EXSP24 in LE7 and other questions

I have worked out that the sampler instrument editor in LE7 has been removed which is kinda an odd upgrade from Logic Audio 6 imo. If i have this wrong please let me know.
So how do I go about adding in new instruments from sample cd's etc??
I am used to running Logic Audio 6 on my old Imac in System 9 so the new or apparent lack of Logic Folders etc is quite bizarre for me. So if anyone can also throw me some pointers on:
1: Using Reason adapted for Recycle as a rewired instrument in LE7 (I have a feeling this is not possible)
2: Using Absynth within LE7
3: Will something like Kontakt run in LE7?
4: Rewiring Logic into Live or vice versa.
So many questions
Thanks
Paul

You can't edit EXSP24 instruments but you can import several formats:
Akai, Soudfonts, Giga, SampleCell and DLS.
To create your own patches you need some external apps like this:

About other questions and supposing that you don't have a Intel Mac:
1. Yes, you can.
2. Logic uses plugins in Audio Unit format; if you have an older version of Absynth you should upgrade to a newer one.
3. Same as above,
4. Logic can act as Rewire host only so you can rewire Live to Logic but not Logic to Live.

  • MacBook Pro 13" Hard Drive and other questions

    Hi there,
    I've just purchased a 13" MBP which I absolutely love but have a few questions about upgrading it. I want to swap out the hard drive for a larger capacity but just want to make sure I purchase one that will fit.
    I'll number the questions for ease of answering.
    1. Will this hard drive be correct? I know it's a 2.5" SATA but I didn't know if the dimensions are ok for the 13" MBP.
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/WD-Scorpio-Black-WD3200BJKT-internal/dp/B001FBJJQ4
    2. Will the difference between a 7200rpm 16MB cache drive and a 5400rpm 8mb cache drive be noticeable? I can get a 500gb slower speed drive for the same price and while the capacity increase would be useful, I would prefer a faster drive if it's noticeable.
    Many thanks

    That article I believe to be incorrect! The author never mentions which Scorpio drive....Blue or Black. The Blue does not contain a free fall sensor option as the Black is available with our without free fall sensor. The free fall sensor will interfere with the Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS) built into the Mac. SMS can be disabled but my experience first hand with the Scorpio Black in my MBP 13 was not good even after disabling the SMS and merely using the free fall sensor in the Black. If you want a 7200 RPM drive and you like West Dig get the Black without the free fall sensor. You will be much happier. I run the Black in several Windows Laptops and it streams fast then the 7200.4 which I also have in a windows laptop and the scorpio black performed better and more stable! I just dont think I personal would not use it on the MBP 13...I took mine out for it was problematic!! If you want a 500 GB go with the Fujitsu or the Hitachi...even the the Western Dig Scorpio Blue with does not have a free fall sensor. The author of that article mentioned ShockGuard that is not a Free Fall sensor and only engages durring spin up or down as well as parks when it is off. This does not sense a fall like the SMS or a built in free fall sensor. Many MBP unibody owner have used the Blue and it has been hugely successful!!! My experience which is very extensive with Seagate as of late has not been favorable. I do not like the latest generation of drives they are producing we are seeing extensive failures (higher % compared to other OEMs). Stick with those three.
    If you want battery life, the Fujitsu or Hitachi are very good choices Fujitsu being a little better
    For speed the WD Blue is best on synthetic tests but it is a little power hungry. I am sticking with the Fujitsu in real world test it seemed to do better than the others...H2Benchw it wasnt as good. PCmark it did very well. The Gaming, Video and other test it seemed to do well on but not as good in the h2Benchw.

