Automation trouble

Hi guys. I'm using 32bit Logic 9.1.3 on MacOSX 10.6.6.
The problem is actually simple.
I have a button on my midi controller (NI Maschine btw, probably not important).
I map it to control volume (yes a button for volume, so it goes from 0 to 127 straight away, like mute/unmute). I use latch mode. I press play and write some automation. As soon as I start writing I notice that the first node isn't entered. Please see picture 1 (http://img208.imageshack.us/i/1copyku.jpg/). You will notice a node missing. Then, I stop playback, and because one node is missing (node number 2), it connects node 1 and node 3 (please see picture #2, http://img508.imageshack.us/i/91720923.jpg/), so I have bad automation.
Why is this?

Because switch automation behaves that way, but volume does not. Logic would "expect" to see messages between 0 and 127 and if it doesn't it is first treated as a switch (you'll see mute, solo and bypass events behave as in pic 1). When you stop Logic the program finally "realizes" that this is volume automation which should look/behave as in your second picture.
I do not understand wy you use volume this way, muting would produce exactly the same (audio) result, with exactly the same caveats (clicking), but at least the automation will stay as it should, like in your first picture.

  • Equium - DVD drive has vanished

    Installed some new software the other day to 'catch' a video from my vcr- filled up my Vista drive so I uninstalled it after putting the video on my harddrive. Now my DVD drive doesn't show up on my computer.
    Tried microsoft's automated trouble shooter - it installs the driver for the device and the ram but it disapears again everytime I switch off my pc - and the dvd player still doesn't work. I don't know what I'm doing here so if anyone has some simple information how to fix this I would be very grateful.
    Thanks

    Hi writerchic,
    I dont know which Microsoft trouble shooter you have tried or what it does it exactly but in your case I would remove the upper- and lowerfilteres in registry. Therefore follow these steps:
    1) Run regedit (Start -> Run -> regedit)
    2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    3) In the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key, and delete the "LowerFilters" key.
    4) Reboot your notebook.
    Does it work?

  • Trouble running automator shell script

    This is probably going to be an really simple fix, but I'm have trouble building an automator service that runs a bash shell script. All of the elements of the script work fine when plugged into shell, but for some reason the automator service is failing to run. The script calls ffmpeg to convert an audio file:
    for f in "$@"
    do
      fn="${f%%.*}"
      /Users/aa/Applications/ffmpeg/ffmpeg -i "$f" -acodec libmp3lame -q:a 7 -ar 8000 -ac 1 "$fn.mp3"
    done
    The script runs fine without the ffmpeg command, and the ffmpeg command runs fine in the terminal on its own. Where's the error coming from?
    Thanks!

    The first is what I'm getting from the bash terminal execution, the second from automator. I'm accenting the differences I see. Thanks for the help!

  • Trouble Cleaning Up At The End of an Automator Action

    So my automator action currently downloads a file (a .dmg), mounts it, copies its contents to Applications, and then... I then want to unmount the dmg and throw the dmg away. However, by this point I no longer have the references to these two items:
    download file -> mount file -> copy items
    I'd like to be able to get back to the downloaded file so I can trash it, but there's no way to "store" its name or reference or anything. Any ideas? Unfortunately I can't just do a search for it since its name is often different.
    Thanks in advance!

    ineedadifferent...
    Try adding the following steps at the end of your current workflow. Steps 1-4 are Finder actions; step 5 is an Auomator action:
    1) *Get Specified Finder Items* -- in the Open dialog navigate to your Macintosh HD > Users > +your name+ > Desktop. Select the Desktop folder and hit Open. Leave the Options unchecked.
    2) *Get Folder Contents* -- Leave both "Repeat for each subfolder found" and the Options unchecked.
    3) *Filter Finder Items* -- Whose: Name Extension - Is equal to - dmg. Leave the Options unchecked.
    4) *Move to Trash*
    5) *Run AppleScript* -- your script might look like this:
    on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Finder" to eject (every disk whose local volume is true)
    return input
    end run
    Good luck!

