Garage Band Preference settings for use with Reason

i am trying to get my settings right in both GB and Reason so that i can record my reason samples into GB . So far i finally learned from you folks how to play the samples in either GB or R using of course my Keyboard and ii know to start GB first so it is master ,, Having done that , i can see that GB does recognize that i am pressing the keys even when playing the Reason sounds but the reason sounds are not showing up as a signal on the GB volume controls ,, all that shows is that little dot when i press a key next to the tempo .. So far i am thinking that i need my Generator setting in GB set to : AU NET RECEIVE ( ??? ) The Reason preference's under advanced MIDI are also ??? but under External Control in Reason , i need to know for Bus A , B , C , D which to have set at my : Kontrol 49 MIDI IN and which of the A,B,C,D BUS's to have set for : KONTROL 49 PORT A and/or KONTROL 49 PORT B . Thankyou much and i hope you all have a great rest of the day : ) Steve

Saving Settings for use with Export using Quicktime Conversion

Dear All,
Is it possible to save a set of settings for use with the Export using Quicktime Conversion feature? The reason I ask is that we have to export a quicktime of every tv commercial we make (using the same settings) and it would be great if "one click" could deliver the export settings we need.
All the best, Sean

Lazy Nezumi - settings for use with CC

I am finding it hard to find my way round way this software - the incomprehensible (to me) manual doesn't help - and I'd be grateful for a steer on what are good default settings for smoothing curves in freehand drawing. None of the settings seem to help or have a simple and useful effect for freehand work.
Can I assume that it only works with the brush tool and not with other tools like the Art History Brush?
I know Trevor D has mentioned this software a couple of times.
Thanks.

David, you had me wondering there. I don't think I have ever used the Art History brush. I did try though, and initially thought LNP did not work with that tool, but with high settings I could see that it does.
For smooth lines use the Massive Smooth preset with mode set to Moving Average. The default values are good for the Brush tool, but seem to work better with much higher 'Amount' setting for the Art History brush. But I have no experience with the Art history brush, and don't even have a clear idea how it works.
Lazy Mouse with the Pulled string mode, are used for smooth lines with abrupt changes of direction. You have to stop and move the cursor back a touch to take the tension out of the pulled string. Then move in the new direction and when the pulled string becomes taut the line will follow the cursor again.
Actually, the animated gifs on the site explain it better than my words
Pulled String:
Moving Average
Moving Average + Catch Up
I don't think that Guilaume ever sleeps. He has never taken more than 30 minutes to reply to an email, even on Christmas day! He is super helpful, and tends to respond immediately if you use the LNP Chat facility.
If you check out the Feedback page, you'll find lots of LNP users that do 'similar' work to you, although I have to say none that were quite like your beautiful painterly type artworks. You'll possibly recognize some of the names, and maybe swap some ideas with them. It's quite a little community, but there isn't a forum unfortunately.
I am not sure how relevant they will be to your work, but do check out the Constraint presets. For line drawing I find they are really useful.

Having spoken nicely about your work David, it's only fair we let other users take a look

JVC GZ-HD7U MPEG Streamclip export settings for use with FCP

There are a number of compression options in the free MPEG Streamclip 1.9.2 and it's unclear what's best or how I would figure that info out. My guess is Apple HDV 1080i50, Apple HDV 1080i60, Apple DVCPRO HD 1080i50, or Apple DVCPRO HD 1080i60. The default setting was Apple Motion JPEG A, but this produced a huge file and doesn't seem right anyway. I think the desired frame size is 1920 x 1080, but I'm uncertain if I need to end up with an interlaced or progressive .mov file. My selectable options for progressive/interlaced are: "Interlaced Scaling," "Reinterlace Chroma," and "Deinterlace Video." Selecting "Deinterlace Video" excludes use of the other two options.
These clips will eventually be edited in FCP and I'm guessing that the appropriate settings will match whatever is selected at the export stage.
I'm using the JVC Everio GZ-DH7U HD Hard disk camcorder...I'm not sure if JVC uses the same setting across the board for it's HD cameras or maybe just the Everio cameras are similarly designed??
Thanks to all!!

the output should match the source file, generally speaking. So if you camera is making HD files then using a HD sized coded would suffice.
HDV (IIRC) is 1440x1080. I often find that using the default settings for a particular file type in Streamclip often work quite well.
As a test, take a small file. if it works, great batch process away, if not, tweak it and then try the same small file until you get a desirable result. Rinse and repeat.

