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!

I NEED SOME HELP WITH UPDATING MY IPOD TOUCH PLEASE

i need some help with my ipod the version is 3.1.3 and every time I'm trying to update it says it can not be restored then it says unknown error so i need some help updating my ipod to version 4.2

If you mean you're trying to update your ios go to settings/general/software update. then you should see the latest ios just tap it and it will automatically update your ipod. If you're trying to restore your ipod (as it's not quite clear in your query) try doing it through itunes instead of on the device itself

Hello I have a few questions and I need some help with my iTunes and iPod

Hello iTunes people.
I have a little problem with my iTunes. I actually almost know nothing about iTunes really. But I have had a 80 gig ipod .. ummm I think it's a iPod classic maybe. A long time ago I just downloaded iTunes. I think one of my tech friends already had put the program onto my PC so I did not even have to download it. Anyways I put my life's collection of mp3's onto iTunes and then syncs it with my iPod and it worked great. Here is my problem. I just recently bought a MONSTER PC. I have lovingly named it " ED209 " I downloaded iTunes for it and I have the most up to date version.8.1.1 is the most current version correct? Ok well here is my problem. What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library. I DO NOT want to import anything from the library or playlist or whatever you call it ONTO the iPod because there is nothing in the library. Now this is were its gets weird and possibly silly. A person I was chatting with on Facebook sort of made fun of me because she was like " Dude! Just push " Sync " But the reason I am paranoid is because THIS is the message I get....
" The iPod " Aaron's iPod " is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this iTunes library? "
HOLY COW!! That girl on Facebook was making fun of me but READ THAT. That exactly says ERASE the "iPod" and Sync with THIS library " It does not say put what is ON the iPod into THIS Library. It says it the other way around. Clear as day it says it will ERASE the " Ipod " it does not say " Fill the library with whats on your iPod "
Do I all of a sudden not understand English or something???? I know how to freaking read and from what it says is sounds a 100 percent like " we will ERASE youe iPod and put everything from this playist or library onto your iPiod" But there is NOTHING in my library? Am I mentally challenged or what?
I hope someone can help me here and I have another request. Could someone just tell me all the cool things I can do with iTunes and my iPod? I am trying to read the help files and the FAQ and whatever else Apple provides you with but it has SO MUCH crap that looks usless. I find myself reading a whole paragraph about some simple little section of s section of a section of a feature! Know what I mean. Someone give me the long and short of the neat things I can do with this stuff. I have windows Vista with a wicked computer that has like 6 gigs of ram and m iPod is a 80 GB Classic
help !!
PROTEUS

*What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library.*
1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

I need some help with Game Center and saving games to it

I was playing the new app called clumsy ninja on my iPad. I had gotten pretty far an decided it would also be fun to be able to play from my iPhone. My I phone was already logged on to Game Center, but my iPad wasn't. So when I logged no to Game Center from my iPad, it had saved my level one game from my iPhone, I was all the way on level twenty four on my iPad. I tried to undo it but every time I opened up the app it was my level one game from my iPhone. I really need help. What should I do?

That's weird I just noticed that if I change the Screen Saver selection, that I have to check then uncheck the (Main screen only) box to reset the preference before it works. Even weirder I also noticed that for some screen saver selections the iMac display and TV show different photos that both change an the same time.

I need some help with my new podcast. Please!

I've just set up a new podcast and it's online on itunes. The xml file is hosted on my website. Can i edit the text within this file...i.e. if there is a spelling mistake...ping this...and itunes will update it? Cos i tried doing that but no changes were made...any ideas?
Also, to generate my xml file, i used this website
http://www.podcastblaster.com/podcast-feed/index.php
However i noticed that feedburner allows you to collate statistics on subscribers and podcast downloads....how can i switch to feedburner? i find this all so confusing. does anyone know what im talking about?

From looking at their site, Podblaster creates the feed file from the data you give it: so it's no good you editing the feed file yourself as Podblaster will over-write it the next time you add an episode. Any changes you make to data or episode in Podblaster will cause an amended version of the feed file to be uploaded and this will eventually be reflected in the itunes Store; it usually takes 1-2 days, occasionally longer, for new episodes to appear in the Store, and it's possible that minor amendments to the texts won't show until you upload a new episode.
To take advantage of Feedburner's statistics facilities you need to submit the feed to Feedburner, and then submit the feed it generates to the iTunes Store. This will involve you either using the procedure detailed here (which involves adding a special tag to the feed - something you may well not be able to do) or submitting this feed as a new podcast to the Store (which will necessitate making a small change to the name).
If you have any further queries please post both the URL of your feed and of the iTunes Store page (please include the http:// in both cases), without which it's possible only to give very general answers.

Need Some Help with Internet Explorer...Please

HI ...
I have one site that I use for work that I am not able to get on from home because I am Mac based.
It says I can only recognizes Internet Explorer.
Is there a way around this that doesn't involve me having to purchase Windows? It's the only site I need if I work from home, if I have to buy something, ok, but would rather see if there is another way.
Thank you for the help!!
DR

Internet Explorer is part of the Windows Operating System. In order to get Internet Explorer you must install Windows either using Bootcamp Assistant or using a Virtual Machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.

