Do your arpeggiators behave oddly?

Does anybody else find they need time to kick in. Is this considered normal for Logic?
Also, can anyone explain how to record bussed channels. In Pro Tools, its simply a matter of changing the I/O on the channels but how does it work in Logic? Must I always bounce or freeze then raid the freeze folder? And why can I only bounce up to 24 bits but the freeze files are 32?
Thanks. I used to come to this forum alot under a different alias. This is my first post in a while cause I just really have to know how others are doing these tasks.

Ken,
The arpeggiator is definitely not "smart" in that it would have trouble interpreting particular chords. So we can rule that out.
Quantized notes, or notes played even slightly ahead of the beat (but not so ahead that they fall on a quantize point) should be played by the arpeggiator just fine. You didn't specify how much of a delay there was, so I can't comment on the possibilty of there being a timing issue with respect to when you played notes and when the arpeggiator "wants to see" the notes.
You might also want to insure that notes do not overlap in your arpeggiator's source track. There are several commands that address note overlapping in the various editors.
I'd suggest doing a test: play a simple chord progression of whole notes which include some common notes between chords. Look in the Matrix Editor, for example, and make sure the notes are quantized to beat 1 of each bar and that the note lengths don't exceed 1 bar in length (in fact, make them about 10 ticks shy of a full bar). Run the arpeggiator and see how it all plays down. If there are no problems, then increase the length of the notes by a few ticks and see what the "tolerance" of the arpeggiator is to handling overlapping notes.
Bouncing: You can use the menu-based Bounce command without having to do anything special if the sound you're playing is routed to outputs 1/2. But in general, when you want to bounce the output of a buss, you perform the bounce from the output object (where you'll find a bounce button), not the buss itself. So get your sound all set up, make sure all elements are going to the same output (any output) and perform your bounce from there.

Is your Mail behaving oddly?

Hi there,
I have a .Mac account. I have the following weird behaviours:
1) When I read something, the email is not being marked as unread.
2) Sometimes I can't delete what I have just read.
3) it exaggerates the number of emails that are supposed to be in my inbox. (e.g. at the moment I am supposed to have 13 in my inbox, but I can only count seven).
4) Now it won't show what is supposed to be in my Inbox (but is not saying that the application is not responding).
5) I also appear to have gained a new .Mac account. which I want to get rid of but don't know how.
Er, any thoughts?
All the best and thanks,

Mail.app is behaving oddly rather suddenly for me, too. But just like the other person I'm not having a problem similar to the one you describe. Instead the issue I have is an ability to quit the software. The only way to quit this app right now is to shutdown my computer. Otherwise, if you try quitting you get into a loop. The app appears to quit, but then after seeming to have quit for a few seconds, it opens itself again and the loop continues. No other problems have accompanied this. I've done no upgrades that might have lead to this.

Trackpad behaves oddly when firewire is used

All of a sudden my trackpad start to behave oddly when I have a firewire device connected. Specifically a MOTU Ultralite mk3 hybrid paired with a MOTU ultralite mk3 firewire. The problem started yesterday when I launch Logic Pro X. a minutes after the trackpad starts to be unresponsive and the pointer moving in wrong direction or jumping.
I tried to reset the PRAM with no luck. Even worst, when I tried to boot the macbook pro after rebooting the system freezes on the logo screen when the firewire port is used with that device. when I disconnect the firewire port the problem totally goes away.

RE: Guiness (nee Harpoon) Solution
Perhaps it is now time for the Harpoon solution (aka the Guinness solution in the mid and far west)
for those not in the know:
1. turn everything off.
2. unplug firewire cables
3. unplug power cords
4. get up from well worn chair
5. walk to refrigerator
6. open refrigerator
7. remove bottle of Harpoon (Guinness, local micro brew, etc)
8. pop cap
9. pour into glass ( you AREN'T going to drink it from a bottle, are you?)
10. sip responsibly. enjoy the moment. think pure thoughts
11. return to kitchen. If less than 15 minutes has elapsed, have another. Otherwise, retrurn to edit room.
12. Plug everything back together
12. fire up external monitors, VTR, external hard drives & computer in that order.
Does it work now? If yes, congratulate your self. If not, oh well, but at least you are in a much better frame of mind to begin some serious troubleshooting.