Reason preference settings for use in GB and GB settings

Hello again everyone , first my apologies to anyone not wanting to see another Reason question but i am trying to get my settings right in both so i can record my reason stuff into GB . I am so far thinking that i need my Generator setting in GB set to : AU NET RECEIVE ( ??? ) The Reason preference's under advanced MIDI are also ??? but under External Control in Reason , i need to know for Bus A , B , C , D which to have set at my : Kontrol 49 MIDI IN and which of the A,B,C,D BUS's to have set for : KONTROL 49 PORT A and/or KONTROL 49 PORT B . Thankyou much and i hope you all have a great rest of the day : ) Steve

Harm> Good question. In my case it's for a handful of reasons:
I don't know any better.
Have a customer requirement to hand them trimmed footage (They just want the highlights not everything that was originally shot).
They want the trimmed footage in as lossless a format as they can get that's still editable convienently on a mac book.
The original footage is 1920x1080 24mb/sec AVC @ 60i (29.97fps)
They suggested ProRes (not possble at all on a PC to my knowledge). Or DVCPRO HD. Which is technically possible but ends up matting the footage due to DVCPRO HD not supporting the resolutions the camera originally shot in.
I've seen you post quite a lot around here and it seems like you've been using the Adobe suite for a while.
I've only been doing this for a year. Got any tricks or tips to help out a noob wanting to learn how to do it right?
Googling I found tons of tutorials/videos/etc on going FCP -> PP. Next to zero on going the other way. Most things I did find claim it's not possible which strikes me as a cop out answer.
I have an i7 975 3.3ghz quad core so rendering times aren't too bad. (just under two hours for 3 minutes of video). What I have resorted to is rendering the same project out in every single codec I have and trying to load it in FCP to see which looks best.
As you can imagine this is getting pretty tiring.

Full-quality export settings for use with Xbox 360

Greetings, all.
I use Rivet to stream video from my Mac to my Xbox 360. Recently I purchased a Sony HDR-HC5 HDV camera, and I want to see that video on my TV at full quality. I don't have an HDMI cable or a DVI-to-HDMI cable, so my only option is to stream this video to the 360 via Rivet.
To accomplish this, I have been trying to export my video at full quality from iMovie HD 6, but one of a couple things happens: 1- the resolution is intolerably low (I want 1080i), 2- the 360 complains about an unsupported format. I've tried exporting in QT format with expert settings, but no matter what I try, I have been unable to find a combination that produces 1080i that can be viewed on the 360.
Surely somebody else on here has gone through this exercise and has figured out what works. If you have any info on this, please share! I searched through the archives and didn't find anything useful. I've also searched on Google and the answer is still elusive.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, but the Xbox will in fact view MPEG-4, which iMovie can export. The only problem I'm having is with the quality of the output. The quality is in the movie that is exported, not in the Xbox's viewing of the movie - the movie looks just as bad on my Mac mini as it does thru my Xbox...
With experimentation, I think I'm getting closer to my goal...

What products are available to connect a electric guitar to a IPAD 4 for use with garage band???

what products are availabe to connect an ipad 4 with electric guitar for use with garage band???

I know this will sound a bit snarky but the best source for information is an Internet search. Typing in "connect guitar to iPad" produced pages of products. This one looked interesting to me...
http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/jam.php?gclid=CPSpza6q2bQCFU6mPAodpmcAqg
I don't recall if the iPad 4 has the new lightning connector or not. If it does you'll probably need a 30pin-to-lightening adapter.

