Crackle noise with plug-ins at the beginning of a region

I've experienced problems with some TC plug-ins and logic. Mostly with the Brickwall Limiter and TC Helicon Voice Modeler.
When I insert one of those plug-ins in a track, the crackle noise occures when the SPL is almost before the start of the region. So, when this region starts at measure 5 I hear this crackle noise somewhere in measure 4 (also in the bounce). And here is the most stupid workaround!! I have to place a dummy region before measure one of the song. Now, I can bounce the song (from measure -1). I still have this crackle at the beginning of my bounce (before the music starts) but now I can cut it because its at the beginning of the song. The crackle doesn't occure a second time, only when the first region on this track is passed.
I had some consultation with TC and they asked me to send them a file although they didn't know about this phenomenon.
They also recommended to experiment with "automatic delay compensation" and buffer size but it didn't help. Any ideas??

This has been the workaround for quite some time.
Someone else on this list had some luck with changing
Logic's process buffer and/or disk buffer size.

With plug-ins enabled the amount of memory required by FF increases over an hour or so to take up 1.7Gb of memory and then stops responding.

I have installed FF4.0 recently. My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.7. When I am running with the plug-ins active the following happens . .
Initial memory occupied is around 450 Mb.
Over a period of time 1-3 Hours ( it varies ) the memory used increases to 1.7Gb and my use indicator says this is 100% of available memory.
At that point FF4.0 ceases to respond while other applications are still working ( Mail etc. ).
If I start FF4.0 in safe mode the memory used stays around 500 Mb and is stable over a day at least.

i have that quicktime problem too

I am having trouble with plug-ins. How do I cure this? The last time I believe I had to update my operating system. My current operating sytstem is MAX OSx , Version 10.6.8

I am having trouble with plug-ins being blocked. I have an I-Mac, 2.4 Ghz processor, 2 GB memory, and using Safari as my browser. My operating system is MAC OSX Version 10.6.8

Any particular plugin or all of them? If Adobe Flash Player, try un-installing and then re-installing.

Allow integration of Noise-Reduction plug-ins to ACR

My experience is that the noise reduction plug-ins like Neat-Image, NoiseNinja, etc. are significantly better than NR in ACR 5.x. The marketing material about LR-3 (ACR-6) touts that NR is better, that my limited experience with the LR-3-beta is that its NR is stll underwhelming.
My budget is limited ... it stung to spend big bucks on CS4, then about $70 on Neat Image 6.1 because ACR 5.x NR was, IMO, inadequate.
I'm not an ACR/CS4 expert, but my impression with high ISO pictures is that you want to do sharpening near the end of the workflow, especially after NR. I would like to use the much improved sharpening (and Clarity) that is available in ACR 5.x, but that detracts from the effectiveness of the NR plug-in, especially for high-ISO pictures. It doesn't seem to matter that much with low-ISO DSLR images.
I would appreciate the Adobe PS team working with the the NR plug-in vendors to give them a "hook" into the ACR pipeline. Their plug-in would be invoked by the ACR "engine" at the appropriate point in the pipeline, perhaps very early even before White-Balance and exposure/brighness/contrast adjustments.
In a batch of "sync-all", my impression is that you want NR to act on the "raw - raw" image before any exposure or contrast adjustments. When you increase exposure for an underexposed image, the shadows becomre noiser, and this can throw off pre-built noise profiles (as least that is my experience with Neat-Image 6.1).
My preference is to do as much of the Post-Processing as possible in ACR for images that don't need layers. That way I can minimize use of PS when appropriate. At this time, I find myselft invoking PS for all images to do NR.
But perhaps I'm mis-informed (wouldnt' be be first or last). I've had email correspondence with the Neat-Image support person (also may the be developer?), and my understanding is that such as "hook" isn't available.
Of course, the really preferred suggestion would be for ACR to have as good or better NR as the plug-ins, but until then, it would be appreciated for Adobe CS4 to be more "plug-in friendly".

Firefox plug in container has stopped working, even in safe mode with plug ins disabled

My firefox keeps crashing every 5 - 10 minutes. Sometimes I get a windows error message saying "firefox plugin container stopped working", but most times I don't. These are the actions I've taken so far, with no effect:
1. Updated all my plug-ins
2. Run firefox in safe mode with plug-ins disabled
3. Uninstalled and reinstalled firefox
4. Run an AVG scan which turned up nothing
Can anyone offer advice on how to fix this (very annoying) problem?
I've had to write this in IE because firefox wouldn't stay open long enough for me to copy and paste it into the text box.

How do I visually monitor instrumental plug-ins from the SAME computer??

