How do you activate surround sound recording?

I haven't had the need to use surround sound recording yet, but see that it's a feature of Logic Express (and up to 7.1) ... but I can't find it. Do I need to activate it somewhere first? In the manual, 'Surround' appears in the channel strip setting menu, but I don't get that ...what am I missing? Where do I find it?

a-ha! I new I wasn't going crazy!
go to http://www.apple.com/au/logicexpress/what-is.html
and down the page on the left, with a pic of the Surround Panner is:
"Mix in surround.
Logic Express offers end-to-end surround capabilities, so you can record, edit, mix and encode projects in surround up to 7.1. Graphic surround panning lets you precisely position audio in a Quad, LCRS, 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 surround field. Surround support includes multichannel signal routing and you can submix surround tracks or use sends to route audio to surround auxiliary tracks."
...so my question remains open

How do you do surround sound audio then?

Ok heres the basic outline.
Using Audition (was made in v1.5, now I have v2.0) I created a 5.1 mix of a music track.
I also have a video file with no sound (an .avi file at 720x576 and 25fps)
I would like to tie them together and end up with a DVD-Video that plays the video with the sound track in 5.1.
Is it possible? and are there ANY tutorials on this? Encore (v2.0) boasts that you can do this, but I can't find any documentation on how to do it.
Please help a beginner!
Thank you in advance

>Addon?? how to I get a DTS addon for Premiere Pro?
Sorry about the wrong word there - by "addon" I meant that Encore does not have any built-in DTS encoders, and neither does Premiere Pro.
There are 3 companies selling DTS encoders that I know of:
1 - Minnetonka Audio, specifically the SurCode section. see http://www.surcode.com/ and look for the SurCode DTS-DVD encoder. This is at the moment half-price at $500. Expensive, when you consider the following options but still the cheapest way to get DTS Audio.
2 - Steinberg - they sell a plug-in DTS encoder for their Nuendo & Cubase systems. NOT cheap, currently around $1500.
3 - DTS themselves, or their licensed dealers. Current shipping encoder is the DTS-PSE, which can handle not only core DTS, but also the DTS-ES (both discrete & Matrixed for 6.1) as well as DTS 96/24. All these streams are DVD Legal.
The new series of encoders is due out any time now. I have been using one for a frew months, and it is even better - the DTS-HD SAS will give you every possible stream except DTS-HD MAS (Lossless and High Resolution - more in a minute) for all types of disc including DVD, HD DVD and Blu Ray. It's around $800.
The flagship encoder, DTS-HD MAS will be around $1500 or so, and will be complete including decoders & stream players as well as tools to stitch up the new streams. DTS-HD MAS is lossless, with nothing thrown away. DTS-HD High Resolution will still be up to 24/96, in 7.1, but at up to double the current highest bitrate permissible in DVD-Video of 1509Kb/sec.
Downside is these newer extensions are not supported in DVD-Video at all, and only the top of the range Authoring systems for Blu Ray & HD DVD will support this. The Noddy & Big Ears edition of DVDit has no DTS support at all despite it being the only high quality Multichannel format actually mandated across both HD DVD & Blu Ray. Go figure.
Legality.
In SD DVD, DTS is considered an "optional" format. This means in the real world that no DVD player is actually required to be capable of handling a DTS stream. In reality, some will but most still won't. In those that will there are 2 possibilities:
1 - Internal decoding
2 - "Passthrough" mode (IE outputting the unprocessed bitstream for external decoding in an amplifier).
The latter is the best option. If decoding internally, chances are high you must then use a 6 channel analogue output from the back of the player, or else it will decode to a stereo stream by employing internal downmixing.
When a player can output the raw bitstream, this is better as it allows the amp to decode, which it will always do at the best possible quality it can. This is important, as it gets to the er, "core" of the DTS system (Joke there for those who understand DTS!)
DTS uses a 24/48 Core stream, with everything else as extensions to the core. So, if the stream is a 24/96 resolution 6.1 DTS-ES, this is allowable as the extended frequency response & the extra channels are in the extensions, leaving the original core alone. This allows legacy equipment to still decode, and ensures that all amps/decoders use the best they can.
Trouble with being optional is this:
i you cannot legally create a DVD-Video disc with just DTS audio. It will be out of spec.
Discs MUST contain either LPCM or Dolby Digital as Audio Stream 1.

Why do I use condition indexes? How do you activate them?

