Correct way to load Logic

Dear Forum:
Since I should be recieving a MacPro and Logic8 shortly, I'd like to understand the correct method to install Logic.
Since I don't have a clear understanding on this, as you'll see, please make any corrections.
Initially, I will have three 750 gig HDs in addition to the Apple 750 gig HD as supplied, for a total of four.
I think I am supposed to install its application to one HD, its sounds and or waves/samples to another HD and maybe the softsynths on another?
If thats true, is it obvious during the install, to be able to identify them and proceed?
What brand/type of HDwould be best as all of the reviews of the top drives show better performance in different areas.
If I am concerned about actual performance from playback of synths, exs24 samples and audio tracks, is this considered a read/stream operation concerning disc testing results? In other words, which performance test data is most meaningful for my type of disc useage?
I do want to start off correctly.

Almost right. The application AND the softsynths AND the Samples/Instruments will/must/shall all be installed on your startup disk. You can move the instrument samples to an external HD after installation, placing aliases in the original folder, but they have to be in a specific folder on the Startup disk first. Here's how to do that:

Apple Loops can/should be installed on an external HD.
If thats true, is it obvious during the install, to be able to identify them and proceed?
Yes, the installer will not allow you to put things in the 'wrong' place.
What brand/type of HDwould be best as all of the reviews of the top drives show better performance in different areas.
It depends, although most major brand 7200 rpm disks with sufficient buffer size will do just fine. But one of the many professionals here may give you more solid advice than I can. SC? BJ? PC? DH? Z? NQ? JF? JA? iS? MS? SM? JC? AM? Anyone?
If I am concerned about actual performance from playback of synths, exs24 samples and audio tracks, is this considered a read/stream operation concerning disc testing results?
Yes.

For recording, the write performance is (dûh!) important, for playback/sample sreaming it is read/stream.

Correct way of loading jquery-ui

Hi there,
I am trying to load jquery-ui using yepnope method however it does not seem to work. I have read yepnope is deprecated now. What's the correct way of loading it on the whole stage.
I want to play with .draggable/.droppable things.
I'm using the latest Adobe Edge Animate CC (2014.1.1)
On the CompositionReady for the stage I wrote
// insert code to be run when the composition is fully loaded here
yepnope(
    nope:[
        'js/jquery-ui.min.js',
    complete: init
); // end of yepnope
function init() {
// the code for draggable and droppable will be between the curly brackets { }
sym.$('rectsym').draggable();
} // end of init
rectsym is a rectangle that I converted to a symbol and called 'rectsym'.
js/jquery-ui.min.js exists.
Here are the file list in the main directory:
dragdrop (AN file)
dragdrop (HTML doc)
js/
jquery-ui.min
edge_includes/
edge.5.0.1.min
When I preview it in a browser the rectangle is not draggable at all.
Thanks

If you are using the latest version of EA use script loading
make sure you load jquery first
add jquery-ui
You will need to drag the js file in the order below if they are not in the script loading.
I guess I need to add new versions of the demo files on edgehero.
All should work as expected. No need to add yepnope - it is integrated with EA anyway.
If you are using the previous version of EA:
jquery is included with EA so you do not need to include it in the script loading panel
add jquery-ui in the script panel
All this should work.
If you want you can also use touch-punh for mobiles - Make sure that it is the last on the list in the script panel.
I have use this for a long time and the only time it does not work is when my code for draggable is incorrect. So debug, use the console. Make sure your code is correct.

Correct way bounce a master mix from Logic?

I've been trying to bounce a master mix straight from Logic using AdLimiter (and in some cases multipressor) in the master output. I must be doing something wrong, because I always end up with totally mashed, pumping and overdriven bounced mixes, even with just a 2-3 dB AdLimiter gains.
I've previously used setup on PC where I bounced a dry mix, loaded the bounced mix to Soundforge (or similar editor), normalized to 0dB, then added Waves C4 and L1 (in that order) and used maybe 5dB gain with L1. Then render.. and that way I got a nice loud "master mix".
I now don't have access to waves plugins nor an external wave editor. So I figured I could do pretty much the same in Logic, if I monitor the mix, so that the master output doesn't clip, but peaks stays at around -0.5dB, so that I don't really need to normalize. Then I add Multipressor and AdLimiter in that order and start tweaking. But I'm not doing something right here, because now I get a very quiet (and limited?) signal, because I have previously had to lower the master output volume to prevent clipping. Any gain over 1dB I do to AdLimiter makes the mix sound like crap. Plus the whole mix is now -6dB or so, because of the previous volume limiting to prevent clipping.
That was a bit of a long story, but I hope someone understands the question I tried to ask.
But in short, I'd like to bounce a nice mix which is compressed and limited to be around -5 to -7 dB louder than the original mix. What is the correct way to do this?
Thanks!

