I've been remiss in not leaving a review of this software which I've owned for over a decade now. Some people complain that the price is too high for what Amadeus Pro can do. As someone who has owned a number of audio processing software, I can say that I respectively disagree. Amadeus Pro does things quicker and easier then any of the other titles I've owned. The batch processing functions and ability to customize those processes alone are well worth the added cost, especially if you're a person like me who works with dozens and even sometimes hundreds of files! I use it not only on a daily basis, but multiple times every day and have my workflow with it down pat. I also own the developers wonderfully powerful and oh so useful app "Click Repair" for when I digitized my extensive library of vinyl back in the day and still occasionally use it. It works simply and accurately and is a great compliment to Amadeus Pro. Top all this off with a developer who is responsive, helpful and consistent and you have an application and back end that is WELL WORTH the cost!

I had an Amadeus license for years but I downloaded a trial of DSP-Quattro, many say a more capable audio editor, and eventually purchased it over Amadeus Pro.

Unless you want to record many tracks and use loops, you do not need a bigger application than Amadeus. It is wonderful for editing audio, with lots of features. I use it almost daily!

Pro? This tool is marking itself as ‘pro’ but cannot even do the VST or AU plugins in real-time. You need to click on ‘apply’. I kid you not !! Also, using the zoom slider is very slow, even on a my powerful Mac Pro. Cutting/pasting part is cumbersome too. Even for free this audio editor lacks basic needs. Avoid at all cost and take look at good audio editors like Wavelab or Triumph. They offer both real-time effects, decent editing, customization UI and many more.

Version: 2.5.2

Version 2.5.3 is out today. I haven't found any version history for it.

This is by far the best multitrack audio editor available at this price point, and completely kicks the crap out of that hunk of garbage Audacity (more than 15 years of development and its still sub-par). The new dark mode support is nice but the thing I like about this program is that it gets out of my way and lets me edit audio quickly and efficiently.

The one complaint I have is that you need to remember that two-finger scrolling from the right EDGE of the trackpad brings up Notification Center, so scroll left from further in on the right side of the trackpad to avoid that. Easily worked around, but until you change the Notification Center gesture, you'll occasionally see it when you didn't intend to.

Did I mention it works beautifully with VST and AU plugins and even has a 32-bit mode (still) for working with older plug-ins? Or how it exactly hits the target of being easy-to-use (like Fission) yet more powerful, but not complicated like [name any expensive DAW]? Or that the developer is very responsive both on his forum and in email? Best money I've ever spent on an audio editing tool. You can buy it from the Mac App Store or directly from the developer, your choice.

The version 2.5 has localization problems (the menus are in English) and an error (bad url) on updating. This on Mac OS 10.13.6 High Sierra. I hope they are fixed as soon as possible. Everything else is OK

It may have some nice features but it has a terrible GUI that very slow updating. Scrolling, zooming and cutting the waves is very chunky and slow. You literately see it redrawing. I have a new MBPr i7 6 cores and very fast GPU. This should be 60fps, sadly it doesn't even get to 5fps. It has always been the case from v1 and still is with v2.5 It can be done the good wxay like Triumpg and Audacity (free). Two similar apps that are way ahead of this defunct app. Avoid ...

Version: 2.4.6

I have downloaded the Amadeus Pro App and it is in my Applications folder. Each time I use it I have to go into the Applications folder to open it. It then comes up on my desktop but when I finish it and close it the App disappears and there is no longer an icon on the desktop. A message also comes up that it quit unexpectedly. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening? Thank you.
