Is Garageband the One I Need?

I just upgraded from a Powerbook G4 running Cubase SE 1.0.7 to a MacBook Pro with Leopard. Now it loooks like Cubase won't run under Leopard. Obviously I don't need a full fledged DAW like Cubase 4, but I do need some features like automated faders, VST compatibility and inline .wav editor.
I have poked around a bit with Garageband, and found it very useful for most things - basic tracking, etc - but couldn't find much in the way of the other features, like wav editing and automation (ie. I control individual levels of tracks and VST parameters automatically).
I love Garageband for getting great results easily, but still wonder - is it right for me as a one-and-only DAW?
Should I look into something more involved (ie expensive)?

features like automated faders,
open GB's help and seaarch for "curve"
VST compatibility
there is none. GB uses AudioUnits plugins.
and inline .wav editor.

  • I just got my MIDI to USB cable, fired up Garageband.  I clicked the basic lessons, tried Play.  But the lesson guy is playing.  I'm the one who needs the practice.

    G35Guy:
    Well, if that's the case, you must have a different finish on yours than I have on mine. Either that or you are extrordinarily careful when using it. Mine literally scratches when using a microfibre cloth. I would really like to know whether yours is somehow different. It would really piss me of if some people got a good quality exterior that doesn't scratch and some of us got the opposite. Did you try holding your player under a light to see if there is anything. You may just be looking at it in bad lighting. I find it hard to believe, unless your unit has a different type of plastic cover, that it hasn't received any type of scratches. Can you take a picture of it's It probably seems as though I don't believe you. That's not the case. Its just that I was so careful not to scratch it last night and it got scratched anyway. I have read of similar experiences by others who have the Vision:M as well.
    I wish I could return mine and get a different color, it really upsets me that a $300 item that is meant to be hand held and used heavily scratches this easily!! If anyone from creative is reading this, I would like to know what you plan to do about it! I didn't pay all of that money to have this player look like Sh*t when I am only using it the way it was intended and am being very careful at that!

  • FLV plays on every server except the one I need

    I have a flash video, with its swf, html, flv, playback
    controls swf, and AC_RunActiveContent.js, all referenced with
    relative links so it shouldn't matter where I put it. I tried it on
    three different servers and locally. It works just fine on two of
    the servers and locally. But on the third server--the one that
    matters--it doesn't play. I just get a blank page in the browser,
    although 'view source' shows that the correct code is there. Other
    flash videos already on this server (created by someone else using
    I-don't-know-what method) do work. The file was created in Flash
    CS3 and uses the Flash 8 player. The video was encoded using the
    On2 VP6 codec.
    Is there something that should be set on the server level to
    allow newer flash videos to play?

    You state that other "Flash Videos" on the same server work.
    Do you mean SWF's or FLV's. If other FLV's already work, then it is
    something with your encoding, or a pathing issue. If you mean
    SWF's, then it is likely that the FLV MIME-TYPE needs set up on the
    server. In this case Google FLV MIME-TYPE and you will find the
    information necessary.

  • Can set any IP on ACS 4.0 SE - accept the one I need

    We are trying to upgrade from an ACS 3.2 for Windows server to our new ACS 4.0 SE box. We have upgraded the Windows box to 4.0, backed up the configuration and restored it to the new box. We have pointed a couple of clients to the new box for testing, and can authenticate. So far so good, but when we went to the final step, assigning the IP address of the old server to the new box, we had a problem ? the ACS SE box will not let us assign the address to the local NIC ? I get an message that the configuration could not be assigned to the NIC.
    To go into detail on what was done:
    The Windows server was changed from x.x.3.45 to x.x.0.45 (we use a 255.255.248.0 subnet mask), and rebooted.
    On the ACS SE box, I used set IP to change the IP from x.x.0.20 (used for testing and setting up the configuration) to x.x.3.45. The system would not complete this step - This is when The system indicated that the configuration could not be applied to the NIC.
    I then set the NIC to DHCP, which was success fully applied. I then set the NIC to x.x.3.46, which it also accepted. At this point I thought it may be doing DNS lookup, and seeing another host name for the IP, so I deleted the PTR record for x.x.3.45, and tried setting that as the IP again. I got the same response.
    I thought it for some reason could be detecting an IP conflict, so I tried setting the IP to an address I knew was in use. As I expected, this did not work, but the error did say IP conflict ? and I was not getting that error on x.x.3.45.
    At this point I moved the connection on the ACS to the other Ethernet interface, but that did not improve the issue.
    I tried performing a reboot on the ACS box, but still could not set the desired IP address. At this point what I thought would be a 5 minute outage for VPN authentication had lasted 45 minutes, and I had to put the target address back on the Windows ACS server.
    Any idea what is causing this? I can set the IP address of the ACS SE to any IP accept for the one that I need! Since we have 70+ Cisco devices that point to x.x.3.45 for authentication, we really do not want to change the address of our ACS.

