Bouncing a file for mastering...

What is the correct way to export a final mix out of Logic to be reimported into a new Logic file for a final master?

There is a Mastering template when you boot up Logic- I haven't used it but it's there. You can also do it the way you have suggested, and you can also use Wave Burner I would imagine. Also there are popular programs like Bias Peak.
There is a book by Bob Katz (http://books.google.com/books?id=EBCmpwGCROMC&dq=BobKatz&hl=en&prev=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=&q=bob+katz&btnG=GoogleSearch&sa=X&oi=print&ct=result&cd=2&cad=author-navigational) that is a good read and very informative.\
When one masters, you take the final mix and apply careful final EQ and some compression, depending on the needs of a song, and make sure that all the levels are the same for the whole package (CD or whatever). Maybe you already know this, I'm just throwing it out there- and I don't know squat else except what I have told you, so I'm on my way now.

.TIFF files versus a .PSD file for mastering/archiving

It has been suggested to save your master files in a .TIFF format (apparently for archival reasons and possibly a more enduring file format).
I know a .TIFF file is a very sophisticated file format, is a container for file information, and can maintain PS information, such as smart objects, alpha channels, masks, adjustment layers, etc.
But is there anything a .PSD file can do that a .TIFF file cannot?
I just want to be sure before I convert all my archived files to .TIFF.
Best Regards,
Kkamin

PSD can handle a few color modes that TIFF cannot.
And the layer data in PSD and TIFF is pretty much the same.
For archiving, most people are talking about flat TIFF files - that part is well documented.
Comparing layered formats - there is no great reason to convert them.

Bouncing individual tracks creates 2 wav files for each..why?!!

When I bounce individually selected tracks from Logic Express, it creates a double wav file in my folder for each track I bounce. It didn't use to do that and I haven't changed any settings... Please HELP :/

By "double wav" do you mean that you are getting a separate audio file for left channel and another for right channel, something like this?
Be sure to check in your bounce window that you have "interleaved" checked instead of "split."
Depending on how you're exporting/bouncing your tracks this may not help, but you can always solo the desired track and bounce your song with "interleaved" selected to get a single stereo file of that individual track.

Bounced WAV files's timestamp doesn't match timeline issue.

I'm mixing down some music for picture. In Logic Pro 8.01, the audio/video sync perfectly. But the bounced WAV files' timestamp does not match. For example, in Logic Pro/Video's timeline, it is starting at 01:00:00:00, but the resulting WAV file's timestamp is at 01:00:03:18. Or Logic's timeline start at 01:13:22:00, the resulting WAV file's timestamp is at 01:13:26:12. I checked it with Pro Tools and BWAVReader.
Logic is set at 29.97 Non Drop and 48kHz matching the DV file. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

my preference would be to get Audition 3 (too bad we can't get an upgrade price from CS3 Production Premium to Audition 3...).
Are you sure. I got Audition 3 for US$99, IIRC, from CS2 Production Studio (contained Au 2.0). That was just after the release of Au 3, but not THAT long ago. With CS3 Production Premium, I would think that you would qualify even more than I did.
One point - I'm not using Reverb as an effect...
Then that was my error. I thought that you HAD added a bit of Reverb - sorry. And no, I was talking about the Effect, not the room ambience. Just a mistake on my part.
I am going to try a work around tonight... I am going to export each of the 2 audio tracks separately (with effects applied) and then bring those 2 WAVs back into PP3 to be mixed and just drop the original audio to see what happens
I often do similar to what you are doing - Upmixing. I know that the music industry is opposed to this with re-releases of music, where original multi-channel masters do not exist, but for my work, it is OK. I'll use duplicate Audio, just as you are, and then mix each 2-channel Clip a bit differently, using a touch of EQ, Reverb and Delay (most often), plus the spatial location of the sources for DD 5.1 SS mixing. Now, I am keeping the Effects to a minimum, but the Audio is room-filling, when I do it right, and with a light-hand. For my sources, I have found subtle is better, unless I need a panned SFX, or similar, and then I get to go a bit wild, like landing the helicopter on the back of the audience's heads!
Have you tried SoundBooth for the Audio mixing? I only used it in Beta, but had Audition, so never saw the use for it in my workflow. Who knew that Audition would soon be only a stand-alone?
Good luck, and please let me know what you find out with your tests. I can always learn more about the Audio-side of the street.

How can I reduce the size of a pdf file for emailing?

