Hi everyone!

Okay, this update may have been out for a few days but its very  
recent, ran the Amadeus Pro software this morning in order to do some  
audio editing and the update downloaded and installed automatically,  
that's a feature I truly like about this software, no prompting or  
anything, just downloading of the update, installing of the update and  
the running of the software and you can see exactly what Amadeus Pro  
is doing at any one time by interacting with the "progress monitor"  
when it appears, Voiceover will tell you when its active.

Anyway I'm writing about the multi track features which seem to have  
been enhanced a lot since I last played with them, you can now really  
do interactive multi track mixing.  Suppose for example you have the  
playhead and insertion pointer near the end of a song  and you'd like  
to do a "Voiceover" announcement, press option-command-r and you'll  
hear the material start playing from where the playhead is positioned,  
at this point you may start talking into your microphone or playing  
your input source which you can set under amadeus Pro, when you're  
finished press the "stop" button.  Now here's the slightly tricky bit  
as the stop button appears on the screen and as far as I know there's  
no shortcut key to activate this button at this time however, if you  
know the layout of the screen then you'll be able to position  
Voiceover on this button with just a few keystrokes and even better if  
you're monitoring what you're doing with headphones <smile>.

If you're doing multi track work then you'll have to save your project  
in the Amadeus Pro sound/document format but your projects can be  
exported to other formats such as standard Wave, FLAC, Mp3 or  
whatever, at this time all tracks are combined into a "master mix",  
I'm yet to play with this facility so I'll let the list know how I get  
on.

Its not often that one can report on things getting better with the  
economic recession and a thousand other problems to put up with but at  
least the author of Amadeus Pro is trying to change the trend and give  
us some encouragement with a fantastic product.