  • Trouble using Run Shell Script with python in Automator

    Hi. I have a python script I want to run in Automator (update_puzzles.py). All it does is check, rearrange and update files and there is not supposed to be any input. I can get the script to run outside of Automator, in Terminal, by navigating to the right directory and typing "python update_puzzles.py"
    I must not be setting up Run Shell Script correctly. I have it set to /bin/bash and Pass Input to stdin. The command line simply reads python /pathname/update_puzzles.py (where pathname is the path to the .py file, which I got by dragging the file onto the Run Shell Script command window). There are no actions before this in my workflow and the action after is View Results.
    The log says Run Shell Script failed, and the error is "Traceback (most recent call last):"
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks so much.

    If the script is expecting to do stuff with files in the same directory as the executable, you will probably need to add a statement to change to the appropriate working directory. The shell used in the Automator *Run Shell Script* action is a generic one that does not share any of the environment variables that the Terminal uses.

  • Automator New Text File Trouble

    Pumping text into the New Text File action produces a file with unreadable characters (looks Chinese).
    Interestingly, pumping into New TextEdit Document works just fine.
    I don't believe it's related to any TextEdit encoding setting (I'm using the defaults.)
    I've found others on Google with the same problem, but no resolution.
    Any ideas?
    Eric
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I did some research on the issue (Google). Others also have the same problem. It appears to only be a problem on Intel platforms. I tried your clipboard idea. The resulting text file is still unreadable, but the contents of the clipboard are just fine, so the problem is definitely in the New Text File action.
    The Intel theory is supported by the fact that when I run Automator under Rosetta the problem isn't there.

  • Having some trouble automating?

    Hello there. I tried creating a workflow that I imported to save documents to PDF and the workflow completed but did not show where it was saved. I looked everywhere on my mac and did not find converted file?
    Anyone know why?
    Thx.
    Dorian

    Hi Ic
    I have just run some more tests with it and it is unreliable to say the least. It will not convert what it was doing earlier so there is a problem with it and maybe why it has not been updated since May 2005
    I will look at it again later as it is something I could use to save converting file types using Preview before combining them

  • I'm having some trouble spacing groups of text boxes. Does anyone have an automated way to evenly distribute space between groups of two text boxes?

    There isn't much more to this question. My format works like this:
    H2 Headline
    H3 Explanation
    H2 Headline
    H3 Explanation
    H2 Headline
    H3 Explanation
    I need to distribute these text boxes evenly down my page. It's a bit of a pain to do so manually. Since there are other objects on the page, the spacing guidelines get thrown out of whack. My most secure way is to create a box, line it up with the bottom of the first group and the top of the next. Then repeat all the way down the page.
    I thought about using just one text box but rejected it. I need to have content pulled from other portions of the site. That wouldn't be possible with only one text box. Plus, it's much easier to format the text box than individual text.
    If anyone has an idea, I'd love to hear it.
    Thanks.

    mitchging If I am understanding what you require, this might be what you're after.Assuming you want to have all the boxes equally spaced, you can use the Align panel. In the screen grab the four boxes are sets of two grouped text boxes, similar to your description. Select the first group object, then select the remaining three. Open the Align panel. First set the Align To method to Key Object. Now set the distribution spacing to the required value. When you click the Vertical Distribute Space button, they will all be spaced equally. You can then fine-tune it by changing the value and hitting the button again whilst they are still selected.
    I hope this helps.

  • Automation plugin as action and via File/Automate

    Hi,
    I have an Automation plugin that is scriptable (it has a number of exposed scriptable parameters and can be recorded and run from Actions palette). The plugin displayes the UI when it is called interactively (from File/Automate).
    I am however having troubles distinguishing when it is called from an Action palette as a playback of recorded action and when it actually was called interactively from File/Automate (testing it in Photoshop CS6). On plugin invocation I check passed action descriptor and if not empty, read parameters from it and don't show the UI. On the call end, I write script parameters back to a descriptor to be able to use them in recorded action. With this in mind, after PS start first time selecting File/Automate works as expected - no descriptor/parameters passed into the plugin. But after a first call, Photoshop seems to keep the descriptor/parameters written at the end of the plugin and passes it on subsequent user invoked File/Automate. The same happens if plugin is getting called from a recorded action playback (and its expected). Basically after a first invocaction, the plugin will always receive action descriptor whether it called from an action playback or invoked by user.
    I need to distinguish these two cases and basically present UI/start from scratch when user invokes it and use the passed action parameters when action plays it. I have not found anything in SDK to point me to the solution so I'd appreciate the help.
    In filter plugins I can at least get selector start when invoked from UI and use that to free/ignore the action descriptor data.

