Exactly. That's much more likely to give satisfactory results.

There can be no guarantees about this - just think what things were like 30 years ago - but the safest formats would be the most common - WAV and Audio CD. AIFF is more specialized; you should never archive in a compressed format; and with all due respect to Martin, Amadeus format would be a poor ch...

From your description the hum is in the headphone output circuitry (if it was a ground loop it would disappear when your ran the laptop on battery) and you are unlikely to be able to get rid of it. Does your hi-fi not have tape output RCA (phono) sockets? - this would be a better place to connect. I...

Updated and now works fine: thanks.

I updated to 1.5.3 on a 1.25GHz PPC G4 running 10.4.11. Zoom will not work (either direction) bringing up the error:

*** -[NSScrollView conrtPointFromBase:] selector not recognized [self = 0x7ec7160]

Reverted to 1.5.2 - all OK. 1.5.3 on an Intel iMac works OK.

2) is it possible to select the area between two markers by double-clicking it?
No, but you can click anywhere there and then hit command-left arrow followed
by command-right arrow.
The OP's method of alt-doubleclick works a treat and is (slightly) quicker.

If your marker starts with a number, that will be incremented for the next marker: any text will be repeated. The contents of a new marker are highlighted so will be deleted and replaced as soon as you start typing something new.

An ordinary BlueTooth keyboard can be used to control Amadeus - once set to go, just hit the space bar to start the recording, again to pause it or return to stop it. I don't think you'll find any wireless device which is both a microphone and a control unit.

You may have damaged the file referenced in the crash report, which is within the application itself. You should delete the application and download it afresh:

As far as I know Amadeus Pro does not handle swf (Flash) files.

He should do any recording and editing in WAV first, and only compress to mp3 last thing before he sends. It's worth keeping the number of times you compress to the minimum.

If you stick to a reasonably high bitrate - minimum 192kb/s for speech or 256kb/s for music (stereo assumed) - the degradation in quality will be pretty slight and is unlikely to bother most people. You probably might as well go for the highest available - 320kb/s in Amadeus - as this still produces...

I believe this interface requires a driver: you could check that you have the most up-to-date one. Another test you could try is to open the Quicktime X player and choose New Audio Recording from the File menu. See if you can select your interface using the small down-arrow on the right. If you can'...

The setting is at Amadeus Pro Preferences>Sound>Input. The System Preferences and Audio-Midi setup settings are irrrelevant. Press the Record button to enable recording (check 'Playthrough' to hear the input as well as see it in the meter): hit the spacebar to start recording, press Return to stop r...

'Equalizer' from Brian Davies:

can correctly convert from RIAA (the microgroove standard) - including at the wrong speed - to a specified 78rpm EQ. See page 11 of the manual. It's free.

Just use 'Convert track to mono'.
