About Busses and Output ???

I am having one of those dumbhead evenings... suddenly, I am confused about using a Bus and setting the Output.
I setup a Bus for reverb and activated a Send to it. Do I set my I/O to "No Output" or do I keep it at "Output 1-2"? The Bus is going to "Output 1-2" also.
Does the Bus in this case only sending the reverb to Output?

Hi
in Logic 8 there are no trason to use Busses...
you just use Auxiliary channel that can be setted as:
INPUT = Bus
OUT = everything you need to routing...
if you want select 1-2 the reverber will goes in the MIX... if you don't select Output *you never will be able to listen the Reverb return*
The Logic Mixer is very similar to a Hardware Mixer...
Using Auxiliary Channel for buss EFECTS is the best way... you can also use the Aux sends for adding Special FX... I.E. a Delay on AUX-Bus can be use its sends for revrberating the Delay!

Query about "enable" and output rendering

Hi - I'm working on what I hope is the penultimate cut of a filmed stage musical. It's a combination of footage from three camera angles over 2 performances. I've allocated a video track to each camera, and I'm using opacity changes to switch from one angle to another, e.g. to switch from one "over-the-shoulder" view to the other, or from a close-up on one performer to a medium wide of the chorus, and so on.
Except for transitions I'm only using footage from one camera at a time (no split-screen), but the footage from all the cameras is still present in their own tracks. I've changed my mind about one angle vs. another in previous cuts and I want to leave all the footage there because I might make a different choice after feedback from the customer.
This does put a bit of a load on PPro when having to render output, with roughly two-thirds of the footage not even required in the output - it's still there, but with opacity set to 0%. If I de-select "Enable" in the clip properties for those clips I've chosen not to use in this cut, does that tell PPro to ignore it when rendering output, and consequently reduce the rendering workload? It might seem obvious, but I'd like to be sure before I start disabling hundreds of clips.
PPro 5.5.2
Win 7 Pro SP1
Core i5
8GB RAM
c: - 100GB - OS + programs
i: - 500GB - media
n: - 500GB - renders, etc
cheers

OK - thanks. Maybe I'll try one output with all clips enabled, then another with clips disabled, and compare the results.

BIG QUESTION ABOUT BUSSES AND SAVING DSP MUST READ

I have a major issue that i need to resolve. I created a really nice bass line to a track but i would like to save the plugin settings and move them to a bus just incase i want to use the same effects again to save dsp. When i remove the original plugins from the bassline audio instrument track and move them to the buss (then play the) bass line with the audio instrment effects empty just using the buss effects that i originally made it sound completely different. As if all the wormth of the sound went away? Why is this? i know on projects that i work on when they get later into the project i always get a dsp issue.
What is the best way to use repeated plugin settings instead of copy and pasting them?

Hi,
Are you using a 'send' to the bus, or are you routing the entire channel to the bus? (e.g. setting channel output to 'Output1-2' but 'Bus 1' etc). I would suggest routing the entire signal.
Also, have you checked the settings are the same on the bus effects. Some presets will have a completely different dry/wet mix when inserted into a bus, rather than an audio or audio instrument channel. This is especially the case for reverbs, delays etc.
With regards to using 'Save as Channel Strip' options, I don't think you can save a strip from one audio object type, and have it available to another. That is, you can't save an audio or audio instrument channel strip and load it into a Bus, at least the last time I looked! I sometimes wish you could, though...
Cheers,
Bryan

Obviously confused about input and output resolutions

I have a screen recording (using iShowU HD Pro). Here's the info of that file:
Dimensions: 1024x812
Codecs: Apple Intermediate Codec
Color profile: HD (1-1-1)
Duration 2:07 Total bit Rate: 19,498
I import the file to FCE and place it on the timeline, and then export using QuickTime Conversion:
I pick format QuickTIme Movie: and then inside the "Options"
Compression: H.264
Quality: High
Key frame Rate: 25
Frame recordering: yes
Encoding mode: Multi-pass
Dimensions 1024X812
After the export, the info on the new file is this:
Dimensions: 1024-812
Codecs: linear PCM, H.264
Color profile: HD (1-1-1)
Duration: 2:07
Audio Channels: 2
Total bit rate: 2,338
Yet the screen cast is distorted there are black bars on each side of the movie, with the result being that the image is "squished"
Obviously I'm missing a setting somewhere. How do I get my output to have the same shape as my input?

