Garageband/logic volume issue

ok so.... i basically finished the pre-production of my album and everything sounds absolutely fantastic.... through garageband and logic that is. when i export the song to itunes or my desktop, everything is very distorted. i understand that this is a volume issue. when i have "auto-normalize" on, everything sounds just the way it should but very quite. so, in an effort to make it louder, i turn off this option. the volume level returns to normal but everything is distorted. how can i fix this? can i have some examples of EQing, compression, and filtering? i am recording through a Lexicon lambda into my iMac 24 inch.

none of the tracks clip at all throughout the songs. ive messed around with all EQ settings and compression but it still sounds distorted when i export it. all im trying to do is export the song and the same quality it was at in garageband... if i out the song through logic or protools, will it help my problem?

  • Mavericks FileVault 2 Issue - Logical Volume Disappeared

    I have a drive out of a damaged, late 2011 MacBook Pro that was FV2 encrypted.  I have the password and key and used them to decrypt the drive to recover data.  This was done from Disk Utility and appeared to be successful until I rebooted.  This was done firewire connected to my 2011 MacBook Pro running Mavericks.  The end result is the drive appearing in RED/inaccessible in disk utility and in the running "diskutil cs list" shows the Logical Volume Group "offline" and the Physical Volume "online".  Oddly the Logical Volume itself is gone.  Below is some output from some diskutil commands:

    I'm having a similar problem with FireVault and a USB drive. I formatted and encrypted a USB drive using Disk Utility. I set the password and saved it on my home computer's keychain. Now I'm having problems with FV recognizing the password on other computers.
    This morning I mounted the drive and entered the PW with no problem on a computer. I ejected the disk and later remounted it on the same computer. When I was prompted to enter the password, FV paused and grayed out for about 30 sec then rejected the password. If I do the same thing and enter any other password, it is rejected immediately. Not sure what is going on. I've tried it on several computers and it does the same thing with the password.
    I can probably reset the password on my home computer, but worried this will be an ongoing issue. Any advice? Has anyone else encountered this?
    thanks

  • Disk Utility formats Hard Drives as Logical Volume Group

    I just replaced a hard drive which had died in my Mac Pro which has OS X 10.9.5. To format the new 3TB hard drive I went to Disk Utility. I used "Erase" in its fastest form and the drive was formatted with the Type: Logical Volume Group.
    I remember this was a problem a few years ago when I first put hard drives in this computer. I think it was considered a bug in the Disk Utility in OS X 10.8 that it would automatically format drives greater than 2 TB as Logical Volume Group. The solution for me was to restart the computer with my OS X 10.6 disk and use the Disk Utility in that to reformat the drive. I never really understood why Logical Volume Group was a problem but I just obeyed what the wise ones of the Internet had to say.
    So, now I am wondering if I should reformat my new Hard Drive as GUID using my OS X 10.6 optical disk again? If it was a bug in the Disk Utility of OS X 10.8 then why is it not fixed in the Disk Utility of OS X 10.9? Is there an actual problem with having disks format formatted as Logical Volume Group? Is this now just Apple's way of doing things?
    Thank you.

    You could do your reformat using your 10.6 DVD. That's a decision that's up to you.
    Not every bug in a previous OS gets fixed in a new OS.
    I don't believe CoreStorage (Logical Volume Group) causes any sort of issues. Whenever one encrypts their Macintosh HD, the format is converted to CoreStorage. Fusion Drives are using CoreStorage and now Yosemite converts portables (laptops) to CoreStorage during the install process. As far as Yosemite is concerned, Apple seems to have gone the route of CoreStorage for portables. Even during the Setup on a portable, FileVault is offered with the default of YES being checked. So, if a customer isn't paying attention and continues with the install, they could encrypt their drive without knowing to uncheck the default checkbox.
    Thank you for your reply.
    I have decided to reformat my new hard drive using my 10.6 disk. I like being able to split it up into more than one volume if need be.
    I understand that not every bug in a previous OS gets fixed, but this strikes me as being really a very large bug, so I think it would be good if Apple addressed it.
    It is useful to know about Yosemite's behaviour. When I upgrade to Yosemite I will be a bit more prepared. In fact my MacBook Pro has FileVault on with Mavericks so Yosemite won't change anything there.

