Hi Martin, thanks a lot for your response. Sorry, I didn't think to check the Console before (I'm not very IT minded). But now that you mention it, no it doesn't show anything happening at all; Amadeus merrily "plays" along, i.e. the blue play head creeps across and the time indicator runs...

Amadeus (Lite) just won't play ball (or music files!)

With an old iMac running Mavericks, I've always had problems coaxing Amadeus Lite to play back sound I can hear. He really prefers to 'play back' in total silence. Today, I've just spend a good hour wrestling with the problem and got nowhere - it's really frustrating! The thing is, I must use blueto...

Hi Martin, thanks for your reply. Yes, I renewed my acquaintance with the smart editing function, a very nice touch if I may say so. Actually the section I was trying to remove was where the orchestra plays very quietly, maybe for half a minute or even a minute. When I typed Command-C, I noticed tha...

Wow, such an underwhelming response, I don't know where to start. :? Well, you'll all be relieved to know that it was only one of the sound files I've created, that behaved like that. It seems to have something to do with those little green spots that sometimes appear for no apparent reason - I've y...

How to cut silence out of a piece of music

Well, it's years since I used AmadeusLite, so I can't really remember how I used to do things; but I'm sure it didn't behave like this before. There's a few seconds of silence in a track I'm trying to clean up prior to loading it to my phone. I select the section I want to dump, then use 'Cut' or 'D...

Re: Mono to Stereo in Amadeus Lite?

Hi Dave, see Sound -> Characteristics. Regards, Martin -- HairerSoft http://www.hairersoft.com/ Ah, thank you Martin. I knew it had to be something easy to find - but I couldn't find it! I get a little more senile every day. ':) Cheers, Dave _______________________________________________ Amadeus f...

Wow, such a response, I'm quite underwhelmed. Someone once said that the only stupid question is the one that isn't asked, but of course he didn't mention anything about being answered, did he. :? Doesn't anyone out there know how to make a single track recording into a double track recording? Yes I...

Mono to Stereo in Amadeus Lite?

Hi guys, I'm only using Amadeus Lite so far. And I have the Voxengo "Stereo Touch" unit but obviously it only works with dual tracks I've copied a mono track from an old Long Playing record. Is there a way to double the mono track so as to use the audio unit to simulate the stereo effect, ...

Aggghh!! I feel so stupid! You were right all along Martin, I should have known. My sincerest apologies for wasting your time. The App Store app was in fact the first in the list until Amadeus came along, but I had assumed that the App Store's icon had been designed to be similar to the Applications...

On the contrary Martin, I don't have the "App Store" in my dock, in fact I don't use it and don't want anything to do with it. I'm not talking about the list of apps within my applications folder, I'm talking about the applications folder itself, which used to have it's own icon but now ha...

Hello Martin, thanks a lot for your reply to my post, it's much appreciated. Regarding the first part, a couple of hours ago I found another page on your site where I was able to purchase Amadeus Lite direct from the site and pay for it with PayPal. So either that page wasn't active when I was tryin...

Probably a stupid question but I can't quite figure this out (lacking navigation skills now I'm in my dotage!). I've downloaded Amadeus Lite directly from Martin's site and I want to pay for it, but I don't want to go via the Apple Store. Opening the app shows me a dialogue telling me I have to do i...