  • Pixel Bender custom multiply blend and other questions

    I am creating photo editing application on iPad and i am using Pixel Bender to calculate effects. But ive got a problem with multiply blend mode.When i run it in CPU/GPU mode, it runs fine(result looks absolutly 1:1 as from photoshop). But when i switch to Flash Player mode, it dont want to render properly. I dont get any compilation errors. Ive got also some other questions:
    1.How does PB performs on iOS ?
    2.If my problem is becouse of  incapability of FP, is there any other solution to this ? I cant afford AS3.0 computing, becouse it is really slow even on PC.
    3. Can be Pixel Bender 3D sollution to this ? If yes, when will it come out to iOS ?
    4. How are filters computed in FP ? CPU or GPU ?
    here, you can see the difference : http://ponozka.php5.cz/gpuMode.jpg  http://ponozka.php5.cz/flashMode.jpg
    Thanks
    source code :

            dst.g = pix.g- pix.g * (1.0-(pix2.g))*param.g*pix2.a*param.a;
            dst.b = pix.b -pix.b * (1.0-(pix2.b))*param.b*pix2.a*param.a;
            dst.a = 1.0;

    Ok, so i already know, that CPU/GPU and flash are giving different results. So lets have a situation, where you need to display transparent image without transparency. On GPU/CPU, you will need only this :
    dst.r = src.r;
    dst.g = src.g;
    dst.b = src.b;
    dst.a = 1.0;
    but for flash, you will need this :
    dst.r = (1.0/src.a)*src.r;
    dst.g = (1.0/src.a)*src.g;
    dst.b = (1.0/src.a)*src.b;
    dst.a = 1.0;
    First kernel on GPU will show the exact same result as second kernel on flash. But the question remains : is it bug ?

  • New Droid Turbo takes forever to load pictures on social media? ...and other questions!

    Hey all, I just got my new Droid Turbo a week ago and I've noticed some shortcomings that I'm not sure how to handle. They're not major, but they irritate me. I'll just list them...
    -On social media (Instagram and Facebook specifically), the pages load fine but most/all of the pictures take nearly a minute or more to load, if they load at all. Never had an issue with Samsung or previous Motorola phones doing this.
    -I occasionally get a popup error that "Contacts has stopped" even when I'm not accessing it or the program is closed (it usually happens when I'm making a call).
    -I have a setting to make my Gmail mail sync automatically, but it doesn't always do it, and the phone is supposed to notify me but only does it sometimes.
    -How to make "folders" in photo Gallery?
    -Google Play music is synced, but doesn't play AT ALL...just "thinks."
    I think that's all I have for now. Sorry it's so much, but I appreciate any help you all have! Thanks!!
    *Lauren*

    Congratulations on your new Droid Turbo. We'd love to help make sure your new phone is working properly. For the photos in Instagram and Facebook, Is it that some photos appear and others do not? How are photos in other applications or different websites? As for the Gmail sync, have you checked the settings under Gmail to ensure the sync options are set to your preference. In regards to the folders for the gallery, folders are usually created on their own and based on where pictures are created. For the Play Music, what happens when you try to play songs?

  • Windows File compatibility, my iPod, and other questions

    After years of gripping about doing Video and Photo editing on my PC, I am considering switching to a Mac. But, given I have a heavy investment in PC hardware, I want to make sure I can leverage everything the best way possible. So...
    1.) I have a 20GB clickwheel iPod...any problem using this with a Mac? Need to be reformatted or anything?
    2.) Can you access ActiveX based websites without problems?
    3.) I have a Windows XP machine with 4 drives in RAID format. Could I use this as a common storage network drive for both Mac and PC's at the same time (for instance, store MP3's on it, and access and play them from either the iMac and other Windows PC's without a problem?). What about jpg formatted pictures? Any nuances between PC and Mac formats? (or is jpg really just jpg on either machine...I can open up the same picture on a Mac and a PC and see the exact same picture, without major color changes, etc.).
    I realize I need to reformat to FAT, but other than that, are their other problems I should know about? (I would like to use the RAID configuration to make sure I don't lose any data)
    That should start for now...
    Thanks - Jeff

  • Is the disk equal to log files and other questions?

    In the web page http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/GettingStartedGuide/introduction.html#dplfeatures, there is a statement, " The checkpointer is responsible for flushing database data to *disk* that was written to cache as the result of a transaction commit ".
    I wonder if the disk here means log files under the JE home directory.
    From my understanding of these documents and other web resources, the check pointer is to write records in Cache to Log files (disk), and then cleaner is to reorganize and then to remove unused log files. For the records in a Cache, they are brought from disk to Cache by querying the index organized in a B-Tree structure, and the In-Compressor is to delete some empty internal nodes of B-Tree.
    I wonder if the above is right to describe relations among these components, check pointer, cleaner, B-Tree and In-Compressor.
    Thanks for your help!
    Best,

  • Possible to segment traffic between 2 interfaces? And other questions...

