Playback problem with 1.4.5 - HELP!

Post by SwedishChris »

Hi! I just updated to Amadeus Pro 1.4.5 on SnowLeopard 10.6.2, and for some reason I can't press play. The program seems to accept the "space bar" command (Play button turns to Stop button) but the file doesn't start playing. Neither does it start recording when I press Record. Any ideas??? Have I accidentally changed something?

I've used Amadeus II and Amadeus Pro for years and it's a great audio editing program. But...

I'm having the same problem with 10.5.8 on a very nice Hackintosh I built. I can't get any audio out of Amadeus since it can't play back files or record. Yet- Audacity works just fine.

Could this be a problem with 1.4.5? Is it possible to download previous versions somewhere?

I appreciate your answer and thank you for them.

I doubt it; the playback functions haven't changed... Do you get an error message in the console when you try to start playing back? Also, do the "Preview" functions of the sound effects work or do they also remain silent?

You can get 1.4.3 at <http://www.hairersoft.com/Archives/Amad ... eusPro.zip>.

Thank you for your response! I tried 1.4.3 and I still get the same results. I press either the play button, the space bar, or even the record button and nothing happens.

Also, when I try the effects previews, like you suggested, I still get nothing. I tried amplify, normalize, swap channels. No success at all. I'm not sure that this is a problem with Core Audio because I can get sound with iTunes and Audacity. A strange problem.

I don't understand. These are precisely the effects that don't actually have a preview function.... I was thinking about the Audio Units (for example) where you have a "Preview" button in the effect window.

Again, do you get an error message in the console when you try to start playback? Also, could you try to start it, open the activity monitor (in Applications/Utilities), select Amadeus Pro, hit "Sample Process" and send me the report it generates? Thanks,

Martin

I was able to do this finally-

I used the change pitch/speed preview, and I was able to get it to play. I tried to save the file after I changed the pitched and it crashed when the progress bar went to the very end. I force quit the program and it asked me if I wanted to send a report to you, but it didn't have anything to send to you.

I have the report from the Sample Process- should I just e-mail it to you?
