E-Mu Mono Output question

Sorrry but this whole patchmix business is confusing
Anyway, i plugged the Left Output of my E-Mu 1212m to a full range speaker, and so like u'd figure it acted as a left speaker..
i'm wonderng how you could change it to a Mono Output so my one speaker gets both Left and Right channels.
(without manual panning of course, i've found that you can't really get too "loud" without distortion)
any help would be appreciated

Hey,
As you only have one speaker, then you can plug one side of the output straight to it and you will get mono if it's from a mono source.
If it's from a stereo source coming into PatchMix (from ASIO or WDM etc), or Mono (from a mono in), then you need to centre pan it.
If it starts to distort, then turn down the mono-panned channel slightly, and turn everything else down until you get the balance back.

Why won't Logic let me do a mono output?

I've done everything in the book. I can't get Logic to give me just a single analog output for a mono audio track. Even switched the main analog outputs in the Environment Window to mono and created the extra mono tracks for Output 2,4,6,8. Logic tech support says just Pan your audio channels to the L or R, thus forcing a mono output. Thats a nice trick Logic tech support but a **** Professional Audio Workstation should have the simple option of a freaking mono output don't ya think!!!!
Ok i'm done venting... let me know what you all do for a mono output. My interface is a Rosetta 800 if that is part of the problem. Thanks everyone!

1. When you staretd Logix thefirt time did you run the Logic Setup Assistant so that it would create Outputs foir you or start with an included template so thatyou would have them?
2. On the Ouput object in the lower left hand corner you will see a symbol with 2 circles. If you click on it it will change to one. This is what the link that the responder above posted is showing you.
BTW, when I try new software that tons of people are using successfully and I cannot get it do do something as basic as this I reaact by thinking, "What am I not understanding about the program?" rather than "What is the matter with this p.o.s., how can they call it pro?"
Please allow me to suggest to you that it is a far more constructive way not only of approaching software but approaching life.

How to create a mono output from a mono aux send?

Trying to create a mono output from a mono aux send but option available is only a stereo output. Any way to force a mono output?

Yes - I'm aware of the mono vs stereo. Let me outline more precisely what I'm attempting to do. (By the way, I know this can be done as I do it easily in MOTU's Digital Performer.) The desire is to create a mono send inside Logic that I can then send out through my MOTU interface into a Lex 300 reverb unit. I then take the analog outputs from the Lex 300 and bring them back into Logic. I want the send to be mono as I am mostly sending from mono recorded instruments and voices. So chain would look like this:
Track 1
Send Bus 8
_Bus 8 Mono output_
MOTU 2408 Input
Patch Bay cable
Lex 300 Mono input ///
(now coming out)
Lex 300 Stereo Out
patch bay
MOTU Stereo Inputs 15/16
Logic Stereo Input 15/16
Mix.
The problem with the chain is that I cannot select a _mono output_ - it only allows for a stereo output. I can pan it one way or the other but it still does not seem to function correctly and toggling the mono/stereo button does not change the fact that this is still a stereo output. I hope this does not make it more complicated - it seems like there should be a simple solution. Any ideas? Thanks.

Logic 8 Mono Output

Hi Everybody!
I'm getting crazy to find out how to get mono output on my tracks.
Basically i need to send mono outputs to my SSL matrix, to be able to use its sum engine.
I don't feel comfortable using the pan pot on the stereo outputs...
Is there a chance that APPLE can solve this issue and bring logic to protools level?
Tnx!

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to get a Mono output from Logic.
You kinda have to pan the stuff into a stereo output.
Yay... not.
This is why most of my final mixes I am doing on Pro Tools HD. Easier to set up routing, and no chance of it mistakenly getting changed by a pan pot.
Now, all you PT haters out there, join the party and bash me... thhhpthhhtp!!!

Can't send mono outputs from Logic 9 to my Motu Ultralite

Hi all, any help would be most appreciated. I want to send mono channels from Logic 9 to my Soundcraft mixer via my Motu Ultralite in order to try out some live dubbing. When I set a channel to mono nothing comes out of the Motu. I can make it work by panning things left and right but surely there is a better way?! I went through all the mono outputs but none seem to work.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Work
I have a Powermac G5 at work and tried with the Mail Client and with Entourage. Both were successfull.
Home
My ISP at home is All2Easy.net, but I also recently signed up for MSN, I'm not sure if you can even set up the computer to send through MSN though. I have tried smtp.email.msn.com but can't get it to work (not sure if it is because I can't send anything, or if they are the wrong settings)
I have it set to "log-in requires authentication". The settings hadn't changed when the problems started occuring though. An interesting new development is that I can't connect through All2Easy anymore (I chose them for the price).