My garage band will not work properly with new lion upgrade..HELP

My garage band will not work properly with new lion upgrade..HELP
I have tried to open old session i have done in garage band and many of the effects and instruments I have used will not show up. The system seems to have a bug.

If the graphical user interface looks broken, that is quite often a problem of corrupted user preferences - have you tried to remove the preferences file, as described in the FAQ
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
Here is again the short version:
Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
Open your User Library in the Finder. It is hidden in MacOS X Lion, so use the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > GO hold down the "Options" key, until the library appears in the menu, select it.
In the window that opens, open the folder "Preferences" and remove the file:com.apple.garageband.plist and com.apple.garageband.plist.lockfile
Then try again to run GarageBand and download the loops.
The preferences file stores all you user settings that you set using the "Preferences" panel in GarageBand, also the layout of the GarageBand window and the location of your recent projects. You will have to enter these settings again after removing the file.
Regards
Léonie

Best hard drive for use with Time Machine

Hi,
Has anyone determined what the best external hard drive is for use with Time Machine? Is there a particular one that works exceptionally well with Time Machine, or is it much of a muchness?
I'm looking for a Firewire 400 & Firewire 800 drive that STAYS ON all the time, and doesn't automatically spin down or spin up like the rubbish WD My Book drives do.

I can't tell you if it is the "best" hard drive for you to use with TM, but I'm quite happy with the 500 GB Buffalo Technology DriveStation Combo TurboUSB I bought recently. It is quiet, quite inexpensive for the capacity (I paid about $120 for one on sale at Fry's), & completely compatible with OS X & TM.
Best of all for me, it automatically powers down when my iMac sleeps. It also spins down after a time if the Mac's Energy Saver preference "Put hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" is checked; otherwise it remains spun up until the Mac is put to sleep or switched off.
It comes with "Turbo" USB & Memeo "AutoBackup" software, neither of which I installed. (The box didn't claim these extras came in a Mac version but both Mac & Windows versions were included on the CD.) Out-of-the-box, I reformatted the drive with the Apple Partition Map scheme & two partitions, a 160 GB one for cloning my internal drive & the rest for TM. The drive works perfectly for both uses & seems quite fast, as one would expect from a 7200 rpm SATA drive.

What is an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?

Can anyone suggest an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro? I have used FrontPage with my PC, but am changing to a MacBook Pro.

It largely depends on your skill level. Do you want to write web page code, or do you want to just design something and have it turn into a web page automatically?
If you are more of a designer, try these:
RapidWeaver
Freeway Pro
Muse
If you want to write web page code, try these:
Coda
BBEdit
Dreamweaver
If you really don't want to write the code and want the best experience for your viewers, and you want to spend the least amount of time on it, my recommendation is:
No program at all.
Instead, sign up with a web site company like:
WordPress.com (hosted by them) or WordPress.org (hosted on your server)
Squarespace
Wix
The reason is that these companies have fully operational, nicely designed web site templates that you just fill in with your words and pictures, and they are ready to go. They also give you these benefits:
Already designed to the latest web standards
Already designed to resist hackers
Already designed to work on all browsers
Already designed to automatically adjust the page for readability on desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone screen sizes
Already designed for accessibility
Already designed for Search Engine Optimization so that your page will be found on Google
Already designed with social media links built in if you want
It is not like the old days where you build a site in Front Page and you assume it will only be seen on a desktop computer. If you build it yourself with a web page program, do you have the knowledge to make a site that works on all of the different web browsers and mobile devices, and is friendly to search engines and social media? If you don't have those skills, working with a website company can be a lot better, faster, and more reliable than trying to hammer all of that out yourself using code in some app.

Extract closed captions from OTA HD broadcast for use with DVD SP?

