First time recording live with logic and makie onyx
this week i am due to record my band live for the first time. i am running logic on a power book with external lacie 250gig. and will require 16 channels.
here is the problem, after channel 12 the input selector goes back to one even though i have 16 audio channels, and i can clearly see 13-24 but they are dull so i cannot select them?
how do i increase the amount of input options?
best
justin
Hi Justin,
Unfortunately, LE7 is limited to 12 simultaneous inputs. Logic Pro is unlimited.

Recording with Logic and Mackie Onyx?
Has anyone an opinion about how well these
new
Mackie Onyx mixers w/ the Firewire Card
perform working with Logic Pro 7?
Specifically in terms of tracking
16 live channels simultaneously and getting
low latency as well as tracking out thru Logic
and the Mackie Onyx to a standalone CD-R for
mixdown/mastering?It was my understanding that the audio which passes through the firwire pipe (in or out) does not carry the channel strip information with it.
this means that for tracking, your EQ settings will be for reference only. and you will have to use logic to EQ your work, and be careful on the way back in for CD burning not to double EQ your work.
Seems like a great idea, but has a number of drawbacks.
why not get a presonus or similar interface with many inputs, and then distribute the control room signal with something like a big knob?
seems like a simpler, more direct and ultimately "higher fidelity" solution.

Considering Lenovo For First Time, Others Experience with K410 and K330B
Hi everyone I am shopping for a new desktop. My 7 year old Dell Dimension 4700 died and am now shopping. I am looking to spend around $300 which I know is a pretty basic machine but for my needs(web surfing,quicken, word processing,low graphic games,burning dvds,listening to cds) that should be fine.
I like the flexibility that my Dell had with both DVD burner and CD rom drives and have wanted to have a second hard drive on whatever I end up with so I can separate the OS from the data.
From my researching it seems that my best options are either a refurb Ideacenre K410 or K330B which I've seen on the Lenovo outlet website listed for $281 and $287 respectively ) I don't hink Dell is what it used to be and the Hp's at this price seem to be very basic in terms of the MB used.
Otherwise I'm considering building my own as I have a brand new 400w ps, a barely used ATA drive(which I know would need an adapter),a still functioning SATA HD,a functional DVD burner and CDROM.Would need to buy mb,cpu,case, fan and basic sound card. But with a copy of windows 7 it is easily at least at $300 so it makes wonder if one of the above Lenovos is a better option.
I have read different things about Lenovo support and reliability so I'm not sure what to think.
So my questions are what are others experiences with these 2 desktops and also how reliable has your Lenovo been.Also others experience with refurbs would be helpful.
Sorry this is so long but I could really use help.

Yes, I also uninstalled Diskeeper.
Like Centex, I'm curious why you did that? It doesn't sound like you chose to install an alternate like PerfectDisk instead.
Re the data partition you mention, Lenovo tried that with the ideaPad with somewhat mixed results on their first effort. Perhaps an improved version will be available in the future.

Noob needs help with Logic and Motu live setup.
Hello everyone,
I'm a noob / semi noob who could use some help with a live setup using 2 MOTU 896HD's and Logic on a Mac.
Here's the scenario:
I teach an outdoor marching percussion section (a drumline and a front ensemble of marimbas and vibes). We have an amazing setup of live sound to amplify and enhance the mallet percussion. There is a yamaha PA system with 2 subs and 2 mains which are routed through a rack unit that processes the overall PA balance. I'm pretty sure that the unit is supposed to avoid feedback and do an overall cross-over EQ of the sound. Other then that unit, we have 2 motu896hd units which are routed via fire-wire. I also have a coax cable routing the output of the secondary box to the input of the primary box (digital i/o which converts to ADAT in (i think?)..?
Here's the confusion:
There are more then 8 inputs being used from the ensemble itself, so I need the 16 available inputs to be available in Logic. I was lead to believe that the 2nd motu unit would have to be sent digitally to the 1st motu unit via coax digital i/o. Once in Logic, however, I cannot find the signal or any input at all past the 8th input (of the 1st unit).
Here's the goal:
All of my performers and inputs routed via firewire into a Mac Mini running OSX and Logic pro.
I want to be able to use MainStage and run different patches of effects / virt. instruments for a midi controller keyboard / etc.
I want to be able to EQ and balance the ensemble via Logic.
Here's another question:
How much latency will I be dealing with? Would a mac mini with 4gb of ram be able to handle this load? With percussion, I obviously want the sound as latency free as possible. I also, however, want the flexibility of sound enhancement / modification that comes with Logic and the motu896hd units.
Any help would be REALLY appreciated. I need the routing assistance along with some direction as to whether or not this will work for this type of application. I'm pretty certain it does, as I have spoken with some other teachers in similar venues and they have been doing similar things using mac mini's / logic / mainstage / etc.
Thanks in advance,
ChrisYou'll definitely want to read the manual to make sure the 896HDs are connected together properly. ADAT is a little tricky, it's not just a matter of cabling them together. Go to motunation.com if you need more guidance on connecting multiple devices. Beyond that initial hookup, here are a couple of quick suggestions:
1. Open CueMix and see if both devices are reported there. If not, your connections aren't correct. Be sure to select 44.1kHz as your sample rate, otherwise you are reducing the number of additional channels. For instance at 88.2kHz you would get half the additional channels via ADAT.
2. You may need to create an aggregate device for the MacBook to recognize more than the first 896HD. Lots of help on this forum for how to do that. Again, first make sure you have the 896HDs connected together properly.
3. As for latency with Mainstage on the Mini, no way to know until you try it. Generally MOTU is fantastic for low latency work but Mainstage is a question mark for a lot of users right now. If the Mini can't cut the mustard, you have a great excuse to upgrade to a MacBook Pro. -

