Bug in SURROUND when instnciating new SOFTWARE INSTRUMENT?

Hi all
Is this a bug?
This only seems to appear after mix is up to say a dozen tracks.
Whilst working in SURROUND ... I have some audio and some software instrument tracks running ... instanciate a new EX24 or KONTAKT 3 by choosing NEW TRACK with a key command ...... choose NEW SOFTWARE INSTRUMENT .... when you've opened the new instrument, everything in the mix is shunted over toward the left hand side of the room.
There's no apparent way to get the mix back to where it was so you have REVERT TO SAVED?
Best
Dick

If so, don't..... Use the New Project command instead
at the startup of the song it creates 5 busses......
using Empty project....... Every new SI.... same issue
It may be you have created a template, or are using one.. that includes those busses....
I do use a template song with some busses, but it creates 2 new if I create a new Software Instrument.
I don't understand this behavior.......
This issue occurs using the command New Software Instrument tracks, and not creating New Audio Tracks
The unique way to avoid this for me is to copy a SI in the Environment and then change its Inst channel....

Creating a new software instrument track in Logic Pro 9

When I create a new software instrument track in Logic 9, the newly-created track always defaults to "EVP 88 Electric Piano" instead of "Inst 1" like it's supposed to. Why does Logic do this and how can I restore the settings so that it opens the new track as "Inst 1."
Thanks much!!
Alex

That was added around 9.1.1 - presumably so people wouldn't create an instrument and then ask "I created an instrument, but it don't make no sound."
You can uncheck the open library box or go to HD>Library>App support>Logic>channel strip settings>Instrument>01 Logic instruments and change the one called something like "EVP88 Electric Piano" to just "Electric Piano."

Prompting of Administrator Password When Installing New Software.

I recently installed some software onto my Mac but I was not prompted to enter my administrator username and password as is usually the case (or so I thought).
Does anybody have any ideas as to why an administrator password is not always required when installing new software? The reason I ask is that I thought that this was one of the protections offered by the Mac to prevent unknown installations of Malware etc.
Thanks.

No password will ever be requested when you simply use drag and drop to install an application in the Applications folder. This is because you are a member of the admin group, and the admin group has authorized access to the Applications folder.
Nothing should install without your knowledge. If you are concerned about viruses and the like, then that's a different matter altogether from the question you asked. See this:
Do You Need Anti-Virus Protection for Your Mac?
According to Rich Mogull's article, Should Mac Users Run Antivirus Software?,
"The reality is that today the Mac platform is relatively safe. There are hundreds of thousands of viruses and other malicious software programs floating around for Windows, but less than 200 are known to target the Mac, and many of those are aimed at versions of the Mac OS prior to Mac OS X (and thus have no effect on a modern Mac).
It's not that Mac OS X is inherently more secure against viruses than current versions of Windows (although it was clearly more secure than Windows prior to XP SP2); the numerous vulnerabilities reported and patched in recent years are just as exploitable as their Windows equivalents. But most security experts agree that malicious software these days is driven by financial incentives, and it's far more profitable to target the most dominant platform."
Mr. Mogull is a computer security expert. I recommend reading the entire article as it is quite informative.

Administrator error message when installing new software

Hi~
I am working with an ibook on OS X.2.8. I gave this computer to my dad when I got a new one and set up an account for each of us, both with administrator priviledges. I just tried to install new software and it keeps telling me that I don't have permission to install software on the default location of macintsoh HD and to check with the administrator... even though I am the administrator. It didn't offer me an opportunity to enter a password or to install the software in an alternate location. I tried installing a different program to see if it was a problem specific to this application and found the same difficulty. I tried both accounts and this happened in both. Then I tried setting up a new account as an administrator and this didn't work either. Then I delelted all accounts except for my dad's account. I've checked the permissions in system prferences mutliple times. Nothing works. Any ideas? I would appreciate any help as this is very frustrating and this computer will soon be useless if we are unable to install updates or new software.
Thanks and have a beautiful day!

Hi xinaroyall, and welcome to the forums!
This is the Tiger/10.4.x forums, but we'll try to help.
I've checked the permissions in system prferences mutliple times.
You nreed to repair them in Disk Utility, then reboot, but I'd make second admin account again for safety.
Let's see where we are after that.

New software instruments installed but not found to use

Help please
I have downloaded 3 new AMG expansion, synth and power packs in garageband 08' running on a g5 with leopard os and though they appear on the HD where they should (HD/library/garageband/instrument library/sampler/sampler instrument) they are not found once inside garageband-new software track instruments.
Why is this happening and how can newly installed software instruments appear for use inside a track?
Thanks!

How can I add new software instruments to Logic Express?

I just got Logic Express 8 and was disappointed to see that there were not as many instruments available as I thought there were. Is there a way I can add additional software instruments to my library without having to spend 300 more dollars to get Logic Studio?

