Need help with PreSonus Firebox, MIDI, and inputs and outputs

Hey everybody, I'm new, and I just recently got Logic Pro 8 and a PreSonus Firebox. I have had no trouble with recording MIDI in Logic, but I have had problems with recording audio devices, like a guitar or a bass.
When I record MIDI, I hear it perfectly through the speakers on the Mac, and it records just fine. But the guitar won't come through. I have tried changing the core audio device to "PreSonus Firebox," in which case I still can't hear the guitar, but it records. Once it's been changed to this device, I can't hear anything else I've recorded either, like the MIDI. Once I've changed it back to "Built in input," I can hear everything, including the recorded guitar.
So the problem is, why can't I make Firebox my input, and my computer the output, so I can play through the Firebox and hear it on the computer?
Here is how everything is laid out: I have a Casio keyboard connected by MIDI through the Firebox, which is connected to my Macbook Pro through FireWire. There is also a guitar plugged into the Firebox. Please help, I'm really excited to start recording!

sorry I'm not getting a few things....
1) how do I create a midi object?
you create the midi object in the midi inst layer of your environment. at the top left under the menu that says "new" select the very 1st thing in the list, "instrument" (midi instrument)
2) where do I assign the midi output?
after you create the instrument the perameters box opens on the left. you assign the port and channel there
5) where are the audio outs?
to what? the roland? doesn't it have audio output?
I've been reading the manual and have tried various
forums.... been trying to get this since last
night.... my brain. I know it's gotta be simple...
not real simple but not real hard either

Need help with clickbios ii terminolgy and values. Z77A-GD65 / 3770k

Hello All
I recently purchased a Z77A-GD65 board and after searching I've found the differences in terminology between this and my previous Asus board but still have a couple of settings I cant find any info on.
System Specs:
motherboard: msi z77a-gd65
cpu: intel 3770k
ram: corsair vengeance 2133mhz 1.5v
psu: corsair 850w
First things first is I believe I am running in turbo oc mode. I've selected the oc genie tab on the center right of the bios screen and proceeded to change settings there. With cpu voltage on auto and vdroop set to 50% at 4.6ghz. (I'll try and get screenshots of bios settings soon)
The following are the terms I need help with:
In the my oc genie section;
1. Long duration power limit
2. Long duration maintained
3. Short duration power limit
In the main overclocking section;
4. Digital Compensation level (not in owners manual, options auto/high)
5. Cpu core ocp expander (enabled for overclock 4.5ghz+?)
In the CPU Features section;
6. long duration power limit w (does "w" stand for watts?)
7. long duration maintained s (does "s" stand for seconds?)
8. short duration power limit
9. primary plane current limit a (does "a" stand for amps?)
10. secondary plane current limit
11. primary plane turbo power limit
12. secondary plane turbo power
I know those are a lot of settings, but would appreciate any simple definitions as to what they do and recommended values for mild overclocking (4.5-4.80)
Also on my previous board (Asus P8P67 Pro) my 3770k was stable in prime95 for 18 hrs at 4.5ghz fixed 1.155v with only ram timings put in manually and LLC set to extreme.(or whatever max is called in asus bios) Voltage was fixed and everything else was defailts.

Well I'm back. Been digging around for a few days and found some answers to my questions.
First things first s that for some reason I could not adjust voltage values with the + or - symbols. Clearing cmos did not help this. I had to reflash the bios to get this functionality back as well as clearing cmos before and after the flash.
So I figured out the values in the oc genie section are the same as the normal section but only used when your using the oc genie. (numbers 1-3)
Digital compensation level and ocp expander should be set to high and enabled respectively when going for higher overclocks. (4 and 5)
Now for the rest of my questions ( 6 through 12) I have found suggested settings and some info after hours and hours of searching but still have a couple of questions about them.
Long/short duration power limit, and primary/secondary plane turbo limit. I see suggestion settings of 250 or 255. I take it this is simply max supplied watts to the chip? If so why the 250/255 values? Is that the highest the board will give? Is plane turbo limit related to the enhanced turbo stated and how much wattage can be drawn there while the other limit is for any non turbo frequencies?
Long duration maintained, I've seen 60 suggested a lot. Why is this?
There's not an over abundance of info on these boards as compared to asus so it seems info is a little less documented and video tutorials explaining things are next to none.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Need Help with External Hard drives and too much music