That frame size is nonstandard and isn't supported for editing within FCE. You should first use the free MPEG Streamclip to convert to a frame size that the program supports such as 1280x720. Then export as 1280x720 or another 16:9 frame size.

Basic questions about high-quality output and PDFs

I do volunteer work in a non-profit that interfaces with local county government. We've been discussing a project to produce an atlas-type information as a service to the residents. The maps would be rendered by the GIS software the county uses (ESRI's Arc suite). The question is what file format should we ask for given the high-quality print and plot output we have in mind and our desire to add some simple vector markup in some cases to the maps. The markup, when used, would be simple circles, rectangles, arrows or text.
Our idea is the do most of the printing and plotting ourselves (we'd use something like a local Kinkos). This allows is to control paper sizes. In addition, we might want to crop the map and upscale a bit so we need to be careful of data density (dpi). The question is what file format do we request from the county?
Obviously we can ask for PDFs but, as a novice with that output, I don't fully understand 1) its Tools capability (but I am learning about it) and 2) how to control data density.
Since I think its best to envision a PDF as a "box" for other data, is the quality of the output going to be determined by the data density of the object inside the PDF?
I know I may not be very clear so please help me get clear on the question if I haven't expressed it well here.
BTW, I know I can place a PDF into an AI object and then add the vector stuff if needed, but I don't know from a workflow perspective if that's the best way to assure hight quality output.
Thanks
Tom
P.S. We may end up with GIS viewing software as we move forward (ESRI has a grant program for non-profits). All this would mean would be we would be the ones making the decision about output format but the question on workflow would still remain.

4. Finally, with CDs burned this way through iTunes, does iTunes place some sort of DRM on the burned CDs? If so, what practical effect does that DRM have on my burned CD (how does it limit the functionality of the CD?
No, so no limits to functionality.

Plug-ins on inserts, busses, auxes, and outputs

when the plug-ins are placed on inserts, busses, auxes, and outputs BUT in BYPASS mode, do they use any portion of CPU/RAM (or processing power)?
should i be removing them instead of just selecting BYPASS...I do quite a bit of A/B ing.
According to LP8 manual BYPASS mode does not really help with latency.
"Note: In the All mode, bypassing plug-ins on busses, auxes, and outputs will not
eliminate the latency that they create. You must actually remove these plug-ins from
the Insert slots to eliminate latency."
Thanks

hi
it does save cpu!
Have a good weekend

Alright I give! I need some help with groups/busses and more please..

Hi all,
Well, its now been a few weeks of my off and on testing with my new Logic Rig, I have every plug I can transfer over to UB that I can and now am trying to get deeper into things.
First I struggled with learning the environment (I still dont get it fully) but now I am really confused about group and fx tracks.
- Am I missing something or is everything just a buss turned into a group? This also included creating an FX track?
If this is the case then its not nearly as complex as I think it is but I cant figure certain things out with the way logic handles naming in regards to its busses.
Lets say I want to create a sidechain group. I take an audio track change it to represent buss (1), I then rename buss 1 to SC-GROUP, now any window that I drop down to find the newly names SC-GROUP always remains named as buss (1). This even happens when I rename the buss direct from the audio environment.
I must be missing something, whats been confusing the heck out of me is that no matter how I try and name things they always remain their original names in any menues as the example of the buss (1), so how do I rename these channels so I can clearly know exactly where I am routing audio?
So lets summarise where I am lost so far hehe.
1. Are groups really just empty busses renamed to act as a group?
2. How can I rename a buss/group and be able to see the renamed channel in the menues.
and for the 3rd new question of sorts...
3. FX Sends, again is this just a buss that has an AU inserted into its channel and then rout the insert of an additional audio channel to the buss with the FX inserted?
and now my last uestion of the day if I have not confused you to death so far
Why is it that when I add a AU lets say battery as instrument 1, when I add another in the window and I rerout an instrum,ent track the next AU shows up at the bottom of the list instead of inst. 2?
If I am not explaining myself clearly enough for any of my examples let me know so I can try to better represent my questions. I am still so new to Logic and still have yet to get the bulk of the simple operations down just yet..
Thanks again for all your asistance!

