MainStage 2: Separate outputs for vocals and MIDI synths?

I'm using a firewire interface with 8 outputs, 8 inputs, and midi input. Can I run vocals through the audio inputs, through MainStage, then send the vocal signal to a different output (for going to a PA) than the MIDI audio signals (for going to my amp)?

Hi
Yep
Simply rout ethe appropriate channels out through the correct output pairs on your audio interface

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier 10 loaded on a Dell PC. Do I need to uninstall from the Dell before I install on a recently purchased Apple Mac Pro? There are separate disks for Mac and PC in the package.

Generally, it's ok to install on two machines as long as they are both yours and you only use one version at a time.

Separate drives for samples and audio files..?

Hello all
I am moving to Macbook Pro (previous gen) with Logic Studio after years of PC (feel like I’m standing on the edge of a precipice staring anxiously down!). Will be looking to use it live in our 3-piece band to run existing MIDI Files and live triggered BFD drum samples
Have decided on getting an Echo AudioFire 8 to handle the necessary Audio outs and MIDI connections and will be replacing our rather dated Korg 05R/W General MIDI module with virtual instruments / samples libraries
I am thinking that once the Bass (probably Orange Tree CoreBass samples through Kontakt 3) and Orchestration (still wide open to suggestions on that!) are done, they’ll be exported as Audio files or perhaps ‘frozen’ in Logic to ease the load on real-time processing
Here’s the query then:
*Assuming that the internal drive will be for OS and programs only, will having the sample libraries and exported audio song files on separate physical drives from each other pay dividends – particularly when considering that the audio tracks (probably no more than two or three stereo files) will be streaming whilst BFD is triggering live samples via MIDI input..? I’m wondering if the samples and audio separate drives situation will be considerable beneficial, or given the intended application, would this approach be merely over-speccing things?*
If that is thought to be the best approach, what do you believe to be the best way of hooking these up? I plan on using the FW400 port for the Echo AudioFire 8 and have ordered a Sonnet Express eSATA Card to hook up an external drive. Should any additional drive look to use the FW800 port or should I simply tag into the spare eSATA port on the Sonnet Express Card..? My concern with the latter is that a bottleneck would occur in the Express port and defeat the whole object
I would really appreciate any thoughts on this
Many thanks
Clive

My opinions:
If you're really only talking about 2-3 audio tracks per song, having them on a separate drive is not going to make that much difference. I'd recommend just using one drive for both audio and samples for now, you can always add another hard drive later if you're getting disk errors, or if you start using more audio tracks.
If you're looking for a good orchestral library, I recommend Vienna Symphonic Library Special Edition (about $500). VSL sounds great, and this particular set is much cheaper and still gives you a good amount of instruments/articulations.
If you do go with a third drive, use both eSATA ports. Even with a little bottlenecking, you should see substantially faster performance than with FW800. The data transfer rate of eSATA is over 3 times that of FW800.

I currently have one iTunes account for my personal iPod Touch and for my work iPhone and iPad. Can I create a separate account for work and keep my current account for my personal use - on the same computers?

I have an iTunes account for my personal iPod Touch - have had for several years. When my work provided me with an iPhone and now and iPad 2, they all fall under my personal iTunes account. Is it possible for me to create a separate account for my work devices and apps, while leaving my personal account intact? I use both my compter at home and at work to sync occasionally.

A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

Mac Pro - Separate HD for OSX and Windows?

Hello Mac Pro users - maybe some of you can help...
Are going to buy a Mac Pro soon - which will be used for graphic artwork and Windows games. Today I have a Mac and a PC - for the same purpose - and now I want to build the Mac Pro with a harddisk for OSX - and another harddisk for Windows (XP or Vista). Is it possible to have 2 separate HD's (or more) with each systems using the standard setup by Bootcamp - or do I have to make a partition on the OSX HD and then install Windows there?
I'm asking this pro forum because I can't get a clear answer here in Denmark where I live - a Apple supplier first said it was impossible - then 2 days later, that it was possible, but they will charge me for 2 hours of support - and in another forum some have told me it was easy - but have given me no help how to do it - and again some have told me to use some software called "rEFIt".
So is it possible - and hard to do?
If possible, please tell me in steps how to do...