OS 10.3.9 Running slowly and behaving oddly

My system has been behaving oddly recently. In every application and category therefof. Pages load very slowly, then normally. Sometimes they won't load at all, can't find the server, then they load immediately a few moments later. Various applications will come up very slowly, then, at other times, come up quickly. I have tried turning it off, waiting, then turning it back on. No help. Although my disc space that needs reclaiming seems to have increased exponentially since I first began using the mac two years + or - ago. I have all the updates, security and otherwise, installed. I am wondering if I am infected with avirus of some sort, spyware, whatever.
What is a good spyware, etc. anti-virus application/software for mac that doesn't completely clog it up?

Hi BHJ,

Rotating thru Safari windows with Command-` behaves oddly in v.5.0. Why?

If one has several Safari windows open at once, one can one-by-one "flip through" them by pressing Command-` (backward-accent/tilde), in turn bringing each new window to the front.
In earlier versions of Safari, Command-` behaves in a very predictable and useful way -- it rotated through all the windows unidirectionally if you keep pressing. So, for example, if you had 7 windows open at once, and kept pressing Command-`, you would first see page 1, then page 2, then page 3, etc., up through page 7, and from page 7 then you would keep going "forward" to page 1 again. The windows would go in a cycle. +This would remain constant even if you closed windows once you arrived at them.+
That's the way it always has been (in my memory), and the way I like it.
HOWEVER, I now have Safari 5.0 with 10.6.4, and it behaves differently! And not at all to my liking.
Instead of rotating through all the windows in order, Command-` now "bounces" back and forth in its direction if you perform any action to any window.
So, for example, now if you have 7 pages open, and want to rotate through them all to see what they are, and if unwanted, close them, the following strange and ANNOYING behavior happens as you repeatedly press "Command-`":
If you're on page 1, you then go to page 2, then page 3 -- and then if you close page 3, and press Command-` again, you DON'T go to page 4, but rather back to page 2 again, then page 1, then page 7 -- and if you close page 7, you then bounce back to page 1, page 2, etc.
This also happens if you do ANY action to the top page -- move its location, enter text in a field, close it, whatever.
Why does Safari do this now? It's totally counter-intuitive and incredibly bothersome, because it's no longer a simple task to flip through all open windows and close the unnecessary ones. Instead, one constantly is bouncing backwards and forwards like one is in a rubber room. And I end up feeling like I'm in a rubber room.
Has anyone else noticed this new manner of Safari behavior? And if so (and most importantly): *Is there any way to change it back to the way it used to be?*
This is important to me because I dislike using tabs and I often have several windows open for a project, which I then often want to (mostly) close and start a new project, etc. I takes way too much time and confusion simply trying to see all open windows with the new behavior.

I am running 10.6.4. It's just that when I fist updated it (on the first day it was available), Apple had not yet added 10.6.4 to the Forum settings. But now it's there and I have updated it in my profile.
Before I do any of your suggested fixes, I would need to know that the behavior my Safari is exhibiting is abnormal. Because I think that nothing is "wrong" with my Safari -- I think this new behavior is built-in and it is the way it's supposed to be. So that all the fixes in the world won't change anything.
So, what I'd really like to see is a report from someone --anyone -- that Safari 5.0 behaves the same way for them, or differently for them.
I just did a test myself and it took exactly one minute. Can someone do it for me and report back?
Here's the simple test:
"Minimize" all your existing Safari windows to get them out of the way.
Open a new window, for example, a Google home page. Type in the number "1" in a text field.
Open a second Google (or whatever) page, type in a "2" in a text field.
Do this all the way up to 7 open pages.
Then start hitting "Command-`." If you just hit Command-` repeatedly and do nothing else, you will indeed rotate through the windows like so: 7-6-5-4-3-2-1-7-6-5-4-3.....etc.
NOW HERE'S THE TEST. In the middle of this cycle, close window #4. What happens next to you? In the "old" Safari, you'd keep cycling backwards through the windows 3-2-1-7-6-5-3-2-1-7...etc.
But in Safari 5.0, this what happens to me: After closing window #4, I "bounce back" and now I'm heading in the opposite direction, so that after closing the window #4 it goes 5-6-7-1-2-3-5-6-7-1...etc.
Continue the test by now closing window #6 when you get back to it. Once again, you will "bounce" backwards. So that you will be going 1-2-3-5-6-[close window 6]-5-3-2-1-7-5-3...etc.!
Tell me: is that how Safari behaves for you? (Or anyone reading this?) If so, then my Safari isn't "broken," it's behaving exactly as it is designed to be behaving.
So if that is the case (which I suspect), then my question is not how to "fix" Safari, because fixing it won't alter the behavior, but rather: Are there are settings that can be changed or keyboard shortcuts altered or whatever that can restore the "old Safari" way of behaving?

