Anyone use Logic in a school Lab environment

If so, what do you use to secure the dongle so students don't walk off with it?? Anything home made or commercial??
Thanks
Mark L

Use one of the wire locks made for laptops through the hole in the end of the dongle. It won't stop the dongle being detached from the port, but it will stop the dongle from being taken away (unless they carry out the entire desk or bench, or have bolt cutters!)

Anyone using Logic to score to picture?

Anyone using Logic to score to picture?
what is your workflow?

I either get the QT movie delivered on DVD-ROM or delivered on an external FW drive already in the size and format that I want. I don't use DV output (I run the video in a window on a 2nd monitor).
I create a separate logic song for every music cue, which I find works for me. it minimises the need to fiddle with locking objects to TC when there are tempo changes etc. in order to hear the other music that I am working on in the film to get an overall global feel etc, I bounce a work in progress from each song and place them in the right place on a dedicated track in every music cue logic song. time consuming but effective.
for the film audio, I extract it to a track from the QT and run it in logic. can be a pain when having to change offsets but I have a technique for cutting the audio file to realign it with the film if I need to offset it.
what I would like to see is far better implementation of movies in logic in general. I tried using the detect cuts feature for a while but found it pretty much useless for me. I am still finding that logic forgets what QT was saved with a song, so I am having to relocate it again, and it irritatingly defaults to looking in the movies folder on my system drive.. so instead of fighting it, I copy the QT to that folder when I can, ie, when it is not too big a file. in general I would like a more elastic and intuitive way to glide a movie start point as far back or forward as I would like, to easily align the start point of a music cue with bar one.
that's all I can think of for now. any other Qs just ask.

Windows 8 App Deployment in School Lab environment?

After doing some reading and research on Windows 8 Store app deployment from sources like
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39685 and this forum and I am getting pretty depressed. Here is one part of my scenario which is pretty simple I think.
Lab of 20 Dell 3011 AIO Touchscreens that were depoyed with Win8Ent via MDT2012U1. For simplicity I will talk about a subset of my problem. I have 3 classes of Kindergartners who use the lab. The students aren't capable of really logging
in themselves so the teacher logs them all in to a shared account for each class since all they do is web / app stuff. I don't want to create 60 accounts for this young of kids since they can't handle the process anyway.
Here is my understanding of what I would have to do if I wanted to install Fresh Paint (a great free app) for all the students to use.
1. Create a minimum of 4 Microsoft accounts due to device limits of store app install.
2. Assign / attach those Microsoft accounts to specific lab machines (while logged in as each shared student account).
3. Login to each of my 20 lab machines as each of the 3 share accounts (which can't have roaming profile since Windows <-> Microsoft account association now needs to be unique). This would be a minimum of 60 individual logins for this one
app and one grade.
4. Install the app on a per user / per device basis.
5. Potentially repeat process any time an update is released since the students can't handle it themselves.
I think this is the majority of the process, am I leaving any important steps or details out? This sounds like it would be HOURS of work to install ONE app for ONE grade. I could potentially need 5-10 unique apps per grade.
This just isn't feasible on any type of scale. Even this limited amount of devices / users is overkill when dealing with users who are to young to maintain their own devices or exist in lab environment. In reading the doc refrenced above it doesn't
seem like there is a solution for this offered by MDT, SCCM or Intune? Please tell me I am missing the magic deploy button? Also I don't even want to begin to think about apps that aren't free and managing that.
Thanks for any helpful info.

No, you're not missing the magic deploy button :(
If a Windows Store App (aka Modern UI app aka Metro App) is offered via the Windows Store, and not offered directly by the application developer, the only legitimate way to get that app is via the Store, and that requires an MS account.
ConfigMgr offers two "deployment" methods;
a) deep-link into the web-based Windows Store. The logged-on user must have an MS account and use that account to authenticate to the store. even if the app is free.
b) sideload. requires the appx installation package.
There are some other suggestions, but they are unsupported, and rather complicated:

The last time I spoke with our MS contacts (deployment engineers @ MS), even those guys can't get the MS free apps to sideload.
All the documentation around sideloading appears to be catering for situations where a company has developed that app themselves, or, has commissioned a developer to create a custom app for the company.
Apps which are offered via the Store, seem to only be available via the store. I'm not sure if there is some kind of contractual obligation with MS which demands this? (i.e. in the store means no distribution via other means?)
At this time there are no options to federate an on-premises AD to the Store either. Which would be a nice option, even if it limited the user to free apps.

Anyone using Logic 8 with 10.6 Snow Leopard ? issues ?

Using Logic 8 with 10.6, I'm aware there is an issue quitting Logic without first closing the current project.
Are there any other issues? any performance boost/ benefit?
I'm running an 06 Macbook Pro 17" 2 Gb Ram 10.5.8 currently and considering an upgrade to 10.6
Audio units I use: Revalver MKIII and Amplitube

(blushes embarrassedly)
No, my coffee was still too hot...
There are quite a few issues running L8 and L9 with Snow Leopard. My (and also from some of the pro's here) standard answer is hold off Snow Leopard until it has stabilized a bit more. Try to wait until 10.6.4 or 5 at least. Leopard only became reasonably stable with L8 at version 10.5.4, 0-3 were problematic.
Just check this forum for user reports when SL gets updated.
Since SL was released, the number of Q's on this forum seems to have more than doubled. That is strong circumstancial evidence for SL-Logic stability/reliability problems. It may be the price to pay for the price we pay.

Is anyone using logic and reason rewired on a macbook pro?

when cycling, either logic or reason loopes back a moment too early and cuts the end of the loop.
anyone able to reproduce this?

nobody has this problem, or an answer?

Logic Pro for school lab

What is the best way to automatically delete user profiles after x days of inactivity (school lab environment)?

