Hi Marlaina,
When I was first learning Amadeus Pro I found it difficult to piece
together all the written tips and suggestions. Also, the in app help was not
written from a voice over perspective. Once I was successful I did a podcast
designed to help new users of Amadeus Pro with Voice over. It is a little out
dated but I think it might still be helpful to you. As I said I created it
with exactly your situation in mind. I used the example of recording vinyl
records but the basics are covered. You will find it at blindcooltech.com I
believe it is called Amadeus Pro Vinyl to CD.
I also did a podcast on how to use Amadeus Pro to create ring tones but I'm
pretty sure it was not published on Blindcooltech.com. Only about 1 of three
of the podcasts I submitted actually ended up available.
I hope you find the Amadeus Pro podcast helpful.
