First Time User, have some questions...,

I've recently obtained mainstage and I'm very interested in using it. I have a weaker computer, but I wouldn't be pushing it real hard I don't think...,
My questions are:
-Is there a way I can map drum loops to a keyboard (either my computer keyboard or midi/usb one) so I can change them on the fly?
-Similar to above, could I map voice mods to a button?
-I'm interested in looping, much like Imogen Heap or Zoe Keating. Is there a way in software to do this? I can sing/play something and it will record and play it repeatedly until I stop it with a button push.
Thanks in advance

The program you want is Ableton Live. It is made to do what you are looking for. You might (and I mean "might") be able to achieve something similar with Mainstage but not without compromise. Ableton Live is the standard for live recording and looping.

    Hi Sara,
    First of all thank you very much for your prompt responses. Here are my comments to each of your suggestions below, and just to let you know I am using a Farm Admin account.  I
    was able to do this way after we upgraded from SP 2007 to SP 2010 as well.   I would like to mention I'm not a SP expert, just been given the responsibility due to another person handling it just left, so apologize with some of
    my novice questions below?
    1. When I change the Operators to "Contains" or "Not Contains" get generates this error below.
         Error generating in red towards top of the audience page..."One or more values typed on this page are not valid.  Check the text for the indicated fields."
         Error occurred where you enter your "Value"..."Could not resolve the user identity. Please re-enter the account name."
    2. We have a 3-server-tier topology (SPWeb, SPDB, and SPFarm).  Does the updates only apply to where the Central Admin is installed, which is the "SPFarm"?  I checked all
    3 servers, and NONE of the updates (KB2899494, KB2889845, and KB2883055) you'd mentioned are installed.
    3. I'm new to IISRET, I need to be extra cautious of what I run in production, is this safe to run with no problem?  What does it do?  And How do I run it?
    4. I'm also new to viewing the ULS log.  I'd just downloaded a viewer for it.  I'm assuming the only logs I need to be concern with viewing are within the SPAdmin (where Central
    Admin is installed)?  There's so many of them, what should I be looking for exactly?

  • I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac Pro

    I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac pro (early 2009).
    These questions might seem stupid to many of you, but, as my last, in fact my one and only, computer before the Mac Pro was a IICX/4/80 running System 7.5, I am a complete novice regarding this particular matter.
    A few days ago I installed a WD3000HLFS VelociRaptor 300GB in bay 1, and moved the original 640GB HD to bay 2. I now have 2 bootable internal drives, and currently I am using the VR300 as my startup disk. Instead of cloning from the original drive, I have reinstalled the Mac OS, and all my applications & software onto the VR300. Everything is backed up onto a WD SE II 2TB external drive, using Time Machine. The original 640GB has an eDrive partition, which was created some time ago using TechTool Pro 5.
    The system will be used primarily for photo editing, digital imaging, and to produce colour prints up to A2 size. Some of the image files, from scanned imports of film negatives & transparencies, will be 40MB or larger. Next year I hope to buy a high resolution full frame digital SLR, which will also generate large files.
    Currently I am using Apple's bundled iPhoto, Aperture 2, Photoshop Elements 8, Silverfast Ai, ColorMunki Photo, EZcolor and other applications/software. I will also be using Photoshop CS5, when it becomes available, and I will probably change over to Lightroom 3, which is currently in Beta, because I have had problems with Aperture, which, until recent upgrades (HD, RAM & graphics card) to my system, would not even load images for print. All I had was a blank preview page, and a constant, frozen "loading" message - the symbol underneath remained static, instead of revolving!
    It is now possible to print images from within Aperture 2, but I am not happy with the colour fidelity, whereas it is possible to produce excellent, natural colour prints using its "minnow" sibling, iPhoto!
    My intention is to buy another 3 VR300s to form a 4 drive Raid 0 array for optimum performance, and to store the original 640GB drive as an emergency bootable back-up. I would have ordered the additional VR300s already, but for the fact that there appears to have been a run on them, and currently they are out of stock at all, but the more expensive, UK resellers.
    I should be most grateful to receive advice regarding the following questions:
    QUESTION 1:
    I have had a look at the RAID setting up facility in Disk Utility and it states: "To create a RAID set, drag disks or partitions into the list below".
    If I install another 3 VR300s, can I drag all 4 of them into the "list below" box, without any risk of losing everything I have already installed on the existing VR300?
    Or would I have to reinstall the OS, applications and software again?
    I mention this, because one of the applications, Personal accountz, has a label on its CD wallet stating that the Licence Key can only be used once, and I have already used it when I installed it on the existing VR300.
    QUESTION 2:
    I understand that the failure of just one drive will result in all the data in a Raid 0 array being lost.
    Does this mean that I would not be able to boot up from the 4 drive array in that scenario?
    Even so, it would be worth the risk to gain the optimum performance provide by Raid 0 over the other RAID setup options, and, in addition to the SE II, I will probably back up all my image files onto a portable drive as an additional precaution.
    QUESTION 3:
    Is it possible to create an eDrive partition, using TechTool Pro 5, on the VR300 in bay !?
    Or would this not be of any use anyway, in the event of a single drive failure?
    QUESTION 4:
    Would there be a significant increase in performance using a 4 x VR300 drive RAID 0 array, compared to only 2 or 3 drives?
    QUESTION 5:
    If I used a 3 x VR300 RAID 0 array, and installed either a cloned VR300 or the original 640GB HD in bay 4, and I left the Startup Disk in System Preferences unlocked, would the system boot up automatically from the 4th. drive in the event of a single drive failure in the 3 drive RAID 0 array which had been selected for startup?
    Apologies if these seem stupid questions, but I am trying to determine the best option without foregoing optimum performance.