Stereo Record, Mono output

I have been recording voices through a Samson microphone on my pc (using Soundbooth CS4) and thought that I was recording in a stereo format, however I seem to be getting mono output. The only way that I can tell is by putting on headphones and hearing the recording (finished .wav) on one side only (the left).
What am I doing wrong and is there a way to correct what has already been recorded without re-recording it? I would like the stereo like render with sound coming from both headphones, etc..
Thanks

Sounds like you had a similar problem to one I just solved for myself. Your recording is coming out of only one speaker because it was recorded using only one channel in a stereo recording format. You have to change it to a mono recording. Here's how...
Under the "file" drop down, choose "Export" and then choose "Channels to Mono". It will save both channels of a stereo recording as single, individual Mono .wav files with a "L" or "R" designation for right or left channel. Simply keep the one with your recording on it and discard the other that will be blank. You can then keep the file as a .wav file or as I did, do a "save as" to create my desired .mp3 file (or whatever format you require).
This new file will now play as a mono recording through both speakers. Worked like a charm for me - hope this helps!

ROUTING TO MONO OUTPUT

Does anyone know if there's a way to route directly from a track to a mono output without having to use the pan knob. basically a mono track with no pan knob then...
the reason the do this as i'm mixing out of the box and each track is going out an individual output. would be great to not have to use the pan. the way you can do it in PT....
any ideas?

How to make dual mono output from one mono track

Please forgive my complete ignorance of music mixing/sound board terminology: I'm only using Logic Pro X because Apple deliberately made it impossible to use Soundtrack Pro as part of a roundtrip with FCPx. Soundtrack Pro is what I've always used for editing audio for video.
I recorded two tracks with the video: microphone on the right and and lavalier on the left. The mic was just a backup and the lav track is what I want to use. I imported the audio into LPx and now I want to use only the left channel but I want it to output equally on both channels. I've searched all over for a simple explaination (at least one who is not a music editor can understand) and haven't found one.
How can I do this? Thanks.
Second question: I found the little icon that lets makes the timeline scroll to follow the playhead (ridiculous that FCPx doesn't have this) but I can only make it work for one clip at at time. Is there a way to turn it on permanently?

On the Channels Strip (of the Audio Track with the Audio Region), ctr+click on the left segment of the Input Button. That opens a popup menu where you can select Left (only the left channel of the Audio Region is played as mono), or Right (only the right channel of the Audio Region is played as mono).
Once the signal flow of the Channel Strip is mono (one channel), you can use the "Mono➤Stereo" version of some plugins to convert the Channel Strip to a stereo channel.
About your second question. If you are referring to the little blue "Catch Playhead Button", that automatically scrolls the Workspace when the Playhead reaches the right border to keep the Workspace visible. You also can also enable the "Scroll in Play" mode in the local View Menu. That one locks the Playhead in the center and scroll the Workspace "underneath"
However if you are referring to that little Play icon in the left upper corner of the Region Header (only visible in the Editor), that one, the "Solo Play Button", only plays that Region in solo mode. It is basically a combination of "Play " and "Solo" in on button. You can find all those little informations and much more in my graphically enhanced manual "Logic Pro X - How it Works".
Hope that helps

I want gnomeradio mono output

Hi, I'm using gnomeradio to listen to FM. I'm using a bttv card and it only has the ability to output stereo output. How can I convert it to mono, either by an .asoundrc or by another method? The bttv (card 1) is connected to my SB Audigy 2 Platinum's Analog-In port. Any tips, anyone?

Tried any of this http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Talk:.asoundrc http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … ke-815094/ ?

Mono output - can I use a mono mini-jack cable?

I'm outputting music mono from an iPad, to a mono system (Bose) currently using stereo mini jack output to twin RCA's with standard mono jack adaptors, this ties up two inputs on the Bose; can I simply use a mini jack mono from the Pad to standard jack mono cable (or even a mini jack mono to XLR)?
Sorry if it's a thickie question . . . . .