Flash player behaving oddly

I am trying to learn how to put flash into a website using Dreamweaver. Yesterday everything ran just fine. Today when I tried to do a live preview of my website I was asked to update my Adobe Flash Player. I did so and now where the FLV file should be showing I have instead all the control buttons, forward arrow, pause, stop, etc. I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player and downloaded and installed the newest version. I was again asked to update my flash player which was odd. I did update it even though I had just downloaded and installed the newest version. Now I am back to arrows, and pause buttons and the like.
I am running Windows Vista 64 bit. Please keep your answers simple. I am not all that techie but I am determined to figure out how to do this!
thanks

Guten Abend Frau Gretchen,
it's too bad, even in my DW's live preview I don't have these outrageous graphics, all is wonderfully visible.
As so often, sometimes it's better to let do these jobs from specialists and not let do all the work from our DW, like a jack of all trades device!That's my motto anyway! As you know so I'm using "filezilla" or I prefer "typo3", a pro for an offline preview. Here you will find some links to explain everything better:

IPhone 6plus behaved oddly

Hey all,
I just brought my iPhone 6plus 64gb 3 days ago and today was the first time I let the battery run very low. It went down to about 3% and then switched off like any normal iphone would do. After about 2 minutes, I tried pressing the power button and the phone turned on and showed battery level to be 2%. Then it switched off again and turned on one last time after I tried pressing the the power button. The battery level was again 2%. The last time it switched off, it just went blank. I mean iPhone's are suppose to show 'connect to charger' symbol yeah after you press the power button once the phone dies? It didn't. What I noticed was when I pressed the power button, the screen just glowed up slightly(while still black) as if it was the backlight of the screeb slightly lighting up but it didn't display anything else other than black screen. I tried pressing the power button several times but same thing occurred. Then I connected it to my charger and it showed the 'plugged in symbol' while phone has died for about a minute and started to boot up and showed 2% battery and charging. Any idea of this odd behavior? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

All iPhones and ipads show this on their display if your hold the power button once the device runs out of battery. My iPhone didn't show this screen at all. That's what I'm asking. Why didn't it?
Because you kept forcing it on and off over and over again, which uses more power than the iPhone normally would, so it got drained past the 'dead battery screen' part. The process of starting up a device uses more power than simply running the device. It's like a car; you use up a lot of gas when starting the engine compared to letting it run at idle for a few minutes.
If your iPhone booted back up after you let it charge for a while, then what, exactly, is your problem?

I live in WA. Since I joined in on a TPP conf call last week, the IP is coming out of NJ & my FB account is behaving odd, works fine @ work, is NSA spying on me

Always worked fine, clicked the link from the FB TPP page, got in (was thru google free conf), was able to see the power point for a couple of minute the got booted out, could not get back in. Ever since, my FB page (only rest of internet browsing looks fine) looks as if it were running in safe mode & IP is out of NJ. My computer began to act odd and required to be reset to earlier point.

