I know, but put up against Amadeus Pro, the Audacity is like a Ford
Fiesta against a Porsche 911GTE...:-) - The Audacity isnot running that
good on any OS X. I've tested and tried all versions since main release,
and none of them will do by near what even the old Amadeus II 3.x can
deliever except the multitrack feature in Audacity.

The best ver. of Audacity was the old ver. 1.0.3 which was fairly good
and stable, but since then it has just become worse and worse. - Worst
of all you risk losing everything when it suddenly breaks down or
freezes. I donot know why this is so. I've tested it on both older G4s
Sawtooths, QuickSilvers, MDDs, PowerBooks and IntelMacs. The one
computer where it was running the best was my QuickSilver dual 1,8ghz
CPU upgraded + 10.4.11 and Audacity 1.0.3.

What I find worse is that using Audacity on either Windows or Linux
seems to work without problems. I have it running nice and smooth on my
Windows XPPro on my MacPro QuadCore, and I've also tested it on a
MacBook Pro 2.2ghz - also running XPPro - also here it's working just as
expected.

So no matter if Audacity is free or not, I won't recommend it for
anything serious work.

Cheers, Erik Richard
