How do you make an audio region longer ? Is a region a container ?

i hav a sample of a kick drum, i repeat it 4 times to make a loop (classic house/techno kicck loop) .. now the samples are shorter than one beat so i have gaps in my loop .. i choose'Merge' to 'weld' them together, it asks me to create a new audio file .. but the resulting region stops fter the end of the last sample, so there is a whole until the end of the cycle, so i can't use the loop feature (cause when i do the next loop will start immediately after the last sample end .. so everyhthing is out of sync.
it seems i need to add some silence to the audio file at the end so that my region is exactly 1 bar long and i can loop it ...
can't i just create a region from the samples without having to resort to audio editing ... isn't a region just a container, like in cubase ?
thx for any help

yes, a region is just a container or a reference pointing at the original audio file.
However, this means the region cannot be longer than the original audio file.
What you want to do is set your locators from say bar 1 to bar 5 (for a four bar section), solo the track, and select File > Export or File > Bounce...
In the later, you can ask Logic to add the resulting file to the Audio Bin.
Now you will have your 4 bar loop.
Another way, would be to cut out a piece of empty audio. Copy it to the end of the beat to create a perfect 4 bar loop and merge the all the regions. Logic will mix down to a file.
Alternatively, if you want to repeat regions (instead of Looping them), select the region, and in the local menu select Region > Repeat regions.

How do you make MP3 audio files?

I'm running for public office, and a local newspaper invited candidates to submit statements, along with MP3 audio files for display on its website.
So how does one make an MP3 audio file? Is this something I can do with my MacBook Pro and Leopard alone, or do I need to obtain a special software program?
Thanks.

Hi David!
As Francine mentioned, you will want to use the audio production software that came with your Mac, called Garageband. This will let you record speech, and even layer in music, etc. And when everything is set as you like it, the sound file can be exported in a variety of formats. It will provide a great basic audio recording solution for strictly voice and talking, but you can take things one step further and layer in a music track as an intro or outro if desired for a little more flair, edit out mistakes, etc. A great program that comes right with your Mac. There are nice basic tutorials on the Apple website which give an introduction to Garageband. Good luck David!

Why can't you provide specific instructions here in HT203909 (Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD) about how to make the USB drive bootable? The article referenced for partitioning the drive is not dedicated to Bootcamp--too long, too many options. How do you make it bootable?

If your BC Assistant shows the option to create a USB Installer, it automatically is marked as bootable. There is no need to have manual intervention to make a bootable USB. Once the process is manually modified, it is supported by the person modifying it.
You have two or three options (depending on your Mac Model).
1. Create USB... - Use a USB2 flash drive, which is erased and formatted. If your Mac supports ISOs then BCA will prompt for the Media. Any Mac which does not have a built-in Optical drive will support an ISO. There are specific Mac models which support both, DVD and USB based installation.
2. Download Software from Apple servers...
3. Install Windows...
Are any additional instructions really necessary?

How do you make one long track into multiple tracks?

How do you make one long track in itunes into multiple tracks? Is there a way to do that?

I found another solution too through Garageband. I don't know if it was easier, but I liked this way of creating seperate tracks.
First, You put the long track into Garageband.
-then you create a New Basic Track under Track Tab-create as many of those as tracks you want to make
-also make sure the headphones button is lit up under each New Basic Track-this allows it to be a 'solo' track.
-then you can start cutting music-with the long strip find where you want to split into a new track and drag that half down into each New Basic Track.
-Once you are done, press Option Z and a purple little triangle will appear up by the measures. drag the triangle to the end of the first track-this allows it when sharing to itunes to just record the particular track you want, it puts a stop/end to that track.
-then, make sure the track you want to share is highlighted the bright orange and go to share, 'send to itunes'
-it will send that to itunes and you can rename it in itunes.
-Go back to Garageband-delete the first track you successfully shared and move the next one up to where that one was. Slide it accross to the left so it is at the beginning, press option Z and move the purple triangle where you want it to be...and you are good to repeat until all your tracks are done!
I am a very visual person, and this helped to see where I was cutting each track, just another way!

How do you move a track region in Garage Band to a new starting point without altering the existing length of the track?

How do you move a track region in Garage Band to a new starting point without altering the existing length of the track? Thanks.

What exactly are you trying to do? You can drag any region by grabbing it in the middle of the upper area with the highlighted name of the region. However, if you move it towards the end of the track, the length of the track will get longer, to accommodate the extra part of the region. DO you want to speed up the region, to shorten it or do you want to trim it? You can simply grab the right margin of the region and drag it, to make the region shorter.

