It depends what you are trying to do.  I can't quite tell if you are trying to get a multi-instrument mix into shape or make two different recordings that you are splicing end to end (though on different tracks) play at similar volumes.  First - are these tracks you are recording of the same instr...

Bryan -  Good to hear it was a simple fix!   For simple voice recording, I think you are not going to find a discernible difference (or even a measurable one) between USB and higher bandwidth options. The Firewire/Thunderbolt options really are designed for extensive multitrack data.  There's jus...

Did the audio show up when you were using Protools? And the only thing you've changed is switching to Amadeus? I know of others (with a variety of DAW choices) who had trouble getting audio in through a Firewire->Thunderbolt adapter, but if it was working before, then I'm not sure why it wouldn't sh...

If you mean you are only seeing the system internal microphone, then it depends how your external microphone is attached. Most iMacs models do not have an audio input jack.  Current best practice for recording is to use a quality A/D (Analog to Digital) converter which connects via the USB port and...

Definitely does not behave that way for me - I have no other suggestions, unless there's some way you have those tracks linked to one another.  Jim Edgar jimedgarvoices.com -  @jimedgarvoices justaskjimvo.studio  - @justaskjimvo On Tue, Jul 5, 2016 at 2:06 PM, vannuysd <forum2mail@hairersoft.com ...

Have you tried just selecting the audio within the track? In other words, click into the track and then use Command-A to select all the audio.   Any effect will generally be "global" unless you specify a selection of the audio. Jim Edgar jimedgarvoices.com -  @jimedgarvoices justaskjimvo...

It would be helpful to know which USB interface.  Have had no such issue with FocusRite A/D or Rode USB mic. When you say you've checked option for input/output - was that inside Amadeus only?  There are really three places you can lose the audio: System Prefs,  Inside the Program (Amadeus Pro) a...

In the Manual - recommendation is to use the OSX system keyboard mapping.   I put <SHIFT><OPTION>A on that years ago - works like a charm.  Generally find that keyboard is a bit quicker than onscreen buttons. But, yes - programmable buttons for the toolbar might be pretty nice.   Jim Edgar jimedg...

Normalise can be thought of as a "targeted" Amplify.  You are setting a specific level (e.g. -3 dB) and aspect to be targeted (typically the PEAK, but you can also set Normalization with RMS type values).   So, if you set a Peak Normalize of -3 dB, your audio (or the selected audio) woul...

Normalise would not be the best approach.  Take a look at the AU Dynamics Processor.  You are really looking for a Compression type function.  You want it to begin acting at a certain dB level, and apply itself more forcefully as sound volume increases.  The preset Fast and Smooth would give tha...

ACX specifies recording/mastered levels to fall between -23 and -18 RMS Average.

Martin - I was just noticing that with the Normalization command in AP, you can either Normalize using the Maximal Sample Value (dB PEAK) or by using Maximal RMS Power.  In other Normalization utilities I've used, the RMS Normalization function uses the RMS Average - which I've found to be a much m...

Rogue Amoeba just released Loopback which looks really solid.   http://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/ I've also used JackPilot, though it's less well documented. - J Jim Edgar jimedgarvoices@gmail.com ( jimedgarvoices@gmail.com ) - @jimedgarvoices http://www.jimedgarvoices.com   -  http://about.me/jim...

Is there any separate setup dialog for the device itself?  With trackpads or tablets, you can set up certain zones to generate keyboard equivalents, for example.  I'd suspect it's a two-step dance - first setting up the pedal to generate specific actions at the OS level, then linking those actions...