    Well said.
    Steps to set up RAID
    Setting up a RAID array in Mac OS X is part of the installation process. This procedure assumes that you have already installed Mac OS 10.1 and the hard drive subsystem (two hard drives and a PCI controller card, for example) that RAID will be implemented on. Follow these steps:
    1. Open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities).
    2. When the disks appear in the pane on the left, select the disks you wish to be in the array and drag them to the disk panel.
    3. Choose Stripe or Mirror from the RAID Scheme pop-up menu.
    4. Name the RAID set.
    5. Choose a volume format. The size of the array will be automatically determined based on what you selected.
    6. Click Create.
    Recovering from a hard drive failure on a mirrored array
    1. Open Disk Utility in (/Applications/Utilities).
    2. Click the RAID tab. If an issue has occurred, a dialog box will appear that describes it.
    3. If an issue with the disk is indicated, click Rebuild.
    4. If Rebuild does not work, shut down the computer and replace the damaged hard disk.
    5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
    6. Drag the icon of the new disk on top of that of the removed disk.
    7. Click Rebuild.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2559
    Drive A + B = VOLUME ONE
    Drive C + D = VOLUME TWO
    What you put on those volumes is of course up to you and easy to do.
    A system really only needs to be backed up "as needed" like before you add or update or install anything.
    /Users can be backed up hourly, daily, weekly schedule
    Media files as needed.
    Things that hurt performance:
    Page outs
    Spotlight - disable this for boot drive and 'scratch'
    SCRATCH: Temporary space; erased between projects and steps.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StandardRAIDlevels
    (normally I'd link to Wikipedia but I can't load right now)
    Disk drives are the slowest component, so tackling that has always made sense. Easy way to make a difference. More RAM only if it will be of value and used. Same with more/faster processors, or graphic card.

  • I have some question on "Use LabVIEW to Control two DSP and RTDX"

    I have some question when writing LabVIEW. I have DSP6711 and DSP6416, I use RTDX to send data to LabVIEW.
    I write three programes for LabVIEW, one is RTDX for DSP6711, another is RTDX for DSP6416, and the final is RTDX for two DSPs.
    The program of LabVIEW is workable when doing DSP6711 or doing DSP6416. But there is some problem when running DSP6711 and DSP6416 on LabVIEW at the same time.
    How to tell the LabVIEW's tool of " RTDX read" to  get the datas from different DSP

    What you want to do should be fairly straightward and a good way to learn labview. 
    First off, if you haven't already, I would download the drivers for the Keithley and Agilent instruments.  I found the keithley drivers at the link below.  You will need to find the labview drivers for the Agilent PS at their website.  Drivers are the VI's you will use in your program to control the insturments.
    http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E90B0659CE034080020E74861
    If you open Labview and go to the help menu and click on Labview bookshelf there is alot of information on getting you started coding labview.   This should get you started, if you have anymore questions just ask in this same thread and I am sure you will get all the help you need.