    I would like to set my G5 up as a server utilizing a second connection and to keep traffic seperated between this server connection and my regular internet connection (would be wireless). I'm pretty sure this alone is fairly straightforward and can be accomplished by setting up the new interface and moving it down to the bottom of the connection list with wireless at the top. That should keep all non-specific traffic from flowing out the ethernet/server connection - I think.
    If the above works the way I stated then I would also want to firewall ONLY the ethernet/server connection (the wireless has it's own hardware firewall). AND - this is the tricky part - I also want to add a fake interface that has a fake IP and bind that to the "real" ethernet/server connection. The reason for that is because I need a static IP to bind the service to. I know if the connection list thing works to flow the traffic that if I had an external router on the server connection, this wouldn't be needed. I'd already have a fake IP to bind to and I wouldn't have to run the firewall on the Mac. But I don't and I'd rather not have to buy one.
    So can this be done through the network/sharing preferance panes? If so, are there any "gotchas" I should be aware of? If not, is there any software tool out there that would make setting this up easier/faster? I'm not opposed to doing it all via command line, but I'm a bit rusty with my linux/unix admin knowledge. Plus I'm not 100% certain how to set all that up command line wise without screwing up OS X!
    Thanks.

    I'm not sure I fully understand what you are attempting to accomplish. Lets see if I have the general idea.
    You have a single G5, that you want to use as both your desktop machine and also to provided specific services, such as web, email, etc.
    You have some type of hardware firewall/security appliance.
    You have some type of wireless access point.
    You don't seem to have any type of router or switch in your configuration.
    You want all of your server based traffic to be sent and received on it's own Ethernet port. You want your personal Internet traffic to be sent and received on your wireless connection.
    So my questions are:
    Where is the server traffic going to, coming from? Who is accessing the server, is it users on the Internet, or just computers on your own LAN (which you didn't mention).
    If your server is to allow data from or send to the Internet, then you need to have a way to route the traffic there. Do you have more then one method to access the Internet, or will all traffic, both personal and server being going though the same Internet access pipe?
    If it is all going through the same pipe, and you only have the single computer, I don't understand why you wish to segment the traffic.
    If on the other hand you have multiple computers on your LAN. then segmenting traffic may make sense. This would allow access to your server and keep your LAN well secure.
    Anyway, to get to specifics, you'll need to use the terminal app to bind specific services to specific IP's and ports on your Mac. You will also need to manually configure the firewall to be able to select specific connection ports and bindings. However, while I think it can be done, I'm not sure it makes a great deal of sense.
    I would be more inclined to suggest a router or switch that can provide VLAN support, or a router that provides true DMZ support, would be a good way to go.
    Anyway, a little more info would be helpful.
    Oh and if I have this totally worng in what I think your doing.. My mistake.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen. iOS 5.1.1 - Sleep Mode and Other Questions

    Hello,
    I have an iPod Touch 4th generation with iOS 5.1.1
    1) RE: Sleep Mode - I found this on another thread and it's regarding iOS 4.3.1. 
    Is the same still true for iOS 5.1.1? 
    If so, what is recommended for sleep mode - Airplane mode or Wi-Fi off - or is either one ok?
    Wi-Fi is always ON with the 4th generation model running 4.3.1 when it is sleeping unless you either turn off the Wi-Fi or turn Airplane mode ON.
    2)  I only use my iPod Touch on my home Wi-Fi and do not use any cloud based syncing or iTunes Wi-Fi Sync.  I do all my syncing manually from my MacBook Pro via USB to the iPod Touch.  The way I do things is purchase what I need from my MacBook Pro via iTunes and then manually sync it to the iPod Touch.  But there may be times, in the future, where I would want to purchase directly from the iPod Touch.
    I recently updated my AppleID with my new email address via my MacBook Pro.  But, I noticed that on my iPod Touch under "Settings" "Store" that it still shows my old AppleID.  I have all Automatic Downloads set to OFF.  How do I update the iPod Touch to reflect my new AppleID?
    3) When I'm using Safari and I navigate to several websites, how do I easily get back to my home page (which is set to Yahoo!)?
    Probably a dumb question but I can't seem to figure it out.  I've set Yahoo! to my homepage but I would think there should be or is (and can't find it) a button/icon like on my MacBook Pro Safari to take me directly back to the homepage.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    - Unless you use bluetooth, airplane mode and wifi off are the same as regards to battery drain. I like use airplane mode sinc that is directly under Settings.
    - Go to Settngs>Store and sign out of existing account and sign in with the updated one
    - I have no idea for the Safari question

