Creating a "track" out of a shape

If I want to make one shape run along a path that is the same shape as an irregular line that I have created (think of a dot moving along a line graph at a constant speed), is there a way to make a duplicate of that line shape and then convert it into a path for another shape to follow? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

You can apply the Motion Path behavior to the "dot" and in the behaviors tab, change the path to Geometry then drag your irregular line into the source well.
For an example of how this is done, check out my Motion Path tutorial on You Tube.

  • Creating audio tracks in logic 8.

    Hi,
    Having used logic 8 for about half a year now I have had no problems whatsoever.
    However, about a week ago, when creating new audio tracks this happens.
    I create 2 tracks for example
    Audio track 1 works as normal and below the level meter at the bottom left I see the symbol to change from mono to stereo. I select it as mono.
    Audio track 2 looks normal at first but has no symbol at the bottom of the meter to select mono/stereo...
    I cannot do anything with this track. If I selected Audio track 1 as stereo. Audio track 2 comes up with the message:
    Audio 2
    Controlled by stereo object "Audio 1-2"
    I want it to go back to normal so I can record on every track! What is going on?!
    There is probably quite a simple fix for this... I just can't seem to work it out.
    Many thanks,

    How? This should work:
    Of course you need the command New... from the Local arrange menu Tracks. It sounds like you've used *New with Duplicate Setting* instead.
    However, you can reassign tracks by ctrl-clicking on the track header:
    Audio track 1 works as normal and below the level meter at the bottom left I see the symbol to change from mono to stereo. I select it as mono.
    Audio track 2 looks normal at first but has no symbol at the bottom of the meter to select mono/stereo...
    I cannot do anything with this track. If I selected Audio track 1 as stereo. Audio track 2 comes up with the message:

    You have two channel strips assigned to one track... reassign it, or just delete the 'slave' and create a fresh one. Again, it looks like you (or Logic) have used the *New with Duplicate Setting* command somehow.

  • Why do I get a Track out of memory error while running open loop frequency response?

    MatrixX Build 61mx1411: I get a "Track out of memory" error when I run the Open Loop Frequency Response from the MatrixX pull down tools. What can I do to prevent this? We are running on an HP B1000 with 768 MB of RAM under HP-UX 10.2.

    In the old days of Mx say Version 5 and prior the user actually selected the amount of memory that would be allocated. Depending on the size of the model etc. you would have to allocate memory. In version 6.0 and going forward there is no need for the user to manually allocate the memory.
    Build {rstack=50000,istack=200000,sstack=50000,cstack=50​0 000}
    If this is a command in a script file that you are running and the error is resulting from that then I would try commenting out everything after the letter d in the word build and then starting it back up.
    i.e. only use Build
    I don't believe that there is a way to manually allocate the initial SystemBuild Stack size.
    I believe initially the stack size is set to 10010.
    However, one way
    you can manually set the initial SystemBuild stack size,is to create a large StateSpace as soon as you start up SystemBuild. This will prevent piece-meal reallocs while using SystemBuild.
    You can created a new SuperBlock in SystemBuild and then drop down a StateSpace Block with 199 inputs and 199 Outputs and 1 State and entered ones(200,200)as the StateSpace Matrix without any problems. This would resize this internal stack to at least 40000.
    You really should not have to do this but if that helps then you might think about doing this in your startup.ms file you could use SBA or load the file then you could delete the superblock and begin working.
    "Bob" gave me this little tid bit.
    Please let me know if any of this is of use.

  • Creating Vocal Track

    Hello Everyone,
    I am a user of Logic Express 7 with intermediate skill. I have been working proficiently in Logic Express, but there is one thing that I have not been able to find out how to do. On many screenshots of Logic I have noticed that the lead vocals track is bigger and wider than all the other tracks and seems to show the pitch that one is singing. I have read the user's manual and past articles, but I have not been able to find out how to create a track with such attributes. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished?
    Thanks

    The 'lead vocal track' being bigger and wider is nothing magical. I believe that if you just highlight the track and type 'x', it will enlarge the track.

  • When creating new track in stereo... track opens in mono in arrange window

    Since upgrading to 8.0.2...weird things are happening to previously saved projects. Stereo tracks are opening up mono and affecting following track. When creating new tracks in stereo.... tracks open mono. I don't know if this is due to 8.0.2 but all these freaky things have happening since. Also, when previewing Apple Loops, I can only hear it on one side, but Loops sounds fine once dragged to arrange window. Is this common or is my computer haunted ? Should I call Ghost Busters ? HELP !!! lol

    Hi there,
    I'm having the same problem as well: creating new tracks results in a mono software instrument, not the usual stereo software instrument. BUT... "Universal Track Mode" is already checked in my Audio prefs. I unchecked & rechecked it, but to no avail... I'm still only getting mono software instruments.
    Any other ideas? No changes have been made to my system, and I'm running the latest version of Logic Pro.

  • How do I create a track with just controller MIDI data in it?

    How can I create a track with just MIDI controller data in it? 
    For example: I'd like to create a track that issues a bank change/patch change and sets the default volume for that track, and that's it.
    I can then use this setup as a template for future projects.
    How can I do this?
    It seems like LPX will not allow me to enter any controller data into a track without first defining a region. However, it seems that LPX also won't allow me to create a region with just controller data in it. 
    Ideas?
    Thanks

    Let me qualify, I'm using Logic 9, not upgrading for various reasons.
    Is this for an external Instrument? If so it's very easy to do using the inspector, but first you have to create an instrument in the environment. (at least in L9 and the way I do it, which is old school)  Here's an example of an external instrument setup in the Environment.
    A multi Instrument is created, channels 1, 2, 3, & 9 are active. Patch names are entered, format for bank change is selected. (just happens I selected channel 14 to open the patch names).  This Instrument will now appear in the arrange page, and you can set patch change, bank change, volume & pan.