Hi, I'm out of my league here, trying to do a favor for a deaf friend. He will appear on a national TV show, and I'd like to capture his appearance and (if possible) burn it to DVD.
Of course, being deaf, he needs to see the closed captions.
What I've done so far is buy Elgato's eyeTV Hybrid. I can successfully capture HD broadcasts with their embedded closed captions (wow, is that gorgeous!).
I can use the eyeTV software to recompress the audio and video for DVD SP, but the captions don't end up anywhere that I can tell.
Is there any way to extract the closed captioning information for use with DVD SP?
Thanks very much.

I don't think FCP will ever have captioning tools, due to it is a specilized area of post production and third party companies have developed captioning software that addresses this area.
I use the only Mac captioning software, (Mac Caption, made by CPC) that runs on the Mac. The cost for the SD captioning version of Mac Caption retail cost $6,995 USD and the HD version is an additional $2000.00 USD. If your an educational institution, then the price is about half the list, (price can be negotiated with the company at the time of purchase.)
As you can see, this is about half the cost of the FCP suite and I really don't think that Apple will ever get into this area. Most production companies rely on captioning services. In our case, we are an educational facility and therefore must comply with ferderal law, so we caption everything we do, thus why we had to purchase our own software.
The software we use, can do what it is that you are seeking, it can read the caption data from a live video image an convert it to a .scc file, that can be then used in DVD authoring or tape production. It can also read the raster area of a 720x 486 video file and also convert the caption information to a .scc file, as well as creating subtitlilng .stl files for DVD's.
It can also do original captioning, as well as add a text track to QT streaming files, which is how you caption QT steraming files. You can even burn captions into the video image of a steaming file.
Again, most production facilities are going to have to rely on a captioning service, but because we have to caption everything, and most captioning services don't caption QT streaming files, this was another reason we had to purchase our own captioning software.

Best wireless router (apple or non-apple) for use with multiple Macs

What is the best wireless router, from any manufacturer, for use with 3-5 Macs? (in a reasonable price range... sub $150)
least problems
most reliable
strongest signal/best range
fewest drops
fewest reboots

The Apple Routers "just work".
I also have a linksys. It takes a good bit of knowledge and aggravation getting it set up, but once working it does fine.
If you plan to use your router to share a printer, hook to your stereo, etc. definitely stick with Apple. It will save you much grief.

[Oracle JDBC Driver]This driver is locked for use with embedded application

Hi
I installed Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8, and am trying to connect to my Oracle database using the attached tutorial code.
The code compiles fine, but I get the following error whenever I run the file: [Oracle JDBC Driver]This driver is locked for use with embedded application
I don't understand what is happening.
Using the Runtime navigation panel on the upper left of the IDE screen, I can right-click and connect to the database, and navigate database files, using the Oracle JDBC Driver that came with JSE8.
Name: Oracle Driver
Driver: com.sun.sql.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver
Database URL: jdbc:sun:oracle://JAZZPUP:1521;SID=REPO
If the driver is installed, and can be used to connect to a database by right-clicking on the database definition in the Runtime panel, why can't I connect to it just using java code in the IDE. I would expect both methods to work or to fail, not one of each using the same IDE.
Many thanks and take care,
Shayne

To summarize - the DataDirectDriver that is shipped with the IDE seems to be locked to be used inside the IDE only because of some licensing issues etc..
That's weird, I agree. I will raise a question on reasons for such a behavior.
The solution would be to use Oracle's own driver, that is distributed at no charge from their web site - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html

Third party encoding for use with iDVD?

Hello All,
I have been doing a little bit of research on this, but I think I need some answers from more experienced users.
Are there any third party apps that do a better quality job of encoding video for use with iDVD? I edit my videos in Final Cut Express and then I import to iDVD and while the quality is OK I wonder if I can get it to look better ( I use SD footage and I encode in Professional Quality).
Has anyone here used a third party app that does a better job? (faster and/or better image quality)
Thanks for your help.
Mike

Mike - Be sure and double-check over in the FCE forum to make sure you're using the best settings to make the jump from FCE to iDVD.
The Pro algorithm is supposed to be iDVD's best setting (for all production lengths), if you have a shorter production (under 60 min), try using Best Performance and see if that gives you anything better.
