Correct Settings for Latency When Recording Guitar Direct...with Duet?

Could anyone tell me what the idea setup is for the lowest latency when recording guitar parts through an amp plug in when using Logic with a Duet? And also for just recording live acoustic (with no plug in, maybe a bit of echo)?
Thanks

My question was dead serious: Why don't you try out different latency settings and observe? Nobody can tell you what your hardware will behave like, how you're monitoring and how much latency will make you happy.
Your attitude is not exactly helping.

Sorry, but leaving a one line post that says basically "Try it and find out" is probably not what most would feel was a helpful reply.
And on the contrary, a lot of people use the Duet, use Logic, and are guitarists, so sharing what they've found successful is a reasonable expectation, I think.

How to record guitar direct with M-Audio Fast Track?

My brand new M-Audio Fast Track MkII is installed with drivers loaded. (The Mac is restarted.) In GarageBand, under Input Source, I see Mono 1 and Mono 2, further down I see Stereo 1/2. Should I not see an option for the M-Audio?
Suggestions?
Thank you-

For monitoring you need to select the output in garageband preferences. If you're monitoring from the fast track choose that if you're monitoring from the mac choose built in.
I think the guitar is channel 2 on fast track so choose mono 2. Make sure monitoring is turned on.

Correct settings for HDV capture

Hi. I'm using Premiere CS5.5. I went on a few forums to get the correct settings for HDV capture.
I can record the footage fine. However I saw a few things which didn't seem right.
After capturing the HDV footage, the file was a .mpeg file. Secondly, the clip was 1 hour and 10 minutes and
it was only 11.3 GB. Does this sound right? A 55 minute .avi file is 11.6GB. I thought a HDV clip would be quite a large size file.
If this dosen't sound right, is there somewhere I could go to, to check that my settings are correct? By the way I'm filming and capturing with a Canon XHA1.
The footage is 1080i. HDV. I've exported it and it looks fine. Just want to make sure I've captured it correctly and to the best quality.
Thanks for your help.

The HDV format was advanced by Sony and others to use the same miniDV tapes used for SD. In fact, your Canon XHAI can record and play either without changing the tape transport speed.
Your observation in relative file sizes is due to the fact that HDV is highly compressed (MPEG), whereas, SD (AVI) is not as highly compressed. This is one of the reasons folks (such as Harm) don't consider HDV to be an edit format, but just a delivery format.
Note that what Harm was saying is symantics--you capture an analog source through a capture card that digitizes it. When you transfer a image file from HDV or SD, it is already digitized, so a bit-to-bit transfer occurs.

What are the correct settings for the Canon 5D mark II in FCP 7 ?

I am shooting full HD at 23s97 fps.. tried making a preset for the Canon but when I import fils FCP always wants to change to appropriate settings for this file type but doesn't tell me what that is...
(latest firmware installed)
Please, can someone provide all the correct settings for me?
And also, why doesn't the camera show up on the desktop/in the menus when attached to the mac? I have ro use EOS utility every time I want to get anything off of the camera... and FCP doesn't see it either. That's just not right - FCP MUST recognise my camera!! : (
Please help - I don't want to start editing until I have the right settings for this footage.
Thanks
Jim

Welcome to the Boards
Not sure what you mean with the following, looks like a word dropped?
I have ro use EOS utility every time I want to get anything off of the camera...
Anyway, some more specs on your system could help point where the issue is. With the new Plug-In by Canon you can Log & Transfer from the Flash Card (not sure how you connected the camera.) Alternatively you could just drag the files in (but make sure to keep all files such as THM in case you use Log and Transfer later.)
Generally it is best to transcode to Pro Res to be able to work with the files in Final Cut. (Log & Transfer should do that, or using Compressor/Mpeg Streamclip.)
It (Final Cut) is probably changing the timeline to match the codec, or depending on your last preset used, just switching things around. In other words if you were editing in DV and had a set up for that, new sequences would default to that and if you try to ad anything else you will get the message.
Take a look at the search over there -> to look for the Canon 5D threads for some more info.
What I would do is just pull one of the clips in to start and look at what the sequence settings are aftr Final Cut changes them for you - they should be fine generally, though you will want to change Codecs to Pro Res.
I like just batch conversion of all my clips from the 5D Markk II and then work from there. (I do not hook up the camera to the computer, just use a card reader.)

Which are the correct settings for gmail in MacBookPro

I want to use mac mail to access my gmail. Can I ? instead of going directly to web to access my gmail.? Which are the correct settings for the incoming and outgoing servers ?

Hi,
Yes. You can absolutely access your Gmail account from within either Mail or Microsoft Outlook for Mac. Make sure, that you have enabled POP/IMAP in your Gmail settings, then follow the instructions here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=180188 if you wish to access your account via POP3 instead of IMAP, change the incoming mail server to pop.gmail.com

BW error: "invalid call sequence for interface when recording changes"

I am getting the error "invalid call sequence for interface when recording changes" when I try to activate a datasource in BW. Any ideas on how to resolve this error?
Thanks.

I already tried that. This is what's happening.. When I get this error, if I try again it will activate and gets collected into a transport. I moved this transport to our QA system. As soon as I try to execute an infopackage under this datasource in QA, I get the error datasource xxxxx must be activated. Before the excecution of the infopackage, the datasource is in "Active version executable". After I get the error message "datasource must be activated", the datasource in the QA system changes to "Active version not executable". I am not sure all these issues are related back to the "invalid call sequence" error I am getting when I try to activate the data source.
I also tried recollecting the transport from our Dev system to QA and it still gives the above errors.
Any help?
Thanks.