  • 3TB Fusion & logical volume group

    I'm in the process of fully reinstalling Mavericks - erasing my internal drive and paring my system way down, to resolve some long lingering issues.
    Disk Utility shows the recovery partition as separate (I've booted from it) - but when I went to erase the default Macintosh HD partition I was unable to repartition it as a single partition - it was grayed out - and the TYPE was/is logical volume group - where I was expecting to see GUID.   All I could do at that point was ERASE... which I did - so it remains a logical volume group -
    I'm unsure if, because of the Fusion drive, this is how they come from Apple - or the previous owner messed with it and trouble could loom wth this setup.
    It's a Late 2012 iMac with stock 3TB Fusion Drive.
    I'm in the process of reinstalling Mavericks from the Recovery (Internet recovery I'm guessing since it's taking 2 hours).  I'm not near an Apple Store unfortunately though do have extended 3 year warranty.
    Is it OK to leave the main Macintosh HD as "logical volume group"?????

    Yes. That's the technical name for what Apple marketing refers to as a "Fusion Drive." Don't change it.

  • OSX Yosemite Logical Volume Group - FIX!

    Hey guys,
    For anyone wondering or concerned about why, when entering Disk Utility, the SSD name has been changed and you now see Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD below. The one above is listed as a Logical Volume Group with an "online" status while the one below that is your physical HDD (so normal as with previous OS's.
    I must note that I do not have any recovery partition when holding option when booting (after installing straight onto Mavericks, nor when making my own bootable copy).
    However, I did find a way to fix the Hard Drive name issue and revert it back to original format (I did find this fix online, and it has worked for me).
    I included pictures below as well.
    First one shows original Yosemite SSD name change (from Apple SSD to Macintosh HD with 18.9MB available)
    Second shows your normal HHD name unchanged.
    Go to Terminal and enter the following:
    diskutil cs list
    then you will see a bunch of volumes jump up
    enter: diskutil cs revert "UUID"
    under "UUID", enter the the Logical Volume code number without brackets.
    Do not copy and paste it from terminal into your new terminal line. Write it out.
    Hit enter and it will ask to reboot your Mac.
    Once, rebooted, your old SSD/HDD name with reappear as in Mavericks.
    My entire terminal line is shown in the picture attached.
    Either way (SSD name changed or reverted) did not changed how the system performed. Everything is running as it should.
    Final result shown in last picture!
    Hopefully this is just a bug that Apple will fix.
    Please ignore the DiskMaker drive (I was making a bootable copy on my external!!)

    Thanks for the tip. I see its a common trouble. But i stuck a problem that cannot be solved with this method cause i dont have revertable logic volume.
    SO i cannot install system now. There's  no visible disk any more.

  • Logical Volume Group.

    My 1TB SSD main drive on my MBP Retina volume has changed to Logical Volume Group and the Partition is named Logical Partition.  Now it works fine but was wondering why it has changed from Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  If I want to partition the drive, it is grayed out with no options.  I'm not pleased that I can't control my own drive.  Any answers?

    FileVault is not activated, although it was at one point.  I deleted the partition and...
    I believe that may have caused the problem when I attempted to load the operating system on a new partition from the drive.  I deleted it and thought I reformatted it to Mac OS Extended, but I had major issues because it was locked at one point.  Just recently, I restored to a TM backup which should have formatted the drive correctly but this is what I ended up with.  Like I said, the option is grayed out now.

