Evening guys, I've had Amadeus for years. The only thing I've ever really used it for is the batch converter. I bought it at the time for a PHD student of mine who was an audio expert, but as she's no longer working with me I now have to do my own processing.
I'm afraid, therefore, I'm going to be badgering the list with some incredibly basic questions over the next wee while. I understand completely the notion of the two heads (play and insertion), and also the concept of moving them to each other. However, a few things are puzzling me. Firstly, let's take something very trivial. I have a sound file, I want to trim the first 12 seconds off it. So I simply use the cmd-g shortcut and go to the location. However, when I hit shift-home (on the laptop FN-leftarrow) it doesn't seem to select the portion of the file I want. Anyone any thoughts? Secondly, when I open the program and hit space, the sound plays fine. However if I move VO at all to go around the window, I can never seem to get back to the point where space plays the sound. So again, how do people manage this? finally, I know Eric Caron did a great podcast on Amadeus, but are there any other resources I should be looking at? The answer to that last one is in all of your interests, as it will stop me firing off lord knows how many dumb questions to this list! *smile* Thanks as ever, Dónal Dr. Dónal Fitzpatrick, School of Computing, Dublin City University, Glasnevin, Dublin 9, Ireland Tel. +353-(0)1-700-8929 fax: +353-(0)1-700-5442 email: dfitzpat (at) computing.dcu.ie Email Disclaimer "This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for use by the addressee.
