General problem with EXS Drums

Hey Guys,
For the most part I have been satisfied with the midi library that comes with Logic. However, the drums are just really weak sounding - all of them. The 'acoustic drums' are obviously live samples, but they're so flat and dull. They lack presence. The only way I've been able to make any of the drums sound the way I want is to run them through a drumkit compressor and even through the Bass Amp simulator. When I do this the level shoots up into the red 6+. Although it sounds good at this level - I know I can't have it clipping like that. So when I back it down so its not clipping, it always returns to that flat, lifeless sound that I can't do anything with. How can I get the drum sounds I'm looking for? How do I get that beefy knocking bass drum and that clattering snare that I only seem to find in the red zone? Can anyone help.

Maybe what you want is a little distortion? I mean if you like it when it's clipping. Try some different guitar amps instead of the bass amp or the distortion effects. People that use Reason run just about everything through the Scream distortion, sometimes even entire mixes, just to 'liven' things up a bit.

    Hi,
    I had HUGE issues with a BlueAnt Q2 on the 4, and after five exchanges, I had to get rid of the phone becuase the Apple store admited that they had "some bluetooth issues."
    I still have the Q2, and I was wondering the same thing becuase I realy want an iphone.

  • What is the general problem with this OriginLab VI?

    I'd like to use some VIs provided by OriginLab for their graphing and analysis software.  They apparently haven't updated their VIs since Labview version 8.5  The attached screenshot is an example of the general problem I'm seeing in their VIs.  If I hover over the property nodes, the Labview context help gives the error "This property is not valid for this class."  It looks to me like these are Origin classes and Origin properties, so I'm surprised by that error.
    Any idea about the reason for this problem?  I'd like to explain it to them in a little more detail and try to motivate them to fix it.  Still, I doubt it will happen soon.  Any suggestions about whether it's something I could fix myself?
    Thanks!

    The activeX interface might be inside a *.ocx, *.dll and even a *.exe file. So manually browsing and trying files with these endings might work. You could even try a text search with a hex editor to identify possible ActiveX components, you should find the keywords IDispatch and IUnknown in them.
    The proper way would be when they show up in the list. This actually is derived from some registry keys (I think it was a bit cryptic to track in the registry, as it involved searching for CLSID or the like). Proper registration is done by command line regsrv32 (if memory serves right). Normally this is automatically called from the installer.
    So it might be the best you just try to reinstall Origin.
    Also search the Origin folder if there are some other examples included there (and if they work).

  • General Problems with iMac 9,1 's

    There seems to be a disturbing trend as of the last two OS releases, Mavericks and Yosemite, and it involves a lot of iMac 9.1's.  You see a lot of reports of sudden shutdowns, kernel panics, graphics issues, Safari crashes, Messages woes...and the list goes on.  I have an early 2009 iMac 9,1 with 8GB RAM and an nVidia 130gt 512 Mb.  With the release of Mavericks 10.9.4, I started getting the Sudden Shutdown Syndrome (machine powers down with no warning, like the power cord was pulled).  After doing the required switching of power cables, using different RAM, switching of UPS's, opening the computer to clean it, etc..., I thought it might be a problem with either the power supply unit, the graphics card, or the logic board.  Unfortunately, I'm overseas in a country that doesn't have an Apple Store so an easy repair option isn't available to me.
    Pressing forward, I noticed that I didn't get any crashes or shutdowns in Safe Mode.  Granted, only subset of the extensions are loaded, but if it was a flaky PSU or logic board, it would seem that it would show something at some point.  And, the thing about graphics cards is that when they go bad, they start to leave artifacts and pixilate, and that wasn't happening in full boot or safe mode.  I also noticed that in full boot mode, I could repeat certain actions that would cause a shutdown 100% of the time.  I have also read reports where people had the logic board, graphics, and/or PSU changed out, the problem went away for a bit, then came back!
    I'm now thinking that this is a software conflict that specifically affects iMac 9,1's and Macs of similar architectures.  I'm fairly convinced of this because when I entered the Yosemite Public Beta Program (I was desperate to get a fix), I noticed that with each release, certain actions that would cause 100% failure/shutdown were gone, while others remained.  When I installed Public Beta 5, and did a cache cleanup...MY SHUTDOWN PROBLEM WAS GONE! All the actions that used to crash the machine didn't work anymore.  If it was a hardware problem, it would seem like the shutdown problem would still be present.
    But, alas, mine is still a tale of woe.  When I installed Public Beta 6, THE SHUTDOWNS RETURNED!  When I looked at the release notes, it mentioned unspecified driver changes.  Hmmmmmmm.  Unfortunately, Public Beta 6 was the GM so when I downloaded the Yosemite Final Release, nothing changed...same old crashes.
    So, what do I think is happening?  I'd bet my bottom dollar that the problem lies in the interaction between the GeForceTesla driver, the kexts which control the power management of the graphics cards, and the system/user cache files.  I think if Apple investigated those areas, a solution may be found.  Also, I wish they would go back to Public Beta 5 and see why that release was so stable for iMac 9,1's (at least for mine anyway).
    However, if anyone else has any insight to these problems, I'd love to hear it.
    As a side note, Safari (along with my system) crashes frequently while Google Chrome Canary 64-bit is as solid as a rock.  And, again, I experience no crashes in Safe Mode, even with using Safari.