Thank you guys,
So if I understand right, a sub buss is nothing more than a routing the output of a few channels to a buss to control a few aspects like I had mentioned compressing an entire group of tracks EG: a drum buss (in this situation a drum sub buss?).
So I will have to reffer to the manual again to read the details on an actual group since it does seem there is a difference EG: the group can actually manipulate the faders of channels routed to the group?
FX busses seem to be just that, slap an FX info either and AUX channel or a buss and then set the insert of that AUX or buss desired.
The reason I asked about naming is that lets say I have 6 effects tracks I wish to use lets say as an example AUX1=Short Delay, AUX2=Long Filter Delay, AUX3=Slap Verb, AUX4=Long Verb and so forth.
When I go to actually use these inserts I need to assume I know exactly what AUX I assigned each effect to, if I could simply rename this AUX track to refference the effect it would make so much more sense then trying to remember what AUX5 was.
In regards to my last question here is a bit more of a detailed explanation, please bare with me as I am not in front of my computer.
1. I add battery into Audio Instrument-1
2. I then configure my environemt to use my AUXs I already have inplace for audio routing.
3. I then edit the Audio window create the midi for a new multi-instrument.
4. I come back to the main arrange window and hold-click on the next available audio-instrument and in the instrument window battery will be instrument 1 out of how ever many blanks apear EG:25+
5. Now I go to add lets say Stylus RMX into the next available mutli audio instrument. I then repeat steps 2,3,4.
Now when I get to step 4 this time instead of audio instrument 2 from the lint being Stylus it shows up as the last possible instrument in the drop list that appears under audio instrument from hold-click on the audio-instrument track.
Its just odd, it should be instrument 2, but instead it shows up as the last possible choice.
Maybe I am doing something wrong, even sometimes when I grab on of batteries midi tracks and create next object I will get a random audio track in there out of no where, or maybe its just a bug with battery.
Any ideas? If I still am not describing this right, I will post a step by step this eve of exactly the steps I am taking.
Thanks again, this forum has been very helpful in getting me going with the questions I just cant seem to get around from my Nuendo work flow.
Cheers!

How do I make a VI that contols a 6534 card take less time to load 1Mbyte and output data ?

Hello-
I'm developing a pattern generation burst mode type VI that reads byte characters from a text file, manipulates the bytes that it reads and then outputs the data from a 6534 card. The REQ1 pin is pulled high which makes the card continually output data until the internal buffer is empty. An internal clock is used. The problem is that the size of the file that is read by the VI can be relatively large, in the 1MByte range. After the VI manipulation, the output array is 16 times larger than the input string. So, when the VI reads a 1MByte text file, the output array contains 16 million entries (each array entry is 3 bits by the way). It takes about 20 seco
nds to run and output data from the 6534 even when reading files that are 200kbyte or so. I'm outputting the data at 5Mbps. I'm not sure where all the delay is coming from. Using the 'Profile VI" function under the 'Tools' menu shows a snapshot of time that really doesn't help me since it only shows that the time is spent in my VI. Is this just the result of loading large files ? Or, is there a way to preload the 1MByte file into the 32MB of RAM on the 6534 card before the VI is actually run. What I mean is that I do have the option in my system to have a time when all text files will somehow be loaded into the 6534 memory, during some initialization period, and then the VI would be run with the text file already loaded. This of course assumes that the delay is loading the file from the harddrive, but since the harddrive transfer speed is fast, I have no idea where to speed things up. Any ideas ? Thanks !