I am not terribly tech-savvy, and I need your help. I have a G5 PPC dual processor with an internal 250GB drive. I have two seagate firewire/USB2 external hard drives. One is 250GB and one is 350GB. I want to know how to use them to get my Mac to run faster and better.
My original hard drive is 7GB shy of being full. Almost half of this is my itunes library which is over 100GB. The older (250GB) hard drive has about 150GB of photos/videos.
My Mac is running slow as molasses and when I power up the external hard drives it slows down to what I recall my original Mac Plus ran like.
I use the G5 primarily to work with photos, illustrations and creating the occasional DVD with video and photos. the apps I use most often are Photoshop, Illustrator and Painter. I always listen to music while work.
I hope all of this information is helpful! Here is my question:
What is the best way for me to set up and use these external hard drives to return my G5 to its original blazing (to me) fast speed?
PPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I think you should look at adding two 500GB internal drives. I'd say Maxtor MaxLine Pro for cost, but they also run much warmer (43ºC even when nearly doing zilch) so I'd go with WD RE2 500GB for $40 ea. more.
dump whatever you don't need, trash anything that is hogging space and is just temp file or useless cache. Web browsers can leave behind a ton of small files eating up tens of MBs.
Use SuperDuper to backup/clone your drive.
Disk Warrior 4 to repair (after it gets to 15% free, or just forget for now).
A 250GB drive formats to 240GB and you have ~3% free it looks like.
For every data drive plan to have two backup drives.
Keep your boot drive to 40% used.
And your data drive to 60%.
Backups can go a little higher.
Drives are cheap and inexpensive, especially for the space and performance. And they have improved SATA over the years it has been out.
By doing a backup followed by erasing your drive, and then restoring it, using SuperDuper, which optimizes the organization, skips copying temp files that aren't needed, it also defragments your files. I would do backup daily to different sets that you "rotate." And before any OS update. And do the erase and restore probably every 2 months.
Make sure you keep one drive partition somewhere that is just your disk utility emergency boot drive that is not a copy of working system, used for doing repairs like running Disk Warrior and Disk Utility.
You may need to repair; backup; even erase and restore your external drives. Rather than spend on vendor made case, just pick up a good FireWire case either with drive, or bare (and add your own). I think it'd add 500GB FW drive though.
Why?
To begin backup of your current drive. To leave your other FW drives "as is" for now.
Then install a new internal 500GB drive as well so you now have a good current backup, and you have moved your data off 250GB to 500GB. If anything happens, you have one off line FW backup.
Then begin to clean up, organize, and get your FW drives working. It sure sounds like they have had some directory or file problems.
You can find a lot of Firewire and SATA drive choices over at OWC:

Need help with ext. SWF and XML

I'm trying to create an External SWF to load into my main
site (photography).
Home | Portfolio | Published Work | Bio | Contact
The SWF I want to load externally is Portfolio because it has
5 sections
Those 5 sections are:
-Editorial
-Adventure
-Fly Fishing
-Multimedia
-Weddings
I'm looking to keep this dynamic as possible, but I'm one of
those guys who doesn't write code from scratch, but knows AS well
enough to modify a base or a generic template if ever given. It
would be easier to use one subsection as an example, which could be
applied to all others.
e.g. "Fly Fishing" 1-Main container; 5-10 thumbnails (1
dyanamic thumbnailcontainer)
- I don't know XML (but can modify it). basically having an
ID tag for each image, possibly dynamically generate a thumbnail
too. Also have a spot for dynamic text to load in (captions with
multiple text lines for images upon onRelease - maybe this could be
it's own MC that loads on top of the main photo container)
- on (release) on a thumbnail: there would be a little
information icon that would appear. If you mouse over, it would
overlay a layer over that specific ID photo, and the text appear.
RollOut it would fade out the layer above that specific ID photo.
- Transition: FadeOut/Blur/Exposure Blur, something
interesting to that nature.
- Thumbnails: is it just easier to create thumbnail images
manually, and just create a separate container?
- Image folders: I would imagine each section would have
it's own watch folder. For example "Fly Fishing" would be a folder
"/swfImg_flyFishing/", but perhaps having one XML file.
- XML file details
id
location
caption summary
title
As you can see, if I had one template to build off of, I
could repeat it self for the others. I need help and if there is a
flash component (free or purchase) that does at least 70% of what I
need, please share information. thank you!Portfolio