I just started my Macbook air the first time, connected it with my wlan and know it asks me for a password and it does not accept the only password I know, what can I do?
It needs the user password for the wireless router, that would have been set by whomever installed the router, if that was you then try to find the password. If you can not find the password reset the router to factory default and set it up again.

Performing Live with Logic Pro - any tips?
Hello to everyone on this forum,
I only recently joined, but have been using Logic ever since I learned to engineer my own music.
I was wonderring if anyone here performing live with Logic?
I have been using this programm since version 4 and ever so happy with it as far as the recording in the studio is concerned. However the time has come to try and play it all out live.
Many of my friends suggested Ableton Live. I went ahead and purchased it. But to my great disappointment the midi section of Live is far from perfect. I couldn't get a simple task of changing programs and banks to be communicated to the external modular properly and after a week of frustration I am back on Logic's case.
Majority of my songs up till recent have all been written with audio files, where Ableton would be very useful, but all the new stuff is using the midi. So I am in split minds about the situation.
I am not quite sure how to set up a live performance of a few songs in Logic. Any tips here would be appreciated!
Also do any of you use Ableton and Logic at the same time on stage? Is it safe on one computer? I mean how likely is it to crush during the show?
Much respect to all in the know.
Natalia

how can i format my macbook 10.5.8 to snow leopord i am doing first time format how its process and do i need to formet or upgrade and i have a snow leopard DVD???
First, I'd advise you to make a backup. Time Machine is fine, but I recommend making a bootable backup with Carbon Copy Cloner if possible.
Then, insert the Snow Leopard DVD (it's a retail version, right? Not a grey disk meant for another machine?) and run the installer on the disk. Should be automatic from that point in. You don't need to reformat your drive.

It's simple... I want the Illustrator pen tool to ALWAYS make corner annchor points and NEVER smooth. Right now I have to convert every single one of them, or I have to do a work around every time I draw a line and make one of the handles disappear. Is there some simple setting out there that will just "make it so?"@
The video I am watching this guy is just dragging every line to make curves. And every anchor point is a corner. He is not switching back and forth between the pen and the anchor points tool, and he is not using the convert points tool. He draws a curved line and starts another straight line only to curve it with a click and a drag. It is super efficient, and I could save a world of time if I could figure out what he is doing.

What do I do. I just turned my iPod touch 5 on for the first time in about two months and it telling me that it is disabled for 23,079,134 minutes please help anything would be good I also have not backed it up for a while now
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

Applications are mentioned free, but when we start downloading one dollar is charged in my credit card, but only for the first time when i switch on and use it for the first time one dollar is charged. and from next application it is free. why?

It should be within a few days, but it might vary a bit by bank/provider :
I am in India, if the bank don't refunds , what to do?
Rajagopal.pngr :- It is only a holding charge, it is not a permanent charge. If it isn't refunded within a few days or so (and it quite possibly won't be over a weekend) then you can query the charge with Apple. -

Hi, I hope this question won't seem too basic but if I want to use a new larger external drive for my time machine backups, will it do a new full backup the first time I plug it in and if so, do I really need all the old backups on my smaller external drive?

Yes, it will do a full backup.
and if so, do I really need all the old backups on my smaller external drive?
Only if you want to be able to go back in time to those previous Time Machine backups. When you plug in the new larger external drive, you will only be able to go back as far as the first day you plugged it in and ran the first Time Machine backup on it. -
I have a new Macbook Air, 6 months old, and for the last few days the fan had run continuously, this is the first time it has ever run, and now it won't stop, the fan starts up as soon as I turn it on and the computer seems to running more slowy.The computer is not hot but I am worried it may burn out,.Any ideas on how I can fix this please ?
Hello dwb,
Here is the screen shot, just the top half, there are another 10 pages, but I guess this should enough for you to have an idea of waht is going on, bit small I am afraid. No, I don't have any apps setup to run when I open my computer, the kernel, varies between 290 and 305 per cent ish.
Would that PRAM thing help ? I think it may be the computer itself, well something inside, as this the first time that the fan has ever started running since I have this computer, even when I have 3 or 4 apps running.
Thank you again for your advice,
Regard,
