How can I get the metronome to click dotted-quarters in 6/8?

When I go from 4/4 to 6/8 the metronome goes hyper (clicks 8ths)
This is annoying. How can I get the metronome to lay back and click dotted-quarters instead?
-Thanks

Working in 3/4 is not a realistic alternative to working in 6/8. Fundamentally, 3/4 and 6/8 are not the same thing at all. Basic music theory 101, yes?
If you want to work with a dot-quarter click, set your time sig to 6/8 as you normally would. Then create your own click track by assigning the Klopfgeist to a track and recording (or penciling in) two dot quarters. One measure will do. Quantize and loop that region. You're done!
\[EDIT] You might want to play around with the pitches and velocities of those two notes, but once you learn which notes (and velocities) sound best you're totally good to go.
This technique (creating your own custom click track) is also useful if you wanted to work in 6/8 but alternate between 6/8 and 3/4 feel. There's an traditional Argentine rhythm (Chacarera) that uses this (thanks Jordito for the reminder of what it's called). There are other examples as well. Anyway, 6/8 is not 2/4 or 3/4. It's 6/8, just like 12/8 is not 4/4, and 9/8 isn't 3/4. My main point is that you shouldn't have to compromise in terms of editing on the grid or anything else just because Logic doesn't give you the click you need out-of-the-box. Work MUSICALLY and get Logic to bend to your will by using the technique above. Or, the one below!

  • How can I get the sounds , like clicking,etc to work on iPad 2 with IOS 5. In the settings all sounds are on and the volume is high but I don't get a sound.

    After downloading IOS 5, I no longer get the sounds on my IPAD 2 to work. They are on in settings and the volume is at maximum, but the sounds such as keyboard click, email sent etc, donor work.
    Any suggestions.
    Regards

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • How can I get the link I click on to open automatically in a new tab? Thank you

    I am sure that the old version of Firefox, you could click on a link and it would open in another tab, I have looked at Google as well, and I can't see if it was a google option.
    Any help appreicated, I expect I am missing the obvious!

    You can use an extension:

  • How can I get the container of a button after the button is clicked?

    I have two components:
    public class A extends JPanel implements ActionListener {
        public A() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            String command = e.getActionCommand();
            // here need to know the instance of B to execute it's process()
            // but I can only know the button jb in B via the following code:
            JButton myjb = (JButton)(e.getSource());
    public class B extends JPanel {
        public ContainerInfoInput(ActionListener al) {
            JButton jb = new JButton("OK");

        A a = new A();
        B b = new B(a);
    }How can I get the instance of B in which the button is clicked?
    Thank you

    I think it's a defect of the listener mechanism. Under the present circumstance, I must do it like the following:
    I must use another class M as a bridge:
    class A {
        public A() { }   
        public processA (String info ){}
    class B{
        public B(ActionListener al) {       
            JButton jb = new JButton("OK");       
            jb.setActionCommand("B.ok");      
            jb.addActionListener(al);  
       public String processB () {    }
    class M implements ActionListener  {
        public M() {
            A a = new A();
            B b = new B(this);
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            String command = e.getActionCommand();
            if(command.equals("B.ok")) {
                String information =b.processB();
                a.processA(information);
    }Why not just use A to listen B and obtain instance of B through the ActionEvent?
    Anyone know a solution about it?

  • When I select a title in the iTunes Store and click on Play in iTunes I am sent to the download page for iTunes 10 which I have already. The selected title cannot be found anywhere in my iTunes. How can I get the title in iTunes with possibility to buy it

    When I select a title in the iTunes Store and click on Play in iTunes I am sent to the download page for iTunes 10 which I have already. The selected title cannot be found anywhere in my iTunes. How can I get the title in iTunes with possibility to buy it?

    The issue is that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside in order to purchase iTunes content.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location. You can use the iTunes Store in all countries of which you’re a resident, but you’ll either need a separate iTunes Store account for each one, or you’ll need to continually be switching the billing information on your single account. Generally, it’s simpler just to set up an alternative account for these situations, although it’s worth nothing that features like iTunes in the CLoud and iTunes Match are designed to work best when using a single iTunes Store account, as you can only switch accounts with these services every 90 days."

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
              f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
              f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
              f.setVisible( true );
         public static class MyListener  implements ActionListener{
              public MyListener() {}
              public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
                   System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
                   // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
    }The output of the code is something like this:
    hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
    border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
    flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
    disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
    right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
    rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
    I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
    Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

    System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
    In a real-world application, no.
    In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
    In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
    All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
    Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

  • How can I get the selected rows from two ALV grids at the same time?

    I have a program that uses two ALV grids in one dialog screen. I'm using the OO ALV model (SALV* classes).
    The user can select any number of rows from each grid. Then, when a toolbar pushbutton is pressed, I'd have to retrieve the selected rows from both grids and start some processing with these rows.
    It is no problem to assign event handlers to both grids, and use the CL_SALV_TABLE->GET_SELECTIONS and CL_SALV_SELECTIONS->GET_SELECTED_ROWS methods to find out which rows were marked by the user. Trouble is, this only works when I raise an event in each grid separately, for instance via an own function that I added to the grid's toolbar. So, I can only see the selected rows of the same grid where such an event was raised.
    If I try to do this in the PBO of the dialog screen (that contains the two grids), the result of CL_SALV_SELECTIONS->GET_SELECTED_ROWS will be empty, as the program does not recognize the marked entries in the grids. Also, an event for grid1 does not see the selected rows from grid2 either.
    As it is right now, I can have an own button in both grid's toolbar, select the rows, click on the extra button in each grid (this will tell me what entries were selected per grid). Then, I'd have to click on a third button (the one in the dialog screen's toolbar), and process the selected rows from both grids.
    How can I select the rows, then click on just one button, and process the marked entries from both grids?
    Is it somehow possible to raise an event belonging to each grid programmatically, so that then the corresponding CL_SALV_SELECTIONS->GET_SELECTED_ROWS will work?
    Thanks.

    is it possible to  have a check box in each grid  & get the selected lines in PAI of the screen ?

  • Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I downloaded some albums using my iphone, i then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has gone from the songs i downloaded on my iphone, but not on the itunes on the pc. How can i get the artwork back on my iphone?

    I downloaded some albums using my iphone (3GS), I then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has disappeared off my iphone but not off itunes on the PC. How can I get the album artwork back onto my iphone?

    I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks).  Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window.  I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box.  When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window.  It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.
