Hi, I confess I haven't done much more than basic audio editing with Amadeus. I can say that if you choose an effects plugin, you're usually presented with a dialog box in which you can specify parameters. Scrubbing is doable although could be better in my opinion, arrows basically scrub. The trick to Amadeus Pro is that there is a play head and an insertion cursor. For reasons I'm sure I'll never understand, these two elements can not be linked. There are keyboard commands, however, to route the insertion pointer to play head, or route play head to insertion pointer. A pain to have to remember the keystrokes every time you want to make an edit, but eventually, it sort of becomes second nature. Yep, definitely no Sonar. :)
Hope this helps and I'll try and research the EQ question a bit. Steve On Apr 27, 2010, at 10:26 PM, Cameron wrote: Hi. yes, I have been reading about Amadeus pro and it's got some very good reviews. With vo though, what can you do as far as EQ, effects parameters, scrubbing, panning, etc? I didn't know that about finder regarding cd/dvd burning. That's a handy tip. Thanks!

First, congrats on the new Mac, that sounds like quite the machine. It sounds like you have all the software you could want, but I have a few suggestions. First, although nowhere near as good as Sonar, Amadeus Pro is a great, accessible audio editor for the Mac. The program costs $40 I believe, but it's well worth it. Second, you can burn DVDs directly from theFinder. Simply put whatever you want to burn in a folder, select that folder an under file, choose burn folder. There are a few other ways to do this as well, but I find that to be the easiest so far. Hope all this helps, please feel free to contact me on or off list if I can help further.