Yes. The iPod can connect with standard 3.5 mm plug

Complier output question

I've been working on a java assignment that requires me to write a command line program which will read data from a text file, store the data in a vector and then save the vector to another file in a serialized form. I have written this program using the Kawa complier software.
I have, what I believe to be, a working program; it complies without reporting any errors, but when I try to run the program, I get the following message in the complier output window.
'Exception in thread "main"'
Can someone tell me what this means?
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I found a solution for it after posting the question. Another problem has come up now though.
As I stated, the program is supposed to read the data from a text file, store it in a vector, and output it to another file in serialized form.
The input file consists of many records of computers and peripherals. Each record uses four lines of the input file, and is displayed like this:
Description (String)
Price (float)
VAT Price (float)
Quantity (integer),
Now I think the output file is supposed to look the same as the input file, but the one my program generates doesn't. My program code is as follows:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
class TextToVector
     public static void main(String [] args) throws IOException
          try
          Vector v = new Vector(); //creates the vector
          String inFile = new String ("C:/My Documents/V3/Data/stocklist.txt ");     //Informs the program of the name, type & location of the source file
          FileOutputStream outFileStream = new FileOutputStream("C:/My Documents/V3/outfile.dat ");     //Instructs the program where to create the output file, what type of file it should be & what to name it
          //the command paths used in these lines can be modified to read/send a file from/to
          //where ever the user wants, the user must also set these identical paths in
          //the "Interpreter Options" for this to work correctly
          ObjectOutputStream objOutStream = new ObjectOutputStream(outFileStream);
          objOutStream.writeObject(v);     //writes the object to the vector
          objOutStream.flush();                     //purges the objOutStream
          outFileStream.close();                     //closes the objOutStream
          catch (IOException e)
          System.out.println("Exception Writing File ");
          System.exit(1);
public Vector readRecord(String inFile, Vector v) throws IOException
          String inString = new String(" ");
          String D = " ";
     float P = 0.0f;
     float V = 0.0f;
     int Q = 0;
          int count=0;
          BufferedReader buffReader = null;     //enures the BufferedReader is empty before beginning to read the source file
          buffReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader (inFile));     //used to read & record each line of the source file
try
     while((inString = buffReader.readLine()) !=null)
     count++;
     if(count==1)
     inString = buffReader.readLine();
     D = inString;
     if(count==2)
     inString = buffReader.readLine();
     P = (Float.valueOf(inString)).floatValue();
     if(count==3)
     inString = buffReader.readLine();
     V = (Float.valueOf(inString)).floatValue();
          if(count==4)
     inString = buffReader.readLine();
     Q = (Integer.valueOf(inString)).intValue();
     if(count==5)
     //System.out.println("Description " + D + " Price " + P + " VATPrice " + V + " Quantity " + Q);
     StockItem record = new StockItem(D,P,V,Q);
     v.add (record);
     count=0;
buffReader.close();
return v;
catch(IOException e)
System.out.println(e.toString());
return v;
class StockItem implements Serializable
     private String D;
private float P;
private float V;
private int Q;
     StockItem()
     D = " ";
     P = 0.0f;
     V = 0.0f;
     Q = 0;
     StockItem(String Description, float Price, float VATPrice, int Quantity)
     D = Description;
     P = Price;
     V = VATPrice;
     Q = Quantity;
     public String getDescription()
return D;
public float getPriceValue()
return P;
public float getVATPriceValue()
return V;
public int getQuantityValue()
return Q;
Can anyone see anything wrong with this? I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Air Output Question

I've been playing around with the free trial of RH8 and I
have some questions regarding the Air output:
1. If I add a comment, is there a way I can edit it? I tried,
but so far haven't been able to do so (I would think that I would
in case there's a typo or something).
2. Also, is there a way to show which topic a comment applies
to. Say I decide to set my comments to "Show All," is there a way
to see what topics each comment applies to?

Hi Moranis,
To answer your queries.
1. Edit is not there. Currently you can add and delete
comments.
2. You can sort the comments by topic after you do show all.
sharona27lily,
Let me answer your queries.
Comments by different users are managed on a shared network
location. End user whoever is giving comments on the AIR output
doesn't need anything else. In fact RH8 is needed for producing AIR
output. Commenting will be done without RH8.
Let me know if you have more queries.

