Hi again! Hmm, delete silence only works on the start or at the end of the file sadly. I wish they would do something about that, so we could tell Amadeus to remove silence e.g. at -45 db and if it is longer than 0.5 miliseconds and then it could keep about 0.2 miliseconds of the original silence length. About the left and right bracket keys: There is a concept we need to get used to here. I suppose you have tried apps like Goldwave for Windows or perhaps Audacity? Anyway, you can do one of the following two things: 1. when playing the file you can press the letter p to drop a marker where at the spot of the file which you're hearing. 2. Here is the concept I mentioned before. Amadeus lets you move the playback and the editing (or insertion point) cursors independly. Then you will do the following: Play the file till the place which you want to select. Press space to pause the file. Then press command y to move the insertion point to the exact same place as the playback head as Amadeus calls it. Now hit the m key. 2. Press space again and pause it when you are at the end of your selection. Then repeat the same operation described above. Again, hit command-y to move the insertion point and then the m key.
However, regardless of which of the two methods you prefer you'll need to do the following. Hit command- left arrow to select from the marker you are at to the previous marker. If you hit command right arrow it will select to the next marker. If you want to adjust the selection you can select or deselect with the letters a and s for moving the start a bit to the left (that's the a key) and to the right. That is the s key. D and f works exactly the same way as a and s do, except that this is for the end of the selection. I just saw in the selection menu that you can remove markers from the selection by pressing command-delete I use the moving insertion point option personally. Or you can remove all markers from the same menu. The manual could indeed need some more details. The owner have written some nice material in most cases. But sometimes he deals with pictures and he is assuming that the user are able to look at the picture. Therefor I am a bit lost in the manual sometimes because of this.
