SHARPIEEE  in recent days there have been several new sound editors to show up for Mac, but i still find myself using Amadeus II constantly. i haven't tried Pro yet although i mean to.

amadeus II has a great feature set, a stable and solid interface with plenty of intuitive controls, and the price tag is reasonable.

LSK8  More of a question: I have seen this used by musicians to record their performances and edit them; can i use it to take sections of a track ( like from sec. 21-sec. 45 of a particular song) from my mac computer-stored music (iTunes) to compile a cd of my own with fades in between? are there better programs for this? This is for a dance type performance. It is just hard to find out what this program does, exactly, and if it will do what I want. Thx.

JTARHEEL  I use it for transferring vinyl to digital. Amadeus allows me to remove a lot of annoying sounds.

Also great for editing ringtones.

On ocassion when I need to get someone some sound effects, Amadeus helps with editing the effects.

Well worth the money.

MACSWEEP  Been using Amadeus about 4 years. It's getting better, but, I must say though, Sound Studio is better for *editing*. With Amadeus the user cannot easily play over and over again a selected portion of a sound. Sound Studio will play only the selected portion as many times as the user wants. However Sound Studio is more than twice as expensive and does not have as many features as Amadeus including some denoising features. Amadeus needs easier denoising abilities.

ANONYMOUS  This small sound editor is a real save time.

Beats hand down the clunky Audacity.

5 stars.  
(Version 3.8.4)

WALTER  Is there a way to edit mp3-tags too ?  
(Version 3.8.4)

TRISTAN P  Beats the crap out of 'Sound Studio'; great for rough-and-ready audio restoration. And 'Amadeus' has AU and VST support, which, amazingly, 'Sound Studio' *still* doesn't have (and won't for a while, apparently). What year is this again?

'Amadeus' has a very useful interpolation feature which can remove *huge* pops from defective recordings once you isolate the impulse waveform.

Very intuitive app to use. Great stuff.  
(Version 3.8.4)

ANONYMOUS  Martin has fixed a glitch in the waveform display that I encountered in v.3.8.3. Specifically, if I had a waveform mostly expanded (which is done using Cmd-G) and then tried to contract it using the keyboard command (Cmd-Shift-G), the waveform would continue to expand, to the maximum. As I said, this has been fixed in 3.8.4.

This is a wonderful program--well worth the shareware fee. The relatively new "Change Pitch and Speed" dialog is terrific. I can adjust recordings to concert pitch and alter the playback speed, which is perfect for teaching music students.

BRUCEY  Update notes for v 3.8.4

"Version 3.8.4 is now officially available, with several (mostly Tiger-oriented) improvements:

- Fixes a display bug in Tiger

- Fixes a bug that would prevent settings for VST plugins to be saved

- Supports the Apple CAF and AAC/ADTS formats (MacOS 10.3 + QuickTime 7 required)

- Supports the mp4 and m4a formats (MacOS 10.4 required)

Since it also fixes a bunch of minor bugs, it is however a recommended upgrade for all

users, even those who aren't using Panther or Tiger yet... Enjoy!

JOHN PROKOS  Excellent software for once in a while sound editing. I need something simple to use without a bunch of confusing proprietary lingo and one year learning curve. This is easy to use, fast, high quality and inexpensive. I have been using it for the last three years and like it.