I know doing a pushback to the client requires Flex Data
Services, but since I don't use FDS I can't tell you exactly how.
But look in the documentation about "pushing" data to the client.
Once you've figured out how to do that, you can trigger that push
once you've finished editing the xml file. You may want to ask over
in the FDS forum.

New logic user, need help with multi-channel inst and aux strips.

Greetings all,
So I just purchased a new Mac Pro 2.66 and Logic Pro 7 to run with it. I have been a long time Nuendo/Cubase user on the PC side of things but since I got the Mac I wanted a DAW that was supported fully for the apple platform.
Anyways, its a world of difference and I am very confused as I wrap my head around the learning curve, so in the meantime I have one important question maybe some one could help me with.
The question is regarding Aux channel stips for Multi channel instruments. In this scenario I am working with Battery 3, it took me a while to understand that I actually needed to create these aux channels just to have seperate outs in Battery which seems really wierd and overly time consuming.
As an example in Nuendo once you create the instance of Battery, the audio mixer automatically just creates the corresponding stereo and mono channels instantly. This obviously makes is a sinch to assign Batteries pads to seperate outs for eq/comps for seperate sounds.
Now the Battery manual doesnt even make a reference to Aux channels for assigning outs in Logic, I actually had to do a Google search to figure this out.
Anways, sorry for rambling...
Here is the main issue.... How can I quickly and easily create multiple Aux's? In the mixer there is really only enough room in there to add like 1 more Aux strip, if I want to add more than that I need to re-arrange the entire global mixer which seems like a crazy system, surely there must be a more convenient method for getting muti-channel audio instruments set up quicker.
Any help you can assist with would be exceptional!
Thanks in advance.

Not sure what exactly your question is, especially since I don't use battery. But as far as creating aux tracks:
• go to the audio layer of the environment (not the track mixer window), find the two defalt aux tracks
• Highlight all tracks to the right of the aux tracks (these should be bus and output tracks), and drag to the right far enough to fit in a bunch of aux tracks; you might even want to drag the all underneath the aux tracks, if your screen accomodates
• use the key command shift-command-a multiples times to create several new "audio objects", and double click each one to expand
• highlight all the new objects and select options/clean up/ align objects (makes it look nicer)
• still highlighted, over in the parameters section (left side) select a channel, setting it to the highest number aux (at this point, probably "aux 3")
• now individual set the channel for each aux track – you'll see that now you have available "aux 4"; next time you set a successive track you'll see "aux 5" and so on
• once you've got things set up the way you want, save it as a template so you don't have to do this again later

Need help with Garage Band 11 and my TASCAM interface recording Real Instrument

I am using a TASCAM US-122 interface with garage band 11 on a mac at 32 bit running osx 10.6.6. Garage Band preferences / audio input and output set to TASCAM (which means it recognizes it) , but when using Real Instrument for the TASCAM and the track is armed , etc... the record function works when started except "no sound" from the device I am running thru TASCAM is being detected.
I am getting sound out of the TASCAM and simply running an AKAI mpc beat as a test. I am sure there is something simple I have yet to do but not sure what it is in Garage Band.
Can you help ? Thanks. GARY

with the real instrument track selected...
make sure the info pane is showing on the right (click the little "i" on the bottom right to open it; "Real Instrument" should be highlighted in blue on top).
On the bottom of the info pane it says "Input Source" and "Monitor."
Make sure the Input Source is set to the Tascam channel you're using (the channel, mono or stereo, that you've plugged your MPC into).
And if you want to hear it as you record, make sure the Monitor is set to ON.