    I have an iMac9.1 24" and had no issues in Mavericks and have no issues at all in Yosemite. So it seems to rule out hardware-problems.

  • General problems with iMac displays

    Why is it about iMacs that has these pseudo "burn-in" issue with their displays?
    Is this due to cheap component (LG panels)?
    Or is this some scheme by Apple to make people pay?
    Or both?
    I am a proud mac (for that I have insulted enough PC and Linux sinners), but during the day I am forced to be a PC at work. But I have NEVER EVER seen any image persistence on any make/model of 3rd party LCD monitors before. My iMac is currently connected to a Samsung LCD monitor, and when my "dangle" a window (say Safari) between 2 monitors and leave both screens ON for 5 hours, my iMac monitor gets the "burn-in", but the Samsung doesn't.
    Maybe 5 hours is a bit extreme, but I am starting to see faint "gridlines" showing up on my screen after I had my Excel open for more than 40 minutes.
    What gives?

    You are not alone with regards to this issue with the screen.

    Apple does not seem to want to acknowledge that this is a problem and will probably tell you that the issues are "environmental" and do not see any problem with it.
    I have a similar set up with a Samsung monitor connected and have not issue with the Samsung.

  • General problems with iMovie '09

    Hello,
    I am a big fan of the programme iMovie, but have been encountering some serious problems with it recently. Any help would be much appreciated.
    I originally had iMovie '08, which I was quite happy using, until one of the automatic updates left it unusable: when loading the programme, the spinning timer in the viewer screen would stay there indefinitely, and trying to play any clips in the viewer resulted in either a blank or a scrambled a screen.
    I remedied this by reinstalling my entire iLife '08 and using the most basic version of iMovie - not acceoting any of the automatic upgrades - and it seemed to work fine.
    However, I upgraded to the Leopard OS recently and had to upgrade iMovie accordingly so that Leopard would run. This left iMovie in a state where I could only import certain video files (mostly .mov, I believe).
    So I went and bought iLife '09, thinking that any problems would be sorted out on the updated iMovie. They are not - I am still only able to import .mov files, so I bought myself a file converter and have spent the last week converting all the movie files I want to work with into .mov - a very long-winded process.
    Now I'm finding that, although I can import these .mov files fine, once I drag them to the project editor, they stall and crash, and I can't edit them at all.
    Does this sound like a simple problem to solve? I do love using iMovie, but these recent problems have meant that I have wasted a lot of time and money trying to sort something out that doesn't ever seem to work.
    As I said, I would be extreme,ly grateful for any help, because this is causing me an enormous amount of frustration, lost time and wasted money.
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    Thank you very much for getting back to me. I have to confess a certain amount of ignorance to some of these types of things! I'll just quickly explain what my situation is now and if you can help me out I would be very grateful (and happy).
    Basically, most of the files I want to import into iMovie are .avi. When I look at the Inspector, they are listed as either "DivX 5.0" or "Generic MPEG-4". I have a lot of files, so there may be some other formats, but when importing clips to iMovie, the icons for the "DivX 5.0" files appear faded and cannot be selected (wrong codec) and the icons for the "Generic MPEG-4" files appear dark and can be selected (compatible codec). However, if I try to import any of the "Generic MPEG-4" ones, the time bar that says "optimizing video" appears for less than a second, disappears and then the spinning timer icon appears for a second before disappearing, without the clip having been imported.
    What I did therefore was to use a converter to convert my files into .mov. Now my problem is that when I import clips, they do import and appear in the Event Library, but when I transfer them across to the editor, and spool through the clip with my mouse cursor, the screen remains blank... in fact sometimes the screen disappears completely, leaving just a grey background. This seems to be my main problem now, since importing videos is now possible.
    Do you have any suggestions for what is causing the clips to be uneditable?
    Do you have any suggestion for how I can simply change the codec of my original clips so that they can be imported successfully?
    Thank you again for your help. I hope I explained the problems I"m experiencing well enough to understand - I'm not very literate with the more technical aspects of file formats and so on.
    Thanks!

