Amadeus pro for windows11/21/2023 ![]() Or that there are fundamentally different ways of accomplishing the same tasks. I'm hoping that some of these features exist but that I just haven't found them. Each time I've asked for a new feature, he could point out that it already existed. When I e-mail Chris, the developer of GoldWave, which I've done quite a few times over the 15 years I've used that program, he's always responded within 48 hours-less, now that Audacity has replicated much of GW's functionality for free. ![]() Naturally, GoldWave has had it forever.ĥ) Martin needs to reply to emails. In an 80-minute lecture that I'm trying to format for an online course I teach, this amounts to hundreds of seconds I could remove in a keystroke. Audacity has it, so there's a work-around. "silence" is definable as a certain negative dB level for a specified duration. It can already find silences and mark them. And, since I don't know of a means to jump around in the file other than manually writing down the time codes while editing, I can't readily re-add the cue-points later that I want to become track split points.Ĥ) As a fair amount of sighted users have requested in the past, AP needs a "remove silences" tool. Editing a lecture I give in Amadeus Pro creates a graveyard of markers that just get in the way when I need to export. I can color-code them, I can Label them, and I want to use one or the other or both means to distinguish between "permanent markers" versus editing places. But Amadeus also uses markers for temporary editing, or at least keyboard users must use them this way. I use markers in "export multiple" to create segments in my podcasts, which utilizes markers. Amadeus does a far better job with previewing cuts, but it can still be accomplished in GoldWave with three keypresses (these are zoom to selection, then zoom out, then play unselected).ģ) I want a "delete all unlabeled markers" option. I want this in Amadeus before I nuc' my bootcamp partition on my old MBA. The default is 0.1 sec, which is almost perfect for hearing when the speaker (me, in my case) starts to form an "um" or "you know" or when the utterance is actually fully complete. I press the right arrow and the playback position jumps left to my last insertion point?Ģ) The ASDF keys are a marvelously ergonomic way to move the selection goal posts in Amadeus, but GoldWave actually plays a user-configurable amount of sound each time its equivalent key combination is pressed. Do these keys work for others, or are there other means I'm not aware of?Īs a side note on this point, having left/right arrows jump identically to the insertion point is the most bizarre and wasteful use of keys I've ever encountered. Home/End/PgUp/PgDwn don't do anything audible for me. I would expect the playback position to move by one screen with page up/down according to the current zoom level, for instance, as GoldWave does. But Home/End/Page Up/ Page Down, by which I mean the Fn key plus arrow keys, seems to do nothing. Seeking by a few seconds is obviously there, as is jumping to the previous editing mark or to the insertion point. I would imagine that blind users must be the bulk of new AP users, since Audacity has baked in all of AP's functionality and more.ġ) Navigating a file in large jumps does not seem possible, except through the "go to" tool. ![]() If they aren't, please consider requesting them. Please let me know if any of these things are in fact possible. Here are the issues I've tried to email Martin Hairer about, with zero response. ![]() Amadeus, though, fails at a few things, too, as far as I can tell. Audacity falls way short because of UI accessibility issues their developers are admirably well aware of, though one can do some basic tasks as Paul's AppleVis blog entry points out. Over the last couple of weeks, I've tried to shift my audio editing from Windows using GoldWave to Mac using either Audacity or Amadeus Pro, but both fall short. ![]()