I want to send a pdf file which is 8 mb, it has bounced in an email because it is too big, how can I reduce the size of the pdf file for emailing?

Sometimes a simple "Save As" will reduce the file size slightly, but probably not enough to pass the <8 mb threshold of your recipient, as you need.
You've probably seen it, try the next option in the Save As menu, "Reduced Size PDF," and make it compatible with the latest version possible, again considering the recipient. This suggestion assumes Acrobat X. You don't say which version you're using, but this tool was available at least going back to Version 8, but in a different place, you'll have to hunt.
If all that doesn't work, you could remove some images from the source document, which also will reduce the overall size.
Best luck.

Bounced MP3 file do not play in iTunes

Hi guys!
I'm a new Logic Express 9 user (and a complete novice in recording!). I just managed to connect my Roland RD-700SX piano to my Macbook Pro (USB connection). I managed to use Logic Express 9 to record a simple song that I played on the piano. If I understand it correctly, the flow of data and subsequent "creation" of sound is as follows:
- upon recording: piano keyboard (acting as controller) --> Logic Express (receiving MIDI-data from keyboard) --> sound generator inside the piano (receiving MIDI-data from Logic Express) --> speakers
- upon playback: Logic Express (sending the recorded MIDI data) --> sound generator inside the piano (receiving recorded MIDI-data from Logic Express) --> speakers
I then bounced the file to an MP3 (following the directions in the "Exploring Logic Express 9" manual).
Upon playing the MP3 file in iTunes, there is no sound. I can see that the file was compressed (the MP3 file is about a quarter of the original uncompressed file).
Why is there no sound after bouncing the file? Does it have something to do with the fact that the "playback" within Logic Express 9 is sending the MIDI data to the piano's sound generator, and therefore does not actually hold the "audio" data, but a mere projection of that data? If the latter, how can I record the "audio" that I hear when playing the recording in Logic Express? If not possible to record the exact same audio (which is based on a top-range grand piano pre-installed in the RD-700SX), is there a way to use the MIDI-data in the project file and record "audio" based on the instruments that came with Logic Express?
Thanks!

Hi man,
my sympathy for RD700sx users is unbroken
You gave the answer yourself: "Why is there no sound after bouncing the file? Does it have something to do with the fact that the "playback" within Logic Express 9 is sending the MIDI data to the piano's sound generator, and therefore does not actually hold the "audio" data, but a mere projection of that data?"
That's exactly what happens. You didn't record any audio in Logic, but only MIDI data streamed from and to your digital piano.
To have your song bounced, you must record the RD700SX' sounds into an audio track. To do this, it is not sufficient to connect the keyboard via USB, because it hasn't got an integrated audio interface.
Instead, go get yourself an audio interface (or, in case of missing funds, connect it with a suitable adapter cable directly to you Mac's inputs, you'll want to use the headphone jack of the RD700 as output perhaps). Then, aim a audio track for recording and hit record. The Mac will stream the MIDI data to your RD700, which in return will feed the audio track with audio (resulting in a visible waveform). Now this can be bounced.
Alternatively, you can use the MIDI data you've recorded to feed software instrument tracks which will produce audio as well.

Hi,
When you configure the Connection Factory for FTP Adapter in Admin Console,along with the hostname, username, password, port; we also need to give the path of remote location as where
you want to write the file in remote Server. While configuring the Connection Factory, find the attribute called ftpAbsolutePathBegin. Please fill this
attribute with the path like /soa/ftp/file (example path)
Also , try to bounce the server and test the same...
Please try this and let me know...
Thanks,

File system log files for SOA Gateway

Hi All,
I need to get log files for my integration repository/SOA Gateway since I'm not able to generate any WSDL or to deploy a web service. In the SOA trouble shoot document, it says:
Log on to Oracle E-Business Suite with the username that has the System Administrator responsibility access privilege.
Select the System Administrator responsibility from the Navigator and choose Oracle Applications Manager > Logs.
Click Log Setup to open the Java System Property Settings page.
Click the Site link and enable log for
Midtier Log File Name: Enter the file name that you would like on the middletier, for example, '/tmp/SOA /tmp/SOALog.log'.
Module=Enter an appropriate module name, for example, 'fnd.soa%'.
Ask your System Administrator to bounce oafm container.
Perform any SOA specific action, such as generate a WSDL file for an PL/SQL API.
Look for logs in the file specified in the Midtier Log File Name field.
My problem is, that my EBS installation is running on windows, so '/tmp/SOA /tmp/SOALog.log' will not work, right? I tried something like /temp/... or c:/temp/... or c:\temp\... but I did not get a logfile called SOALog.log.
What do I have to provide as path here?
Many thanks,
Konrad

Hi!
Did you encounter any error?Yes!
>
try givng C:\temp remember temp should have read and write permissions for the oracle applications o/s user(applmgr)Using c:\temp\test.log results in the following error while saving the log setting:
An error has occurred!