Hello -
My set-up is noted below. Please note that my audio device for my main computer (the Mac Pro) is the _Motu 2408 MK3_.
For larger sequencing projects, I use up to a choice of three slave computers (an aging Dell Precision Workstation, a Receptor and a MacBook Pro). I am happy to say that all works fine with this set up.
I own many instrumental plug-ins for the MacPro (and the slave computers). Most of the instrumental plug-ins in this computer (and the others) are "powered" by Native-Instrument's Kontakt 2 Player or the full version of Kontakt 2.
For the first time, I was experimenting with the MacPro's IAC Driver. So, for example, I was able to get the piano to play using Kontakt 2 OUTSIDE of the Logic program using the IAC Driver. It is very nice to know that I am able to do this. However, I was not able to visually monitor the audio signal from within Logic as I was playing the piano sound from the "external" Kontakt 2 program. So, to clarify my problem, I could hear the piano, but I could not see the audio signal on the audio meter from within Logic.
First, I tried using the Logic's "*External Instrument*" plug-in. That did not work. Second, communicating with the "external" Kontakt 2 program using Logic's midi instrument via the IAC driver, I tried monitoring the audio signal using an Audio Channel from Logic. I Could not figure out how to route the audio signal so that it could be seen by Logic, so that did not work.
I tried seeing if I could somehow configure the 2408 MK3 driver and CueMix Console. Nothing.
So, here is my question (possibly two questions):
1) Is it possible to configure the MOTU 2408 MK3 device so that I can monitor audio signals from within Logic that originate from instrumental plug-ins activated OUTSIDE of Logic?
If yes, then. . .
2) HOW do I configure the MOTU 2408 MK3 device and/or configure Logic so that the audio signals can be monitored? (And so that I can add EQ and audio effects, etc.??)
Thank you in advance. . .
Ted

First, noequplease, THANK YOU very much for taking the time to answer my question. I sincerely appreciate the time and effort that you shared!!!
I need to clarify myself, I guess. These are not "external" synths in the literal sense. Everything is "internal" within the same computer (the MacPro) as the Logic Pro program. These are instrumental plug-ins like the *Kontakt 2 Player* or the *Kontakt 2* (full version). What I've learned how to do is connect to these instrumental software plug-ins external from the Logic Pro program via the IAC Driver. So, it's all "internal" within the computer, just "external" from Logic. (If that makes sense.)
The reason I'm attempting to connect Logic this way is so that I can use more of the 8 GBs of RAM found within my MacPro. So, in other words, I would use the Kontakt 2 Player as an instrumental plug-in within the Logic Pro program and ALSO connect Logic Pro to the "external" *Kontakt 2 Player* (the _stand alone_ plug-in version) via the IAC Driver.
I can communicate with the stand alone version(s) of Kontakt via the IAC driver. Sound is coming out. However, I have yet to figure out a way route the audio signals from the stand alone plug-in to inside Logic.
I suspect that your suggestion of using an external mixer might be the answer (despite using computer-based instrumental plug-ins). I don't think that there's a way of routing the audio signal from a stand alone plug-in to Logic without the use of some kind of mixer. I most probably will need a digital mixer to take advantage of the 2408 MK3's ADAT digital signals to route the signals back into the MacPro. Sadly, I can't afford a digital mixer at this time.
I don't know. . . .
BUT, like I said in my original post, my CURRENT set-up using the "slave" computers works just fine. I'm just trying to figure out a way to make use of all of my MacPro's 8 GBs of RAM. UGH.
Any ideas??

Safari problem with plug-ins

I'm having problems with plug-ins in Safari 4.0.5 (6531.22.7).
Within the past two days, Flash, and today, Java applets will not work in Safari. I get the following error messages:
"The page “The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed."
"This page has content of MIME type “application/x-java-applet”, but you don’t have a plug-in for this MIME type. This page may have the plug-in for you to download and install:
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/6u16/index.html
Do you want to open the page?"
Java worked as of 3/31. It was on that date, that I first noticed the Flash/Shockwave notices.
My 5 most recent updates through Software update were:
3/31/10 AirPort Base Station Update 5.5.1
3/31/10 iTunes 9.1
3/29/10 Mac OS X Update 10.6.3
3/24/10 Safari 4.0.5
2/7/10 iTunes 9.0.3
As of today, I have repaired disk permissions, reset Safari & emptied Safari's cache.
The plugins that are in my disk:library:Internet Plug-Ins folder are:
AdobePDFViewer, DivXBrowserPlugin, DRM Plugin, Flash Player, flashplayer.xpt, Flip4Mac, Google Earth, iPhotoPhotocast,ipxBrowserPlugin (folder), JavaPluginCocoa.bundle,NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave, npdivx.xpt, NPSVG3Carbon, nslQTScriptablePlugin.xpt, QuartzComposer.webplugin, AuickTime Plugin, RealPlayer Plugin.
In my user:Library:Internet Plug-Ins folder are: fbplugin1_01 & fbplugin1_03.
This is all on my primary account, which is an administrator account.
FireFox loads the Flash/Shockwave just fine.
I created a new account, logged in with that, and it does not have the same problems. It can see the Flash content on the NY Times site fine.
Any suggestions on more things to do?
Thank you.

Hi Larry
re Mail - which may be a separate issue - many people have found that opening Java Preferences (Applications/Utilities/) & clicking both Restore Defaults buttons, stopped an 'attachments not showing
in Mail with missing plugin icon' problem.
In Safari - is it just Flash you don't see?
Try trashing Flash's settings & storage folder - Home/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/
and a Flash cache folder - Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player/
If no better, there must be a preference file awry in your usual account, or some extra software beyond those facebook plugins.

