Anyone use M-Audio FireWire Solo for iChat AV 3.1 audio output?

Using an up to date iSight, audio output for iChat AV 3.1 works perfectly through my G5 internal speaker but does not work through my FireWire Solo. It yields 100% digital distortion everytime the person on the other end speaks. Everything else in my setup works beautifully with my M-Audio device (Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Reason, iTunes and all other applications). M-Audio is looking into it, but does not have an answer yet.
Powe Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi,
Checking olderpost I found your had been missed.
Add-on Capture cards for Video and MIDI audio devices have to have the most recent drivers.
I would alos recommend setting up MIDI devices with the MIDI Set Up Utility found in Applications/Utilities

You have landed in iSight Discussions. You may find better help in the Expanding your Power Mac G5 Discussions or iChat AV 3 Discussions area.
I do not use M-Audio or any of the other things you post about except iChat AV, and iChat AV does NOT work through my DP G5's internal speaker.
I offer the following possibilities for your consideration if you cannot find better help:
(0) When using iSight or iChat AV, you may be experiencing Possible hardware or software conflicts. This link gives tips for investigating that possibility.
(1) You may be trying to use M-Audio FireWire Solo for other than its intended purpose. The web site states, in part: The FireWire Solo is designed from the ground up as an easy-to-use, high-quality interface for songwriters to record guitars, vocals and more on the computer.Perhaps your M-Audio's documentation or the "Support" information linked on the web site can help you determine whether your device is compatible with iChat AV and your other AV equipment.

Has anyone used bluetooth hotspot in car for ichat

Has anyone used ichat on ipad through bluetooth conntection in car?

You might try the [Approval Workflow Engine (AWE) for HCM 9.0|https://metalink3.oracle.com/od/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=747740.1&h=Y] red paper. You can find it on Metalink3 at [https://metalink3.oracle.com/od/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=747740.1&h=Y|https://metalink3.oracle.com/od/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=747740.1&h=Y].

Can I record in GarageBand from my Yamaha Arranger Workstation using its audio outputs?

I am a newcomer to Mac having used PCs for 27 years. In Windows I used Soundforge to record using the audio outputs or occasionally ACID using the MIDI outputs on the Yamaha. I prefer to use the audio outputs eliminating the need for soft instruments. My Yamaha has a multitude of voices which makes using soft instruments unneccesary. If recording using the audio from my instrument is not possible I will simpy continue to use Soundforge in Windows as I have been doing for years.

Never mind. I took a closer look at GarageBand and realized that it will not suit my usage.

A few questions before I buy Logic Pro (also anyone use M-Audio Ozone w/it?

Hello. I just bought a mac (my first one). I plan on getting Logic Pro, but have a few questions.
-Do I need an audio interface to use the program?
-Does anyone use the M-Audio Ozone with Logic? If so, do you recommend it? I know USB isn't as fast as Firewire
-If the Ozone isn't a good audio interface, which M-Audio interface do you recommend? (i might be using Protools M-Powered as well so that's why I want M-Audio)
-Is there a plugin similar to McDSP Filterbank for Logic?
I won't have too much hardware so I don't need too many ins/outs.
Thanks

Ok well do you have a piano? If you take courses you probably need a full piano unless you only want to do synths and pop music, the Ozone will not do. Do take this into consideration, 25 keys is very very small. The cheapest best piano IMHO is the Yamaha P60; piano playing needs weighted keys.
The audio interface converts analog sound to digital and transfers it to the computer. The latency comes from the transport (firewire, usb, IDE), from the computer (software, operating system and drivers) and from the analog/digital conversion. The audio interface also does the reverse, it provides many outputs for speakers and headphones. It can also optionaly provide MIDI I/O.
There are MIDI only input/outputs too, which allow you to plug in any MIDI device, such as a Yamaha P60 piano for instance.
The controller is usually a piano like device (some aren't, they provide only buttons) that sends MIDI information to other MIDI devices (like Logic, via the computer's MIDI I/O). Synths can act as MIDI controllers but provide much more (such as the ability to generate sound).
The Ozone is both, it displays itself as a MIDI controller through it's keyboard and 8 control knobs, as well as an audio interface with 2 inputs and 1 output. That's why it's good at what it does, it's cheap and compact and does all basic IO. But if you won't record anything, a normal MIDI controller is enough. But if you have monitors, maybe the output from the Mac isn't good enough. In terms of sonic quality the Ozone is okay.