  • General problems with Nokia E72-1

    Hey there,
    I've got a couple of problems with my Nokia E72.
    1 - GPS via Ovi Maps. I have to wait like 10-20 minutes even although I use aGPS to get a fix (to get the GPS signal)... And even tho I've got polish lector voice in the navigation installed it doesnt work. There are only two communicates working: "Now get off the roundabout" or "You will reach the destination". Why? I checked twice, I've got properly installed and choosen polish voice and polish maps.
    2 - Random phone freeze. My phone freezes randomly. From time to time when I check the mobile, I notice its frozen. I can't perform any action, except getting battery out...
    3 - Random message sounds getting disabled. It happened 5 minutes ago, it's the first time it happened. I get SMS, the screen is lighting and lighting all the time, until I read it. I checked the profile twice, I even setted the sound again, but it still doesn't work. I had to get battery out and reset the phone to make it work again.
    Why are those problems? What should I do with it?
    My soft - 052.005
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1 - GPS: Other people have complained about this, too, and there may not be a simple answer.  For me, I have been more careful where I hold my E73 (so as to not block the internal antenna) and the problem seems much less common.
    1 - Polish Voice Navigation: Where are your map and voice files stored?  Look in \cities\diskcache\voices for a "polish_f" directory and the contents should look like this
    polish_f/:

    If you are missing files, try deleting the entire contents of "voices" and downloading the navigation files again.  Even if all files appear present, you might try this anyway.  (Note: I don't think there is another way to refresh the voice files, but I haven't actually tried this myself.)
    2. This is a hard question to answer, as a freeze could be caused by anything.  But what is your phone doing when not in active use?  Downloading email?  Downloading podcasts?  Do you keep an IM or a Facebook program running?  My first guess is that one of these programs is causing the crash.  Try shutting things off, or factory reset the phone and install/setup each of these programs, one at a time, and install the next one only after a day or two has passed with no crashes.
    3. Other people have complained about this, too.  I don't currently have this problem, but please see this thread: /t5/Eseries-and-Communicators/E72-No-tone-vibration-upon-receiving-SMS/td-p/660837/highlight/true .
    I hope that helps!

  • Strange problems with EXS!!??

