BMEEKS24 I like the features - and it does EXACTLY what I needed. I wanted something that would record church sermons and music ministry - and allow me to set markers for tracks and click one button to split and create complete MP3 files. Now the one major con - and it is huge in my opinion. Who the @#**^%* came up with the key shortcuts? Marker insert is SHIFT CMD M - not CMD M as one would think - but if you do inadvertently hit CMD M - then you will minimize the window. A minor con - the preview wav at the top of the screen doesnt show playhead position - but it is helpful when zoomed in. But overall - this is a great application and I will probably buy it. But I must say that for double the money - Sound Studio is also very clean and does a great job, but it also has it's cons - mainly (as stated) it costs twice as much! But the controls are a bit more intuitive.

SJK Apple considers Command-M a recommended Minimize shortcut: • Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts • Keyboard Shortcuts Quick Reference

MSWFUJOWDFFYC I recommend to make your own sortcuts. This can be done in the System Preferences.

ANONYMOUS Zoom in / out is also just +/- and creating a marker is just 'm', which I think is as intuitive as it gets ;-) Note also that: - There is a list of available shortcuts in the manual. - The shortcuts of menu items can be fully customised in the system preferences.

BMEEKS24 Funny - you are right, I was looking at the shortcuts as listed in the menu bar - but +/- and m all work. I am a man's man - so I don't read manuals!!! Maybe a good time to start once i get the egg off my face! I also learned how to make custom shortcuts and made it how I like it - so this is really a great title.

ATTICUS X This has become the IDEAL application for simple audio editing and converting sound files. In addition to its standard editing and recording functionality, Amadeus Pro lets you apply custom fades, add a variety of effects (including most VST and Audio Unit effects), insert text markers for your own reference, analyze and change various characteristics of your audio (bit rate, stereo/mono, etc), and a lot more. The batch processor saves time when you're performing the same operation(s) on many audio files. In fact, the whole interface is designed for efficiency: elegant, intuitive, streamlined... and very stable. For advanced multitrack editing you may prefer to use a more advanced multitrack editor (e.g., Logic, Ableton Live, Pro Tools), but for most everyday editing, I find Amadeus preferable. The developer is active and responsive to queries. The manual (accessible from the Help menu) is thorough and simple to understand. When troubleshooting becomes necessary, the user forum on the developer's website can be a great help. Amadeus is more than worth the low price and is altogether an essential piece of software for anyone that edits audio on a Mac.

The beautiful wave form of a professionnal Sadie4 software with an interface I think better than Peak. only one little problem:when we enlarge the selection during playback,the playback stop on the last end and not at the new end of selection...but in general I think this soft is more ergonomic,simple,more beautiful and more good karma than peak. P.S. In my personnal selection: The number 2 is Fission of Rogue (not bad, under const I think ;) good interface but the cut mode is too bad. Peak?Euh...have you see the price?

MACGUY_81 Amadeus continues to impress me. A really well-put-together, solid sound editor. Highly recommended.

CLOAKNDAGUERRE Wow! As a photographer who edits a lot of audio for blogs and audio slide shows, this is a Godsend. Working in the newspaper industry, with deadlines and the frequent pressures of working in the front seat of a car or on the fly, Amadeus Pro is truly wonderful. It's powerful (sorry, Fission), stable (sorry, Audacity) and a real joy to use (sorry, GarageBand). The interface is elegant and intuitive, and the features, speed and capability of this app make it a steal for the money. I've given up my ProTools LE/Mbox dongle and all the other multi-track editing apps that lived in my dock for months. This is hands-down my favourite.

MAC ADAM Really Smooth version, Nice works :D • Still only Batch use lot of Deamon Windows Server process (~30%) could be optimised.

MSWFUJOWDFFYC 1.3.1's new features include "RIAA filters." Don't worry folks; this isn't some kind of DRM thing. It's actually an equalization specification ratified by the RIAA many years ago to standardize the way phonograph records are recorded. See the URL below for more details. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA_equalization

ISTRA When I came to know Amadeus, it didn't take me longer than a few hours to decide (and buy immediately) this application. I can't recall it crashing -except a short period when I was tweaking my system; but then every appl. on my mac did the same... I've been working with it for many months and it's so intuitive, fast and obedient that I don't think I'll ever need to change for another application. Amadeus Pro is an ideal tool for what I'm doing (classical music, vocal and instrumental, and recited literary texts). My feeling is that I can totally concentrate on the artistic content and the esthetic side of things, than have to fight with the overblown software of today. This is real efficiency! The maker is also very responsive to questions and it seems he's *personally* working on the software. Just call it trustworthy :-) And to talk about the price? Come on guys!!!!!
