Check if stereo is really dual mono
A simpler and quicker method would be 1 Effects>Stereo Utilities>invertPhase 2 Sound>Convert Track to Mono When the track was double mono you hear nothing. When the track was stereo, you have an instant karaoke version. With no singer left in the middle. Have fun Gerard Flatten Document changes noth...

Check if stereo is really dual mono
Just a minute, in step 3 I think you mean Convert Track to Mono. Flatten Document changes nothing. Gerard I have a stereo file that I suspect is really dual mono. How can I confirm that? With other software? So far I'm doing this: 1. split track 2. invert phase of one 3. flatten document It's rather...

Check if stereo is really dual mono
Looks fine to me. With a short selection it shouldn't take long. Maybe automate the procedure into a batch processor? Gerard I have a stereo file that I suspect is really dual mono. How can I confirm that? With other software? So far I'm doing this: 1. split track 2. invert phase of one 3. flatten d...

Adding contents to an existing project
Clever workaround, Thomas. Pasting inserts the new sound at the insertion point - or - when a selection is present the new sound will replace the selection. Does it work differently with you? Gerard Hi! I ran into trouble this evening when I needed to add something from another file to an existing p...

Important recording ruined!?!
Martin Hairer just saved my butt! ...he waved his magic wand .... Wow, that must be a relief. O, Great Martin, modern magician of digital audio, can you explain what happened? That we may all learn?

HELP! getting started with mac after using windows for years
Thanks Martin, got Freeverb working again. I just followed the manual to install it "by dragging the corresponding file into the appropriate subfolder (Components for Audio Units and VST for VST effects) of your 'Library/Audio/Plug-Ins' folder." ;-) Gerard For the record, there is an Audio...

HELP! getting started with mac after using windows for years
Chuck, I think you are right. FreeVerb was very good while it worked. Anyone interested in experimenting with reverb should check uit the demo of QuikQuak RaySpace. Gerard My vague recollection is that freeverb is an "old-style" VST plugin and doesn't work on more modern VST systems. There...

Nasty Buzz when burning CD in Toast
Could the buzz be distortion? The sound somehow becoming too loud in Toast? Gerard No, everything is aif all along the line. -- ______________________ _ Gerard Bik grafische vormgeving Van Aerssenstraat 263 2582 JM Den Haag 070 3554081 Website: http://www.biknewz.nl IEDP gecertificeerd _____________...

Muffled sound
Great that you found it! I knew it had to be something like one program or another reacting wrongly. Sorry to hear about your hearing problems. When listening through private headphones, can't you create an equalizer setting to provide the same correction as the hearing aids? It would eliminate one ...

Muffled sound
Keep in mind, the reason for this exercise was to look for the cause of the muffling effect. One way is to record the same track twice. Another is to record the same track in different ways. Use the three ways you mention to get three copies of the same track and try to find differences. When differ...

Muffled sound
Copies of the same digital file should be exact duplicates. (You just proved that!) The procedure is correct, except that I would digitize the same track twice. That way the complete chain from vinyl to mp3 is used twice. When the sound muffling is caused by erratic behaviour of any component, the t...

Muffled sound
Very strange. This calls for some detective work. My first test would be to import the same track twice and look for differences. Amadeus can do that for you when you invert one track and past it over the other. If they are exact copies, they cancel out each other, if they differ, the sound that is ...

Mouse turns into a "+"
Hi Jon, did you notice sometimes an extra letter appears next to the +? Something like an L or an R, all very confusing... ;-) LOL Gerard ..when it's over a sound file. This makes it really hard to find. Is there any way you could work on this? Btw nice app like I told you before. Best Jon _________...

Mix and apply a fade out / fade in on the original track
Hi Emrah The Amplify command in the Effects menu should do the trick. It has a Fade checkbox where you can specify the length of the fade. So attenuation level and fade time are controllable from 1 dialog. Using seperate tracks for voice and music would be more flexible. But I am afraid also more vi...

Monitoring through headphones problem
Look for the "Playthrough" checkbox on the "Recording dialog" Gerard Hi- I've recently purchased Amadeus Pro to replace (cringe) Garage Band. Actually it's not that bad... I'm a narrator and I'm having troubles getting any sound out of my headphone monitors while I record. Playba...
