How to Set Input Levels with FirePod and GarageBand

Hello ....
I/ve got Garageband and my Firepod 8 channel interface working ... but I need some tips .. especially on the relationship of input levels between my Firepod and Garageband ....
When I am setting input levels for a recording ... where should the input level be on the track in Garageband? .... Is that volume setting only for playback and mixing? .... or is it for the input as well ...
Thank you ....

Where should the initial input levels be set? ... Would you use the loudest
part of the song to do this? ...
Yes, as loud as possible without lighting the FP's clip leds.
When I mix the final product ... and change the volumes on the different
tracks.. aren't you then changing the input levels?
No, you're changing the output levels.
can't you red line and overload the track?
Yes, that's why each track has a fader, so that you don't clip.
Is there a master ouput level indicator
Yes, right over the Master Volume slider.
I guess you can't just put each track as loud as you want ... correct?
As loud as you want without clipping.
I would strongly suggest doing some web searches on "Mixing and Mastering" to learn more about how to mix, there's a TON of info floating around the web.

  • Setting Input Level with Griffin iMic

    I'm trying to digitize an audio cassette with Soundtrack Pro. My setup includes a Griffin iMic that goes to a USB port. The trouble I'm having is in controlling the input volume. The level meters indicate clipping, but I'm not clear how to set the input level.
    If it's in the Recording tab (>Input) with the Gain slider, mine is greyed out.

    M Wohlgy,
    (I know this is months after your post.)
    Control of the iMic volume is in the Preferences pane called "Sound". You can set the output and the input levels there.
    Remember the iMic's position switch works only for the imput, either close to the microphone icon for "microphone" or away from it for "line in".
    I use the iMic exclusively.

  • How to set up Bluetooth with iPhone and computer

    Hi there.
    I am now the proud owner of a brand new iPhone 3GS 32GB and I'm in love...
    I'm trying to set it up with Bluetooth. I used to be able to "Bluetooth" files to and from my computer with other mobile devices but I have difficulties with the iPhone. It won't connect. Anybody knows what I need to do? Cheers.

    The iPhone _does not_ support Bluetooth file transfer. You must use the USB cable for syncing, or there are file transfer/storage apps in the App Store (Files, File Magnet, Air Sharing, there are lots) that use Wi-Fi.
    On the iPhone, Bluetooth is limited to voice calls, music streaming to stereo headphones, and tethering (using the phone as a cellular modem). Tethering requires carrier support - O2 and Orange support it, Tesco does not.

  • How to set up Windows with Reader and certificate for all users

    Good afternoon (GMT),
    we're dealing with a Win XP (SP3) system that is set up by an Administrator. One task is to set up the system in a way that all users (w/o admin rights) become able to read a certified-protected PDF. Currently we know a way to install the "public key" for this certificate only for one known user. But how to proceed when not all users are known? The users shall later on never be asked to confirm the certification installation/registration.
    If it helps, here is the software version:
    Acrobat 8.12 to encrypt the PDF via certification. In near future I will switch to Acrobat 9.x
    Reader 7.x and/or 8.x on customer PCs.
    Thank you for ideas and hints.
    BTW: Next time we want to provide a solution for Win7 systems, too.

    Try this in a TEST instance before you promote it to Production.
    You will need to bounce the application services and enforce the users to sign off/on after setting those profile options.

  • How to set up facetime with iPad and MacPro that have the same Apple ID?

    I have a iPad and a MacPro both with the same Apple ID but they are different locations. I am using the iPad in NY and my husband is using the MacPro in a different location. I cannot call him on the MacPro with facetime. When I call the message says "....not available"

    Hello Susan Dietz,
    Much like calling from one phone to another, you would need a separate Apple ID to contact with FaceTime (just as calling your own phone number would direct you to your own voicemail, rather than ring your phone).

  • How to set input delay and output delay when source Synchronous

    ClkIN is the board clock which is connected to the FPGA. Clkif is the generated clock from ClkIN. The Device's clk come from Clkif. So, how to set input delay and output delay in this scene(within my understand, this is Source Synchronous)?
    The example in many document, the input delay and output delay setting all refer to board clock(within my understand, this is System Synchronous). In that scene, the input delay max = TDelay_max + Tco_max; input delay min = Tdelay_min + Tco_min; the output delay max = Tdelay_max + Tsu; output delay min = Tdelay_min - Th.
    So, I want to know how to set input/output delay in the Source Synchronous.
    In system synchronous, I set input/output delay such as:
    create_clock -period 20.000 -name ClkIN -waveform {0.000 10.000} [get_ports ClkIN]
    create_generated_clock -name Clkif -source [get_pins cfg_if/clk_tmp_reg/C] -divide_by 2 [get_pins cfg_if/clk_tmp_reg/Q]
    create_clock -period 40.000 -name VIRTUAL_clkif //make virtual clock
    set_input_delay -clock [get_clocks VIRTUAL_clkif] -min 0.530 [get_ports DIN]
    set_input_delay -clock [get_clocks VIRTUAL_clkif] -max 7.700 [get_ports DIN]
    set_output_delay -clock [get_clocks VIRTUAL_clkif] -min -0.030 [get_ports DOUT]
    set_output_delay -clock [get_clocks VIRTUAL_clkif] -max 1.800 [get_ports DOUT]
    *******************************************************************************************