    I don't think you should care. The option you do care about is this one:
    PIDialogPlayOptions playInfo
    That is part of  PIActionParameters *actionParameters
    That is part of your PSActionsPlugInMessage that comes into your automation plugin entrypoint.
    This parameter has three options:
    a) always display the dialog,
    b) only display the dialog if you don't like the parameters you are given,
    c) never display a dialog (either return an error or proceed with best options but don't stop with a dialog)
    From the file menu, user selected, you should get option a (always). From the actions panel you should get option a or b. From scripting you can get all three options.
    There is also a property in PIProperties.h called propPlayInProgress but the above information should be what you need to do the correct thing with dialogs.

  • Unable to SMPTE LOCK automation

    i am still struggling here with this locking issue!! the regions are locking fine, but the automation is NOT locking on any of my projects...
    After SMPTE locking automation, by accessing the automation event list, selecting all, and then locking everything, I can still click and MOVE automation, which results in the flattening out of the yellow automation curve across whatever track's automation I clicked on and moved, and thus the disappearance of the automation I've done.
    If I change the tempo, after locking automation, even by the slightest amount, which is the ultimate reason why I am doing this, ALL yellow automation curves flatten out across ALL tracks, and same thing, as a result of the flattening, any automation I have done disappears.
    So the problem is that I am not able to SMPTE lock the automation. And I would like to know if anyone knows what is causing this issue, so I can make the change, get the automation to lock, so I can ultimately change the tempo of the song without effecting automation or positioning of regions.
    I hope some one can help me trouble shoot. THANKS.

    I am working with logic pro 8. ischwartz gave me the most concise instructions on how to SMPTE lock automation, he even let me send him a file, and he was successful in solving the issue on his machine, but still I could not get down to the bottom of it myself.
    eriksimon's post doesnt help because I already know how to lock SMPTE position, open a new window containing only automation, etc, etc. i am TOO familiar with all that.
    I need to be able to line up my vocals EXACTLY based on the proper tempo. I left this alone for a while because I thought I could pull off guesstimating where my voice can be copied and pasted for the choruses and be satisfied with that, but I'm realizing now that my project is almost complete, that I am not satisfied with guesses.
    I cant make 1000 copies of my album, thinking that certain parts are slightly off, however slightly they may be. and the only way to get it to sound 100% natural so audio vocal regions can be copied and pasted with exaction, is to have the tempo SET prior to starting projects OR change the tempo from the default 120 to the proper tempo for each song NOW, which will only be possible through effectively locking all automation and of course, keeping all automation in tact.
    Anyways, I didn't set the tempo prior to beginning these projects, so back to the issue at hand, I need to be able to lock automation, so I can change the tempo on projects that are almost compete -- full of automation (though only volume), full of cuts and pieces of regions here and there, and overlapping regions in some places.
    Something is just holding me back from being able to lock automation, so I can change the tempo and solve my ultimate problem. And i feel like it might be something very simple...
    Anyways Ive described this issue in every possible way I can. I just hope that there's somebody out there who can help me get this right.
    PEACE & BLESSINGS,

    Hi,
    Could you confirm on below:
    1 ) Are you using multiple automation plug-in external event receivers in the same automation task ?
    2 ) And are you having the default Correlation Message property set to 'JSMCorrelationID' in external event receiver?
    If your answer for the first question is No, they i would suggest to use Correlation XML Body as
    *[local-name() ='Response']/*[local-name()='Header']/*[local-name()='application']
    The value of the field(application) in request must match the value of the field in response, in your case it is matching. And you will be reading this correlation id in response processing xquery.

  • How can I use Automator to open and save Word docs with links?