  • Newbie, i have some question

    i'm starting a work and i have some question.
    do i have any advantage in storing procedures and functions in my database?
    what happen if i do the command : grant create any view to user_xpto;
    this is some really dum question but if you can help me i appreciate. before starting to work i realy want to undertand this. i'm doing this in oracle 9i and i am programing in pl/sql developer.

    Hi Ricardo,
    I don't think you've picked the right forum for your question, but I'll try and answer it anyway ;)
    Yes there are huge advantages to storing your procedures and functions in the database. Note however that I would suggest you really use packages rather than standalone procedures and functions. The main reason for this is that you won't have the nightmare (that most of us encounter at some time o r other) of broken dependencies.
    For me, the database is the place to store the logic that affects my data. If you have a routine that you use to create a customer (for example)...if you store that routine in the database (in a package) then ANY client application (Forms, C, Delphi, HTMLDB etc) will be able to call that routine. If however you coded that routine into your client app then you would not be able to reuse it and you would end up having to implement it in each client application. If you then have to change that routine then you would have to change it in multiple client applications as opposed to a single routine if you held it in the database.
    The other big big BIG reason to put your code in the database, is that it will be far more efficient to put your code in the database and to make use of bind variables (etc) than to code it outside of the database.
    There can be exceptions to this rule, for example if you have an incredible complex calculation that could be written faster in C then it could make sense to code the logic externally...however those cases are few and far between (in my opinion).
    There are two groups of Database users in my opinion...
    1) Those who use the database only store and retrieve data, they do all their logic in their client apps...don't believe in constraints, believe that PL/SQL isn't a real language etc....
    2) The ones with the smile on their faces....
    As for your question about "grant create any view"....ummm it will allow the user_xpto to create any view....it's quite "dangerous"...they could replace another users view...do you really want them to be able to do that?

  • Just installed Arch again on my laptop, have some questions

    Hi there.
    After a few months of being linux-less, i decided to install it again (I corrupted my partition last time and have been too lazy to fix it =P). I'm also currently using KDEmod, which is great.
    However, I have some questions.
    1) It doesn't seem that the sound settings are being saved when I log out of KDE. It's always at 100%, and I always have to turn it down.
    2) I have this little cell-phone looking icon in the systray, and when i mouse over it it tell me:
    Network Management is changing!
    it is highly unstable and will crash your desktop. Until further notice, please use KDE 4 knetworkmanager instead
    Well, I looked an I've already got knetworkmanager installed:
    yaourt -Ss knetworkmanager
    kdemod-core/kdemod-networkmanagement-knetworkmanager-kde4 1030904-1 [installed] (kdemod kdemod-complete kdemod-networkmanagement kdemod-uninstall)
    KNetworkManager for KDE4
    kdemod-core/kdemod-networkmanagement-knetworkmanager-kde4-debug 1030904-1 (kdemod-debug kdemod-networkmanagement-debug kdemod-uninstall)
    KNetworkManager for KDE4 (Debugging Symbols)
    aur/knetworkmanager 0.2.2-4 (71)
    A NetworkManager front-end for kde3 and kde4, based in version 0.2.2 stable
    aur/knetworkmanager-unstable 737532-1 (Out of Date) (6)
    A NetworkManager front-end for KDE
    I remember when i had Arch before that I used ArchAssistant to manage my wired/wireless connections. Is that still around? Can anyone recommend anything else, cause I also remember getting ArchAssistant to work was a hell of a project.
    3) When I first logged in, the Akonadi Server Self-report popped up. I rememebr this from before, and could never get it to work (I really don't even know what Akonadi is, tbh). It says that the control and server process is not register to D-Bus. How can I fix this? Would I have to start and configure the MySQL daemon?
    Thanks for any help!

    For the first one, set the volume to your desired startup level, open a terminal window and run "sudo aslactl store"
    Then in your startup daemons add @alsa. That will restore your volume settings on boot, not sure about just logging in and out of KDE though. (I don't run KDE)

  • Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09?  I have some questions.

    Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09?  I have some questions.

