Amadeus Pro is a fully featured multitrack editor. Each track can have its volume and panning adjusted independently from the others. Each track can be split into multiple audio clips that can easily be dragged independently of each other. Furthermore, Audio Units can be applied to individual tracks in real-time without requiring any destructive editing.

There’s that whole collection of files that you wanted to convert to Mp3, but you first wanted to normalize them and make them fade in and out nicely. Several hours of work in perspective? Let Amadeus Pro do the work for you! The powerful batch processor allows you not only to convert large numbers of files between any of the supported formats, but you can also instruct Amadeus Pro to apply any sequence of sound effects

The handy repair centre allows you to find and to repair cracks with a simple click of the mouse. Furthermore, Amadeus Pro’s powerful denoising functions allow you to easily get rid of that annoying hiss on your old tape recordings or of that 50Hz hum picked up by a badly insulated microphone.

Convert vinyls or tapes to CD

Amadeus Pro’s powerful denoising and repairing functions make it easy to remove that annoying hiss on your favourite tape recordings or the scratch on that old vinyl recording.

Split your recording into multiple tracks with one handy function, for use by iTunes for example.

Burn your recording to an Audio CD straight away from within Amadeus Pro with a simple click of the mouse.

Dedicated equalizers make it easy to get the original sound back from very old recordings.

Converts to and from the following file formats: Amadeus, AIFF, WAVE, Mp3, Ogg Vorbis, Mp4, M4a (AAC and Apple Lossless), FLAC, Apple CAF, QuickTime, SoundDesigner II, Next, Mp2 (reading only).

Allows you to apply arbitrary sequences of sound effects to a collection of files.

Preserves metadata (artist, song title, album cover, etc) even across formats, provided that the format supports metadata.

Full support for both Audio Unit and VST audio Plug-Ins means that the functionality of Amadeus Pro can be extended and tailored to suit your particular requirements perfectly.

The most commonly used effects (multiband graphic equalizers, volume normalization, fade in/out, echo, speed and pitch change, etc) are built into the program and therefore benefit from a nice MacOS X – like user interface.

Amadeus Pro allows you to maintain a list of favorite actions, so that your commonly used tasks are always only one mouse click away.

Create high quality sonograms or spectrum analyses for professional or amateur use.

The many real-time analysis tools of Amadeus Pro make it the perfect pedagogical tool for explaining the physics of sounds.

Extensive waveform statistics.

In a tracker, the music runs from top to bottom in an easily understood grid known as a pattern. Several patterns arranged in a certain order make up a song. Editing in a pattern grid lends itself very well to a fast and immediate keyboard-based workflow. With Renoise you can produce loops, beats, chords and melodies efficiently step-by-step.

Whether you're an audio veteran or just starting out, Renoise is a fantastic addition to any bedroom or professional studio

Melodyne studio - Polyphonic magic. Melodyne studio is the largest member of the Melodyne family. With this most powerful version you are no longer limited to the editing of monophonic melodies, but you can also handle complex textures and even polyphonic material, such as chords or song mixes!* Furthermore, Melodyne studio is a complete audio multi-tracker with an unlimited number of tracks and a high resolution of up to 32 bit and 192 kHz. Recording artists and engineers have known about Melodyne for years. For a long time, though, it was only monophonic vocal and instrumental parts that could benefit from Melodyne’s much-admired editing algorithms: algorithms capable of everything from minor corrections of intonation to extreme pitch shifting and from the subtle modification of grooves to drastic time stretching. 

Melodyne studio 3 introduces this magic to full chords and complex audio signals as well; so now harmonic material (such as rhythm guitar or piano parts) can be transposed (without altering the tempo), slowed down or sped up (without altering the pitch) and even quantized.* What’s more, all this can be done in real time with the highest sound quality for which Melodyne is famous. You might already know pitch shifting and time stretching from other programs, yet with Melodyne, even extreme alterations still sound natural and convincing 

Key features: 

* Handles also polyphonic material (eg. chords and mixes). 

* Complete multi-track arrangements (unlimited number of tracks). 

* Superb resolution: up to 32 bit, 192 kHz. 

* Melody Manager to browse audio files. 

* Can import Liquid instruments and Melodyne Sound Library. 

* 'Correct Pitch' and 'Quantize Time' macros. 

* MelodyneBridge and ReWire integration.