Your question actually belongs to the Measurement Devices >> Digital IO section since it concerns operating the 653x family of digital boards. You will see other related questions and answers there. In the future, please direct your digital questions to that forum.
If you are trying to profile your VI, you can break it into different pieces. For instance, you can make a subVI out of the file data manipulation.
Now, are you doing pattern generation or burst mode handshaking output? From your description of the signal connections, it looks like burst mode. You can double-check in the 653x User Manual at the http://www.ni.com/manuals pages. Still, it looks like you could accomplish your task with pattern generation. There are example VIs for both operations that
I suggest you start with. They are located in the LabVIEW >> Examples >> Daq >> Digital >> 653x.llb directory.
It also sounds like you are doing a single buffered operation, where you have a set amount of data that you want to output, and once done, the VI will stop. You are preloading the data to the buffer at DIO Write.vi before the 6534 actually outputs the data with DIO Start.vi when you program like the examples.
Thus, start with the appropriate example and then add the File I/O to it. You can even test with a smaller file to see the effects. You will also find useful information concerning the 6534 in the KnowledgeBase, particularly KnowledgeBase 298CGF9M "How Many Samples of Data Can I Store in the Onboard Memory of the NI 6534?". You can find this online by going to the http://www.ni.com/support and choosing KnowledgeBase from the Technical Resources pull-down menu. Then, type in keywords to search for, such as "6534".

How can I use a different driver for audio input and output?

I did a search of course, and came up with something about an aggregate. I have no idea what this is, how to do it, or if it would even work for me.
What I am trying to do is:
1) Record into Logic Express using my Tascam US-122.
2) Have playback come out of my computer sound system, not the Tascam.
If I go over to the Audio setup window, I can only record when the driver is set to Tascam US-122. Likewise, I can only listen to sound when my Built-In Audio is selected. It gets rather annoying going between the two.
So, would this aggregate thing solve my problem? If so, how do I do it? Thanks for any help!
-allen

Yes it should do what you want.
Go to "Audio Midi Setup", and go to the Audio menu and click "Open Aggregate Device Editor". The interface is pretty simple but if you do get stuck, just use the help function in Audio Midi Setup, as it has a step by step guide.
Then when you return to logic, go to the Preferences>Audio>Drivers section and select Aggregate Device as the new driver rather than either the built in sound or the tascam. Then the inputs and outputs will apply to BOTH devices.

How to use a bluetooth cellphone for audio input and output

Hello, I was wondering how to set-up my Mac Book so that I can use my bluetooth cellphone for audio in and audio out. Ideally, I would like to use my handset for talking on iChat and Skype.

How do I create an xControl with multiple inputs and outputs?

Hello,
i am trying to write a new Xcontrol Element. In the data model I can create data types using the cluster to create compound types, eg an int and an int array. But how do I create an xcontrol which has multiple data inputs and outputs?
Kind Regards

Limping_Twerp wrote:
Alright: I see: An xcontrol is either an input OR an output. How do I achieve an output? Secondly: So you are saying the only Elements that can have multiple inputs and outputs are VIs?
Can you take a few steps back and explain what you are actually trying to do. SubVIs and Xcontrols have nothing in common and it is not clear why you even try to compare them side by side (e.g. in terms of the number of connectors).
Your questions about input or output tell us that you seems to have some misconceptions about xcontrols. Xcontrols are like regular controls, except they have some built-in intelligence that you can program. Most front panel object can be either controls or indicators and the same is true for Xcontrol. You create an Xcontrol, and after placing it on the front panel you can decide if it should be a control (where the code reads the value) or an indicator (were the code writes values to it). When you define the xcontrol facade, you also need to program how the visuals change if it is changed from control to indicator or vice versa.
As a first step, you should opend the example finder and look at some xcontrol examples.
Again, what are you actually trying to do?