I work at a school where we have multiple Mac Carts that have 30 MacBooks per cart. We image the macs every summer to delete the older user profiles but we are looking for way to possible have this done automatically through out the year to help with HDD space. What is the best way to delete user profiles after...say 180 days.... of inactivity automatically? I am open to login hooks, bash scripts, etc. Anything to get the job done. Thanks for any help or advice.

A search here turned up this post Deleting inactive users
It appears that the script posted will do as advertised though I would test it out on your systems and under your conditions to see if it does do what you need.
regards
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - That script looks for users over 21 days. To look for ones over 180 days change the 21 to 180 in the find command.

Anyone using Logic Pro X with Novation Automap?

I can get the transport controls working, and the mixer volume controls - But things like track arm etc. just isn't work, and if i pan a track it goes a bit barmy.
Obviously, not expecting this to work when i downloaded Logic X, but as i'm 50% there already, i'm suspecting that maybe i can get it working at this early stage?
Quite happy to have the transport controls working if i'm honest so it's not a big deal but thought i'd ask anyway.

People from Novation told me this:
Question:
Will automap 4.7 and Impulse work with Logic Pro X ? Thank you
Answer:
Thank you for your email.
This has not yet been tested and I can't confirm compatibility.
I have created a case for our developers to look into this and I shall keep you updated with any news here.

Can I use Logic 9 on a G5 with Leopard

Is anyone using Logic 9 on a G5 Quad-core with Leopard? I have been told by tech support that it won't work, but I have heard from other people that it will. Before I buy it, I would just like to make sure it will run. Any feedback would be helpful.
Thanks
Message was edited by: mibishop

There are several people on this forum who are currently running Snow Leopard on their G5. If Apple says you can't do it, that just means they haven't put the time and resources into testing it. I just talked to Logic technical support and he told me that Logic 9.0 will not run on my G5. Yet, you say it will. So forgive me for questioning the validity of your statement. I was just wondering if anyone out there is actually using it.

Does anyone know if apple's one-to-one program would be a good way to learn how to use logic pro or am I better off going to school to learn audio engineering or something?

Of course going to school would be a good option, but I want to know if one-to-one is also a good way to learn how to use logic pro. Has anyone been through the one-to-one program for logic pro and can say that they learned how to use logic pro well because of it?

For sure, one to one training, if given by a tutor who is capable, will hand you the means to build up self-confidence and will therefore let you operate the hard/software in an intelligent manner, instead of going for the trial and error method which has its pro's and con's too. Once you've passed this beginners phase you will make your own decisions intelligently and then you will also start to get experience and learn even from your mistakes. Something like that in theory and the rest is up to you!

Does anyone use MIDI loops in Logic Pro to compose music?

Seriously, if anyone out there uses the MIDI loops to compose music in Logic, how the heck do you do it? Especially if you are also using audio loops, it seems almost impossible to me. The chord transpositions that you get from the chord track are not even to the right pitch, and the transposition behavior is different according to whether you drag the loops into the arrange area before or after putting the changes in the Chord track. The signature track is no better, as it doesn't seem to affect audio loops. So how do you get the bass loops etc. to play in the keys you want them to without going through extraordinary contortions? I looked at one of the Logic Pro books, and it said to transpose by using the transpose function in the inspector, but that only lets you transpose by octaves! Do you really go in and edit the loops by hand to transpose each note?
Any pointers on this would be greatly appreciated.

Put the mouse pointer on top of the transpose number, which is zero, hold down the left mouse button and drag up or down to transpose by steps. At the beginning of either the getting started or Logic manual there's an explanation of the different types of mouse/key behavior, if you're not used to using Logic it's a good idea to go over these.
Also, Logic does not always use simplified Mac conventions (thank the stars for that), as a result you have a lot more variety of data input, it varies according to the task at hand.

got your message about making sure to use the machine specific disk that came with my machine. Unfortunately, Apple no longer sells Tiger replacement disks. I've got a couple of bids out on ebay, and will update when I have news to add to this post.
Thank you for your help, Frank!
To be clear you called the 800 number and explained what the situation was, old machine and lost the original DVD's?
Just checking because if you just called and tried to buy the DVD's they might tell you they no longer sell them but you aren't really trying to buy them your trying to replace the ones that are missing.
Ebay may work but there is a certain specificity to the DVD's required which, even if they seem right, might not work.
Good luck either way. If you get a chance when you get the DVD's I'd be interested in hearing how it all works out.

Is it possible to create a schedule in Labview . Example: i want to off the lights at 7pm and want it on at 8am. If there is can anyone teach, its for a school project. Im using labview 2011

Since this is a school project I recommend you do the work yourself. You will not learn asking others to do it for you. In addition, folks here will not do your homework for you. We are however more than wiling to answer specific questions for you. Post what you have done or tried and ask specific questions. I am confident you will get assistance.
And to answer your question, yes LabVIEW can be used to implement a scheduling program.

Dashboard Builder - Anyone using this in Live environment

Hi,
We have requirements wherin we want to integrate Xcelsius and Detailed Webi reports and develop a kind of reporting suite where the Xcelsius will drive the reporting outputs in Webi.
we have completed a prototype and know this works with the use of 'Dashboard builder'.
Wanted to now check if anyone has used 'dashboard Builder' in a lIve environment and how stable it is.
Can we publish reports developed in Dashboard Builder to folders and control who has access to which report ?
Thanks,
Sameer

Hi some customers are using Dashboard in PRD environment and it works fine is ver stable.
Respect to the authorizations, you must asume that a dashboard is a resume of webi, xcelsius and analytics reports and you need authorizations for any element individually and then also authorization to the dashboard if you need you can restrict the access as any other file in the BO.
Regards