    So, first. Architecturally, the clock that you forward to your external device should not come directly from the clock tree, but should be output via an ODDR with its D1 input tied to logic 1 and the D2 tied to logic 0. This guarantees minimal skew between the output data and the forwarded clock.
    ODDR #(
    .DDR_CLK_EDGE("OPPOSITE_EDGE"), // "OPPOSITE_EDGE" or "SAME_EDGE"
    .INIT(1'b0), // Initial value of Q: 1'b0 or 1'b1
    .SRTYPE("SYNC") // Set/Reset type: "SYNC" or "ASYNC"
    ) ODDR_inst (
    .Q (Clkif_ff), // 1-bit DDR output
    .C (ClkIN_BUFG), // 1-bit clock input
    .CE (1'b1), // 1-bit clock enable input
    .D1 (1'b1), // 1-bit data input (positive edge)
    .D2 (1'b0), // 1-bit data input (negative edge)
    .R (rst), // 1-bit reset
    .S (1'b0) // 1-bit set
    OBUF OBUF_inst (.I (Clkif_ff), .O (Clkif_out));
    This generates an output clock that is the same frequency as your input clock. This is consistent with your drawing, but inconsistent with your constraints - is the forwarded clock a 50MHz clock or a 25MHz clock?
    I will assume your ClkIN goes to a BUFG and generates ClkIN_BUFG.  Your first constraint generates a 50MHz clock on the ClkIN port which will propagate through the BUFG to (among other places) this ODDR.
    create_clock -period 20.000 -name ClkIN -waveform {0.000 10.000} [get_ports ClkIN]
    Assuming your forwarded clock is supposed to be 50MHz, then your 2nd command is close to correct
    create_generated_clock -name Clkif -source [get_pins cfg_if/ODDR_inst/C] -combinational  [get_pins cfg_if/ODDR_inst/Q]
    With this done, you have successfully described the forwarded clock from your design. This is the clock that goes to your device, and hence should be the clock which is used to specify your input and output constraints.
    set_input_delay -clock [get_clocks Clkif] -min 0.530 [get_ports DIN]
    set_input_delay -clock [get_clocks Clkif] -max 7.700 [get_ports DIN]
    set_output_delay -clock [get_clocks Clkif] -min -0.030 [get_ports DOUT]
    set_output_delay -clock [get_clocks Clkif] -max 1.800 [get_ports DOUT]
    If you want to get fancier, you could try adding a set_clock_latency to the forwarded clock to account for the board propagation of the clock
    set_clock_latency -source TDtrace2 [get_clocks Clkif]
    (But I haven't experimented with clock latency on a generated clock and I don't know for a fact that it works).

    Welcome!
    Last question first, as we need to know what operating system that the Mac is using.
    If you are not sure, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac, and post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.
    Two possible solutions on the power cord
    ORIGINAL OEM APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION POWER SUPPLY AC ADAPTER A1202 if you want a white power supply and white power cord to match up with the Apple device
    AC adapter for Apple AirPort A1034 Extreme B... if you don't care what color the supply and cord might be

  • C How to Set Isolation Level in the Connection String

    How to Set Isolation Level in the Connection String using the "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 Version 4.0"?
    We are trying to move from Crystal Reporting that run against a IBM DB2 database on a mainfram to SSRS reporting and we have downloaded the "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 Version 4.0" and then worked with the DB2 Administrator to create the
    Packages.  We only have access to use the "Read Uncommitted ("MSUR001") package.   We were able to connect and pull data before he removed access to the other packages, but after setting access the Connection keeps trying to use
    the 'Cursor Stability (MSCS001)" package.   How do we change the Default to the "Read Uncommitted ("MSUR001") package???   Since it is keeps defaulting to the the other package
    we can't connect to do it in the T-SQL query, it has to be set at the Connection String level.

    Hi Dannyboy1263,
    According to your description, you want to set the Transaction Isolation Level in Connection String. Right?
    In Reporting Services, the Connection String for OLE DB Connection can only contains Provider, Data Source and Initial Catalog. There's no property for setting Transaction Isolation Level in the Connection String. Based on my knowledge, we can
    only set the Transaction Isolation Level at Query level or set it by using code (C#, VB, Java...) to call the property of Connection. So unfortunately your requirement can't be achieved currently.
    Reference:
    OLE DB Connection Type (SSRS)
    Data Connections, Data Sources, and Connection Strings in Reporting Services
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

I've changed them numerous times, contacted online help, talked to phone help (who's also baffled), all to no avail. I actually saw the guide once when I first visited the site, so it exists.

  • How to set recording levels?

    I am recording electric guitars using small amps and Shure 57s and 58s through an Alesis MultiMix 8 FW. I'm looking for advice on setting the levels between the gain and level controls on the mixer and the level controls in GB. Should I set GB levels high, (maxed), and control it with the mixer, or set the mixer just below clipping and adjust with GB. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
