Can't turn off iMessage sound

Despite sounds turned off in notification center for iMessages I still receive a swoosh sound on each new message.

HI,
In the Messages Menu there is an option called Preferences.
This opens the Preferences Pane which has several icons across the top.
One of these is Accounts
One of the Accounts in the List will be the iMessages one.
One of the other iCons across the top is labelled Alerts.
This contains several lines.
The top one is a drop down that then lists several Actions that happen with the App.
One of those actions is "Messages Sent"
It is common here to write Place to start > next step > followed by next step where the > means go to.
This is a series of Actions rather than path to a file such as Users/(your account name)/Library/Preferences
This way can be Copied and Pasted into the Finder's > Go Menu > Go to Folder > Dialogue box (if you substitute your name properly)

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

Dan,
It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
Hope that helps

How can I turn off imessage for just one of my contacts? Me and my husband just upgraded (both had iphone 4), I got the iphone 5s and he got he note 3. All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.

Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

That's the most stupid thing. It may work but the phone shouldn't be going off in your ear while in use from the start.

Can I Turn off iMessage in a group text with multiple people with different devices? There's 1 person in the group text that doesn't use iPhone anymore and they can't see any messages that are sent unless we send as regular text individually.

Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

now I have this and it still doesn't work.

Can I turn off iMessage for one contact?

My wife recently switched from the iPhone 4 to a Galaxy S3, and in order to be able to send her a text message, I have to turn off iMessage. Is there any way to turn it off for an individual contact instead of turning it off completely? Or can I tell my phone she no longer uses her Apple ID for imessage?

She should switch iMessage OFF on her iPhone, change her Apple ID password, delete her profile registeration.

How can I turn off the sounds of the firefox? I don't want to turn off my whole computer sounds, but just the sounds which comes from the internet. Is there any master button?

All the websites doesn't allow you to turn off the sounds, but that is just the thing I need to do. So how can I turn off the web browsers sounds? This is so small thing, that I refuse to believe that this kind of button doesn't exits.

In Vista you can set the volume and mute setting for each application separately in the volume mixer.
You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window.<br />
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.

I can't turn off iMessage! I'm losing messages people send me via iMessage!

I have an iPhone 4 with iMessage enabled.
But now I'm using my SIM card in an HTC phone. The problem is people with iPhone still see me as being on iMessage and when they text me, the text is sent via (blue) iMessage and not (green) SMS. So now on my HTC phone I can not receive any messages from iPhone users!
I've turned off iMessage on iPhone AND iPad. Logged out of all iCloud related services - iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, iTunes...
I've deleted my iPhone from my Apple ID Profile online.
But people with iPhone still see me as on iMessage! What should I do to permanently remove my phone number from iMessage service?
