A couple of problems (bugs?)

Post by vuzhmusic »

I just bought Amadeus Pro... AND moved both Amadeus Pro and Amadeus II to my iBook G4 running OS 10.5.8

Amadeus II problem only occurs on the iBook, when I'm working on a file, if I do some task, like change pitch or apply an effect, thereafter the entire menu bar freezes and I cannot access any of the drop down menus and I have to quit and restart the program to do the next task. Very annoying problem. This program works perfectly on my G4 tower running 10.4.11

The Amadeus Pro problem I have is on both computers, the 'preview' function on AU / VST plugins will only preview a few seconds before spontaneously stopping. This is a problem for my workflow, because I listen to files play as I fine tune plugins before applying them.

Are there any possible fixes for these problems?

Amadeus II does not support Mac OS 10.5.

This is strange. Do you get an error message in the console (Applications/Utilities/Console.app)?

Ah, that's too bad about AII & 10.5...

Regarding my problem with APro, I just ran Console with the iBook, and Previewed Apple's Audio Unit Graphic EQ and it only previews about ten or so seconds before the preview spontaneously stops. No Console message.

What function of AII did you want to use that AP doesn't have?

Did you maybe have only ten seconds of sound selected?

I've only just started to use APro, but the preview bug is a big turn off. I also like to use horizontal zoom with the center scroller of the mouse instead of the slider, but that's only a minor annoyance, less important than this preview problem I've been describing. It really kills the usefulness for me.

No, the problem occurs when the full file is selected.

Actually, now that I'm experimenting with this problem, I notice that it only occurs when the entire file is selected. If I select a large chunk, but not the whole thing, then the preview doesn't stop short.

What does the mouse scroller do for you? It should actually perform a horizontal zoom...
If not, see http://www.hairersoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1417 for how to revert to
default behaviour. Regards,

Effects still not working

Post by vuzhmusic »

Hello,

thanks for the suggestion on the scrolling, entering the hidden preference into terminal did the trick perfectly.

However, when the entire track is selected by hitting command-'A', my effects still quit after playing for a few seconds. It's a really annoying problem.

What about the version at <http://www.hairersoft.com/Downloads/AmadeusPro.zip>?
It fixes a couple of problems related to Audio Units.... Regards,