  • Dual monitor, and other questions....

    I'm sorry for these questions if they've already been discussed... with all the back lash, I'm having a hard time wading through all the comments.
    I have a macbookpro.
    I use an external 24" monitor along with my 15" laptop for editing. My 15" is used for my canvas.
    1: Can I use this set up with the new FCP X?
    I use PPro CS5 currently and I like the way it handles media and saving my projects.
    2: How does FCP X handle media?
    2.a: Does it handle media like iPhoto / Aperture?
    2.b: Are projects saved like in iMovie?
    I keep all my media on external hard drives.
    3: Will this be a problem with FCP X?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Tony

    On my dual monitor Mac pro, the main monitor has the timeline and canvas. The second monitor has the events I think, basically the bin. You'd probably want to make your 24 the main monitor
    FCP X handles media and projects a lot like iMovie. iTunes and iPhoto are accessed just like iMovie. You can save media to whatever drive you want although you can't really drill down to a particular location
    Hope this helps

  • How to read the BDB log ... and other questions

    I am using a bdb database interface in the application openldap. When the bdb database there is established it creates, in addition to the data storage diles, a log file (log.0000000001). "file log.0000000001" reports that to be a binary file. How does one read that log?
    I have asked this question on the openldap forum and was advised it can be read using tools provided by Oracle to support Berkeley DB, and was furhter advised to go the the Oracle Berkeley DB site. Well, I have done that ... looked around for evidence of any such "tools", but have found nothing.
    Also, was advised there (in the openldap forum) that having that log file in the same directory with the data files is not a good idea, that it should be on a different spindle for performance purposes. I have looked at the BDB reference manual on line here but find no configuration options to move that log file to a different location.
    Help? Thanks.

    Hi Robert,
    The information about setting log directories can be found here:

    General information about log files that you may want to read about:

  • Show my visibility on iChat and other questions

    I have done several searches on this site and google's and still have yet to find some of the stuff I am looking for. I figured it was time to post so hopefully someone else will know.
    First is it possible to be logged into iChatav3 and show yourself to individual friends as being online or offline. For example, I have a friend "sam" who I want her to see me online but I want my other friend "joe" to see me as offline, and vice versa.
    Along the same lines, I have a .Mac account, the main member name is the one I use, however, the membership allows you to make other email addresses or profiles? I guess that is what they are called. Is it possible to use one of these to log in. When I try to "log in" that way it doesnt let me do it, do I need a full membership for each account?
    Secondly, is there a way to downgrade to ichat2? I still have my original CD. I am currently running 10.4.2, and I recently bought an iSight. I decided not to move to 10.4.3, but I thought that the update to iChat3 might be of some use. Boy was I wrong. I chat often with someone who uses AIM on a PC, and after i got my iSight, I kept getting the "no response recieved for 10 seconds" failure. We followed just about every tutorial we could find to adjust our settings but no avail. The only thing I can think of is that iChat3 doesnt play well with either 10.4.2 or my friends PC with AIM.
    Lastly, I have seen several sites where they have chatrooms for ichat. Can anyone recommend some good sites?
    Sorry so long and thanks for any help anyone can give.

