Easy way to add more audiotracks??? + Environment midi/audio question???

Hi!
Let's say, when I open a new project I have standard 24 audio tracks.
But when recording I see that I will need more, is there an easy and fast way to add more tracks?
As I see it now, I Have to run the Logic Setup Assistent, add more tracks (let's say 40). Reopen the project, go in the environment, create a new audio object for every track I want to add, double click it and assign the correct track to 'channel'. If I need to add 10 more tracks I have to go over these last steps 10 times. Am I missing some handy quick trick here?
Also, the second part of my question:
when I open the environment window, sometimes it only shows "midi" and the "GS instrument drum mapped" and some other times it shows "audio" and an "overview of my mixer". This seems to happen at random and I don't know why. The mixer view is what I want (especially when I need to add tracks as mentioned before), but when I get the midi view I don't know what to do to get the audio/mixer view. Any help?

Ok,
There is a way so you wont have to do the 10 setups.
Run the Setup Assistant and when it asks how many
audio tracks you want, always tell it more than you
will possibly need. I use 101. I know I will probably
never use that many but they are already and waiting
in case I do need more. This way you dont have to do
anything except go to the track menu and select create
new or double click the arear below the last
track and what ever track is highlighted, a exact duplicate
will appear. Then you just click and hold on it to make it
whatever kind of track you need from the menu that appears.
This first answer takes care of the second question. Since you
dont need to go into the enviroment to hook up new tracks.
Just so you know if you click and hold on the name of the layer
Midi, instruments, clicks and ports or whatever another menu
will appear letting you choose what layer you want to go to.
This is the easy way!

Is there an easy way to add a desktop shortcut for all users?

Looking for an easy way to add a shortcut to an app for all users.

William is correct. There are global system settings, and then there are personal user settings. Adding a shortcut to the desktop, or more commonly the Dock is a personal setting.
Unless its in some kind of mass deployment scenario where you can create a pre programed image for large amounts of computers which has it already has your app shortcut setup, its easier to just do it one user at a time.

What Is Quickest Way To Add More Auxs?

What Is Quickest Way To Add More Auxs?
and my 2nd question is, by adding extra auxs, bus, audio inst and audio tracks, does that alone use up memory even though they are not being used?
thanks

1. In the Environment window, scroll until you can see your AUX 1 and 2 (which you should have by default).
2. As you would to copy a "region", highlight AUX 2.
3. Now, while holding down the option key, drag and drop the channel to the left.
4. Go to the values on the left of your screen, and set the channel input to AUX 3.
5. Repeat with AUX 4,5,6,7,8, etc...

Is there an easy way to add a sketch to Apple Email?

I struggled with a new-to-me sketch program that I found on an Internet website, but I was finally able to copy and paste it to an Email message. It was supposed to have been easier than that, but that was the best I could do.I then realized that I had to add a few lines and notes. That got me to thinking. By now, you'd think that there would be an easy way to add graphic material to Apple Email. Is there?

Are you trying to copy an image from the Maps application?
If you are, the easiest way I have found to do this is by going to Edit>Copy in Maps and then pasting the image in the Pages document.

But the Library is not a program. I use SuperDuper, and it is smart enough to treat Finder Packages (such as the Library) as a whole bunch of files and folders, and overwrites only those that have changed. Can't CCC be set up the same way?

Why isn't there an easy way to add a photo to photoStream from the finder?

Apple makes it easy to share your photo with Twitter, FB, Flickr, etc. Why not Photo Stream? As far as I know, the only way to add a photo to photo stream is to open iPhoto and then add the photo to that. This seems to be a very poor way of quickly adding a photo.

If you have a suggestion make it here: Apple Feedback. This is the wrong venue.

A quick and easy way to add genre to songs in a playlist

I have a 160mb classic ipod and I want to shuffle only a portion of my total library tracks. I am thinking the best way to do this is to use the Smart Playlist function and shuffle by genre. But if I do that I want to change the genre label or add one to many of my 4000 songs. Is there anyway to do this easily? I tried to select every song in a playlist and right click and use Apply Sort Field, but unfortunately genre is not one of these fields! Any idea?
Or (although this may be the wrong forum), is the any way, short of making one gigantic playlist, to get my iPod to shuffle among just certain playlists?

The only way to add to files to a playlist on the player itself is to put them in the queue, then save the queue as a playlist.

PSE10: Is there an easy way to add a vignette?

