Not Pro enough

Amadeus Pro was highly touted on various as an excellent replacement for the powerful audio editor and mastering tool "BIAS Peak Pro". My main use for such a tool is 2-cahnnel file conversion, minor processing like levels, dynamics, or equalization, and most importantly, fine detailed editing of dialog and sound effects.

Amadeus Pro seems fine for all of those tasks except detailed editing; for this its a hard slog getting precision work done. Theres no way to scrub to find a precise edit point. And it lacks Peaks very easy and intuitive feature of selection deletion with crossfade. Yes, with some futzing you can delete a section, and the drag the remaining sections together and create a crossfade. But taking a hundred "ums" and "ahhs" out of an interview, which I could do only a bit slower than real-time in Peak Pro, could take many, many times the duration of the clip in Amadeus Pro.

This is the first version of Amadeus Pro Ive used. All in all the app is elegant and seems reliable. For a lot of less demaning, less professional audio tasks, Im certain its an adequately powerful tool.