    First is it possible to be logged into iChatav3 and
    show yourself to individual friends as being online
    or offline. For example, I have a friend "sam" who I
    want her to see me online but I want my other friend
    "joe" to see me as offline, and vice versa.
    Yes; go under iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security and change the blocking for the people you want to see and don't want to see. There are a number of options there, so choose wisely. My iChat Help Site will explain a few of the options (namely page 2 of my site)
    Along the same lines, I have a .Mac account, the main
    member name is the one I use, however, the membership
    allows you to make other email addresses or profiles?
    I guess that is what they are called. Is it
    possible to use one of these to log in. When I try
    to "log in" that way it doesnt let me do it, do I
    need a full membership for each account?
    .Mac aliases aren't able to log into the AIM network because they aren't associated with AIM in anyway, but rather a feature of .Mac. You don't necessarily need a full/paid subscription to .Mac to use a .Mac name on the AIM network. The free trial screenname with .Mac will stay active even after your trial has expired. Note that this is the ONLY part of the .Mac service that will stay active, though.
    Secondly, is there a way to downgrade to ichat2? I
    still have my original CD. I am currently running
    10.4.2, and I recently bought an iSight. I decided
    not to move to 10.4.3, but I thought that the update
    to iChat3 might be of some use.
    Due to the number of users asking this question, I took a stab at it. I can 100% say that iChat 2 is NOT compatible to be installed on a Tiger-based machine. There's no way short of downgrading to Panther to use iChat 2.
    Lastly, I have seen several sites where they have
    chatrooms for ichat. Can anyone recommend some good
    sites?
    ichatters.com
    ichatfinder.com
    .Mac online Community
    There are of course several others. Doing a Google search will turn up plenty of sites.
    I hope this helps,

  • Verizon iPhone - mobile hotspot and other questions about the data options

    I just ordered the Verizon iPhone. Can anyone explain the options here:
    1) Unlimited corporate email & Web (business and personal email) vs. Unlimited email and web for smartphones (personal email) - what's the difference?
    2) "3G Mobile Hotspot 2GB" - does this mean that there's no way I can share my 3G connection via wifi without paying the extra $20/month?? How about tethering to a single computer (USB, BT, or WiFi) - does that also require this extra option?
    3) equipment protection - what's the difference between Extended Warranty, Asurion Wireless Phone Protection, and Total Equipment Coverage?
    thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Hi
    Regarding your #2 question; yes, you must pay $20/mo to use the 3G Hotspot aspect of the iPhone, same as with any of Verizon's phones that offer this feature such as the Droid X, HTC phones, etc. And, there is NO additional charge to tether it to your computer; it's $20/mo regardless. You can still use the iPhone's WiFi feature to search the web which is part of the regular data plan. We're only talking about paying the $20/mo for the "up to 5 devices" jumping on your phone as a hot spot.
    I'm an Apple fan, have my MacBook Pro, but my phone is a Droid X. I've been a Verizon member since a year before they became Verizon. Additionally, I am part of the Verizon & Motorola test forum; testing new software updates as they come along.
    Something you should know about Verizon's 3G Hot Spot feature; it has issues. Those of us in the Motorola & HTC forums have experienced identical issues with regard to the 3G Hot Spot feature; it disconnects every 2 minutes, even when you are actively surfing the net. Verizon & Motorola Support have been very helpful to provide what they believe are fixes, including: changing the channel, hard resets, clearing cache, etc. It does not work. Most of us believe, this is NOT a Verizon issue, but a phone maker issue.
    I also have Verizon's MiFi 2200. It costs $59/mo and is purely a hot spot device; again up to 5 devices. I use it at home, for my lap top and for those who need connectivity. It outperforms the 3G hot spot feature of the Motorola & HTC phones by leaps & bounds, and I suspect it will out perform the 3G hot spot feature on the iPhone. Additionally, you get 5GB of download with the MiFi which Verizon is planning on offering increases to 8GB & 10GB. There is NO plan to increase the 2GB download limitation on the 3G Hot spot of the iPhone & other phones, and anyone who does basic software downloads & pics, knows 2GBS is not a lot space.
    So, I would recommend not paying the $20 until this is resolved. If you do, you could pay $39 more for a total of $59/mo for the MiFi, download the software to you home computer & notebook, and end up canceling your home internet service. I did this and have saved $70/mo in my total utilities.
    One other important note: Verizon's VZManager Software for their phones & MiFi. If you did pay the $20/mo for the iPhone and decided to tether to your USB port (for power while using) and you were to use the 3G hot spot feature, it will NOT work on 64 Bit computers, regardless if you are using the WiFi feature or directly using VZManager. The MiFi has this same issue. It will only work on 32 Bit when tethered. So, you'd have to reboot your computer to 32 Bit, if you have that ability. On a Macbook Pro, simply restart holding down the "3" & "2" keys.
    I have no idea why Verizon can't simply upgrade the firmware, even recent firmware upgrades have not resolved this. Most new computers are 64 Bit now.
    Despite this, I use my MiFi 100% untethered and carry my charge cord in my bag as it also works on my Droid, and I presume they may do the same for the iPhone; reduces the need for multiple power cords.
    I really looked forward to the 3G feature of the Motorola & HTC phones, but honestly, it's just not there yet; mine was slower than Dial Up, and I'm not kidding.