Correct settings for DVD

Hi
I wish to know which are the correct settings for making a new project in imovie and then what to do for getting the best quality on DVD. (I use still pictures and video clips with music, transitions and effects)
Thank you so much.

ola
the correct format depends on the format your camera (PAL or NTSC - 4:3 or 16:9) meaning the project format should meet the camera format. pleas note that that format changes in iMovie/iDVD are effective only for new projects and cannot change existing ones. the dvd quality settings depend on the length of your movie and can be set in iDVD under preferences.
my movies are never longer than 30 min. so i set it to faster encoding and check background encoding ... i also tried with best quality once but frankly i can't see the difference
buona suerte & viva la mela

HT1277 i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline

i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline can anyone help

If you can receive mail and your connection to your ISP is otherwise working, but cannot send mail, then your SMTP settings are incorrect; the SMTP server port is wrong, your SSL setting is wrong, or the username or password credentials don't match what the ISP has, or your attempted accesses are being blocked or your ISP SMTP server is offline.
And in general, don't use port 25 for your outbound mail, unless your ISP specifically requires that; these days, that port is best left to communications between mail servers and (usually) not used by any mail clients.

Adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem

Hi,
I got this message after importing about ten or so H.264 files that I encoded from Adobe media encoder. "adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem."
The files we're shot with HD cameras. Edited in Premiere Pro CS3. I installed the update 3.0.1 with still the same error.
I also tried a brand new project and after about ten or so files being imported into a timeline, the system crash. I tried this twice....
    Thanks in Advance

Hi Hunt,
       Here is the skinny. A window base PC. footage shot with HD sony HD cameras, Project imported to Premiere CS3. Once completed sent file to Adobe media encoder and render them as H.264 widescreen high Quality. Imported them to Adobe Encore CS3. After about ten files or so. I got the error message. Did all the basic trouble shoot like restarting the computer, got latest patch. Even build a new test project with the same problem.
    Something else I read in the forums, is the encore will transcoded the project to Mpeg 2 anyway, after looking at my project I realized those few files were indeed untranscoded. So it will be a double compression and I dont want that. So, my new question is, what is H.264 good for ?????????? I was research that Mpeg 2 is a faster render but H.264 is a slower render but better quality.....
   what do you think ????

There is no facetime icon and never was. Facetime is built into the phone. Go to settings>general>restrictions and make sure facetime is ON. Go to settings>facetime and turn it on there and set it up there. Also read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268

Correct settings for flv video

I have a bunch of videos, which I exported from Premiere pro CS5.5 to mp4 files. After this I used the Media Encoder to encode those videos to flv-files. The I opened Flash pro CS5.5 > import video > publish as swf and html. Same settings in the Encoder and Flash but still only half of them work. Those sites / videos that don't work just load and load, but nothing happens. Only option I have so is to encode them again from mp4 to flv using different settings to find ones that work. Sometimes bitrate encoding should be CBR, but sometimes it's VBR. For some videos I should encode alpha channel and for others there is no need. This is so frustrating. I'm using a whole day with this trial & error thing. It's hard for me to believe, that encoding settings should have such effect on the outcome. Could someone please help me with this one?

Graficozzo
If you have 1920 x 1080 60i that 60i is not 60 frames per second but rather 60 fields per second. Consider that the same as 29.97/30 interlaced frames per second.
So, you want the Premiere Elements 11 project preset to be
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD HD 1080i30
but if you have 5.1 channel audio with your video instead of stereo, then you want to use the project preset
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD HD 1080i30 5.1 channel
When you drag your video for the first time to the Expert view Timeline, the project should set this project preset for you based on those video properties. You can check what it has set by looking at Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the reading for Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size. If it does not set the correct project preset, you can do that manually with File Menu/New/Project before you import you video into the project.
Please review the above. If you have any questions or need clarification on anything that I have written please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

What are best settings for host when PPTX is in continous loop

Thanks to help from Jorma is was able to set my PPTX in continous loop, and change the amount of seconds a slide was shown see how do i let a pptx presentation run on its own
There is only one issue left. What are the best settings. I find that to let it run, i need to press the sync button, but then the participants may choose (inadvertently) to stop the presentation from running in the loop.
What are the correct settings, so that a participant only sees the slides (no side bar etc) and the loop is running?
Your answer is very much appreciated

You shouldn't need to press the Sync button. In the Pod options menu for the share pod, with the PPT loaded, you will see an option for Show Presentation Playbar. Use that to get the Play button for the Hosts and Presenters in the room, and press play. The presentation will now play in a looped mode for everyone in a synchronized mode. You can also then hide the playbar to keep other Hosts and Presenters from stopping the playback and the Participants will never see the playbar or have the option to stop the presentation.
Additionally, if your focus is on the Share pod (has the focus highlight), you can use the 'P' key to begin playing the presentation without revealing the playbar to anyone. Adobe Connect 9 * Accessibility features

SAP on Ubuntu Correct settings for etc/hosts?

Hi,
I installed the SAP test drive version on Ubuntu (VirtualBox). After starting the SAP GUI (
/home/minisap/SAPClients/SAPGUI7.20rev5/bin/guistart /H/ubuntu64/S/3242
) I get the following error:
Error: partner 'ubuntu64:3242' not reached

System Call connect

'Connection refused'
I guess that the settings of the file etc/hosts are not correct. After the installation of ubuntu the file contains
10.0.2.15    ubuntu64    # Added by NetworkManager
127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost
::1    ubuntu64    localhost6.localdomain6    localhost6

fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
According to the test drive readme file I have to ensure that etc/hosts contain at least the following lines:
127.0.0.1      localhost
n.n.n.n      <HOSTNAME>.<DOMAINNAME>      <HOSTNAME>
n.n.n.n      nplhost
where "n.n.n.n" is a valid IP-adress.
I tried different settings but the above mentioned error still occurs... Does anyone know the correct settings of etc/hosts or know what the problem could be?
Thanks and regards