I can use whatever string I want, but as long as a ":" is included, I get that error.
As for the user permissions. I installed the EBS using the standard Administrator account and this account is a member of Administrators and ora_dba.

Why does iPhoto 11 show both modified and original photo files for items I've never modified?

I have been looking through some recent photos and noticed that File > Reveal in Finder displays a modified and an original file for images I've never modified. The originals are in subdirectory iphoto > Masters and the Modified files are in subdir iphoto > previews. This appears to happen strictly with photos taken on my iphone. Any ideas? It's eating up a fair amount of HD space, for no reason as far as I can tell.

#1 is patently untrue; I go in there all the time via File > Reveal in Finder so that I can grab images to pull into other applications, mail clients etc.
Actually it is patently true - what you are doing is not supported, is not necessary and is dangerous - you should only access the photos using the supported methods
#2 - I thought maybe that was it too but it's on images both vertical as well as horizontal. There's even images in there that are just still frames of videos taken on iphone.
2 - the most common cause of un-expected "modified" versions is having the autorotate feature set on your camera - this causes a rotate flag to be set so that when yu import iPhoto does that and as always keeps the original and keeps the rotated version as mopdified
Given that you provided no information about your work flow one can only guess at common reasons
The jpeg preview of each video is also a modified version - as to why both vertical (portrait) and horizonal (Landscape) photos would have modified versions more information would be needed - the most likely cause is that you have made changes of some sort to them

Adding another external hard drive for Masters. A3

My masters are on a 500 GB LaCie "Rugged" which is piggy backed to a 1 TB LaCie used for Time Machine backup. Is it true that one doesn't need to access the masters because most work is done on versions within the library? In which case if the external hard drive is full can I just replace it with another hard drive? Help would be much appreciated. Cheers, jp.

Every Image has a Master.
The Master is a file.
The Image is in your Library.
The Library attaches to the Image a pointer to the Master.
The pointer is in your Library.
The Master can be anywhere that Aperture can access.
The Master should be on a drive attached directly to your computer. (Apple has warned in the past of problems with Masters on NAS.)
When Aperture can access a Master, it is "on-line".
When Aperture can not access a Master, it is"off-line".
(When Aperture can access the volume to which the pointer points, but does not find your Master, it is "missing".)
When an Image's Master is off-line, you cannot add Adjustments or export either the Master or a Version (you can, confusingly, export the Preview).
This is all clever, and very useful in practice. A rule-of-thumb: if you need to make adjustments to an Image, or export that Image, keep that Image's Master handy. Conversely, if you are done making adjustments to an Image and do not need to be able to quickly export an Image, you do not need to keep that Image's Master handy.
Theoretically, every Master could be on its own drive. This is impracticable, but possible. In your case, with your 500 GB drive full, you should winnow your Masters at some point, but you should also either:
. purchase another 500 GB drive, or
. purchase a 1 TB drive and move all your Masters to it (using Aperture's "File→Relocate Masters" commandwith both drives mounted).
The second is the simpler approach. All your Masters are on one drive, so:
. you always know where a Master is, and
. backing up your Masters involves less administration than having Masters on multiple drives.
Aperture will take advantage of whatever speed boost you give it, but in general you get much much more bang-for-the-buck speeding up, roughly in this order, throughput from:
. RAM
. CPU
. GPU
. Aperture LIbrary volume
. System volume
than you get speeding up the volume on which your Image's Masters are stored.

Bouncing separate tracks for gapless play has silent space

I'm trying to make three songs that are gapless play and flow into each other. I have all of the songs in the same logic project and my method was to first bounce the entire project and then make a new one where I bounced it into three separate ones (so the reverb etc. would be preserved). The problem is, regardless of what audio player I use - I've used itunes, vlc, vox and spotify - there is always a few millesconds of silence at the beginning of each track, which is small but noticeable/annoying.
Logic Pro 9.1.8 Mid 2013 MacBook Air Mac OSX 10.9.3 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM

Depending on what you actually want to do but....
One method is as follows..
Bounce each of the projects to an Audio file
Create a new project and add each of the bounced audio files to a single audio track in the new project... in the order you wish them to playback.
Now use a slight overlap/fade if needed between each of the audio files... to create smooth gapless playback..
Test by playing the project.
if all okay then..
Bounce out this project to a single audio file.. for playback in an external player.. No gaps!

