Thanks, Martin. That's good news; I hope Apple's algorithm does the trick!

In the meantime, anyone know of an Intel-compatible audio unit that lets you time stretch to a given duration?

Time-stretching with precision

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a method for precise time-stretching. Often I need to edit loops to last a certain number of milliseconds. Problem is, "Change Pitch and Speed" under Amadeus Pro's Effects menu works in increments. You can type in a target length, but the actual le...

Re: rm files with Amadeus?

I have looked and looked for a program that will change a .wav to a .rm file and have not been able to find one for the Mac. :shock: Gadzooks! You might be right. It really does look like there currently aren't any options for encoding to RealMedia on a Mac. It's been a couple years since I've enco...

Re: Spacebar Playback bug?

About 5-10% of the time, I press the space bar and it starts playback at the beginning of the waveform and I lose the place I was trying to fix. Then I have to start all over again finding the click or pop. This sounds possibly related to a bug I've previously reported. I continue to encounter the ...

An extra step or two is required if you want to record an application's audio with another application. Here are 4 possible solutions to your situation. Solution #1 is to physically connect your Mac's "headphones" jack to its "line in" jack with a 3.5 mm (eighth-inch) audio cord....

Eliminate unnecessary stereo channel?

(This may not be the source of your problem, but who knows?) Even with the excellent LAME algorithms used by Amadeus to encode MP3s, a bitrate as low as 32 kbps will result in some ugly artifacts if you're encoding in stereo. Recordings of lectures, of course, generally don't need a left and a right...

Re: Looping

To my knowledge there's no way to do this; the way Amadeus is designed, there's one playhead position per sound window, universal to all the tracks in it. The closest approximation I've found for situations like that is to open each track in its own window. Of course, this means there's no master pl...

Amadeus Pro's interface just took another couple small steps towards perfection.

As usual, I find myself impressed by Martin's prompt responsiveness to users' feedback. Kudos.

Re: Repairing pops in just one channel

1: Space bar always equals playback of all tracks, and double-click always starts playback of just the currently active track OR CHANNEL(S). That's the one I was planning to implement. Cool. That's the one that seems the most elegant / consistent to me. Unrelated note: Martin, working with your lat...

Sonic, THANK YOU 8) for pointing out ClickRepair -- I will give it a whirl and will add it to my arsenal if it works as well as it looks like it does. Dan, now I really see why you've chosen to stick with Amadeus II. A quick way to audition one channel of a stereo track is still missing in the Pro v...

Christmas has come early! Martin, you have no idea how much time you just saved this monkey. Thank you. I've tried out the fixed version and it's great. Seized by the spirit of Christmas and lord knows what lunacy, I've decided to digitize my parents' entire LP collection and load up an iPod for the...

I own Amadeus II too, so for comparison's sake, I restored a recording of another scratchy LP using its Repair Centre. There are pros and cons to both Amadeus II and Amadeus Pro as far as the Repair Centre is concerned. Both get the job done. Both ultimately require a combination of automatic search...

Repairing pops in just one channel

I'm removing cracks and pops from a recording of an LP. I'm doing it the slow way, finding each crack manually and using the "r" key, because as amazing as the Repair Centre window is, it doesn't catch all glitches, and doing it manually also allows me to select smaller regions to minimize...

Bypassing the "Markers" window

The nifty suggestion from matsgz eliminates any need to open the "Selection" window. Sweet. 8) Since constantly opening the "Markers" window is another thing that's been bumming you out, nbarman, I wanted to suggest that this too may be unnecessary. While the "Markers" ...