    Hello!
    I´m confused!
    I loaded effect-sounds (aiff) from the CD to the Sample Folder.
    Then I opened Logic and EXS.
    I made a new Sample Instrument with those new sounds.
    Everything went well and sounded good.
    I saved everything.
    Then I closed Logic and opened it again.
    I started to play with the new EXS instrument I had just made,
    and everything was VERY DISTORTED!
    I tried lot of things and found out,
    that if used any old sounds within the instrument,
    they would NOT DISTORT.
    Did I do something wrong? What?
    Regards,
    Hexa
    Powerbook 1.67 G   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   Logic 7.1.1

    Actually, this is unusable, I can't do any work until I've sorted this. Anyone have any ideas? I depend on the EXS for triggering SFX samples, every so often, for no apparent reason a sample will corrupt. I can correct the problem by following the proceedure I mentioned in my previous post, but I have to remember to note not only the sample name, but any custom settings such as level, pitch, start point, etc. that I have altered first.
    My system is only a couple of months old, I've only loaded Logic Pro and my Powercore plugins onto it, plus Audiofinder.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • General problems with BT Vision's current approach...

    Firstly, in case anyone doesn't know where I'm coming from, I really enjoy the BT Vision service. I've got just the TV Package and I think that represents fantastic VFM. But it's not without (some serious) niggles, most of which I think BT need to take the time to think about because they should be within their power to correct and unresolved they will put some folk off the service and they'll go elsewhere.
    Limitated library availability. The "Box Sets" are great from old stuff like Buffy to new True Blood and Lost. But it's frustrating that you can't keep them on the servers permanently. It's simply not good enough to be told that you have until a certain date to watch an entire series. Also, the WB approach of drip feeding VOD to me just takes away the whole On Demand point of VOD. And it's frustrating to have gaps, where you have series 3 and 4 but not 1 and 2. You have new customers joining all the time, and it's frustrating to not start from the start, especially when you see the new stuff time out and disappear.
    Get the information right and the episodes in the correct order with no gaps. Time and time again this has been wrong and there's no excuse for it. It really spoils things. Get it right.
    Finding the content. It's all over the place, and takes many selections to navigate your way back to a series you're watching (and often the route changes). I'd like to see a configurable favourites menu, preferably with some way of ticking off the episodes that you've watched. Also, it would be very handy if you numbered the episodes so that they appear in the correct order in the search menu, this means numbering the single digit episodes as 01, 02 so that the search doesn't present you with 1, 10, 11, ..., 2, 20, ...
    I understand that the first issue is a problem. You have contract deals with the media owner and you have limitations on storage space. But you need to think long and hard about what it is that you're trying to provide to your customers. There are surely some series that you know (and can check) will always pull an audience (Lost, Desperate Housewives, Friends, Doctor Who) so you should consider having these permanently available. I was compelled to watch several series (Lost, Buffy) faster than I wanted to because it was going away. Unfortunately I've kept up the pace and now I've watched all of Buffy and I'm eager for more and considering going out and buying the box set and then being able to enjoy it at the pace I want to. Maybe that's what the media owner would like to happen, but it leaves me struggling to justify having BT Vision as well.

    I agree with you about the way series' are added. A while back I started watching 'Charley Boorman - By Any Means. BT put up the first 3 episodes but as yet haven't put up any more, leaving viewers wondering about his return journey from Australia.

  • General problem with preloaders

    Hallo there, i am using a preloader from an external file, that when the main animation loads, it displays it, clasicaly. the problem i encounter is this. when the animation loads, it doesn't start from frame 1, but instead from frame 50, for example, if the animation takes 35 seconds to load, the animation then starts from the 35th second of its timeline.
    Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?
    Thanks people for your time
    Fanourios Sikakis

    as you know flash is STREAMED to the client, as soon as enough content has been loaded (normally the content on frame 1) it will start to play.
    The only thing you can do is:
    1) use the external preloader that tells the loaded swf to play when everything has been loaded, don't forget to add a stop action to the first frame of the loading swf.
    or
    2) use a preloader on the same swf and jump to frame 2 when everything has been loaded ( frame 2 would be your start frame.

  • General problems with Traffic info

    I purchased a 1 year license for trafic info Benelux + on nokia maps
    Each time traffic reports a congestion it interprets it as a problem in BOTH directions.
    Yesterday I was advised to take another route because of a 11 Km traffic jam which was on the other side of the road.
    Anyone experienced this as well?