Hi,
the cheapest way would be to buy a specific sample library from a music store and import them into the EXS24 Sampler. There are also some free downloadable ones, but i think they are not very satifactory.
Maybe a Jam Pack would help, also. Don't have one myself, so this is a shot in the dark.
However, i would encourage you to think about logic pro. You don't only get the sound library, but some very useful tools and plugins that Express doesn't contain. If i had the money, i would instantly go for it.

When installing new software, remember you MUST backup your data.

This is from my own personal FAQ on my own website, but given the number of people who find themselves in a lurch with Snow Leopard, I had to post this again as a reminder for those not privy enough to find it by internet search engines, or look through this board.
It is not a question of if data will be lost, but when. User error, data corruption, hardware failure, bugs in installers all play a part in potential disasters that only a backup can recover from. While you don't have the viruses or worms on the Mac like you do in the Windows world, it should be no excuse to not backup. These incidents can happen at anytime, and frequently without any warning.
User error is the number one cause of lost data. You drag a file to the trash without meaning to, or use a keyboard shortcut used to send a file to the trash, or take a file out of its prescribed location, and the system gets broke. Before moving preinstalled folders or adding files to preinstalled folders, know what files belong where. Ask if you are unsure. And only start moving files once you know your critical files are backed up. In addition, if you lose track of files, and their location, having a backup you know where it exists will help you find those files which you lost. Manage your backups so that information isn't lost by accident.
There are many disk utilities which claim to help keep your hard disk in good shape, and some are better than others, but if you don't have a backup, any of them could actually be worse than the backup software to your data as a simple power failure during use of one of those utilities can make the data get lost forever. Data corruption is probably the number two cause of losing data.
Hardware failure. Eventually all hard disks, tape drives, CDs, DVDs, Zip drives, Zip disks, floppies, tapes, and even drive controllers fail. Hopefully most will not happen during the time between now and when you can afford your next computer, but it could happen. Getting an external source to backup your data to will lessen the risk of any one component making your data get lost forever. Whether it is an external hard drive, CD burner, tape drive, or a zip drive, the more backups of your data you have, the better off you'll be. Some will even say an off site backup is a good idea since a disaster could happen to your home or office that ruins the media on site.
And then there are installers which without warning will remove different versions of programs, and in a few cases have been known to remove all the data on the system by accident.
Always have at least two copies of your data at all times. As the loss of one data source due to any of the above failures means you will need the second backup to recover your data.
And one copy should also be in a remote location in case something happens to the home location whether it is theft, accidental damage, or natural disaster.
In the meantime if you aren't able to make the investment in backup software or hardware at least make yourself a hard copy of all your documents by printing them out. While not as easy to recover from as digital backups, at least you won't be trying to create the data from scratch.

Apple also warns one in the documentation that comes in PDF on the installation DVD, but it does appear that some don't other to read this.
Data recovery techniques exist, but none are 100% reliable, and some can cost thousand of U.S. dollars if you have failing hardware. So don't think for one moment backing up is optional. The day will come when you wish you had one.

Sustain Pedal not working when recording with software instrument piano

I have an M-Audio sp-2 sustain pedal going into an M-Audio Keystation 88es, which is connected by USB to my mac. When I'm recording and holding down the sustain pedal, the sustain is working properly. However, when I playback what I have recorded, the sustain is gone and it is just the regular piano key notes with no sustain. Does anyone know what the problem here is?

This appears to have been a bug. After restarting the computer the sustain recording is functioning normally now.

Since you don't bother giving us any other information, like where you are, whether you cut your own sim, or who your carrier is, we can't really give you a better answer.
There are known issues with cut SIMs and older micro-SIMs, especially outside of the US and Europe.

Cannot open package when installing new software

Dumb question but when I try to install an application using an installing file I am getting a message along the lines of "Cannot find the application to open file XXX", where XXX is the package referenced by the install file, in this case Photoshop Elements 3 for the Mac. The disk image in which the installation file is contained is created through a DMG file and looks fine.
Help?

Have you tried with with any other applications your trying to install. I know PSE3 is pretty particular about being installed from the disc.
When I've ever tried to replace it from a backup I've always needed to install it from the disc otherwise it just won't run. Perhaps it has similar issues with installing from a DMG.

When getting new software it did something to my phone and now it wont work

Keep trying. The update server is overloaded. You will eventually get through and your update will continue where it left off.
I got the error message about 12 times before it finally connected and continued.

Every time I create a software instrument, It is created as an EVP88

Every time I create a software instrument, It is created as an EVP88 INSTEAD OF THE DEFAULT green empty software instrument. Also, I can't seem to change it to other things...audio units, etc. I am just learning logic, but this seems odd.
Please help.

Uncheck the "open library" box when creating new software instrument.