  • Oracle 8i Lite - OO4O and other Questions

    1.) Can OO4O (Oracle Objects for OLE) be used with the Oracle 8i Lite database ?
    2.) Does Oracle 8i Lite operate as a "client/server" database ?
    3.) Is it possible to have multi-user access to Oracle 8i Lite ?
    4.) Is there documentation somewhere that lists all of the limitations with 8i Lite as compared to 8i ?
    We are in the planning stages of a partial mobile system, and want to know how much difference in development efforts for the 2 platforms (Oracle 8i on Win 2000 server and Oracle 8i Lite on NT/98/95 Laptops).
    Any information on Oracle 8i Lite would be appreciated. -- Especially need an answer to question 1 right now.
    Thanks,
    Paula

    Hi,

  • Crossover Settings Confusion and Other Questions

    Equipment is as follows:
    - LG 55-inch 55LH90 LED TV
    - Denon AVR-590 A/V Receiver
    - Klipsch HD 500 5.1 Speakers
    - DirecTV High Def Satellite Receiver/DVR
    Long story very short is that I hit a button on the receiver remote about two weeks ago, unknowingly changing the existing audio settings to something along the lines of Matrix or Direct or Stereo.  I'm not one to fool with trying to customize settings on equip. like this... I usually just use the very basic functionality in controlling the equipment, as that's why I paid money 1.5 years ago to have everything professionally installed and calibrated.
    Upon accidentally hitting that remote control button, my audio went to pot, was very muffled, volume was minimal, sound was hissy, etc.  Sounded like I was listening to $15 speakers.
    Had no idea what had happened, didn't want to fool with trying to figure it out myself, contacted the receiver manufacturer to explain what had happened, they recommended immediately that I reset the receiver and thought the processor had locked up.  Did the reset and that of course unfortunately scrapped all of my custom calibration settings that the installers had configured a year and a half ago.  Sound still not improved.  Recommended that I send the receiver in for repair.  I held off for a few days on doing that and finally found the likely cause / solution on a message board, clicked the same button on the remote that I'd likely clicked by accident a few weeks earlier, and the sound was back to a more normal level.
    However, now I'm left without all of those custom calibrations via the Audyssey stuff that was erased, and I'm lost as can be as to how to get our system sounding like it did prior to all of this happening approx. 2 weeks ago.
    I'm lost on the crossover frequency settings and what they should be, what the dials on the rear of the subwoofer should be set at, what the crossover settings for the front / center / rear surround speakers should be, etc.
    I ran the Audyssey configuration using the supplied microphone that came with the receiver, but the resulting sound just still doesn't sound at all like it did originally after the installers did all of the setup / configuration back in Aug. 2009.
    Audyssey sets the crossover levels of my front L/R speakers to 120 HZ.  Audyssey sets the crossover level of my center channel to 110 Hz.  Audyssey sets the crossover levels of my rear L/R surround speakers to 120 Hz.  In what I seem to remember is the "bass management" area of the receiver settings, the crossover for the subwoofer is set at 80 Hz.  I believe another setting for the subwoofer is LFE+Main, too.
    With the above in mind, I have no idea at all (1) if the crossover values are appropriate for the various speakers and the subwoofer in the mix to distribute high/mid/low sounds appropriately between the speakers and the sub, (2) I have no idea what the "Level" knob on the rear of the subwoofer should be set to (values range from Min to Max), (3) I have no idea what the LowPass (Hz) knob on the rear of the subwoofer (ranges from 80 to 100) should be set to, and am just very confused / frustrated that with the accidental click of a button on the receiver remote 2 wks. ago and then Denon's tech support recommending the most drastic solution to this issue in resetting the receiver's processor and erasing all of the custom Audyssey settings.  I'm left with very sub-par sound as a result of all of this and can't seem to get the re-run Audyssey calibration routine to get my system back to sounding as phenomenal / balanced as it did for nearly 1.5 years straight after the initial setup / calibration of everything back in Aug. 2009 by the Best Buy professional installers.
    Any explanations of what the crossover settings for all of my speakers and subwoofer, knob settings on the rear of the subwoofer should be (in general, mind you, as I know all situations / environments / listening preferences are different), or any other helpful recommendations are GREATLY appreciated.  I'm very frustrated that Denon's tech support didn't first have me see if I had accidentally adjusted the sound properties via the remote via an accidental button click as opposed to taking my receiver back to square one.  I'm not a technical master of this stuff and have no idea what I'm doing wrong in trying to get everything back to sounding like the great system it used to sound like.
    Thanks in advance for any clearly-explained suggestions / recommendations on all of this.  My last resort is to contact Best Buy and pay them to come back out to re-calibrate everything themselves if I can't figure out where my calibration settings / adjustments are wrong.

