I'm much more used to processing out ambient noise (a/c, fans, echo, etc.), but I did a quick pass on your file thru the NR and click/crackle functions in Izotope RX. Maybe with a more experienced hand/ear you can get the results you want:

Rich, I've run into the problem on interviews recorded in acoustically "live" rooms (conference rooms, hotels, etc.) and, you're right, there's no easy solution. Sometimes noise reduction can help as echo is part of the ambience. I've found the NR in Izotope RX works pretty well. Another t...

Martin,

Downloaded that build and threw a couple of projects at it which had given me trouble before …and so far so good. I'll keep an eye on things, but I think that solves my mystery crashes. Thanks again for your quick response.

Best,

Alan

For a few weeks now I've been experiencing sporadic - but frequent - crashes while working with a multi-track project in Amadeus Pro, something I've done with no problem for years now. It seems to occur most often when I'm sliding a file around to sync it with the other tracks, but sometimes it happ...

Just installed v2.06 and got the spinning beachball of death for just about any simple editing function from applying effects like normalize to cutting segments. Reinstalled 2.05 and all is fine. Not sure what the problem is, but it definitely affects my workflow. By "affects" I mean it st...

Since "upgrading" to Lion I've been running into lots of things not working. The latest is the SlimSlowSlider C3 MultiBand Compressor that has been working fine for me with Amadeus Pro under previous OS versions. However with Lion if I try to use the AU version of C3 it crashes Amadeus Pro...

Phil, I came up with my own clunkier version of what you describe, but without your ingenious addition of the keystrokes. Will definitely start using that. Eric, I certainly didn't mean to disparage hub-rocking - or dragging over the heads - when I called it an "old habit." I've worn out m...

I think Eric P's reference to "mag tape" means that what he's looking for is scrubbing the audio back and forth - like we used to jockey the tape reels back and forth - to whoop - poohw - whoop zero in on a particular sound. It's an old habit from tape editing that dies hard and in my expe...

John, I had the same problem too - in v2 when you drag a new file onto an open file a blue vertical line appears and the new file is inserted at that point instead of building a multitrack project. I asked Martin H about it and he explained that the previous behavior is still there - more or less. Y...

The volume envelope now displays the change in gain of the waveform, so when you draw a deep fade, for instance, the waveform reduces to barely a line. I found the previous behavior a lot more useful - when it did not change the display of the waveform until the envelope was applied to the file or s...

Thanks Martin for explaining what I'd missed: that if I drag the new file to the gray "handle" at the top of the waveform (the darker gray part with the track name, volume slider, etc) the + sign shows up but without the vertical line that indicates the drag would go into the original file...

Just getting started with the upgrade from 1.5 to 2 and so far I like almost everything about it. Am noticing one different behavior and want to figure out whether I'm doing something wrong. In AP 1.x dragging file "B" onto the waveform of open file "A" put the contents of "...

Well, short of getting intelligence agencies involved, here are a couple of things to try: De-Noising …if you haven't already discovered this, it's one of the choices in the "Effects" pull-down menu. A lot of the echo resides in the noise and reducing that can sometimes help. Experiment wi...

I do use a Zoom H4n as a backup. However, the results are far inferior to my primary. Not surprising, especially if you're using the built-in mics of the H4n. However, if you take a line out of the Apogee and go to the 1/4" line in jacks in the middle of the xlrs of the H4n I think you could g...

I know exactly the sinking feeling you are going through and really don't have any more suggestions to offer other than your experience (and my parallel ones) should be a warning not to rely on a single recording device when the job is critical - especially a device that is not a dedicated recorder....