  • 10g ASM on Logical Volumes vs. Raw devices and SAN Virtualization

    We are looking at setting up our standards for Oracle 10g non-rac systems. We are looking at the value of Oracle ASM in our environment.
    As per the official Oracle documentation, raw devices are preferred to using Logical Volumes when using ASM.
    From here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b15658/appa_aix.htm#sthr
    ef723
    "Note: Do not add logical volumes to Automatic Storage Management disk groups. Automatic Storage Management works best when you add raw disk devices to disk groups. If you are using Automatic Storage Management, then do not use LVM for striping. Automatic Storage Management implements striping and mirroring."
    Also, as per Metalink note 452924.1:
    "10) Avoid using a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) because an LVM would be redundant."
    The issue is: if we use raw disk devices presented to ASM, the disks don't show up as used in the unix/AIX system tools (i.e. smit, lspv, etc.). Hence, when looking for raw devices on the system to add to filesystems/volume groups/etc., it's highly possible that a UNIX admin will grab a raw device that is already in use by Oracle ASM.
    Additionally, we are using a an IBM DS8300 SAN with IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC) in front of it. Hence, we already have storage virtualization and I/O balancing at the SAN/hardware level.
    I'm looking for a little clarification to the following questions, as my understanding of their responses seem to confict:
    QUESTION #1: Can anyone clarify/provide additional detail as to why Logical volumes are not preferred when using Oracle ASM? Does the argument still hold in a SAN Virtualized environment?
    QUESTION #2: Does virtualization at the software level (ASM) make sense in our environment? As we already have I/O balancing provided at the hardware level via our SVC, what do we gain by adding yet another level of I/O balancing at the ASM level? Or as in the
    arguments the Oracle documentation makes against using Lvm, is this an unnecessary redundant striping (double-striped or in our case triple-striped/plaid)?
    QUESTION #3: So does SAN Virtualization conflict or compliment the virtualization provided by ASM?

    After more research/discussions/SR's, I've come to the following conclusion.
    Basically, in an intelligent storage environment (i.e. SVC), you're not getting a 100% bang for the buck by using ASM. Which is the cat's meow in a commodity hardware/unintelligent storage environment.
    Using ASM in a SVC environment potentially wastes CPU cycles having ASM balance i/o that is already balanced on the backend (sure if you shuffle a deck of cards that are already shuffled you're not doing any harm, but if they're already shuffled - then why are you shuffling them again??).
    That being said, there may still be some value for using ASM from the standpoint of storage management for multiple instances on a server. For example, one could better minimize space wastage by being able to share a "pool" of storage between mulitiple instances, rather than having to manage space on an instance-by-instance (or filesystem by filesystem) level.
    Also, in the case of having a unfriendly OS where one is unable to dynamically grow a filesystem (i.e. database outage required), there would be a definite benefit provided by ASM in being able to dynamically allocate disks to the "pool". Of course, with most higher-end end systems, dynamic filesystem growth is pretty much a given.
    In the case of RAC, regardless of the backend, ASM with raw is a no-brainer.
    In the case of a standalone instance, it's a judgement call. My vote in the case of intelligent storage where one could dynamically grow filesystems, would be to keep ASM out of the picture.
    Your vote may be different....just make sure you're putting in a solution to a problem and not a solution that's looking for a problem(s).
    And there's the whole culture of IT thing as well (i.e. do your storage guys know what you're doing and vice versa).....which can destroy any technological solution, regardless of how great it is.

  • Logical volume activation during bootup shows "Maps lock" errors

    this started happening sometime after the creation of two lvm snapshots (including 1 root volume snapshot which, as i have since read, may be an issue) but this has never happened to me before in conjunction with snapshotting.  the following outputs before the system successfully finishes booting:

  • How does logical volume helps in performance in AIX..Should have posted IBM

    We are setting up a new DB server and the disks are in RAID5 config,Does putting data and index in different logical volumes helps in performance

    (I hope I'm not falling for April Fools joke here...)
    Hi Maran,
    As someone already answered, if both volumes are striped against all available disks, you can put everything in one volume and expect equal or better performance.
    However, I want to warn you from optimizing the disk structure without knowing that your database will really bottleneck on disk access to index and data blocks. My storage manager and I wasted countless hours with such optimizations before realizing that we are wasting our time because the application code contains so many functions that disk IO is not even close to being an issue.

  • [solved] Filesystem check fail - Cannot access LVM Logical Volumes

    I am getting a "File System Check Failed"on startup, I recently did a full system upgrade but I'm not entirely sure that the cause of the issue as I don't reboot very often.
    I get the error right before this line is echo'ed out:
    /dev/mapper/Arch_LVM-Root:
    The super block could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem...
    this is odd because the only ext2 filesystem I have is on an non-LVM boot partition...
    I can log-in and mount / as read/write and I can activate LVM with
    modprobe dm-mod
    and
    vgchange -ay Arch_LVM
    and they show up in lvdisplay but their status is "NOT available"
    I just need to mount these logical volumes so I can retrieve some personal data in my home directory, I am also hesitant to use LVM again if I can't retrieve my data.
    any suggestions?
    Last edited by action_owl (2010-08-15 02:15:58)