  • Problem in creating a track

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a new track in NWDi like this
    1.created a product,sofware unit and software component and defined the dependencies(required components like BUILDT,JTECHS etc)
    2.Went to landscape configurator and clicked on track data and enter the track name and add the sc created .
    3.After adding the sc created required components came automatically in the track data screen.
    4.i saved the track data then it says track is created
    5.I went to NWDS and trying to import that track.
    6.i can see all the components in that track but inside each component like BUILDT i dont see any sda files(external libraries or jar files) they are just empty.
    Did i miss any step here in creating the track
    please help me in resolving this issue
    Bala

    Hi,
    Before going to 5th step you need to add one more step, you have to import required DCs in transport studio.
    Go to transprot studio in CMS, there you can find checkin and development tabs.
    Go to Checkin tab you can find the required DCs to import. If you cannot find your DCs to import you need to place thode DCs in "usr\sap\JTrans" directory. After checkin you need to import those in development tab.
    Then you have to go to NWDS and import the track

  • ITunes playing tracks out of order

    Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11 I've had a problem with some albums playing tracks out of order.
    I put the track number in the file names and track titles, so sometimes I leave the track number field blank. Not a problem, because iTunes sorts the tracks alphabetically so it lists them in the right order.
    In album view, if I select the first track, it plays all the tracks in the right order. But if I select the album, either by double-clicking the album cover or by searching for it from the mini player, it plays them in a random order.
    This makes no sense. What's going on here?   

    So that's an obvious solution (and what I just did in this particular case). But it's an annoying bit of extra work and, more importantly, since it was never necessary before, I have a lot of albums which don't have track numbers. Because, as I said, they always displayed and played in the correct order regardless. So the track number tag was extraneous.
    What I'm wondering is whether there's a fix for this behavior.
    And also whether it's possible to implore the iTunes development team to fix this! If the tracks are listed in a certain order, they should always play in that order.

  • Tracks out of order within Album... (Why?)

    Why on certain albums only are the tracks out of order on the Album view in ITunes 11?
    I have ensured that the Artist, Album Artist, Album, Year fields are all in sync.
    for 95% of my albums this is NOT an issue.
    When I navigate to the folder they are stored in using Finder I do notice that the songs out of order are in a different naming convention.
    (I do have ITunes set to manage the files)  <----- could this have been turned off by accident?
    I have no clue how to fix this. 
    I am an UBER library organizer and this just plain bugs me.
    Thanks for any/all help.

    I had the same problem.  Use GetInfo to take a look at the "info" of the tracks out of order.  I noticed that my tracks had blank values in the "Disc Number" boxes.  Once I filled them in, the view sorted correctly.

  • Tracks out of order and other problems

    For one of my albums, the tracks are all out of order. I have edited the information, and the track numbers are proper, but it will not order them correctly. I have even removed the files from Itunes and then added them again--still they do not go in order. Then when I move the files onto my Ipod they are out of order, and it's very annoying. If Itunes won't recognize the track numbers, how do I reorganize them?
    My other problem is manly with the Ipod. I'm not entirely sure what I did to cause this but on my Ipod, an artist is doubled. And yet when I view the songs list on Itunes (the list of my Ipod) there is only one artist. How am I supposed to fix this?
    I've tried everything I would know of, and neither problems can fix. Thanks to everyone who replies.

  • User based authorization to create Purchase Orders out of Purchase Req.?

    I am told the same can be achieved using same standard menu path in IMG/Customizing.
    Please advise with the menu path and detials, Usefull answers will be rewarded.
    Thanks

    Using OMET Function Authorization, you can restrict users to create Purchase orders without Purchase Reqn.
    Using OMET trxn code Create one Function Authorixation Called pr and in General Parameters tab Select the Field Selection and in Possible reference Objects Tab Mark the With ref to Prs check box and save.
    Next, you've got to associate via SU01 
    Click Parameters, insert a new parameter id EFB to the authorization code. 
    Type in Parameters value you want e.g. XX 
    You have to assign the control for ALL the SAP buyers via thier SAP users id.
    Logoff and login again. Then try to create a Purchase Order without a reference.
    From Next time whenever you try to create with out referring PR it will not allow you to Save PO.

  • How to create an iveiw out of an portal application

    hi
    1. Please help me in creating an iView out of an portal application.
    2. How you can view the created iView and how do you provide access to iView
        to particular users.
    Thanks in Advance
    Subramanya

    Hi subramanya,
    <i>Thanks for your help. I was albe to create iview and assign roles to it.</i>
    You are welcome!!
    <i>End user perspective what is use of having iView in the Portal.</i>
    Can you explain in detail what you want to know. I couldn't get you.
    <i>What i mean to say is if a user logs on to the portal can he able to see the IView
    that i have created ? How to make iView available to the end user.</i>
    See if you have made a role from the iView, and assigned that role to a user, then that user will be able to see the iView when he logins into the portal. Just like you have Content Administration, System Administration, and User Administration tabs (which are actually roles), he will get a tab of the role which you assigned to him. It would be better if you create a dummy user, and try assigning different roles to it. You can then come to how exactly it works.
    If you still face any problem, you can let me know.
    In this thread of yours, wherever i have answered to you, on the left panel, you will see three radio buttons, namely Solved Problem, Very Helpful Answer, and Helpful Answer. You can select any one, depending on how much the answer helped you.

    <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/crphelp#posted">How do I reward points?</a>
    Have a look at the table, the type of points you can give, and also the number of 10s, 6s, and 2s you can give. Also note that giving a 10 would mark the thread as answered, and you can give it only once.