    Are you actually having a problem with the new Lacie drive, or are you just asking is the Lacie drive somehow different from your old G-Drive?
    From a connection standpoint, most Lacie desktop drives have both USB and FireWire connections, just like the G-Drives do.  You would connect and use it the same as a G-Drive.
    Regarding capturing to the external HD, if you are using a camcorder that has FireWire (iLink) connection, it is not advisable to have an external FireWire HD connected to your Mac at the same time as your camcorder; there are often communication conflicts between the camcorder and the hard drive if they are connected at the same time.  The conflicts usually appear as either dropped frames or a complete freeze.   This is more common with Canon miniDV camcorders but I have also seen this behavior with Sony miniDV camcorders.  (The problem is the camcorder's FW implementation, not the hard drive.)  The workaround is to capture to your Mac's internal HD and later copy the captured video to your external HD.

  • Clean installing Lion- have some questions.

    I'm gonna clean install Lion on my macbook pro and have some questions regarding the same...

    is it true that downloading mac app store apps again from the app's page reincurrs the charges?
    any best/worst practices i should consider while reinstalling Lion? I'm gonna perform a clean install.
    most important... how do i initiate a clean install?!
    Thanks for your time, in advance.

    Thank you, that definitely suggests that it isn't actually doing anything useful!
    I switched it off, cleared the PRAM and re-formatted the drive unencrypted (I found the option, it was in the dropdown for filesystem).
    That appears to have been the issue, as the download and install immediately identified the disc name, which it wasn't doing before. Guess it was having an issue with my encrypted drive. I guess it's handy I'm not a secret agent or an political dissident I shall run unencrypted...

  • First Time User - Confirmation Of Subscription and...

    First Time User.   I want to replace my existing VoIP with Skype equivalent.  The wiring between Skype hardware and internal phone lines is already in place for the existing VoIP so there is no issue there and I am aware there is no number transfer.
    Calls are all from to USA. Incoming number required. Voice Mail Required.  From the website I believe the following package would be required.
    1. Purchase Home Phone Adaptor, one time, $49.99.  I configure it with online number somehow but that's a TBD for later. 
    2. Purchase subscription for US and Canada $2.99 a month or yearly (save 15%)
    3. Purchase online number $30 per annum with subscription purchase. comes with voicemail.
    I am assuming Android/iTouch calls over Skype will be able to use same Skype subscription?
    Is there anything else I should know?

    Hi Mike,
    It seems you have done your research.
    1) For outgoing calls Unlimited US&Canada works fine
    2) For incoming calls Online Number costs 30USD per year
    Important: Make sure you purchase a subscription first, otherwise you don't get a discount and Online Number will be 60USD
    3) Voicemail is free service, you can set it up any time from your account:
    https://secure.skype.com/account/
    4) From hardware side, subscription is linked to your Skype account, therefore it doesn't matter if you make calls from PC, certified Skype phone adaptor, Android phone or iTouch.

  • HT201303 I have rented 2 movies the past 9 days and they won't transfer to my iPad - error message says that they cannot be played on my iPad.  I haven't watched either movie and this is the first time I have ever had this happen.

    I have rented 2 movies the past 9 days and they won't transfer to my iPad (first generation).  Get the same error message that says they cannot be played on my iPad.  I haven't watched either movie and this is the first time I have ever had this happen after several successful movie rentals and transfers.

    When you have a query please post the feed URL rather than its contents. For the record, yours is at
    http://www.honywoodschool.com/podcast/44986
    I don't have an iPad to test this, so I can only refer you to Apple's Podcast Tech Specs page:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#formattingvideo
    This says that the maximum video size for an iPad is 1024x768 - your latest episode is 1280x720.
    Slightly confusingly, it also says
    'iPad & Apple TV can play the following video formats:
    H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format'
    which suggests that mp4 files are even more limited.
    Incidentally your feed gives this URL for the media file:
    http://www.honywoodschool.com/user/59/133934.mp4
    However when downloaded this produces a file called 'howtosetupappeid.mp4' so soe sort of redirect appears to be in place, and these can sometimes cause trouble. It's better to link directly to the file - it's possible that the iPad doesn't handle the redirect.
    That's all I can suggest: if it still doesn't cover the problem I can only refer you to the iPad forum where someone may be able to actually try your podcast and offer a comment.