    I just popped in the install disk and was able to mount and access the LVM groups as expected, something must have been wonky with my filesystem

  • Unable to delete the core storage logical volume

    So I get the grey loading bar on the apple logo screen on bootup that get's to the end and then my iMac turns off. This happens everytime. I went into disk utility (CMD-R) and tried to format the partition and get the error message: Unable to delete the core storage logical volume - I should also mention that the OS X partition is greyed out and is marked as having 0GB free (which is false) and I can't select that partition to do a fresh install of OS X on.
    I should mention that on my HDD I have a OS X partition and a bootcamp partitiion and this is the second time I have this issue. How can I fix my OS X partition without having reinstall bootcamp as I have 1TB of stuff on it.
    Any ideas?

    I have taken some screenshots of the error I get and the state of my HDD in Disk Utility. I did have a weird thing happen after trying to repair using single user mode, where I reopened disk utility and the partitions were NOT greyed out and displayed the correct info concerning space available etc, although after verifying it then reverted back to greyed out with no info.

  • Volume issues with GE60 Apache Pro-003

    I recently picked up the new GE60 Apache Pro notebook, and I've been running it for about a week now. I should of course mention that I also did a clean windows install after adding an SSD to the system (and now can't figure out how to add back that cool MSI panel that was there when I first got the system).
    Anyway, I've noticed that there seems to be volume issues with the system no matter WHAT kind of settings I tweak, or drivers I try to use. With all sliders up at maximum, the volume levels still never seem to surpass around 50% (from observing the volume gauges in the Windows Volume mixer panel). My previous notebook's speakers put out significantly higher volume, and was also able to put out far more power to my headphones (Audio Technica ATH-M50).
    Any possible ideas for the cause and solution to this problem? Thanks in advance, and let me know if there is anything else I need to mention.

    Quote from: darkhawk on 02-April-14, 20:44:14
    What are you using to gauge the '50%'? MP3's? Windows sounds? or what?
    Pretty much everything. Music, games, online videos... According to the volume mixer, the audio levels never seem to pass 50%. The grey bar bounces to the peak, but the green bar never seems to pass the 50% level. It's as if there's some sort of limiter in place I'm not aware of. And since I reformatted the notebook as soon as I got it, I was never able to see if the volume control worked correctly before the reformat.

  • Finding whole mapping from database file - filesystems - logical volume manager - logical partitions

    Hello,
    Trying to make reverse engeneering of database files and their physical carriers on logical partitions ( fdisk ).
    And not able to make whole path from filesystem down to partitions with intermediate logical volumes.
    1. select from dba_data_files ...
    2. df -k
    to get the listing of filesystems
    3. vgdisplay
    4. lvdisplay
    5. cat /proc/partitions
    6. fdisk /dev/sda -l
       fdisk /dev/sdb -l
    Problem I have is that not able to determine which partitions are consisten in logical volumes. And then which logical volumens are consisted in filesystem.
    Thank you for hint or direction.

    Hello Wadhah,
    Before start the discussion let me explain I am newcommer to Oracle Linux. My genetic with dba experience of Oracle is from IBM UNIX ( AIX 6.1 ) and Oracle 11gr2.
    First task is to get the complete picture of one database on Oracle Linux for future maintenance tasks and make database more flexible and
    preparing for more intense work:
    -adding datafiles,
    -optimize/replace archive redolog files on separated filesystem from ORACLE_BASE
    - separating auditing log files from $ORACLE_BASE to own filesystem
    - separating diag directory on separated file system ( logging, tracing )
    - adding/enlarging TEMP ts
    - adding/enlarging undo
    - enlarging redo for higher transaction rate ( to reduce number of switched per time perceived in alert_SID.log )
    - adding online redo and control files mirrors
    So in this context try to inspect content of the disk space from the highest logical level in V$, DBA views down to fdisk partitions.
    The idea was to go in these steps:
    1. select paths of present online redo groups, datafiles, controlfiles, temp, undo
       from V$, dba views
    2. For the paths got from the step 1
       locate filesystems and for those filesystems inspect which are on logical volumens and which are directly on partitions.
    3. For all used logical volumes locate the logical partitions and their disks /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, ...