Thanks Andy's FREE plug-ins (especially the 4:3 to 16:9 "fake" anamorphic)

This a message to "Andy" who frequents this discussion group. It was for his comments on his plug in site (Great free and useful plug-ins by the way) but the image verification isn't working. Others may find it useful if they're interested in converting old 4:3 video to 16:9 widescreen TV's.

Hi Andy, excellent filter addressing something of an issue for me right now (converting old 4:3 video to 16:9 aspect for viewing on my plasma)
You're being a little hard on yourself saying is far from perfect; it's more like "nearly perfect" I've been experimenting with it, and before that Mattais Sandstrom's Smart anamorphic from Too Much too soon plugins. That was a script that I tried to modify (knowing nothing of computer code; just FCP's plugin builder) and I know it's a ***** getting the kinks out of the "bending" around the points of distortion. You've managed very well and with possibly a smoother blend (Protection override helps) this could be perfect. As it is, the user control; the ability to keyframe the sliders makes this a great plugin. I've done some tests and like you say, a static image works great. the give away is a panning shot or if you keyframe the protected area to move (to sometimes track a subject) That said it's densely detailed backgrounds that give away effect; out of focus works a treat. I tend to key frame on the edit so on the next frame the area has has jumped to protect another subject. If I have to track a figure for instance I try to keep the move as long as possible so the effect of "bulging" is gradual and less noticable. I also "squeeze" the footage slightly to produce two slight black bars either side of the screen, barley noticable, bur lessens the stretching of the protection override. ( I have best "compromise" settings of protection width 30, Protection override 3-6, and elasticity of 4) I think if you can smooth out that distortion around the protected area you'll have a "perfect" plug-in! I'd even make a donation to see this gets done! Great work Andy, Thanks!

if the source is 4:3 and the target is 16:9 then you will need to blow-up the image so that the horizontal axis fills the 16:9 image width ... that means you will have to crop the image either top or bottom or a bit of both.
simplest is to nest the 4:3 sequence into a 16:9 one and then resize the nest to 133% using the motion tab scale attribute and accept the default centre cut cropping of top and bottom of the image.
for more control you may want to reframe each shot for best placement

HI David ,
The Procedure given in the tutorial has given the steps as shown below but they have not given the detailed steps that how can we create the
1. Data Objects ,
2. Create back-end adapters
3. Create associations ,
4. Activate the data objects and the back-end adapters in the DOE ,
5. Create a distribution model and Assign this distribution model to your test device
    The tutorial discribes in the below shown manner .
      1.      Create an SWCV called ServiceOrderManagement.
      2.      In the ServiceOrderManagement SWCV, create the standard data objects: Customersand ServiceOrders.
The Customer data object must have the following attributes:
○       CUSTOMERID
○       CUSTOMERNAME
○       STREET
○       ZIPCODE
○       TOWN
○       REGION
The ServiceOrders data object must have the following attributes:
○       CUSTID
○       ORDERID
○       EQUIPTYPE
○       DESCRIPTION
○       PERC_DONE
○       HOURS_SPENT
○       MATERIAL
       3.      Create back-end adapters for the data objects.
       4.      Create associations between the two data objects: the CUSTOMERID attribute of the Customer data object must have as association with the CUSTID attribute of the ServiceOrder data object.
       5.      Activate the data objects and the back-end adapters in the DOE.
       6.      Create a distribution model for the data objects and activate them.

No destructive editing using installed plug-ins in the sample editor.

It is a shame that it looks like there still is no destructive editing using installed plug-ins in the sample editor. Seems very obvious to me that this feature should be included in Logic. Very disappointing. I’m assuming that you will be able to do this via Soundtrack Pro, but that’s just another layer added to the work flow.

fermusic wrote:
in any case there are no reason to use Soundtrack pro for make a destructive editing with AU plugins.
While everything you say is absolutely correct, in terms of being able to do this within Logic itself, there are times when using Soundtrack Pro does make more sense for destructive printing of AU FX's.
High pass filtering a vocal track with a lot of plosives comes to mind. It's easier to destructively apply the AU high pass filter on just the plosive syllable, or waveform in STP, than in Logic.
Same goes for some extreme cases of De-essing.
With STP selected as your external audio editor, it's very easy to use from within Logic. The two co-exist quite gracefully.
I'd personally love to see Logic adapt some of STP's destructive capabilities, and I'd actually be surprised if we didn't see that at some point in it's evolution.
But I say none of this to dismiss what you've generously offered here. The information you provided in your first post is important for the Logic novice to be aware of.

Is it possible to change order of plug-ins in the environment?

Hi
I know how to change the order of the plug-ins in the arrange window (command and drag). When I try this in the environment it changes to the midi assign tool instead. Does anyone know of a way to change the order of pluggins on audio objects in the environment?
Thanks

May I ask why you want to do this?

Try #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
