Mac20Q AmadeusPro Special

I get talking with Martin Hairer who is the developer of Amadeus Pro.

I use this application daily so I was delighted when Martin told me he would love to be featured on the show. Not only that but he has given me a licence to give away to a Mac20Q listener.

To win the software all you have to do is

• Put a comment in this post about Mac20 Questions.


• Send me by email ( mac20q AT gmail.com ) the answer to the following question.

What is the next item down in the Analyse Menu in Amadeus Pro after Multiband RTA.

Easy to get this information by downloading a copy of Amadeus Pro to try and clicking the menu. there are other ways to find out the information, like listening carefully to the podcast for example.

I prefer to use Amadeus Pro for editing the wave form because I don't have drag the sound to rejoin it after I have made a cut and deleted an portion of sound as you have to in Garageband.

I tell people that Amadeus is like Audacity but prettier and works better. I did try Audacity but it is no where near as good as AmadeusPro.

Look out for a small Screencast I will be doing over the next couple of days that will explain some of the features of AmadeusPro. Apart from editing wave forms of audio you can also use the batch facilities. I used it to convert a pile of crappy WMA files to mp3 the other day and once I had it set up it was a simple drag and drop.

Sponsor for the Show is Go To Meeting

Amadeus Pro is a powerful multitrack audio editor supporting a variety of formats including MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, Apple Lossless, AIFF, Wave and many others.

Multitrack editor

Amadeus Pro is a fully featured multitrack editor. Each track can have its volume adjusted independently from the others. Amadeus Pro fully supports multitrack WAVE files and allows you to render sound on up to 5 different loudspeakers simultaneously.

Batch processing

There's that whole collection of files that you wanted to convert to Mp3, but you first wanted to normalize them and make them fade in and out nicely. Several hours of work in perspective? Let Amadeus Pro do the work for you! The powerful batch processor allows you not only to convert large numbers of files between any of the supported formats, but you can also instruct Amadeus Pro to apply any sequence of sound effects.

Repair centre

The handy repair centre allows you to find and to repair cracks with a simple click of the mouse. Furthermore, Amadeus Pro's powerful denoising functions allow you to easily get rid of that annoying hiss on your old tape recordings or of that 50Hz hum picked up by a badly insulated microphone.