Need some help with Format!!! Please Help

I am all done with editing a wedding and just discovered that half of my project in the beginning is squished. I have black bars on the left and right sides. Basically FCP is not utilizing the extra sceen space on my files. The original footage is normal 3X4 and was captured as such (720X480 DV).
I do not understand why half of my project appears fine and fills the screen, but the first half has been squished and not filling the prject windows fully.
I am using a MacBook Pro, and FC 5.0. Footage was shot in Mini DV on a Sony.
Thanks a ton for any help or advice.
p.s. will attach a screen shot here in a few minutes.
Intel 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.7) FCP 5.0

Thanks guys for the help. I don't think it was like this while I was editing. That is why I didn't notice it earlier. I let someone watch part of it and it could be that they hit something that changed it.
I found that the aspect ratio was on 12.5 and not O. When I put it to 0 it filled the screen much more, but not completely. But it should be enough to bring the image back to a normal size.
The question is now, is there a way to apply an aspect ratio change of 0 to 100 clips? When I select them all and change it, it only applies to the first clip. It is going to take a long long time to change all of them.

Re: Satellite A500 - need some help with FN button and Toshiba programs

Hi,
The FN button, Eco button and other specialized buttons such as the one which opens Windows Media Player have stopped responding on my A500 PSAM3A-03P00E which runs Windows Vista. I can still change screen brightness with the FN button but no menu appears at the top of the screen.
Also the Toshiba programs which are meant to run at start up such as PC Health Monitor are not auto starting, even though they are selected in System Configuration (msconfig).
Bluetooth manager is however running at start up.
I have previously had blue screen errors however they are not a problem since I updated the BIOS to 1.5 and uninstalled Zonealarms.
Cheers

Thanks all,
All problems have been fixed after downloads of Toshiba value added package and the new version of PC Health Monitor (V1.3.2.0).

Need some help with ati drivers and i think xorg

i installed ati-dri and xorg and can boot up kde (sort of) because when kde starts it glitches and its semi-different each time but the main point is i think i have to downgrade xorg or mabye i dont have correct drivers for my graphics card (ati radeon HD 4650).
Last edited by leercrak (2010-12-02 02:23:44)

Edit: im going to do a full install of kde and hope that works. my lspi | grep VGA does indeed show the correct video card and the only other problem i can think of would be when ive tried to install certain catalyst-utils and other catalyst related packages im getting a pacman cant install missing dependencies catalyst=10.11 so i went searching for a catalyst=10.11 but it was never that exact name and nothing seemed to work.
major edit: i got xorg working and can probably handle it from here.

Hi Martin
Welcome to the forum. Give everyone here some more info about your set up otherwise it may be difficult to figure out what is wrong.
Which mac?
Which OS?
any hardware devices?
if you are listening through headphones using the built in audio from the mac, you may be hearing fan noise or a hard drive spin noise.

Please I need some help with a table

Hi All
I need some help with a table.
My table needs to hold prices that the user can update.
Also has a total of the column.
my question is if the user adds in a new price how can i pick up the value they have just entered and then add it to the total which will be the last row in the table?
I have a loop that gets all the values of the column, so I can get the total but it is when the user adds in a new value that I need some help with.
I have tried using but as I need to set the toal with something like total
    totalTable.setValueAt(total, totalTable.getRowCount()-1,1); I end up with an infinite loop.
Can any one please advise on some way I can get this to work ?
Thanks for reading

Need some help with a Macally enclosure and a spare internal drive

Need some help with a Macally enclousure
Posted: Oct 1, 2010 10:55 AM
Reply Email
Aloha:
I have a Macally PHR-S100SUA enclousure that does not recognise,my WD 1001fals hard drive. It has worked just fine with other internal drives, but not this one?
This is a spare internal drive that I am trying to make an external drive to store back ups for a lot of data. But so far I can not get it recognized by the computer. Maybe I need different drivers?
Any suggestions?
Dan Page

Hi-
Drivers aren't typically needed for external enclosures.
Macally has none listed for that enclosure.
The same is true for the WD drive, internal or external; no drivers.
With the exception of high end PM multi drive enclosures, I can't think of any that use drivers.
How is the external connected?
Have you tried different cables, different ports?
Bad/damaged cables are fairly common.
Have you verified connections inside of the enclosure?

Need some help with putting a folder in users directory

I'm not sure how to do this, but what I want to do is put this file in C:/My Documents, but I need to be able to verify that C://My Documents exists, if not put it in C:/Program Files.
Can any one help me out?
try {
                    String[] contactArray = parseDatFile(fc.getSelectedFile());
                    Document document = createXMLDocument(contactArray);
                    saveToXMLFile(
                    document,
                    new File(
                    "C:/Program Files/xxx/",// looks for directory for list
                    "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"));
                } catch (Exception exc) {
                    File f = new File("C:/Program Files/xxx/");// setting directory for list if not there
                    boolean yes = true;
                    yes = f.mkdir();// creating directory
                    try {
                        String[] contactArray = parseDatFile(fc.getSelectedFile());
                        Document document = createXMLDocument(contactArray);
                        saveToXMLFile(
                        document,
                        new File(
                        "C:/Program Files/xxx/",// used only if the directory didn't exist
                        "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"));

Need some help with putting a folder in users directoryI recomend using System.getProperty( "user.home" ) not a hard-coded value.
This will use the users home folder ( C:\My Documents ) on Win9X (I guess), C:\Documents and Settings\<current user> on Win2K +, and ~ on Unix-a-likes.

Need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.

need some help with downloading PDF's from the net. Each time I try to click on a link from a website, if it takes me to a new screen to view a pdf, it just comes up as a blank black screen? any suggestions?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

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