You might want to check out other mastering plugins. I'm not a big fan of the AdLimiter. Universal Audio's UAD1 (http://www.uaudio.com/) with the Precision Limiter gives very nice results. There are also some nice compressors available for the UAD1. Another possibility is buying the waves L3 to do the limiting, but this plugin is relatively expensive. Both options aren't cheap, though, but they will give better results than the Adlimiter.
by the way: Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) is a nice freeware audio editor. Nothing fancy, but it works.

What is the correct way to set up a new Mac

A friend of mine recently migrated from Windows and bought himself an iMac. He got the local Apple store to set up his iMac and migrate his data from his Windows to his iMac. I was recently helping him set up a few a additional things on his iMac and was supprised to see how the Apple store had set up the machine.
There was only one account set up on the iMac and all of the user data had been loaded into this admin account. Now I've only been a Mac user for about 5 years, but I was always taught create an admin account with no data on it and then set up a separate user account(s) which contain all the user data and these are used by the users to log in.
Now my question is who is right the Apple shop or me? I would e intertested to hear any experts views on the correct way to set up an OSX machine.

Both of you. Either way is acceptable. However, for a single user machine there's really no need to have more than the admin account.

Is this a good way for loading and handling an xml file?

I'm new to xml files, but it seems to me that a good way to handle them may be this:
- create an xmltype table with a unique xmltype column
- load the xml file in the xmltype column of the table
- writing a procedure for scanning the whole column of the table by using the extractvalue built-in function for inserting the different nodes of the xml file (just loaded) in the final tables (to link correctly the father and son tags with foreign keys)
Does it seem to you a good way to load the nodes of a xml file in a relation database?
Thanks!

Is this the 10gR2 Express Edition you mentioned over in How to load a XML file into a table or a different version?

Which is the correct way to program a Desktop Application???

Hello all,
I haven't programmed in a while and I just got the free Netbeans 6.1 CD just for kicks and to try it out. I'm making a basic application for a store that one of my family members has. I was programming away as I could and right now I came to a conclusion... I think I maybe doing this wrong.
I have done all the GUI using the Netbeans IDE plugin visual designer and I just click on the button and add the event and then I program away. But just right now I noticed another file that is called NameOfProgramApp.java. Then I look to the right and I have NameOfProgramView.java where I have been placing most of my code. Is this the right place to put the code???
I think I maybe missing something or maybe doing some lousy code writing. Any help would be awsome. Is this where I put my Object Oriented think hat on to accomplish the correct way??
Thanks in advance and it feels good to be back :D

A general rule of thumb that I use it to think in layers...
--GUI {What you show the use}
--GUI code logic {local rules and edits}
--WEB/Network {interface for multiuser}
--BUSINESS RULES {rules and coding to make your business work}
--DATABASE {where do you store your durable data}
Granted, this is a very simplistic look, but it will get you a start a thinking process for your app.

Ok, does anyone know the correct way to do this

Hi all
would someone beable to explain the correct way of attaching dynamic text to a rotaing menu so that the text moves with the image as it rotates,
I am now being told that in order to have dynamic text rotate/move I have to embed the font, by placing a text field on the stage outside my flash area and then set embedFonts property to true, and then apply a textformat.
first, is this the correct way of doing it?
second, can someone please explain(by breaking down into steps, as I am a newbie) how I go about setting embedFonts property to true and applying a textformat.
what I have created;
1.)I created a movieclip called 'textHolder' inside this has two dynamic text fields called 'headerText' & 'bodyText' <<<<< IS THIS CORRECT?
2.)I have an xml file which will load the text in as well as the images with the rotating menu, see below; <<<IS THIS CORRECT????
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<data>
<image name="image 1" path="img/img1.jpg"
    textHolder.headerText="Sunset"
    textHolder.bodyText="The hour of night is near, as the skies get blood-filled" />
<data>
3.What I am missing is what script I need for the main.as file, can anyone help here?
so to break down.
I have a rotating menu that is driven by xml, that loads images on the menu. I would also like to load text to the left of each image, and have the text be fixed with the image as it rotates.
I can post the as, but I would like to know if the above is correct first, if you would like to see the main script please say.
I have attached a jpg layout to give you an idea as to what I am trying to explain. can someone please help!!!!!!!!!
(this is my previous post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/463213?tstart=0 but I feel its got lost a little along the way)

What are different ways to load a class

what are different ways to load a class??