Tomcat output question

hi all
i think this is a simple (and quite stupid) question, but i don't know ho to solve my problem
i work on two computer (windows 2k), one where i have tomcat installed not like a service, the other with tomcat installed like a service.
when i write some servlet or jsp page i use to debug it through System.out.println() method to get the output. when i work on the 1st machine i can read the output directly by the prompt, but the problem arrives on the other machine, when no prompt is opened running tomcat.
is there a way (log file and so on) to get my application's output running under tomcat? the version is 4.1.18
thanx a lot
sandro

Hi. the solution is quite simple.
Go to your TomcatHome (where you installed it) and look for a folder called log. To check your System.out.println stuff on your tomcat as windows service just take a look to an archive called stdout.txt or something similar (can't remember the exact name)

DOM output question

Hi all,
I have the following question about writing a DOM (Document) out to a stream. But first.. a bit of background on the framework...
I have the following classes:
Listener.class -> sends InputStream to -> Parser.class
Parser.class -> sends DOM (Document) to -> Formatter.class
What I then want is the
Formatter.class -> send a stream -> Writer.class
Writer.class to do its funky stuff.
The problem I am having is trying to work out what input/output stream combination to use and what XML helpers to do it.
I am using Java 1.4 and Xerxes2 classes only...
So the question is:
1. What should the Formatter.class pass to the Writer.class?
2. What should I use to create the stream?
Ideally I want an InputStream passed to the Writer.class
Cheers,
Alex.

I don't quite follow your framework, but then I didn't try too hard because if you want to get data from a DOM into a file or some other output, you use a javax.xml.transform.Transformer. Approximately like this:Transformer t = TransformerFactory.newTransformer();
t.transform(new DOMSource(someNode), new StreamResult(someWriter));

HD to SD final output question

Hello Forum,
I have just completed Jeff Bellune’s excellent HD to SD tutorial called “hd2sd - High Quality Scaling From HD to SD”. For weeks I have been trying in vain to downscale my 1920 x1080i AVI-8bit YUV HD footage for output to PAL DVD without much luck, resulting in terrible output quality, but for anyone experiencing the same problem I would like to let you know that the quality of the conversion with Jeff's method is absolutely amazing. http://bellunevideo.com/tutlist.php Thanks for the post Jeff you are a star!
But I have one small problem. In the final process when using VirtualDub to open your AviSynth script file and then saving it out to a Lagarith AVI file.
The process works as described with great results however the final output file is exported at an output size of 720x576 - 1.250 (5:4) aspect ratio. (Size data extracted from GSpot) The problem is when I import this into Encore the footage does not fill the whole screen.
My to the forum question is does anyone know how I can change the output file size in VirtualDub to a (16.9) aspect ratio so that when imported into Encore the footage takes up the whole screen in a (16:9) widescreen format.
Can VirtualDub be used to do this and if so does anyone know the exact settings to be used?
Any assistance with this will help me greatly.
Thanks in advance.
Rex.

Thank you Jeff
You are a brilliant person, thank you very much as you solved my long standing and draining problem in one answer!
The output result is second to none as a matter of fact I can’t even tell the difference from the original footage!
Everything is fine now but while the Big man himself is about I wonder if you could possibly answer these 3 questions?
1) I am using Premiere CS5.5, Should I have used the Maximum render quality setting when exporting my MPEG2 file from premiere (this wasn’t mentioned in the CS4 tutorial)
2).My original source footage used in my test project is 1920 X1080i (1.0) 50Hz Pal - and I have exported 3 versions, one Lower field first, one upper field first and one Progressive no fields. Using the Interpret Footage techniques from your advice I created 3 separate Encore projects in each field setting the thing is I can’t tell the difference between them in my test DVDs. (Q. which field setting do you recommend me use for my final project output to Pal DVD (Note Encore Pal Project settings make reference to Lower field first).
2) Could I re-import the exported VirtualDub avi file back into premiere. Then edit my project adding effects and titles and when the project is complete export the finished project into Encore either by uncompressed AVI or MPEG2-DVD?. If this is possible will I lose much quality on export? And would you know how I could Interpret the Footage to PAL Widescreen (1.4587).in premiere? (I ask this as it would be much easier to edit with these smaller files as my original files are very resource consuming)
Again I would be most grateful if you have some advice on these questions as I am a newbie to HD editing but embracing the challenge.
Thanks again.
Rex.
