true mono?

A lot of the work I do in Amadeus is digitizing old 45s. When digitizing mono vinyl I prefer to use both channels, partly because this gives me more options during the cleanup phase (e.g., it allows me to copy a good spot on one channel and simply paste it over a blemished spot in the corresponding ...

Where do I find the squared brackets "[]"?

.mp3 resaving = greater loss?

Scenario: I open an .mp3 in Amadeus, for a fairly extensive round of small edits. I intend for the finished file to also be in .mp3 mode. Question: If I save the file periodically, all the while keeping it in .mp3 mode, will I incur any more loss of data than if I were to open the .mp3, save (and re...

normalizing causes distortion

Hi, I had much the same problem with Normalize, until I discovered that the radio button at the bottom of the Normalize dialog should be set to Maximal Sample Value, rather than Maximal RMS Power. I'm not sure what the latter is supposed to do (nor how to work it, if I did), but I've found that by i...

a feature suggestion

Hi, I doubt this idea would generate a vast amount of usage, but it's something that could come in handy from time to time, and it seems like it might not be very hard to program. The idea is that following the application of any Normalize command, there be a way to access a reading of the pct. by w...

feature suggestion

I'm writing to suggest a feature for Martin to consider adding for a future version of Amadeus. As helpful as the three grey horizontal guidelines per channel are for most editing purposes, there are times when they are in the way, and obscure a delicate area being worked on. Thus, the suggestion is...

Enhancement suggestions: peak meter; insert file

Yes it will, but that would be the case any way you record it. What I meant is that the recording process itself will not, when recording digitally, introduce additional noise. --Phil M. bdkennedy1 wrote: So if the hiss from a tape or record already exists, it won't be boosted when I amplify the vol...

Looping

A workaround might be to create your loops each as a separate Amadeus file, with the looping repeats built into the file, extending beyond the length you would ultimately need. Upon pasting them into a single Amadeus file, they could then function as needed, and you could begin and end playback at a...
