How to take a bad recording and making it better?

You have taken up some task... (Ah, the horrible squeaking tripod.) In my experience (improving video recordings of a play) there is very little that you can automate. I tried different compressor settings, that helped sometimes. Finally I decided to do it by hand. You won't get a perfect recording,...

deleting audio with the keyboard

Hi Paul Here is the way I would do this. When you are done creating the second marker and the play head is past it, stop playback and hit option + left arrow. This will put the play head at the nearest marker to the left (which is your marker #2). Then hit command + left arrow. This selects everythi...

Recording to two different channels

Hello Braden Is it possible to mix the two mics to left and right in a hardware mixer and send that mix to the input? In AmadeusPro you would have one stereo track with seperate left and a right voices. Gerard Hello, I'm trying to record some simple podcasts using AmadeusPro but I need to have two m...

1. Generating playlists (heaton5@cox.net)

When Martin's clever super recipe scares you, here is an alternative. Split the songs according to markers and import them into iTunes. iTunes has an option to print playlists in different templates. And burns cd's. Before Amadeus could burn, I made several cd's this way. Gerard -- To be without som...

how to extarct autofocus motor noise from audio file

In this wonderful digital age you can use two independent camera's or a camera and a digital soundrecorder and sync the sound afterwards in iMovie or another editor. Even 90 minute recording show up perfectly in sync from start to finish. Probably has to do with timecode or something. Coming from th...

How (or can) you drag the phayback head?

OK, just out of curiosity: How many people have spliced tape (other than as an historical excercise)? Raise your hands. It must be buried in some drawer, I did have a tape splicer. Mostly made tape loops with it. Never been a professional editor. Gerard _____________________________________________...

Greetings from Estonia

You might use the Actions palette and make those actions Favorites. After that it takes only one click.

Better Automation

In the old days before OSX, I used to have great fun with a program called QuicKeys. It did just what you describe: record any sequence of actions in any program. Maybe something like that still exists. Gerard I really needed this feature: I needed a process that would remember menu selections, then...

Muffling a sound

Hi Sarah, it is quite easy to remember. The low pass filter lets the low pass through. So it muffles the high. mustbejones: in addition to the low pass filter you might add a little reverb or echo to suggest the sound is coming from far away. Experiment on a copy of your sound! That's what Amadeus i...

1000 milliseconds make one second. 1 millisecond is 0.001 seconds. Yes, I am trying to create a pseudo-loop. But it must have some dead space in it to line up with some animation that I am doing.