Please help me out.And this means essentially nothing.
Essentially there is only one way. Through a ClassLoader, and it's loadClass method. Now, there are multiple ways of invoking this, however, either directly or indirectly.
Edit: There is, of course, other things, such as defineClass in ClassLoader, that lets you manually read a class defintion from somewhere, anywhere, and define, which, logically, also "loads" it.
Now, once again, What are you trying to do? "something" and "exploring the java" are meaningless in this form. If you tell us what, exactly you are trying to do, we could actually help you do it!

Hi

Logic is designed to run from your Applications folder. I suspect if Logic was moved to an external drive, it might not be able to locate its assets, like loops and libraries.
As long the necessary files are in the correct places on the boot disc, you can run the Logic application itself fom wherever you like. It would not be recommended however, and there would be very little benefit (if any) in doing so.

Attaching and Detaching Observers to a document, what is the correct way?

Hi,
I came across below code snippet in many of the sample PLugins where Observer is being:
Attached on the kAfterOpenDocSignalResponderService
Detached on the on kBeforeCloseDocSignalResponderService
Same DocRef is being used in both the cases but the Observer being referenced is new each time, so is it a correct way to do it? and Will it work?
GTTxtEdtResponder::attachDetachStoryObserver(UIDRef storyUIDRef, bool16 bAttach)
ErrorCode status = kFailure;
do{
// while we observe all stories (whether they are accessible or not), we only let accessible
// stories affect the cache. See the observer implementation for this logic.
InterfacePtr<IObserver> iGTTxtEdtObserver(storyUIDRef,IID_IGTTXTEDTSTORYOBSERVER); //<--new reference created
if (iGTTxtEdtObserver == nil){
ASSERT_FAIL("GTTxtEdtResponder::attachDetachStoryObserver - no observer on story?");
break;
bAttach ? iGTTxtEdtObserver->AutoAttach() :iGTTxtEdtObserver->AutoDetach();
status = kSuccess;
}while (kFalse);
return status;
If you look closely, you can see that every time a detach is being called after attach, a new Observer reference is created.
Is correct way to do it?

Hello kapoor_aman27,
with InterfacePtr you create a new reference to the observer not a new instance of the observer. The reference will be destroyed at the end of the function or code block. The instance of the observer will be destroyed if the reference Counter will be 0. So the instance of the observer is the same at attach and detach. The InterfacePtr (i.e. the reference to the observer) is temporary in each function.

Correct way to upgrade from LP 8 to 9 with all the extra content?

I know that Apple has moved around the default folders for Apple Loops and extra audio content with different versions of Logic. When upgrading from a full install of LP8 to LP9, what is the correct way to do that. I'm worried I may get duplicate Apple Loops etc.
Should I just run the installer and install all 9 discs to the default settings, or do I need to pay attention to which folders the extra audio content goes? I'm seeing a scenario where the Jam Packs from LP8 are in a different folder than the default for LP9 and so will get installed a second time.

Thank you for your reply. So the jam Packs are identical to LP8? Then I can skip thoseI have a pretty good idea of where the actual files are located. So I should be able to figure it out.
How can I the make sure that every file on the disk is actually in the loop browser , and to avoid duplicates? Over the years as directories have been changed for GB and LP, it's been quite confusing, especially since I already had some Jam Packs and also Soundtrack Pro and corresponding Loops before they became part of LP and some other Loop packages. Is it really as easy as deleting everything in the Loop Browser and then dragging all the folders from the HD in there?

Plz help me to correct unsatisfiedlinkerror - on loading a library file

Dear friends,
I have to load a .dll file through System.loadLibrary() method. Dll file is stored in c:\<appname>\lib\sample.dll in server machine.when a client calls this java prgm,dll has to be loaded to client machine.JVM searches the dll file only in the directories which are specified in PATH env variable.
Before calling System.loadLibray("libraryname"),I include my library path to PATH variable by the following way
Process p=Runtime.getRuntime.exec("command.com /c set PATH=" + "\\\\<servername>\\c\\<appname>\\lib" + "%PATH%;") ;
System.loadLibrary("libname");
Unsatisfiedlinkerror no <libraryname> was found in java.library.path
I also try to include my library path in java.library.path through System.setProperty() method. But the same error is arrised.
The dll file is loaded only when, I include my library path in autoexec.bat file. But this is not the correct way.I have to set my library path through java program only. (os -Windows 98 in Both server and client)
Plz help to solve this plm.

Instead of setting path thru command come set path vis System.getProperty("path") then add ur path in return value. Set modified path again as System.setProperty("path", value). Try this solution.

