How many musicians can mainstage support at once?

I have LP8 and will be upgrading to 9 but have never used mainstage. Can only one person at a time use this or could our band run 2 guitars and 1 bass with amp designer, and 4 vocalists (effects) all at once from 1 MacBook pro? Does anyone here do this? How many tracks (if that's what they're called) can you use at once?

It's not really intended for multiple musicians, but you could make it work.
The patch changing seems pretty fast in MS2, but you'd have to see how it worked with multiple people playing during the change.
About the risk you are taking by putting your whole band through the computer - there is always a chance that mainstage will crash or glitch and it's probably more likely the more you stress the machine. Make sure you have a backup plan - maybe another guitar plugged into an amp that you can play with your drummer while someone fixes up the computer. I had to restart mainstage once during a performance and it was probably one of the most uncomfortable silences in my life
Professional keyboardists who use mainstage will sometimes have two laptops set up for redundancy.
I'm not bashing mainstage, you just have to be realistic - +you will have a problem with a computer setup.+

How many keys can be pressed at once

i want to play an online rhythm music game.. which would require the pressing of more than one key at one time.. so I wish to know how many keys can be pressed at once without the computer hanging or the keyboard jamming?
I'm using a Macbook, 2.0ghz, Black with 1 gig ram. Thanks.

By and large the keyboard does what the programmer of the software tells it to do - part of the programming is to address the input/output devices required by the application. By the same token the programmer can't require you to use keystrokes that can't be addressed through the OS involved.
It doesn't make much sense for someone to write software that can't be used.

How many computers can use final cut X once I purchase the license through the App store? Will it give me a code I can use to download the serial on a separate computer? Thanks for the answer.

TYou can use it in as many computers as you own and control. No serial number, just your Apple ID to download. Or just copy it from one machine to the other.

How many Emails can you send at once with Apple Mail?

I found out that road runner will allow me to send 1000 email in a 24 hour period. The question is, can I put 950 email addresses in the bcc and send it, or is it too many e mails at once. How many or what is the max emails you can send at once? Thanks

Photoshop CS5: how many files can be opened at once?

I've just tried to open about 400 jpg's in Photoshop CS5, as I needed to crop them to the best ratio for display on my iPod Touch, and I got an error message saying I'd tried to open too many images at once, and it stopped at about 200.
My system is a Win7 Pro 64Bit, 3.4GHz i7 machine, with 16GB RAM, and I thought actions like this were driven by the amount of system resource available, but Photoshop seems to have an internal limit, regardless of the resources.
Has anyone else come across this apparent limit, and is there a way 'round it?
Thanks
Paul

In that case if a center crop will do you can download my crafting actions package. It contains a plug-in script that I wrote based on Adobe plug-in script Fit Image its name is AspectRatioSelection you can record using it in an action set its dialog to have it set a new selection that is a rectangle with a aspect ratio 3 2 that is centered and not feathered. This script will select a 3;2 center selection for lanscape images and a 2:3 selection for Portrait images. When the action is played the diaqlog will not show for the plug-in will record the settings you used when you recorded the action into the actions step. These setting will be passed to the script when the action is played and the script will not display its dialog unless you turn on the dialog in the action step. Once this setp is recorded follow it with a Image Crop step. Once you have recorded this two setp action you can run the Image processor set its dialog to run this action and heve it save and resize the crop to fit 1920x1920 or you could include a Fit Image step in the action after the Image crop step and set the Fit Image dialog width and height to 1920. You will find Fit image and AspectRatioSelection under menu File>Automate>...... You will also find Imahe Processor Pro there if you download it from Russell Browns web site.
If a center crop will not do for you add an additional step to the action to make it interactive by adding an interactive transform selection after the aspectratioselection step. The step need to be recorded with a 180 degree rotation and have its dialog turned on and you will need to hold the shift or shift+alt keys down and use a cornor point as you transform the 3:2 selection to constrain the selection to have the same 3:2 aspect ratio.

How many people can join facetime at once?

Can you use facetime like video conferencing with multiple people?
Thanks!

