The Best of Both Phone, and TabletPublisher's Description
From HairerSoft:
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 and panning adjusted independently from the others. Each track can be split into multiple audio clips that can easily be dragged independently of each other. Furthermore, Audio Units can be applied to individual tracks in real-time without requiring any destructive editing.
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.
What's new in this version:
- Markers are magnetic when dragging clips or changing the selection.
- Fixes UI glitches in non-English locales.
- Opens AMR files on Mac OS 10.7.
- Bug fixes.

"The only app I use for music editing."
Version: Amadeus Pro 2.0
Pros
Easy to cut and paste song sections
I can't ever recall the developer asking for more money for new versions.Cons
Interface is better but still a little clunky.
Summary
I do a lot of song/music editing. Most of my Web design customers are in the music business and don't want whole tunes downloaded for free. It's very easy for me to make up samples to play as background or to be used for tunes on a given recording.

"Upgrade option does not work. No communication path."
Version: Amadeus Pro 2.0
Pros
I love this product and use it all the time.Best in the business.
Cons
I upgraded without any warning that this upgrade required a new purchase. I found a path to upgrade rather than buy but all I get is that there is something wrong with my product.
Summary
I won't rate this badly because of an admin glitch, which is what I hope it is, but I will not give it a high rating unless they turn this around.

"Works well, stable. Fun see waveform when fine editing"
Version: Amadeus Pro 1.5.4
Pros
Excellent support. Reported a problem on previous version 27 December 2010. This latest version was available 13 January, 2011.
Cons
It is really tedious to clean up clicks and scratches found on recordings I make from old vinyl records. That is a problem mostly of the records. But the process is not fun.
Summary
Excellent flexibility changing whatever input format I start with. AIFF, mp3, MPEG. I edit in AIFF and convert back to a compressed format to be stored on my iPod. Will convert stereo to mono. Probably can do many other things that I do not need to do right now.

"Still the best"
Version: Amadeus Pro 1.5.2
Pros
This guy never stops improving his software. I would compare him with the folks who write BBEdit. Amadeus is still the best tool I have found for editing clips for a lot of the Web sites I design (I have a lot of musician clients).
Cons
The interface has vastly improved but still has a kind of clunky look.
Summary
I'm a fan of Amadeus and have been almost since its inception.

"Absolute bargain for the price!"
Version: Amadeus Pro 1.3.3
Summary

Amadeus Pro is up there with Bias Peak IMO. At $40 (!) though, Amadeus knocks the spots of Peak! This latest version (of Amadeus Pro) is fabulous. Buy it and love it.
Well done Hairersoft! :¬) -
"Recording from LP and auto defining cuts is NG"
Version: Amadeus Pro 1.0.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I bought Amadeus Pros after reading a MacWorld review commending Amadeus II's track splitting prowess. Amadeus II is supposed to find the quiet spots inbetween different songs, and automatically break the one long recording of the LP into individual cuts.
I can't evaluate Amadeus II, since I bought the Pro version thinking Pro would be better, but I can tell you that the automatic track splitting did not work at all for me , at least after 15-20 minutes of tweaking each time on three different albums. Don't waste your time.
Try Boom Box/Spin Doctor, which is also not great in automatically finding the breaks between songs, but at least the manual defining of each cut is very easy.

"Useful Utility"
Version: Amadeus Pro 1.0.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I gave this product a rather harsh review a while back because some potentially useful advanced features were not documented at all, including a couple that I really wanted to use. That situation colored my ratings, but in retrospect that wasn't fair to the author and, more importantly, to users looking for a sound editing utility, since this might actually be the best choice for a lot of people.
The basic interactive sound editing features work well and the program is quite stable; unlike some other applications I've used in the same class, this one has never mangled my data.
This is the sort of utility you want to have available even if you already have a much more powerful sound track editor at your disposal (sort of like it is handy to have GraphicConverter around even if you also have Photoshop) because it is more straighforward to use this for simple editing jobs.
Unfortunately, although this application has capabilities well beyond simple visual cut and paste, the manual simply blows off documenting many of these features. In some cases documentation in the manual could be considered optional if there were even clearly explanatory tooltips in the dialogs, or some sort of online help available that documented these functions, but even this is missing.
If a future version of the program includes adequate documentation of these functions, I would definitely give it five stars. As it is, I equivocate between three and four but since I was overly stingy before, I'll give it four. -
"HOG!"
Version: Amadeus Pro 1.0.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I have a decent computer. 1.83 core duo macbook 2 gigs ram. I had 3 programs open, and I noticed that my memory and CPU monitors were maxed and the fans were going full speed. I wasn't doing ANYTHING in the program. It was just sitting. I open up activity monitor for a more detailed look then my menu bar stat program could give, and it said it was using 192% if my processor (it may not sound like it makes sence, but remember 2 cores, 200% total) and 80% of my memory and 1.7 gigs of virtual memory! Dreamweaver was open and it wasn't using a fraction! I never had this problem in amadeus 2, just the pro version. AND I WASN'T EVEN DOING ANY EDITING! This may not be a common problem, but it is a big one...so i can't really recomend this program, armadeus II does the job. -
"Abysmal Documentation"
Version: Amadeus Pro 1.0.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I specifically bought the upgrade to do some detailed volume editing on a sound file. There are seveal "Fading" options in the menu...usage for some is obvious, not for others. I consulted the manual, and I was shocked to find that none of the "Effects" menu commands were documented. Rather, there is a single paragraph stating that these are common effects and therefore would not be documented! Plus, a link is given to a very generic Wikipedia article that is completely unhelpful as far as using these specific commands is concerned (many of the effects in the menu aren't even mentioned in the short Wikipedia entry, not that it would have been paricularly helpful if they had been).
I am a shareware author myself. I find this to be unconscionable. The author expects every user to pay $40 a pop for this program, but he doesn't want to take a few hours to document the operation of every menu command which is the _minimum_ required of a commercial program. There should at least be a bare-bones reference for each menu command.