    You need to open a TAC case with Cisco for this.
    If I recalled this correctly, the old IP
    address is save into a registry file and when
    you backup the configuration, that registry
    containing the old IP address will be in there.
    When you restored the configuration, it will
    restore the old IP address along with it.
    Cisco TAC can help you modified the registry
    to fix this problem.
    You do not have this problem when you run
    Freeware TACACS+. You can change the IP of
    the box at anytime and not breaking anything.

  • Is Aperture the one I need?

    Hello,
    I hear many good words about Aperture as easy to use photos editing software as well as good database for keeping a pictures library.
    Most probably, I am not going to use it for editing pictures. However, I am looking for good program to keep organized library of shots I have.
    I store all my original shots, which 99% are in RAW (CR2) on DVDs and external HDDs.
    Currently I have slightly more than 350 000 pictures I would like to get to the library and simplify finding ones as well as organized better.
    *What I want?*
    I want the software to keep thumbnails only on local computer along with exif data and keywords (keywords defined to thumbnails linked to the pictures stored on external storages). When I click on thumbnail to open the original picture the software would respond with DVD/HDD number or name assigned and request to connect required media.
    Is the Aperture able to work in this way?
    If not, do you know the software that is able to do it?
    Thank you,
    Ramunas

    To add to Coqui's informative answer:
    I believe Aperture will do what you want and do it well.
    In Aperture-speak, what you want to do is set up a referenced Library ("referenced" means the original files you import are stored wherever on your system you specify (including detachable media); "Library" refers to the database of information that Aperture maintains about all the files you import(including thumbnails)).
    You need to find out what location information Aperture provides for referenced Masters (the "Master" is the originally imported file, prior to any development or editing (in Aperture-speak, one "adjusts" photos, one doesn't "edit" them -- and there is a reason for the distinction). I'm pretty sure Aperture can tell you on which drive a Master resides (your thumbnail and metadata live in the Library). I do not know if it can specify DVD. (If it does not, you could always use a keyword.)
    I would start with this section of the User Manual (it is available on-line):
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=5%26sec tion=16%26hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:Aperture-UserManual-91292BSR-1037584
    Here is a snippet:
    +_Working with Referenced Images_+
    +Masters for images that you import as referenced images may reside in many different locations on your hard disk storage devices instead of in the single location of your main Aperture Library file. At times, you may need to determine which images are referenced images in order to readily locate them in the Finder. Aperture provides many ways to identify, search for, and move referenced images.+
    When you use a referenced (rather than managed) Masters, you give yourself the ability to create both the +file storage structure+ as well as the +image storage structure+. Understanding this difference will be a key to successfully doing what you want. The +file storage structure+ is what you are asking about. The +image storage structure+ is what you create within your Library as you organize your images with Projects, Albums, Folders, Labels, Ratings, Keywords and more.
    As a bonus, besides being an excellent digital asset management tool, Aperture is an excellent (state-of-the-art) raw converter and image developer.
    Good luck.

  • Which adobe to use, I was told to down load the newer version and the add/remove folder says I have 10.1.82.76, is tehis the one I need?

    The latest update from Firefox said I HAD to update Adobe or there would be a security problem. I replied to the answer about the edit bar, but have not received a reply:
    This is what I wrote:
    Thank you for helping me. I had no idea how to do that. Now if you can tell me about the adobe issue I would so appreciate it. I do use Firefox and I went to add/remove to see which version and could not find the Adobe 10.1.82.76 it said I had??? Then I just went back and it is there. I was told I HAD to update the Adobe because of a security issue, but when I went to add it, it said warning the program I was about to add might be dangerous????? So I have it on the down load thing, I have not told it to run, but it shows up in my add/remove folder and I am SO confused??? Do I need to run it? I went to the adobe site and found it when I could not find the "edit" button. I am not sure if I have the right version. It said certain versions would not run with Firefox and I do not want to mess up my computer.

    From my downloads folder it recognizes the file as a Pages document, I can preview the entire document, but I try to open the file in multiple ways (from right click, to open from preview, from inside pages) and it refuses to open.  The "opening" prompt comes up, fills ~90% and then I eventually get the SBBOD.  It will fail out if given long enough to think it through or i need to force quit.

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.

  • Hi.  I down load all of my pictures to iPhoto.  I was removing some even folders to make room, but DID NOT delete any of the ones I needed (and there are a lot of photos as I am a photographer just starting out).  All of my photos are gone.  ALL of them.

         Can anyone help me.  All of my photos from iPhoto are gone.  There are three weddings that I photographed and may other sessions (I am a brand new photographer and this is going to kill my business).  I am so sick to my stomach.  I was deleting some even files due to the fact that the start up disk was almost full but DID NOT delete everything.  I finished what I was doing and then went to dinner.  I came home to do more editing and EVERYTHING is gone.  EVERYTHING, but the iphoto program was still there.  Is there any chance that these pictures could still be somewhere on the hard drive?
    Thank you,
    Kari

    Did you use the finder to delete any photos that are in iPhoto?
    If so you have trashed your library - you choices are to put it back EXACTLY like it was, restore your backup or start over (right click on the iPhoto library and show package contents, drag the masters folder to the desktop, create a new library and start importing
    NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - ONLY use iPhoto to manage yoru photos