Has anyone used more than one event for one project?

Hi,
I have an opinion about Final Cut Pro X that hasn't changed since my first few days with it. I waited to see if I would get used to it. But, after a fair amount of time, I still am not comfortable with 'Events' and 'Projects'. The separation of the media and projects creates more problems than solutions with my workflow.
The purpose of it was to add flexibility for both the professionals and consumers using it, but my first impressions are still the same. The new Event and Project system adds complexity to organization and archiving. I wouldn't write this if it wasn't enough of a hindrance for me, that I encounter constantly. I think the new Final Cut Pro X is incredible, but this issue is definitely important to me.
Has anyone out there used more than 1 Event for 1 Project? Some of us create more than 1 Project for an Event, to make different version of a video, or for brainstorming, or to make a part 1 and part 2 of a video, but I've never had more than 1 Event for 1 Project. I don't need to use the media from multiple Events for the same Project. And I've never used it for a reason. I don't think someone will want to use their Hawaii vacation footage for a Denver vacation project, and a Florida vacation project. I think we should bring back the connection between Events and Projects in a meaningful way.
This is a throw back to the older days, but that's not always a bad thing. Let us keep our projects, or timelines, in the Events folder. Make an area above the JPG section, and PNG section, and MOV section, and call it the Projects section. Then we can easily find our Projects and add a new Project every time we need it, and organize our files quickly - without having to keep track of more windows. Final Cut Pro X is all about being more simplified than other video programs, and I think this goes right along with that idea.
Thanks,
- David

My original fear was that FCPX was just going to be iMovie Pro... It so is not!
People use the interface in different ways. I think that's what most of us like about it, it's flexibiity to accommodate different types of workflows. For me, I use the Events browser mostly like I'd be using the Finder. All the imported clips I use are referenced by the hard disks on which they reside. I know where to find them in the Event Browser and I know where to find them in the Finder. I use a lot of stock footage and therefore *reuse* a lot of stock footage from project to project. I'm not going to re-import duplicates into different events because I don't find that the least bit convenient and I do find it a terrible waste of precious HD real estate.
But that's me.
Some people like to load up everything they're going to use in a single project in a single event... I get that. You can command click your way through a bunch of clips, type E and everything is automatically arranged on your storyline in the order you selected the clips. That is *awesome*!! Instant storyline (/timeline.) Furthermore, for those that need to share projects, it's easier to bundle up the events and projects if they're all together (albeit in two different folders) on one disk (— at least they are always at the top level of the drive and easy to find.)
Keeping your Events media in a different location (satellite drives) and keeping your current project on your *fastest* drive is probably the fastest way to edit (particularly if your satellite drives are Firewire or Thunderbolt [peer-to-peer interfaces don't hog system resources].) There is little cross interference in disk accesses that way. So essentially, you can keep FCPX dealing with original clip data that doesn't need to be quite as fast, reading and writing to slower drives on your system, while letting it plow through the heavy work on your fastest access drive (usually your internal HD.)
By no means is FCPX "more simplified". It has a huge amount of power. It has all the best parts of Color, Soundtrack Pro and Motion built in. It allows you to explore *ideas* in real time rather than having to plan for them a week in advance [layout, round-tripping plans to Color, STP and/or Motion for titling or effects.] You can grab and move around elements anywhere on your "palette" with simple mouse moves and an occasional key press. The list goes on. Bottom line, it doesn't matter how you organize your events or your projects. It's all about the finished product. And for me, I can turn that around in about 1/5th the time (not claiming it's great — but I think better results in 20% of the time, on average, than it would have taken in Studio.) [Not a professional video editor -- I'm a graphic designer, and I develop Motion graphics for FCPX to make all "you guys" look better.]