    As I said in my first post in your other thread "you changed a setting the receiver and speakers are fine" <- not word for word but close to what I said LOL.  I knew from what you described thats what it had to be.  I do have a  concern about the phase issues and the distance readings but that could be placement of mic or if your speakers are facing straight out instead of being slightly faced inward.  May I ask where did you place the mic and was it on a tripod? I suggest either borrowing or buying a camcorder tripod for this.  I answered your questions below in blue.
     Also before ever doing a reset on any piece of equipment check the internet for some ideas as it could save you a lot of headaches.

    Okay... stayed up late last night running through the Audyssey calibration routine.  Took several tries at the calibration routine, as it kept on coming back saying I had phase issues with various speakers (it bounced around between telling me the phase issues were with the Front Left, the Front Right, and the Center Channel).  I just kept on re-running Audyssey until it finally ceased telling me some of the speakers had phasing issues.
    Before I continue, I can't thank you enough again for reading through my posts and offering your suggestions... really do appreciate the assistance!
    While I'm thinking about it, I determined why the sound qualities / volume / etc. got so poor all of a sudden about 2-3 weeks ago.  I apparently accidentally hit one of the buttons on the receiver remote that changed the sound setup from whatever it had been set on forever to something like "Virtual" or "Direct" or "Stereo" or something like that, as opposed to Dolby Digital or whatever it had been set on forever.  I unfortunately went through the recommended Microprocessor Reset procedure on the receiver per their tech support's recommendation & that's why I lost all of the original Audyssey calibrated settings from August 2009, when all along, I could've just resolved the audio issues if I'd known that I'd accidentally clicked a button on the receiver remote, and had known I just needed to re-click another button to get the audio back to what it was normally set on. Here are the results that were set by the Denon AVR-590 via the Audyssey calibration.  Note:  Before beginning the Audyssey calibration process, I had the volume level knob on the rear of the sub itself turned halfway to the 12 o'clock position, and the LowPass knob on the rear of the sub turned all the way to the right (I believe 160 was the value).  I ultimately turned the volume knob on the rear of the sub to about the 10 o'clock position as I re-ran the Audyysey calibration multiple times, as the dB values being shown for the sub were coming back at - 12.0 db or close to that with the sub volume set at the 12 o'clock position.  The sub dB value got closer to the desired 0 dB value (as shown below) with the sub volume knob set to the 10 o'clock position.
    * Speaker Configuration Check    *
    - Front Speaker                 Small
    - Center Speaker              Small
    - Subwoofer                       Yes
    - Surround Speaker         Small
    - S. Back (Preout)             None
    * Distance Check                 *
    - Front Left                         0.1 ft                     (this should seemingly be more like 15.0 ft)  is the speaker facing slightly in
    - Front Right                       1.3 ft                     (this should seemingly be more like 15.0 ft) "  it should be                             "
    - Center                               14.7 ft                   (this seems accurate)
    - Subwoofer                       16.3 ft                   (this seems accurate)
    - Surround Left                 8.0 ft                     (this seems accurate)
    - Surround Right               8.7 ft                     (this seems accurate)
    * Channel Level Check            *
    - Front Left                         + 12.0 dB  Lower this to about 2 or 3 db below the center channel
    - Center                               +  2.5 dB
    - Front Right                       + 12.0 dB Lower this to about 2 or 3 db below the center channel