What's the correct way to set up an external style playing keyboard

Hi
what's the correct way to set up an external style playing keyboard?
i want the keyboard to use the Logic's voices, and also to record the midi that is being inputed.
I can do it on One Channel, but when I selct multiple channels, all the channels seem to play all of the input data!!!
anybody??

Check the formatting. It need to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). This is also known as HFS+.
FAT32 and NTFS formatting will not work with iMovie.
If necessary, you can reformat using Disk Utility.
Make one large partition. No need for multiple partitions.
Do moves or copies to the external drive through iMovie as detailed in iMovie Help. If you move Events in the Finder, they may become unlinked from the projects that use them.

Correct way of using LayeredPane for animation

Hi,
before I post my questions some background info (it has become quite a long story sorry for that, you can skip to the bottom if you want):
i'm not an expert java programmer so I appologize for any stupid questions or remarks.
Currently i'm implementing a road traffic simulation. Cars drive over roads, intersections etc. To make the movements/animation look smooth i've used doublebuffering or page flipping (I'm not sure while I used the getBufferStrategy() from a JFrame: strategy = frame.getBufferStrategy(); )
To add my own JButtons created from .png file I've switched off the RepaintManager by creating a NullRepaintManager. The simulation thread is responsible for calling the repaint function, which is done every few milliseconds after the positions of the cars are updated. These buttons are added to the ContentPane of the frame which is made non-opaque to make the roadnetwork and cars visible (*i don't understand this)
Btw I've 'borrowed' these ideas from 'developing games in java ' from Brackeen: http://www.brackeen.com/javagamebook/
The roadnetwork and cars are drawn on the a Graphics2D by calling: (Graphics2D)strategy.getDrawGraphics(); first I draw an image of the roadnetwork to clear the old vehicle positions and then the new positions of the cars are drawn. after that the screen/frame is updated: strategy.show();
This all works fine.
The problems start when I want to have a popup JPanel to appear on the screen after I clicked somewhere on the roadnetwork. According to Brackeen this can be done by initializing a JPanel and add it to the LayeredPane of the JFrame and make it visible when needed. This does not work while the JPanel never pop's up and I don't understand why not, because the demo from brackeen works fine. When I add this JPanel to the contentPane it does popup but the buttons are shifted to the right which is not what i want.
Also I want to add a JMenuBar to the frame, i thought I could simply used: frame.tsetJMenuBar(menuBar);
however the menubar shows up next to my custom JButtons....
====>My Questions:
What is the correct way to draw smooth animations inJava without slowing down the whole program when quite a large area has to be draw... this seems to happen e.g. in the Java demos: ..\jfc\Java2D
How can I popup JPanels or internalFrames ontop of the animation?? probably by using the LayeredPane?
I also want to add a JMenuBar in the normal position.
Sorry for the long text and questions... but I'm struggling for almost two month with this now (using an increadible number of java books) and haven't solved it yet.
Any suggestions are welcome Thanks in advance!!

It gets the first address from the pxelinux.0, another one is usually handed down after it boots, but sometimes it reuses it again.
Usually what happens on a diskless system is it tries to use the dhcpcd lease from the last diskless workstation (or possibly reuses the same one it gets from pxelinux.0). But it has enough logic built into that it looks for another unique address for the next diskless workstation.
Do you have your pxeclient.cfg/default appended options set correctly to be ip=::::::dhcp?
Of course from the diskless wiki:
label archxx
kernel archxx/boot/vmlinuz-linux
append init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd initrd=archxx/boot/initramfs-linux.img root=/dev/nfs rootfstype=nfs nfsroot=xx.xx.xx.xx:/srv/tftp/archxx,v3,rsize=16384,wsize=16384 ip=::::::dhcp

[JSF 1.2] - Role Based Web Application: Whats the correct way of doing it?

Hello,
i have a web application that in some pages is role based. I have two database tables, Role and Permissions. Role can have 1..N Permissions and vice versa.
In one page i need to render some forms depending on user role.
What is the best approach to this?
1. I have a sessionBean and on login load all the permissions (it's less secure but faster) based on user role;
2. Everytime i use rendered="#{sessionBean.checkPermissions['can-create']}" i query the database. This checkPermissions gets the user role and retrieve all permissions of that user on demand;
The first option is faster but while the user is logged if permissions changes we might have problems.
The second, if i user 3 rendered attributes i do 3 queries to the database.
Is rendered attribute the correct implementation?
Regards.

Yes, the rendered attribute is the correct way to accomplish this.
As to the question of caching the result or querying the database each time, that is something that needs to be answered on an application by application basis.
