Hi
Amadeus Pro's selection concepts are a bit different from a lot of
other audio editors. I'll try to explain it as best I can, though I
really had to play with it for a while to get good at it.
Probably the most important thing I have to stress is that your
insertion point and play head are two completely separate cursors.
When you're playing and moving around in the playback with the various
movement commandds, you are manipulating the play head. When you use
those same commands when playback is stopped, you are moving the
insertion pointer. This means, in turn, that when you stop playback
your insertion pointer is *not* where you've stopped, the play head is
there. Your insertion pointer is wherever it was previously. Try and
think of it like the Voiceover cursor vs the Keyboard focus, if that
helps.
There are two commands that you will be using a lot. To move the
insertion pointer to the play head, you use command+y. To move the
play head to the insertion point, command+shift+y.
Now, with that said, there's so many ways to select audio in Amadeus
it isn't even funny. The two approaches I use are to put markers at
both the beginning and end of the area I wish to select, keeping in
mind which cursor I'm dealing with, move back to the middle and extend
the selection to the two markers. This is where you can get frustrated
if you don't remember to use the appropriate cursor.
The other method I use is to use the keys a, s, d, and f to manipulate
the selection precisely. A and s move the left edge of the selection
to the left or right, d and f do the same with the right edge.
To play a selection, use space--once you have a selection it will play
only that, as long as the play head or insertion pointer is within a
selection.
Hope this helped at least a little, it's sort of hard to explain. I
really did have to play with it for a while to fully grasp it. Now
that I have though I really like it.

hello all,
I'm working with a demo of Amadeus pro and have some questions if
anyone is using this software.
Is there a way to hear what you have selected?
Also, do you just have to place markers where you want to start
selecting or can you just press the spacebar to stop the playback
and start selecting?
