![]() There are fast forward and rewind controls, which are much more useful than skip to beginning and skip to end controls that are in audacity. When play is pushed it turns into to a red stop button, both combining two controls and offering very clear feedback. There is only rewind, play/stop, fast forward, and record. ![]() It is hard to form a mental map of the controls. there is a lack of clear feedback and the controls are overall pretty ambivalent. However the overall difference is barely noticeable and confusing. But when you push a button, the next possible commands become brighter and more pronounced. The current command is a darker gray, which is good feedback. But most confusing of all is the fact that it is not easily clear which commands are accessable at the time. Stop returns to the beginning of the file, so it is basically the pause command coupled with the return to start command. Most confusing of all, when pause is pressed, you can only press pause (to resume play, which is counter intuitive as I tried to press play to resume play as would be expected) and stop. To clarify, once play is pressed, you can only press pause or stop. However, when certain controls are pressed, you are only able to use a few other controls. They are: Skip to start, play, record, pause, stop, skip to end. Since these are often used as keyboard shortcuts, Amadeus Pro only has them in the pulldown menu, which reduces clutter.Īudacity has more playback options, but they lack proper feedback and are confusing to use. For example, Audacity has buttons for the following commands: cut, copy, paste, undo, and redo. Amadeus Pro simplifies these controls, the designers assumed that their users would be more comfortable using the well established standards for these controls. The toolbar in Audacity is cluttered and has many controls that are unnecessary. It is intuitive, requiring limited knowledge in the head to operate, while Audacity has more of a learning curve and a confusing layout.įirst of all, let's compare the toolbars on the top panel of each interface. ![]() I believe that Amadeus Pro is a superior interface and is much easier to control. The software applications Audacity and Amadeus Pro are audio recording applications, and though similar, each has its own benefits and flaws.