Input Tax and Output Tax calculating wrong figures

Hi,
I have created Input Tax and Output Tax codes in SAP.
Input Tax- 3%
Output Tax- 4%
All the configuration is done as required. But when I am posting the Purchase and Sales Invoice, the tax amount is not calculating correctly.
For example:
Input Tax Calculation should be:
Vendor A/C.............. Cr 30000-
Expense A/C............ Dr 29100
Input Tax A/C............ Dr 900 (@3% on 30000)
Input Tax Calculation in SAP:
Vendor A/C.............. Cr 30000-
Expense A/C............ Dr 29126.21
Input Tax A/C............ Dr 873.79 (@3% on 30000)
The same is happening to Output Tax transactions.
Please advice.

My understanding about the Input Tax and Output Tax was wrong. In the issue reported
Input Tax Calculation should be:
Vendor A/C.............. Cr 30000-
Expense A/C............ Dr 29100
Input Tax A/C............ Dr 900 (@3% on 30000)---my understanding was wrong.
Input Tax 3% should be charged on Expense amount, in this case Rs 30000. But because in the editing option calculate tax on net amount option was not selected, hence SAP was giving the below entry, which is correct as well.
Vendor A/C.............. Cr 30000-
Expense A/C............ Dr 29126.21
Input Tax A/C............ Dr 873.79 (@3% on 29126.21) which is correct.
Hence, the Vendor amount should be Expense + Input Tax= 30000 * 3%=900 + 30000 (expense) = 30900.
Correct Entry should be:
Vendor A/C...............Cr 30900
Expense A/C............Dr 30000
Input Tax A/C............Dr 900
Resolved. Pankaj has given the correct answer.

Multiple inputs and outputs using DAQmx VIs

Hello,
I am fairly new with the LabView programming language. I have a few training books that I have been reading, and I have been following online tutorials and reading the forums. However, I have come to a problem where I don’t see a clear solution. I am using LabView 2009 (9.0f3) and DAQmx VIs.
I am using a NI 9172 chassis PLC, with two 9201 AI cards, 9217 AI RTD card, 9472 DO card, 9263 AO card, and two 9237 AI Bridge cards.
I am reading eight analog inputs with the 9201 cards, two analog RTD inputs with the 9217 card, three digital outputs with the 9472 card, three analog outputs with the 9263, and eight analog inputs with the 9237 cards.
I wrote a simple program to test one digital output task, two of the analog output tasks, and a single analog input task. I put all of them in the same while loop, and it worked perfectly. However, when I add analog input tasks to the same loop, I get an error 200022. So I tested each sensor individually by changing the channel before each run. I searched error 200022 and found that this is because I cannot start another analog input task until the previous one ends. With this said, I don’t know how to acquire an analog voltage in the same task as an analog RTD voltage. Both inputs take different constants in the start task DAQmx icon.
Attached is my test program. It is titled “Test All”. This is the program I used to test the various sensors. I tested the input sensors one at a time, and it worked fine. A few tasks are written just to test functionality, and will be added to later. The data is only displayed on the screen. I will add triggers and data write to disk functions later. This program works now, but if I add more analog inputs, it will generate the 200022 error.
Can someone show me how to correctly write the code for multiple inputs and outputs using DAQmx? All training materials and tutorials I can find all show a single input or single output, not multiples of each. Thanks for looking.

Hi RandyC,
The Knowledge Base article Using Different Types of DAQmx Global Channels in the Same Task goes into a little more depth of what Bryan is talking about, and it also includes some example code to help show what to do.
Hope that helps,

Input and output audio not working and no startup chime

The audio, both input and output, on my MacBook Pro has stopped working as well as the startup chime. Otherwise the computer starts up and seems to be working normally. Any ideas as to what the problem is and solutions?

Hey, my MacBook Pro has been doing the EXACT same thing off and on for a few weeks now.
I'm just now having time to browse the forums, so I've not even asked about it.
Yesterday it all started working normally - all sounds.
I'll follow this discussion for sure.
There definitely seems to be enough 'Mac-Daddy' Mac Helpers on here to be able to easily resolve this issue.
i.e.: Andreas! Just reading her stuff lets me know she REALLY knows what she's talking about & is able to explain the highly advanced info in terms people actually get!
Thanks for asking that question!