Using thunderbolt to firewire adapter for target disc mode

I need to transfer several GB of data from a 2011 iMac running OS 10.6 to a new Mac Mini running OS 10.9. Can I connect the older iMac to the newer Mini with a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter and boot the iMac into Target Disc Mode and transfer the data to the new Mac Mini? I've used TDM with two Firewire machines, but not with a newer Thunderbolt to Firewire Machine using an adapter.
Thanks for any input.
--SL

Hi Salnews,
I've done quite a bit of research on this, as this is what I plan to do (only from a MBP on 10.9, but I don't think your situation would be any different) and everything I've read says the answer is yes.
EDIT: I see you're on 10.6.7. You should update to 10.6.8 first.

Has anyone used the invoxia NVX 620 for conference calling with iPhone

Thank you!

I just did a Google search and found several reviews on the first page.

Has anyone used Paragon NTFS or Tuxera for Median and Project Files

I have read lots of discussions about why this is not a good idea but my two options are to do this or switch to Sony Vargas for everything so it would be good if people could let me know if they have had this working successfully.
So has anyone successfully used either of these 2 NTFS drivers to edit SD/HDV or Prores projects on? My only experience has been using SD footage on an NTFS drive with the free NTFS-3G drivers. This worked fine as long as project files were on non NTFS drive (for same reason if I saved project on NTFS is saves a file with a size of zero bytes).
Regards,
Ben
PS I wonder if this thread will stay on topic;).

Macs can read drives that are formatted in NTFS as is. The software you mentioned enables a Mac to write to those drives. That said, you should edit using drives that are optimized for FCP and formatted Mac OS Extended.
Nothing to stop you copying the media from an NTFS drive to work with and then copying the finished result back.
As you are now in the position of having to do this, why not do a test and report back with your results?

Has anyone used the reel projection plugin for jQuery?

Hello to all,
im new at all this website stuff. im creating an online protfolio and want to have a place were each of my characters can be rotated 360. Im using a tutorial i found on the reel plugin. but its not working for me. i have included all the scripts required and have everything set up the same as the person giving the tutorial did. i just cant figure out what is gong wrong. I dont know enough about it all to figure out what is wrong. any help woudl be appriciated.
the scripts to be included are as follows:
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.reel.js"></script>
<script src="disableTextSelect.js"></script>
<script src="jquery-mousewheel.js"></script>
<script src="ActivateReelTarget.js"></script>
the tutorial had them linke with http://, but i downloaded them and turned them into.js scripts. the ActivateReelTarget is just a script i wrote to activate the reel plugin for the target object. which looks like this:
$('#image360').reel({ frames: 36 })
other than that all that is needed is the image which i loacated at the top of my page:

                    <div id="360conatiner">
         
        <img id="image360" src="images/RW360.jpg" width="600px", height="526px"/>
        </div>
        
        </div>
        
its pretty stright foward, so i dont know what im missing?
the comp sheet i made has 36 images in it gong from left to right in a block of 6X6. the image on the page has to be the first image in the block of 6X6. they have to be named the same thing, than the 6X6 comp block just needs to have a -reel extention added to it
This is the site im geting all this from:
http://developer.practicalecommerce.com/articles/1840-Full-360-Degree-Product-Image-Rotati on-in-JavaScript

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! I have read thru your links, and it looks like the colorspace drive is a good option. I guess what I am lookiing for is anyone who has used the one specifically made for Ipad?
Maybe I can be a bit more specific..
I have a macbook pro, and will not be able to take it with me because of severe in country flight weight restriction
I have an ipad
I have an WD portable hard drive without screen
I will use a portable hard drive as a backup, as well as try not to re-use my cards ( I shoot in raw, and have space for about 5000 images)
The only thing missing is my ability to actually look at some of my images while on the trip, so with the new Hyperdrive for Ipad it seemed to be a convenient solution.
With the Hyperdrive for ipad, I could see my images load, which would make me feel good...lol and then with the ipad actually look at some of them...
I am curious to know if anyone has used it, for a similar situation? Or if I should forgo the ipad all together and get the UDMA colorspace? Or what the diffenece would be?