How do you make superscripts and mathematics in Preview's text annotation?

When adding text annotations that include scientific notations, how do you make superscripts, e.g. "3.2 × 10^{-23}"?
Searching Help for 'superscript' turns up nothing, suggesting the command does not exist, as it does under Baseline etc. in iWork. Please tell me this is not the case! If it is, has the situation been improved in the new operating system?
A related issue: I wish to include other mathematics -- is there a way to include mathematics similar to LaTeX? Might Preview incorporate using latex code in the future, so I can easily type "\exp{-\lambda t}" etc and have the math appear?
I'm adding text annotations to PDF lecture notes in Preview, basically filling in blanks the instructor has left so students will pay attention in class, and these annotations include superscripts; I wish to format properly.
Thank you!

Once you have the circle shape displayed, long press on the border of the circle. Once it is highlighted, drag horizontally or vertically. This should allow you to distort the circle into an ellipse (or the square into a rectangle).
Hope that helps,

Try this:
1. Open "Finder", then navigate to "Movies" on the left side. Click on "iMovie Projects"
2. Move desired movies and clips to trash, or your flash drive.
*PS* Its dangerous to have a full hard drive, I would recommend either trashing, or transferring files to another computer. Trash applications you no longer use as well.

This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
There are NOT duplicate photos.
Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist, all photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
It is working exactly as it should.

How do you make html page resize to fit any browser

Hi All,
How do you make the html page resize to fit any browser/window both vert and horizontally.
Thanks!
Randy

Horizontally by using percentage width instead of pixels. This is called a liquid layout.

Vertical resizing is irrelevant in web design. Page content determines page height. The more content, the longer the page. The less content, the shorter the page. Scrollbars appear when needed.

Now my system actually has 2 michrophones attatched to it. At the moment I'm using DirectSoundCapture to record audio. My first question is, how do you detect multiple audio capture devices? and then of course, how can you record off of different audio capture devices?
Anything would be helpful, if theres a tutorial somewhere on this which i've missed somehow, please tell me. I'm probably missing something pretty major I figure.

I posted in a different thread that I was using the old javax.sound.sampled library to try to record. However, using this library it was quite simple to get a list of devices which could then be used to make a SourceDataLine that could be used to record. However, I was having trouble actually recording and switched to JMF as it has more features and I thought it would be simpler to use. It probably is but I have been struggling. I can record audio in JMF fine but I cant get a device list as I could with the javax.sound.sampled library.
I'll put the code I was working off in here anyway. It shows what I want to do, I just want to do it in JMF.
Note that this code was written 4 years ago by a Matthias Pfisterer and not by myself.
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFileFormat;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem;
import javax.sound.sampled.DataLine;
import javax.sound.sampled.Line;
import javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException;
import javax.sound.sampled.Mixer;
import javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine;
import javax.sound.sampled.TargetDataLine;
     /** List Mixers.
          Only Mixers that support either TargetDataLines or SourceDataLines
          are listed, depending on the value of bPlayback.
     public static void listMixersAndExit(boolean bPlayback)
          out("Available Mixers:");
          Mixer.Info[]     aInfos = AudioSystem.getMixerInfo();
          for (int i = 0; i < aInfos.length; i++)
               Mixer mixer = AudioSystem.getMixer(aInfos);
               Line.Info lineInfo = new Line.Info(bPlayback ?
                                        SourceDataLine.class :
                                        TargetDataLine.class);
               if (mixer.isLineSupported(lineInfo))
                    out(aInfos[i].getName());
          if (aInfos.length == 0)
               out("[No mixers available]");
          System.exit(0);
Calling this method on my system will print the following.
Available Mixers:
Microsoft Sound Mapper
AK5370
SoundMAX Digital Audio
AK5370 (2)
This looks very different to what I get when I call CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList()

How do you make ruler display ticks every 12 inches instead of every 16 inches?

Hi all,
How do you make ruler display ticks every 12 inches instead of every 16 inches?