    Hi-
    I'm having trouble building a Workflow to open and save Word docs with links.
    My Workflow so far:
    1. Get Finder items
    2. Copy Finder items (to new folder)
    3. Rename selected items
    4. Open selected items (Word docs)
    Three problems occur.
    The first is a Word 2004 problem -- I can't get the warning "This document has links in it; do you want to open it with/without updating the links" to go away (Unilke the Macro warning toggle capability, there is nothing in the Preferences for Word 2004 that addresses the links warning, as far as I can tell; any insight you can shed on this would be terrific.)
    The second problem happens with Automator: if I manually accept the update of the first document's links, Automator opens that document but then halts completely, even though I've instructed it to open multiple documents.
    The third problem I have is that there's no Finder action in Automator that allows me to save the document that's now open (as far as I can see).
    Any suggestions for how to fix? If I can get this to work, and scheduled in iCal, it will be an unbelievable time saver.
    Thanks,

    Hi there Jeremy,
    to do this you are going to have to add in some Run AppleScript steps...
    These will rely on GUI Scripting. So first you need to activate GUI Scripting.
    Now we need to add in a Run AppleScript action to the end of your workflow...
    This will replace your current number 4 in the workflow (Open Selected...)
    click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">on run {input, parameters}
    set allItems to every item of input
    repeat with currItem in allItems
    tell application "TextWrangler"
    open currItem
    end tell
    activate application "TextWrangler"
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "TextWrangler"
    delay 2
    --when the Word document is opened I have told it to press okay !
    --I don't know what key you want it to press in the dialog box
    keystroke return
    delay 2
    --save the doc
    keystroke "s" using command down
    delay 5
    --close the doc
    keystroke "w" using command down
    end tell
    end tell
    end repeat
    return input
    end run</pre>
    The above script should open each Word Document, press a button in the dialog box then do a save and then close the doc...then loop through the rest of them.
    You need to replace the name Text Wrangler with Microsoft Word (or whatever it is called!), I don't have it on my Mac.
    You will have to let me know what button needs pressing in the first dialog, if it isn't the 'highlighted ' one then we will have to amend the script...

  • Having trouble importing select pictures from a cd to my iphoto library

    I am having trouble importing (and viewing) my vacation photos from a cd to my iphoto library. Some of the photos I can view in finder, but when i click on the rest, I get a message that says "Item xxxx.jpg is used by mac os x and cannot be opened". When I tried to import the photos to my library... the ones I could view imported no problem, the ones I couldn't view will not import and I get a message saying "unreadable files: the following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)". I am just sick that I cannot find these photos!!! =( especially since I had them on iphoto before I cleaned out my computer (so I've had them in my library before). Any ideas? I am in desperate need of help! =(
    P.S. When I try to move the pictures to my desktop, I get a notice that says, "you may need to enter the name and pasword for the administrator on this computer to change the item named xxxx.jpg"... when I click continue, another message pops up and says, "the item xxx.jpg contains one or more busy items that cannot be changed"

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What do you have set in the System/CDs and DVDs preferences to do when a disk is inserted? If the option is not set to the Finder do so and see if that will make any difference.
    Otherwise boot into Safe Mode and see if you can copy the files from the CD to a folder on the Desktop. Boot back into your normal account and see if you can import. Or import while still in the Safe Mode.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How do I find missing/lost bookmarks I tried the trouble shooting section i just couldn't figure it out

    I had a bookmark folder & decided to add two more. When I went to my folders I could only find one new folder. When I clicked on it, it brought me to the second new folder. I couldn't get all three to appear under the bookmarks section. I retitled them because two of the three bookmarks had the wrong bookmarked items & then I lost the third, which had all the original bookmarks.
    I've tried your trouble shooting section, I don't understand all of the information. I have been through the trouble shooting section several times trying different options. I've gotten myself so frustrated & confused :( I'm hoping for a little one on one help.
    Thank you so much

    <u>First steps read the articles & do the following</u>
    # manually backup your current bookmarks (as they are now)<br> see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    #locate your profile, backup your bookmarks backups folder and the files it contains. See <br /> [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile]]'''_how-do-i-find-my-profile'''
    *also see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Folders
    * put the new backups somewhere safe; outside any Firefox or profile paths
    <u>Now look at what you have and keep the best ones</u> <br />
    There are limits to what may be restored, depending on what you have done and deleted, but once you have taken the action above you have preserved whatever is there.
    You can now try restoring any of the automated backups that Firefox has made for you (By default each of the last ten days). But take CARE any restore overwrites and destroys existing ones (unless it is from an HTML file then it is appended ). Always backup by exporting before you do a restore.
    You may restore from any backup you have made by exporting the current state, you are not limited to just the automated backups.
    Post back with how you get on and with any further questions.