Though we are a few device and iOS versions beyond January 2012, when you asked the question, Apple Support liturature states audio conferencing should work, but videoconferencing should not. This is a more recent thread related to FaceTime conferencing: Does iOS 8 FaceTime have audio conferencing or not?

How many times can I download Quick Time Pro once I purchased it?

Last September I purched my update to Quick Time Pro. Now I bought a new Computer and re-formatted the old one, not being able to copy Quick Time Pro from the old to the new computer. Therefore I wanted to download again Quick Time Pro: In the settings window I introduced my program key and then "accepted". It said "Quick Time pro" below the registration line; however, the "apply" buttom was not operative. I checked and my Quick Time version was still "Quick Time 7", not Pro. My question is: how many times can I download Quick Time Pro once I purched it? If I can download it more often than once, how do I proceed? Thank you for your help.

I started this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2454706&tstart=0
but I'm afraid it's so involved that thus far, nobody has "touched" it.
However, PART of my problem is similar to THIS person's.
My problem is that I have QT on two different drives in one computer; the one I paid for [QT Pro?] and one I got for free; QT7. I fear the free QT7 might have "interfered" with my "Pro".
So, taking your advice above, looking in the "Help" "About" menu, I find that BOTH of mine another "offer" above the word "About"; they suggest that I "Purchase QT Pro"...... so now, if BOTH of my QT's say THAT, then may I conclude that I do NOT have the Pro version? I'm meaning to say that if I already HAVE the Pro, they wouldn't suggest that I go and "Buy QT Pro".... right? Is this a safe conclusion? for ya'll that HAVE the Pro, and KNOW it, does it suggest to you that you could go and "purchase QT Pro"?
Thanks,

How many devices can I have in my support profile?

How many devices can I have in my support profile? I have 24 and can not add any more. I just tried to add a new iPhone and it says the serial number, "We're sorry, but this serial number is either invalid or it is for Apple software or accessories. If you are trying to register Apple hardware other than an accessory, please check your information and try again."

Never having seen that question before, I tried to find some information - could not find anything unfortunately. So, unless someone else has a better suggestion, my recommendation is to use this form:

How many devices can connect at once

I have an AirPort Extreme running my home wifi network. How many devices can connect to it at one time? What solutions are there if I'm over that limit?

If you have a recent model AirPort Extreme, it will allow a total of about 250 devices to connect.....50 wireless plus an additional 200 Ethernet devices.
Keep in mind that all devices share the same Internet connection bandwidth.
So, if you have a 20 Mbps Internet service and you have 20 devices connected to the AirPort Extreme, then each device will receive about 1Mbps of bandwidth. That might be OK for light browsing, but a big file download is going to be SLOW.
Another way of saying the same thing is that the network slows down as you add more devices. If you need more speed, you'll need to talk to your Internet Service Provider about a faster connection plan.
The AirPort Extreme will handle far more speed than your ISP can ever hope to deliver.

How many tasks can I have in NI-DAQmx system?