Long List behaving oddly

I have a list variable called OutputListe which after entering so many lines, starts to not let me click behind the last item in order to enter more list items at the end (I worked for a couple of times around by making a new line and the deleting the paragraph). I can just click at some 40 characters before the end. On top of that, the program now detects an error (undefined variable) in the list. Is it not possible to write such long lists? I still want to expand this one to maybe 3 times its actual lenght, since it contains all the variables that need to be saved when a player interrupts a game.

I too have seen the script editor lose the plot when editing long lists. You could try placing your list in a field member and use the value function, or make a list of lists, or use the append() or add() functions once you hit a certain size.

IPhoto behaving oddly

I imported all my photos into iPhoto and all my folders correctly showed up as events. However, several of the event are black squares with no photos. All the photos are still visible in Finder but not in iPhoto's. What did I do wrong.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are any of the photos that are in those black events scanned black and white photos? If so were they scanned as grayscale?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Horizontal scrollbars behaving oddly

This is not a complete show-stopping bug but Logic Express (9) recently started having issues with horizontal scrollbars -- they center themselves. Occasionally they work as they are supposed to, but most of the time they immediately return to the center, which is really irritating after a while. I'll be scrolled all the way to the end of the timeline for example, and I decide I want to scroll back left slightly; I click on the scrollbar and any kind of drag makes it jump back to the center. It acts like the mouse cursor was there, too.
Reinstallation and trashing preferences did not fix the problem.

Same problem here, but it seems also related to the screen in use, at least in my setup. I'm running Logic on my MacBook with a native screen resolution of 1200x800. I have a second screen attached above it with a resolution of 1920x1080 which I use for the main Arranger screen, the MacBook screen itself is mainly used for displaying the mixer and AU's.
When the arranger screen is on my larger display the horizontal scrollbar is flying all over the place when I try to move it, but when I have the arranger window on my MacBook's screen it behaves normally. Seems like if Logic gets confused by the different widths of the screens, like if it is behaving to have 1200 pixels to scroll on while there are 1920.
Whatever happens, it's kind of annoying...

Trackpad behave odd after upgrading to Snow Leopard

I've just installed the excellent Snow Leopard and the update to 10.6.1. Without changing anything else on my much loved mac the trackpad has got a strange behavior of accepting single klick only on its own terms.
Sometimes a slight touch result in a klick and sometimes I have to klick several times before its recognized as a klick. Irritating and annoying.
Seen in other posts that the track pad seems to be somewhat difficult to master and cause several problems with Snow Leopard. Any ideas would be helpful. Maybe I'd better down grade to regular Leopard again (but no that's what the PC guys does).
BR /C

A hardy welcome to you. PC comment misleading. Only some go back and for specific reasons not inability to fix their problems. I think your problem is deeper than lack of practice with the trackpad under SL. You could try re-installing SL over SL (via simple upgrade, of course).

PhotoSmart C4795 Behaving Oddly when not in use

Hello,
My printer prints fine, but between jobs it will suddenly advance itself through the scan, print, and copy menus, insisting that it needs a memory card or that I need to place an image to scan, etc. It moves between the menus of its own accord.
We've tried turning it off and resetting it, but the problem has continued, and the issue with the revolving menues happens whether we print or not. It even does it when no one is at the computer. We can be off watching television and hear it beeping as it goes to the next screen.
As I'm guessing that I don't have a ghost in my printer, what is wrong with my machine, and how do I fix it?
Thanks,
MasySyma

Hi,
I would be guessing that you don't have a "ghost" either... but you never know....
How long have you had the printer? When completing the alignment phase after inserting new cartridges, did you scan the alignment page to finish the alignment process? Here are the steps to do this if you haven't.... sometimes not completing this phase causes strange behaviors. Step 8 of this document:

The other thing that might help solve this is the Print Diagnostic tool. I am attaching a link to the "Diagnostic Tools" document and you can choose to download the Print one.

Align tool behaving oddly

Hi, the align tool (i mean the submenu in ,object) is not behaving properly, for me. As I say align left edges it does not, it only moves the rightish to to left a bit, if I click the same submenu again abit more to the left, but it never aligns any to objects properly, nor edges neither centers. Is it just another motion 3 bug or is it me?
Thanks
