Amadeus Lite
Amadeus Lite is a lightweight audio waveform editor and voice recorder for macOS. It supports a wide range of audio formats including AIFF, WAV, MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, and Apple Lossless. The app includes smart editing features that prevent audio artifacts, built-in sound effects such as equalizers and fades, full support for third-party Audio Unit plugins, and tools for tasks like vinyl-to-digital conversion, denoising, and CD burning. It is commonly used by podcasters, musicians, audio hobbyists, and anyone needing straightforward audio editing without the complexity of a full multitrack DAW.

1 suggestionAmadeus Lite has been running natively on Apple Silicon Macs since version 2.8.4, released in 2020. The vendor's website explicitly states that the latest version (2.8.14) is fully compatible with macOS Tahoe and runs natively on Apple Silicon hardware. If you are still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, update to the latest version through the vendor's direct download at hairersoft.com/lite.html or through the Mac App Store (depending on where you originally purchased it). Once updated, you will have access to the native Apple Silicon build and can take advantage of better performance and battery efficiency on M-series Macs. Existing preferences, library data, and Audio Unit plugin settings will carry over automatically after the update.