Besides using Filter > Correct Camera Distortion, is there an easy way to put a vignette on a picture? The method I just named doesn't give me the smooth, uniform fade that I need for creating collages, etc. Thanks!

Sure, just use any selection tool to make your selection. Here, I simply used an elliptical selection:
Then, use Select...Feather to feather the selection. I used 10px. Hit the Ctrl+J keys to copy that feathered selection to a new layer with a transparent background:

Looking for a way to add more signatures

I'm creating a form that has a standard orginator and approver signature blocks. Is there a button or another way to add additional approver signature blocks if needed? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Catherine -
Depends on the type of signature block you are looking to add. If a secured digital signature, then those do not allow you to add in dynamically from what I see. If the signature block is just a holding spot for an ink signature then you could put in code to duplicate a subform that contains the signature block.
A work around for a digital signature is to create several signature blocks and make them hidden until a check box is selected, or something along those lines.
If ink signature blocks then put your signature block objects in a subform, call it "SigBlock" for example. Make sure the form is setup as dynamic, and set the subforms as flowed to avoid overwirting any info underneath. You could place a button that states something like "Click to add signature" and put this code under the CLICK event:
Page._SigBlock.addInstance(1);
xfa.form.recalculate(1);
If digital signatures then you'll want to embed Positioned subforms inside flowed subforms so that all materials flow, but the actual digital signature is in a fixed location. Be sure to set your FILE - FORM PROPERTIES - DEFAULTS to "Manually" on scripting and check the box titled "Enforce Strict Scoping". Then setup all your digital signature blocks, and when all formatted properly you could add in some hidden checkboxes that are set to CALCULATED, and have code under those that check status of a user checkbox to add signatures. If != 1, then the calculated field could tell the form to hide the signature block. If == 1 then the block unhides. Inside that block can be another user selected checkbox to add another signature, another hidden calculate field, etc. I would do this instead of setting up hidden properties in the form INITIALIZE setting since you may not want to hid those blocks everytime the form is loaded.
A tad complicated, but it works!

Easy way to add a single keyword to an image?

I just organized a bunch of photos I took at a birthday party, and ran into some awkwardness when keywording. Hopefully it's just user ignorance, but if not, maybe someone can offer a workaround. I did the import with no keywords, because I wasn't thinking. Once I'd done that, I selected all images in the "Last Import", hit Ctrl-K, and typed Birthday (which is one of my standard keywords). Then I deselected all images and started doing selective keywording. That's where it started getting awkward. I had several shots that had my son in them, so I selected all of them and hit Ctrl-K. This put my cursor in the keyword box in the right-side panel, with Birthday highlighted. I hit <End>, then typed comma and MySonsName. No problem so far. I delselected the shots and selected the ones that had my daughter in them. The right-side keyword panel now showed something like "Birthday*, MySonsName*". I wasn't sure whether I could just add MyDaughtersName to the images without actually adding MySonsName to all selected images (even those without my son in them). That's the awkward part. What I found was that in order to add a single keyword to a bunch of images at once, I had to enable Keyword Stamping and use that. An alternative was to "Set Keyword Shortcut", enter the keyword, select the images I wanted, and then use "K" to add the shortcutted keyword to the images. Is there any way to simply say "add this keyword to all selected images" in one atomic action? In other words, hit a keystroke, type the keyword, hit Enter, and it's now applied to all selected images. -- Rob Freundlich "Males ae biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes." - Newt Gingrich "Some folks you don't have to satirize, you just quote 'em." - Tom Paxton

As long as you don't >remove the * you won't apply your son's name to all the images. if you do >remove the *, then you will. Sweet. I'm a programmer, so I thought the * meant multiple images, not "not all images", so I didn't even think of trying that. Works like a charm, though.

Easy way to add episodes without having to manually code it?

Hi Folks,
Question for you here. Is there an app or system that allows you to easily add additional podcast episodes, all XML correct without having to keep having to add items and fill out the code in the feed?

There are a number of programs and online services, though in many cases they create the feed but don't allow you to access it directly. My only experience has been with Podcast Maker, which is easy to use, but I understand that it doesn't work well with Lion or Mountain Lion.
I can't recommend any specific service or program; I can only suggest you do some Googling, Note that in most cases you will have to start over with the older episodes as it probably won't import your existing feed.
You can of course simply copy and paste an episode and change the appropriate tags - be careful not to fall into the trap of duplicating the 'guid' tag and not changing it - each must be unique.