    - Surround Right               +  2.0 dB
    - Surround Left                 +  2.5 dB
    - Subwoofer                       -  2.0 dB
    * Crossover Frequency Check      *
    - Front                                  60 Hz                    (seems low... not sure...) Set to 80 hz
    - Center                               120 Hz                   (seems reasonable... not sure...)you can leave it or set it to 80 hz
    - Surround                          150 Hz                   (seems high... not sure...) again leave it  or set it to 120 or 80 hz
    - S. Back                               None
    Okay, I've made the following minor adjustments thus far post-Audyssey calibration, as noted below:
    - SW Mode:                        LFE+Main  set to LFE only
    - LPF for LFE:                      120 Hz
    - Sub Volume Knob         Left sitting around the 10-11 o'clock position on rear of sub
    - LowPass Knob                                Left sitting at max setting to the right on rear of sub (I believe value is 160)
    - Front Left                         15.1 ft. is now what I've set the distance chk. at manually, as opposed to 0.1 ft
    - Front Right                       15.3 ft. is now what I've set the distance chk. at manually, as opposed to 1.3 ft.
    So there we are... ANY additional insight you may have on any of the values I've reported to you and whether or not they seem reasonable or completely out of whack is greatly appreciated.  My main concerns/questions are the various Crossover Freqency values set by Audyssey and whether or not they should likely be manually adjusted by me to better utilize/distribute the sound between the various speakers / sub, and secondly, why/how did Audyssey so incorrectly set the distance of my Front Left & Front Right speakers and was it likely wise of me to have set them to what they should be w/a new distance setting now of around 15 ft. for each of the Front Left and Front Right speakers?
    Here are my questions in a nutshell now.  I'm probably overanalyzing things now since having experienced this audio issue a few weeks ago and now I'm prob. hyper-sensitive to all aspects of the home theater sound I have at present.
    (1) Why do commercials seem to have expanded sound using all speakers whereas just you plain ol' TV programs seem to use fewer speakers and just mainly the center channel aside from some occasional applause and such coming out of the Front Left and Front Right speakers?
    The commercials are most likely broadcast in stereo instead of surround sound.  The receiver will switch from dolby digital to stereo and you won't even notice it except for the sound.
    (2) Why would I hit the "STD" button on the receiver remote to choose Dolby Digital vs. when
     to hit the "SIMU" button on the receiver remote to select "5 Channel Stereo" or other options via that "SIMU" button?5 Channel stereo is just that, Its 2 channel stereo being output through all 5 channels.  It is not 5 channel surround.  Standard give you Dolby digital, Prologic II etc.  Simulation gives you 5 channel stereo, Matrix, Hall and the other simulated surrounds. You want to hit the standard button.
    (3) On rear of subwoofer, I've set the LowPass knob all the way to the right, assuming that the "LFE +Main" and "LPF for LFE = 120Hz" settings override the LowPass knob on the rear of the sub, therefore having that knob turned all the way to the right to allow the settings for the sub in the receiver itself to control the LowPass / Crossover stuff.  Correct. As long as the sub accepts LFE signals the receiver will send anything lower than 120hz  directly to the sub. If not that is why you are setting it to the highest setting.
    (4) With Audyssey Crossover Frequencies set as shown above, are these reasonable/appropriate values to where all speakers are utilized properly for the equipment I have in distributing all low/mid/high frequencies appropriate between the various speakers / sub without audio drops and so forth?  The Crossover Frequency stuff is probably the most confusing part of all of this to me.
    Again, I can't thank you enough for your help and any additional recommendations you can make regarding my situation.
