and have two external drives which I use for backup. The drives will spin down over time when they aren't used (and I don't use them a lot). Problem: when launching Amadeus with the drives spun down, the app will lock up for ten seconds while spinning up the drives. Ini...

Feature request: new Time Units of minutes:seconds:samples

Using the Time Units preference, I generally switch between minutes:seconds:ms and samples. I have to use samples when I'm doing sample-precise editing, but interpreting the up-to-eight-digit sample numbers is difficult. Audacity has a great minutes:seconds:samples display option; would you add it t...

Feature request: being able to zoom down to samples

I'm doing technical work where I have to set up a mix-minus between two audio files. To do so, I have to line up the two tracks to within a sample. This is easy in Audacity, where you can zoom until each sample is about five hundred pixels wide. In Amadeus, however, you can only zoom until samples a...