Need HELP with JTree created by user input

I have been trying to create code that takes a user input string
ex: a:b,c;b:g,h,j;g:k,m;b:u
note: (the above string is then stored into a string array such in the format a:bc;b:ghj;g:km;b:u after it is verified that the hierarchy order is correct)
The string is read in such that the any value before the : is a parent and its childern continue until a ; is found. Anyway verifying the sting I have accomplished and I have been able to input the string into a modified binary tree as long as there are only 2 childern per parent and graphically represents its structure of hierarchy. The problem is that each parent can have more the two childern.
I have been working with the BTree class and find its output similar to what I am wanting which would represent a hierarchy of objects (files, employees, etc...) anyway I have been stumped as to how to get the above string into a format that can then create the correct JTree output without hard code.
If any one has any suggestions on how to turn the data, in the string array into a usable format to create the correct JTree output, I would greatly appreciate it.
In the above example the string array, a:bc;b:ghj;g:km;b:u would have a desired ouput of
a
..b
....g
......k
......m
....h
....j
....u
..c

Need help with configuring web root and root url URL

Hello Folks,
I have been trying for a while to the flex 4 tutorial which asks you to connect to a mysql database. I have been able to configure the DB but cannot figure out what my web root and root url should be. Is there a web service that needs to be deployed or started. Would it be the IP address of the database that I created ( I tried that ) . I get the idea that an apache service must be started somehow on my flex environment and then I must find the root of the apache server. I dont see an apache directory anywhere. I am finding this difficult to know where to begin.

Hi,
First you need to be running a web server on your computer something like wamp/mamp is usually the better choice as most people have had the best success with this server setup(and it has all the current services like php and myssql)
When you use the wizard the path to your webroot is usually whre you located the wamp/mamp install, for windows it maybe something like c:\wamp\www not 100% sure about macs but I think the 'www' folder on a mac is 'htdocs'.
your url is either http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1.

Need help with Olympus E-M1 and ACR 8.3 Results

Hi:
1. I'm fairly familiar with photoshop and ACR, but definitely not an expert.   I'm also very familiar with the Olympus RAW files since the E-5 (I've owned the E-5, E-M5 and several Pens); I now recently purchased the E-M1 and I've been having problems getting decent images out of the RAW files (compared to the prior Olympus RAW files).
2. Problem: it just "feels" that the overall tone curve is more abrupt, especially in the highlights.    With the prior Olympus RAW files, the transition from moving the exposure slider to the right and then getting blown out highlights was more gradual;   there just seems to be an overt decrease in "headroom" when dealing with highlights in the E-M1 RAW files.   I know this makes no sense in that the dynamic range is supposed to be greater with this camera compared to the prior ones.
3. Problem: In relation to the above issue, it also seems that the highlight slider is not as specific as it used to be in that when I move it to the left, more of the histogram seems to be affected as opposed to the bright / highlight region.   It now seems to basically counteract any adjustments made to the exposure.   Again, this may be my imagination but it just feels this way.
4. Problem: In relation to the above issue, the other strange observation I've had is that although the histogram of the image shows no clipping, the image may have very bright areas with almost imperceptible detail;   when I click on it and view that data point within curves, it shows it to be well below 255.    In my lame flower shot example (it's not a good example but I couldn't find anything else right now), I would have guessed that in the brighest petal area, that it would be something like 250, but it's only 220.   But when I zoom in, there's really no texure or detail or data.
5. The above issue in re: highlight rendering and control may or may not be related but it's the first time, I've been having issues and I've never had such problems with either ACR or prior Olympus cameras and thus I'm wondering if this is some issue with how ACR interprets the E-M1 file. I did do some comparison with Capture One 7 and that does a definitely better job of highlight recovery in that it seems to more preferentially target just the highlights and definitely does a better job with color rendition.   I have Olympus Viewer 3, but it's so slow and lame, that I haven't done much testing with it.   Any thoughts and advice much much appreciated.

Also, you might want to upload your raw file, a full-size JPG of what you posted, above, and an example from C1 to www.dropbox.com and post a public link, here, for others to experiment with.