Boot Camp will allow you to
utilise an entire disk for Windows. If you go to the
Boot Camp web page you can actually see it in a
picture…
http://www.apple.com/bootcamp/
The only thing you need to be wary of is that the
Boot Camp Assistant will not wrok from a Mac OS X
installation that is on a RAID set. As long as you
boot mac OS X from a single drive then it's really
easy.
I had a setup for awhile of two drives in RAID-0 for my Startup drive, a backup single drive, and a separate 300GB drive just for Windows.
In Windows the "Startup" drive in Control Panel would not show the RAID-0 Startup volume, but I could startup from it by hitting Option when it rebooted.

Restrict Output for Fax and Print in Sales Order

Hi,
I am having a sales order output with two output types - Fax and Print. I need to restrict one page "Terms & Conditions" to be printed only once when I select the output type as FAX. But if the output type is PRINT, I have to print the page "Terms & Conditions" after every page i.e in even numbers since it is getting printed on both sides of the paper.
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
For pages->Conditions->write condition for ,when it should trigger.
output type eq Printer.

Separate CSS for IE and Firefox

Hi all,
older versions of Robohelp generated to separate CSS files in the Wephelp for IE and Firefox. Evidently this feature was dropped somewhen. However I need it now to resolve some specific Firefox problems in a project.
I thought I could add the corrsponding script in the master page that checks for the browser and selects the CSS, but thought I should ask the forum first.. are any solutions for this already known?
Robert

If you are sure there is no way around OK but sometimes someone knows a solution. I'm not saying I do, just that sometimes someone will pop their head over the parapet with the answer.
It used to be the case that bullets were a pain for me until I found out that Firefox's own CSS had an indent that you could negate without affecting IE. Result, almost the same appearance in both browsers.
I haven't tried it but RoboHelp 10 allows you to write media queries and you can define the browswer. In theory you can have a default style for IE and other browsers but specify a rule that if the browser is Mozilla, the CSS is to be modified.
That's the cheery theory and I don't know the ins and outs of how well it would work in reality. Do let us know if you decide to take the plunge.

Dual monitor use audio output for movie and other for MBP

is it possible im watching a movie on one and wated to answer factime call or watch youtube on my mbp and just screamed out my tv speakers.....i want fual monitoring but separate audio any help?

Other alternatives include
I know on mackbooks I've seen firewire used as an input for a Weiss Dac if you're into two channel audio. Do any reiceivers take firewire as an input for hometheater? Has anyone tested Firewire outputs on their W series? I'm told that firewire is sometimes preferable to USB, I'm not sure why this would be, can USB support passthrough of DTS encoded signals?
In the case that firewire works and you Do not have a firewire source, maybe something like this would be of value It converts firewire to digital coaxial s/pdif and allows passthrough of DTS and AC3.
http://www.m-audio.com/images/global/manuals/FireWire-Audiophile_Manual.pdf
As I'm into audio the critical thing here (and what you're paying for when you purchase blue-ray, is maintaining the digital information from the disk in an unconverted form. You want a direct bit pass through, and you want as little jitter introduced to the signal as possible. You most certainly don't want the sound card getting in the way, Digtital to Analog converting and then reverse packaging it up and putting it out over the soundcard digital out. My problem is I'm not familiar enough with computer audio to know how exactly the sounds is transmitted from your blue ray drive to the digital interface you've chosen.
Anyone know why USB digital out would not be a prefered method?