Hi all
Why do I use condition indexes? How do you activate them?
thanks all

You can create and use condition indices. You can use these indices to display, change and create condition records with reference. This transaction can include condition records with several condition types and tables. For example, you can use a condition index if you want to see all condition records that apply to a particular product regardless of whether the records are prices or discounts. In this case, you can use one of the standard condition indexes. Or you may want to see a list of condition records that contain a particular sales deal and a material from a user-specified list of products. To display this information, you can create your own condition index.
Creating a condition index is similar to creating a condition table. In Customizing for Sales, you select the combination of fields that you want in the index key. The system automatically proposes a list of permitted fields to choose from. The fields you specify for the key can have a maximum combined length of 100 characters.
The activation function displays a list of all available condition indexes and indicates which are active. The system can use a condition index only when it is activated. Before you can use the indexes that are delivered in the standard version, you must first activate them in Customizing for Sales. Some indices are activated automatically during generation. In addition, you must specify one of the following index updating requirements for each condition index:
Requirement 1: The index is updated when the user provides data for all fields in the index
Requirement 2: The index is updated when the user provides data for at least the first index field

Hello gail from Ajijic,
If you'd like to change the audio output of your Mac, you can do so by accessing the Sound preferences in your System Preferences.
Before you start, open the Output pane of Sound preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, then click Output).
Choose a sound output device
From the list of sound output devices, select the one you want to use. All sound output devices available to your Mac are listed, including the computer’s internal speakers, devices plugged into your computer’s sound port (), USB speakers, and AirPlay devices.

How do you move a sound clip in the timeline?

I have not had this problem before. I have put many songs into the timeline, and repositioned them. Today I pulled up a project and attempted to reposition a song to fit in better with the clip, and I'm unable to do so. I can't select the song, or anything else. Obviously I have set or locked up this track, and I can't figure out how to unlock if that is what I have done. I have 6 songs on that track, Audio track 2, and I can't reposition any of them. I can't even remove them from that track. What am I doing wrong?

Hunt, most of my music files, over 9000 songs, are mostly mp3 files and a few are wma, and because of copyright laws I wouldn't use them in a commercial project I'm working on anyway. When I am working on a project for a client I will generally use higher quality WAV files. This project was being done just to learn some new techniques, gain some more experience with PPCS4, and expand my knowledge with the program. I have this huge number of music files and styles to work with, so I can do a great deal of experimentation to see what different songs can do to the mood of the video.
As a test, I did put the exact same songs into the timeline on a different audio track. The problem track is audio 2, and I duplicated those songs on audio 3. I did the exact same editing. I faded them in and out the same as before. Split one song into 3 sections had parts of it come in and out over a video section of 9 minutes duration. They are working perfectly. I was just working on one section of that project a half hour ago, and I was still able to select and move each of the four songs on that track any way that I wanted to. However, the track just above it in that same timeline, Track 2, is still frozen.
Hunt, just a moment ago I solved my problem. Still not being that familiar with the program, two days ago I know that I was playing with all of the controls, and I obviously hit one of them without knowing one of its side effects. I hit the show "show track keyframes". I'm sure that you know it, but I didn't realize that when that function is selected, you can't do much else with the track but play with those keyframe. Even though I didn't have the track locked, in the traditional way, it was still, for all practicall reasons, locked. I unchecked that function and now everything is back to normal again on that track.
Something very simple, as many things turn out to be when you understand it. However, maybe someone else will make the same mistake, and my posting here will help them.
I will use your suggestions for using .WAV files. Thank you again.

Terry,
What is the purpose of using the .WMA files? I'm sure that you have a good reason, but they can be problematic, at best. I only use them as a trasfer medium, when I need to get a DD 5.1 SS soundtrack into Audition for editing. There, I break them out into 6 discrete .WAV files, edit in Multi-track Mode and then usually Export as the 6 discrete WAV's to be encoded to DTS, or similar.
If you do not have a compelling reason for using the .WMA, try PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit and see if the issues go away.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes please,
Hunt

How do you set a pre-recorded message to play when a caller calls your iPhone before you pick up?

How do you set a pre-recorded message to play when a caller calls your iPhone before you pick up? My office is trying to use an iPhone for our business, and we want to give a brief introductory message that the caller will hear, before we pick up the line. Are there ay apps for this? Thanks!

There is no setting for that on the phone. Some carriers provide ringback tones, which play instead of the caller hearing a ring. But I am not aware of an app that would play a message prior to you picking up the phone. The amount of time before you pick up is not a constant, and if it lasts too long, then the call would go to voicemail.

How do you return back one record from a NamingEnumeration

how do you return back one record from a For Loop issue
Posted: Jan 4, 2007 9:13 AM Reply
I have the following piece of code and i want to be able to just return one item...
that is return e.next(); but this line doesnt work for below what is wrong
if (attrs == null) {
System.out.println("No attributes");
} else {
/* Print each attribute */
for (NamingEnumeration ae = attrs.getAll();
ae.hasMore();) {
Attribute attr = (Attribute)ae.next();
System.out.println("attribute: " + attr);
/* print each value */
for (NamingEnumeration e = attr.getAll();
e.hasMore();){
System.out.println("value:- " + e.next()));
return e.next();
}

At the end of the loop, the NamingEnumeration has no more elements. You need to call getAll() again.
By the way, please use code tags (above the posting box). You've been here long enough to know that (judging by your registration date).

TS1292 How do you activate an itunes card

How do you activate an itunes card

If you mean that the card is being reported as not being properly activated when you go to redeem it, what you normally should do is go back the retailer from whom you purchased the card and discuss the problem with them. They should either correctly activate the card or give you a new one. If they refuse to help, as some retailers do, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They will ask for a scan of the front and back sides of the card as well as a copy of the receipt
Regards.