I just wish that common features like layers, color, swatches, styles, masks, adjustments, character, paragraph and so on - looked and functioned the same across adobe applications. Is that too much to ask for?
In some cases, that would be absurd. Photoshop and Illustrator are fundamentally differerent environments, as they should be. Photoshop Layers and Illustrator/InDesign Layers are entirely different things, because a vector drawing program works with arranging OBJECTS (raster images, vector paths, text objects) in a Z stacking order and XY position. A Photoshop Layer is essentially just another raster image of the same pixel count as all the others, viewed optionally opaquely or transparently on your screen. It would be ridiculous if Photoshop created a whole new raster image every time you colored another selection of pixels. It would be ridiculous if Illustrator created a new Layer everytime you draw a new path.
Regarding text, Photoshop and Illustrator share the same lame text engine. Illustrator's should be like InDesign's, not like Photoshop's.
And that is a good case-in-point negating the silly defensiveness of Illustrator's outdated and buggy functionality. Illustrator's text handling remains poor today. But it was not updated even to today's treatment until CS 1. For most of its history, its text handling was pathetically primitive compared to that of other programs which were designed for exactly the same purpose and which competed directly with it. Should one "defend" that fact with some nonsensical argument that 'Illustrator is not meant to be a word processor'?
It was not until AI10 that its print dialog acquired a simple Fit To Page command. You had to manually figure and enter a scale factor, and that was limited on the low end to 25%. Can that logically be "defended" on the basis that 'AI is not an imagesetter'? Every dang software on the planet provides a Fit To Page print option!
This "It's not a technical illustration program" argument is every bit as nonsensical. Every one of Illustrator's direct competitors provides for user-defined drawing scales, and has for decades. Illustrator is just as "technical" a drawing program as those others are. It's just particularly lame at it in this regard. And since when is "technical" illustration not "illustration"? And since when is user-defined drawing scale only needed for "technical" illustration? Absolutely ridiculous.
So what if in its infancy Illustrator was a tool for PostScript workflow? Illustrator's leading competitor for most of its history, FreeHand, was initially based on the path drawing engine of a font design software. But when it went to market as a general illustration tool, it blew the functional and interface doors off Illustrator, and continued to do so throughout its history.
The simple fact is this: Throughout its history, Illustrator never kept up with the basic drawing features, interface refinements, and performance of its direct competitors. Its market share is primarily due to its carrying an Adobe label--and to the absurd defensiveness of too many of its users who have next to no experience with anything else.
Ilustrator, Indesign and Photoshop share about 90% of the same functionality.
Where do you get that?
Photoshop's primary purpose is fine-tuning of raster imagery, especially photography. You don't do sophisticated color correction, channel operations, sharpening, etc., in Illustrator or InDesign. That's what I would call its "90% functionality."
InDesign's primary purose is automation of repetitive assembly tasks and text handling in high page-count documents. You don't do master pages, indexes, tables of contents, constant spooling the hard disk, hundreds of externally linked raster and vector files, chapters-long threaded text stories in Illustrator or Photoshop. That's what I would call its "90% functionality."
Illustrator's primary purpose is general-purpose vector drawing (which most certainly includes many kinds of 'technical' illustration) using cubic Bezier curves, and page-assembly for low page-count, illustration-intensive documents. That's what I would call its "90% functionality."
Now ask yourself: Should programs fundamentally structured for different primary purposes necessarily share the same interface? I say no, not necessarily. Example: The mere use of the same term (Layers) in Photoshop and Illustrator for what are fundamentally two different things has led to a gross misunderstanding on the part of Photoshop users who are Illustrator beginners, which is repeated here in this very forum almost every day.
Ask yourself this: Should unyielding adherance to the organizational dictates of Adobe's so-called "unified" interface be allowed to result in a palette flyout menu in InDesign that contains only one option? Is the very concept of a 'menu' not fundametally antithetical to a single choice? Is that not just poor interface design, regardless of whether it "matches" that of the other programs in the so-called "suite"? (Frankly, I find Adobe's over-use of flyout menus--which effectively HIDE important options--generally both ill-conceived and poorly executed.)
No, there simply is no excuse for Illusrator's still lacking user-defined drawing scales, just as there was no excuse for its lacking multiple pages for two full decades, just as there is no excuse for its still lacking reliable snaps, connector lines, live shape primitives (!), proper arc-drawing, proper corner rounding, inline graphics, auto-fitting textframes, the ability to join multiple paths at once, (note that NONE of those can be called specifically "technical" drawing features) and a plethora of other functions that are bare-bones basic to vector drawing. The programs is just archaic and outdated in all these regards, and that's all there is to it.

HT4111 how do you make the hippih keyboard pair with an ipad

how do you make the hippih keyboard pair with an ipad

I know this question is old but I just found out the real answer. After you turn on the little switch on the left side of the HIPPIH AppsKey Keyboard and the blue light blinks, I want you to look just above it. Do you see that hole right above the word PAIRING? Go grab a paper clip and press down in to the hole for about 2 seconds. This sends a signal to the ipad and in the BLUETOOTH menu you should see "Keyboard" under DEVICES. Click on it and dialogue box will pop up asking you to put in a passcode for the keyboard.
It took me way too long to figure this out.