Advice Needed for Audio and MIDI Controller Software

I am hoping someone may be able to give me advice on how I should approach my problem.
I am currently running a live show with audio backing tracks and a small 12 par lighting system. The light system can be controlled via standard MIDI. I am using iTunes to play back sets of backing tracks, and manually controlling the lighting system using a dedicated foot controller.
What I would like to do, is be able to use software to simultaneously play audio files and perfectly sync the lighting (fades, shots, etc. via midi) with the audio track. Ideally, I would be able to have the audio/lighting paired as discreet entities that could be grouped into sets.
i.e.
Audio-MIDI_1 = Audiotrack1 would always be paired with Lightcontroller_MIDI_events1
Audio-MIDI_2 = Audiotrack2 would always be paired with Lightcontroller_MIDI_events2
Audio-MIDI_3 = Audiotrack3 would always be paired with Lightcontroller_MIDI_events3
I could the create a set of Audio-MIDI_x tracks which could be triggered in any order.
I would like to have to option to be able to activate a single track, or have a complete group of tracks activated sequentially (but be able to stop the and start the group as needed - you never know what will happen in a live situation). It would be nice to have a time-line UI as well.
Now the final requirement: it should be able to run on a PISMO PowerBook. <cringe>
I hope I am not too confusing.
I am thinking MainStage would not be the software for this task as Leo is not an option for the Powerbook.
I have looked at QLab and showcontrolpro, but I don't think theses are right for me either.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Gary,
With a Pismo you really are confined. I've been using some software from Alien Apparatus called Solo Performer Show Controller (www.alienapparatus.com) and it has a timeline to sequence lights where you can run 32 channels of midi or dmx lighting. The only setback is it needs at least a 1 GHZ processor. There may be a company like Sonnet that has an upgrade for your processor.
The software is able to run backing tracks, send midi controls to effects units or other software, send hotkeys for apps, synchronize lyrics in a window or on an external monitor, controls a dmx fog machine, and also has a six button usb foot controller which can be configured for many things such as scrolling your songlist to select the next song, change volume of tracks, change a light scene, send a hotkey, trigger samples, etc. It is a bit pricey at just under 600 dollars but the foot control is durable, the company has excellent support and they listen to users to add features to the software.
Hope this helps
Thor

What goes where when using separate drives for data and applications?

Hello people!
In Mac Guru's "Guide to Macintosh Performance Acceleration" it states " Separating your "User" data from the Operating System and Applications is the simplest and most cost effective way to enjoy a significant performance boost at
minimal cost"...
Now how exactly do I do that?
I have a 40 GB HD with Panther on it and a 55 GB drive I want to use for the "data" drive. What goes where?
Thanks for reading!

Hello Danny:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I disagree with the premise in that article - "significant" is relative and depends on where you are. The only method I am aware of to "separate" would be to create partitions. OS X uses sophisticated algorithms to manage memory - both real and virtual. There are very few good reasons to partition an internal HD - and several that suggest you should not do that - absent a "good" reason.

Using separate drive for OS and RAID for data

We have an xServe with 3x1Tb drives set up as RAID 5. I read in one of the forums that it's not a particularly good idea to create separate OS/Apps and data volumes on it. Is there a way therefore of utilising a fourth drive and direcly attaching that as the bootable OS/Apps drive?
Is this possible? Is it a viable solution?

Hi
Yes it is possible, as a viable solution? It depends? I've done this a number of times with an external firewire drive that is the boot drive. FW800 is obviously quicker than FW400. Whichever it is you are adding latency nevertheless. Ultimately its better to do this with internal drives as they will always be quicker which you will see in improved server performance.
What I have done in the past is to RAID Mirror or Stripe (using DU) 2x500GB as well as 2x750GB and even 2x1TB drives. The other bay has a single 80GB drive as the boot drive. Clone this boot drive periodically to an external FW drive. If the boot drive fails, boot from the cloned FW drive. You can run the server like that until a replacement drive can be fitted. Clone back and you should be back to normal.
As you have a RAID card installed, for RAID 5 you need a minimum of three drives, there is not much scope as you have already filled up all your bays.

Separate tablespaces for indexes and LOBs

I have modeled my db tables with jDeveloper. Now I would like to store my tables in default tables, my indexes in a separate tablespace, and LOBs in a 3rd tablespace.
How can I best add the tablespace definitions to the table creation sql? I can't find such functionality in jDeveloper.
If jDev does not support this, does Oracle have some other tools which could do this?
Or can I set some ALTER SESSION parameter before creating the tables which would make my indexes and LOBs go to the correct tablespaces by default?

I see jDeveloper 11g has a possibility for specifying tablespaces for the tables and LOBs.
I cant figure out how to set tablespaces for indexes though. I can tell there is definately no way to set tablespace settings for primary key / foreign key indexes.
So jDev 11g does not seem to solve my problem either.