Generate xml source file for Oracle Order Capture Print Quote

Hi,
I am new to xml and need to work on creating templates for Print Quote.
I am trying to generate the xml source file for which I enabled the report in system administrator and set the output to XML and assigned to Quoting Reports responsiblity. I then assigned XML Report Publisher to the same responsiblity.
I ran the report (Print Quote) and then I am trying to run the XML Report Publisher but I cannot get the request id in the list of values.
I am able to generate xml source file for other reports like Printed Purchase Order etc.,
The view output for the (Print Quote) report is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
<ASOPQTER />
How do I get the xml source file? Or are there seeded templates that I can use to create more templates? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ravi

Hi, I am in the same position - did this issue ever ger resolved by anyone. I have done a few XMLP reports successfully now using the Word add-in, but customising the Quote output differs from other standard reports.
If you look at the data definition for Quote it is a 'dummy' definition and has no XML file attached. Does anyone know how I can get the XML format for the report output?
Also the template uses XSL-FO ?!?!?! rather than RTF - not sure how to work with this, the Oracle docs are not very helpful in this regard either.
Has anyone successfully managed to customise the Quote print report? Many thanks,
Roger

Vi error on nfs mount; E212: Can't open file for writing

Hi all,
I've setup a umask of 0 for testing on both NFS client (Centos 5.2) and NFS server (OSX 10.5.5 server).
I can create files as one user and edit/save out as another user w/o issue when directly logged into the server via ARD.
However, when I attempt the same from an NFS mount on a client machine, even as root I get the following error using vi;
"file" E212: Can't open file for writing
Looking at the system.log file on the server, I see;
kernel[0]: add_fsevent: no name hard-link! dropping the event. (event 2 vp == 0xa5db510 (-UNKNOWN-FILE)).
This baffles me. My umask is 0 meaning files I create and attempt to edit as other users are 777, but I cannot save out edits unless I do a wq! in vi. At that point, the owner of the file changes to whomever did the vi.
This isn't just a vi issue as it happens using any editor, but I like to use vi.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Hey, beer is on me!

Hi all,
Thanks for the replies
I've narrowed it down to a Centos client issue.
Everything works fine using other Linux based OS's as clients.
Since we have such a huge investment in Centos, I must figure out a workaround. Apple support wasn't much help as usual however they were very nice.
There usual response is "its unsupported".
If Apple really wants to play in the enterprise of business space, they really need to change there philosophy. I mean telling me that I shouldn't mount home directories via NFS is completely rediculus.
What am I supposed to use then, Samba of AFP? No, I don't think so. No offense to Microsoft but why would I use a Windows based file sharing protocol to mount network shares in a Nix env???

How can multiple files for the same genre be consolidated

I organize my iTunes files in genre folders for easy access. ITunes creates multiple folders for some genres and allows a single (preferred) genre file for other much larger files. How can I consolidate multiple files with the same genre?

Thanks. I've done what you selected. The problem is that despite all files being identified with the same genre, iTunes groups some genres in two separate folders. Thus, I have two "Country" folders, for example. More perplexing is that iTunes groups my largest genre folder, "Jazz", in a single folder.

Help in creation of XML file for IDOC postings

Hi All,
Need help if anyone has knowledge/experience in creating XML files for IDOC processing.
We need to design an input file (in XML format) for creation of IDOCu2019s for purchase Invoices through Interface.
We have an existing input file, which is working correctly. We are trying to modify this existing input file for a new Tax Code (Non-deductible inverse tax liability). This tax code is working fine for manual postings. But, through IDOC, tax postings are not correctly triggering.
Could you please confirm if any one has experience on this, so that I can share more details for resolving.
Thanks & Regards,
Srini

Hello,
you can use CALL TRANSFORMATION id, which will create a exact "print" of the ABAP data into the XML.
If you need to change the structure of XML, you can alter your ABAP structure to match the requirements.
Of course you can create your own XSLT but that is not that easy to describe and nobody will do that for you around here. If you would like to start with XSLT, you´d better start the search.