Does anyone use a Celluar Travel Router for wifi connecton?

Hi!
I did some further research into this and you can have access to cell phone networks to create a wifi connection for the iPod Touch.
Does this really do the trick with having constant wifi when you're traveling or on the go?
Any advice would be great!
Thank You!

Yes, you do need to have a cell account and cell data plan for this to work.
I want to know if anyone uses this feature to create their instant wifi Hotspots?
Thanks!

Problem with multiple applications using one audio output

Hey there, I'm having issues setting up my 5.1 headset seen here (http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/content/x-tatic-digital) to work with multiple applications.
Right now I have audio streaming from a flash video, when I try run "$ speaker-test -c 6" I get the following error:
speaker-test 1.0.25
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
If I try open another application which uses this device, the first application has its sound cut off.
2 more things to note:
- My preference for setup would be audio output through S/PDIF and input through USB, with the USB output disabled (To not waste system resources).
- I unmuted all channels in ALSA, however when I ran the test only 2 channels seemed to be working (Front L&R), it may have been defaulting to the USB connection, in which case, that explains only 2 channels being in use, is there a method of setting the S/PDIF as default system wide?
Thanks in advance for any help given!

brebs wrote:It's put the comments on multiple lines - fix that.
Woops, I guess my paste messed up, new .asoundrc: http://pastie.org/3706033
I can run both at the same time, however I cannot hear any audio. Do I somehow have to change the default device, if so how can I do that?
Edit:
Restarted system now I get:
speaker-test 1.0.25

EDIT 2:
Interesting, apparently 2 audio streams are working, however the console thing still doesn't work..?
EDIT 3:
Didn't last long, now flash crashes and html 5 doesn't work -.-
EDIT 4:
Flash only works when other audio is active, however it has constant popping sound. I went through the system logs to get the errors of when flash crashes, it's audio crashing it, here's the error:

Projection Goes Black With Use of Audio Output Jack

Any video projection I do when using the extended desktop as a second display begins to flicker or go completely black whenever I put a line into the headphone jack. If I unplug the line, the projection comes "back on" and is perfect. This seems to be the strangest problem since I thought using the extended desktop (mirroring off) shouldn't be related to audio output, or maybe I'm missing something. I thought it was the presentation program I was using, but I tried another, and it still happens. Any ideas?

I think you are correct. It sounds like it is a hardware problem which should't occur. Try contacting apple.

Using multiple audio output devices.

Hey, does anybody know a program for assigning different audio outputs to different applications. For example, having Safari and the OS outputing to the computer speakers, while iTunes and Muse output to bluetooth speakers/headphones (non airport). Can it be done?

Sound Bunny is a nice replacement for Detour, which got lost in the move from PPC years ago. Hoever, there is a small bug with sites with audio (auto-play audio, that is) in Safari 7 (at least). They return the error below and won't load. This happen on other sites, but if it happens on the Google site as well, then something is seriously wrong. The company tech support insists: "SoundBunny will not stop any website from loading. SoundBunny is a audio controlling software and does not control which websites to load." ~ Abu; Prosoft Engineering Customer Support
Even after sending them two screenshots like this, I have gotten no response and no answer to how I might REMOVE the plugin from Safari. So while I like the program, I would be able to RECOMMEND IT if the comapny was at least responsive and recognizes that there is, in fact, an issue to be resolved.