I am working out of the office this week - please send your response to [email protected] as well as my normal email [email protected].
I am designing a new test platform that will run on C# (because we like object oriented text based programming and because the IDE is free). For hardware we'll use your PXI modules (because your hardware is ultra-reliable). I'm starting with the following PXI modules 6259, 4072, 6509, 2575, and 2569, but we made add other modules later as future requirements demand. I am doing the system software architecture now. I've done some dabbling with Ni_daqmx, and I loathe "tasks" and "channels", but am determined to make them work.
The difficulty I'm having revolves around the overhead with setting up tasks and channels and with the concept of tasks and channels. Help hasn't helped much. Tasks seem to work great if you intend to always collect the same large amount of data from many sources and always will do it in exactly the same way.
We want something much more akin to random access memory. We'll have UUTs of different kinds coming on and off at random times. Sometimes a test will need a simple DC voltage, and other times another test will need 2 seconds worth of data at 1MS/s. It can cost around 150msec to make that change (stop the current task, creat another one, configure anohter channel, start up a new task, blah, blah, task this, channle that - for the life of me I can't understand what this damn taks concept does for me but make matters more complicated and bog down my system).
I can just barely glean from the help that I can have only one analog input task at once, but I can have sevferal taks of several different kinds running at the same time ( a digital output task and another task for digital input, and another task for analong input, etc.) . It does seem that I can set realys without having to put them into a channel and a task (Thank goodness for that - I just wanna turn on a relay I have no idea what a relay "channel" might be.)
In the PXI system I described above I'll have two devices that are analog input devices, the DMM and the Daq. Even with two devices, can I only have one analog input task running? Does that mean I've got to waste 150msec just to switch from the DMM to the Daq? (Do you understand my frustration with "tasks"? - I should be able to say "read DMM" and turn around and say "read Daq channel 0" without having to jump thru task and channle hoops and waste a bunch of time doing it).
I'll also have Daq digital IO and two 6509 digital io modules. Do I have to cram all of that into some "task" concept too? The Daq card has got many other kinds of wonderful capability (frequency measurement, counters, analog output). How many tasks can I have for that stuff? On the DMM card I can measure capacitance amoung other things. Will I have a capacitance task? The idea of a "capacitance task" hurts my head.
Golly I hate tasks. Please help.
I am working out of the office this week - please send your response to [email protected] as well as my normal email [email protected].

Dave,
Thanks for posting to the NI Forums.
For the good of the community we like to keep conversations that start of the forums on the forums rather than moving to email. If you want to move to email support I recommend contacting NI through the email route.
I will answer your questions here. If you need more direct contact please feel free to contact us through [email protected].
For some the concept of tasks may seem daunting, however, for many applications it makes life a lot more simple. A task at a very fundamental level is simply a collection of channels with a single type (AI, DI, DO, etc.) and a single timing configuration (sampling rate, continuous vs. finite, etc.). It is a way to organize configuration data.
The concept of a task is an abstraction like OO programming. Like OO programming it may take some time to understand but can be a time saver in the end. Also like OO programming it does add some initial programming overhead. It is much more simple to simply type a printf statement in C than to have to create a bunch of classes just to output text to the screen. You can accomplish the same thing not using OO programming, but in the end OO programming is extremely useful, because it groups useful information and methods together in one place.
With very simple applications OO programming sometimes does not make sense. But as a program gets more and more complex OO programming becomes more and more useful. It takes some learning but it is worth it.
I believe the concept of a task does the same thing. It does not change the actual functionality of the device or add excessive overhead. It is just an abstraction that pulls configuration data about a specific "task" and methods the task can perform into a single logical place.
Unlike the entirely abstract concept of an Object, a Task is run on a physical device and therefore has physical limitations. You can create multiple tasks of the same type, but you can only run a one timed task of each type on a single board at a time. In other words you can have multiple AI tasks running at the same time but they need to run on different boards or only one can be timed (have a rate). You can also have multiple timed AI tasks configured for a single board but only one can actually be running at a time.
The reason you can only have a single timed task running at a time is because the M-Series boards (and many other boards as well) have a single timing engine for each type of acquisition or generation. There is a single timing engine for AI, one for AO, and so forth. You cannot have channel 1 running at 1 MS/s and another running at 50 kS/s.
However, tasks can exist even when they are not being actively run. You can create all the tasks you need at the beginning of your program and simply start and stop them as you need. After the task is stopped you do not need to clear the task until the end of your program. You can further increase performance by moving the Task into the latest state possible without actually starting the task. This can be done by calling myTask.Control(TaskAction.Action). The Task states are further explained in the NI-DAQmx Help Manual.
The concept of a task will need to be used with any device that is being programmed using NI-DAQmx. The 6259 and 6509 will need to be programmed using DAQmx. With the 2575 and 2569 you have the choice of either using the NI-DAQmx API or the NI-SWITCH API. The SWITCH API does not use the concept of tasks. For the 4072 you will need to use the NI-DMM API. This API also does not use the concept of tasks.
Hopefully this information is helpful. Let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
