Hi! DOes anyone use multitracking in Amadeus Pro? I have figured some of the basics out but I am still new to this area. I am planing doing a podcast where there should be at least three tracks. 1 my voice. 2 a music track (for intro and outro). 3. a source such as the system sounds or another device such as the Iphone. Now here is how I think the project shell be put together: 1. I will first need to record the track 1 and 3 (my voice and the thing I want to use). 2. I will need to let the music fade so the intro isn't covered by the music. 3. THe music fades completely out and won't come back until the outro kicks in. 4. FOr this reason I will need to insert silence (I suppose) to the music track so it won't come back before the outtro. I suppose I can select the portion in the voicetrack and then tell Amadeus to create silence up to that point in the music track as well? Here I would be glad if somebody know how to do this correctly or if you have some other helpful tips. 5. I have set things up here so I can record my voice and the track 3 into two files which can easily be pasted together but I still want two tracks so I have total control over the whole project. Another question: For us who can not see the picture of the project it might look a bit confusing if any track don't start at 0 seconds. Can we insert a bit of silence or is this no longer needed to calculate as I was used to when operating with single track editors? Or is this thought by how it might look just me and something which no one (and the sighted too) haven't to care about?
