How to add drums and other software instruments

i recorded a pretty sweet jazz track with my guitar and thought that it would be even sweeter if it had some awesome drums with the brushes, but cannot figure out how to apply software instruments, for like the background, to me already recorded guitar track.

Hi bluesman...
I thought I'd reply to this before you end up ditching this forum due to either lack of replies and possibly the odd post that just says "read the manual" with a bit of the requisite lampooning that can go with it.
Your post strongly suggests you are very new to Logic, and audio recording/sequencing software generally. There is no harm in indicating this in your post as it will help others to pitch their solutions to you.
Your question is of a very basic and general nature and is covered in depth in the user manual which can be found under the help menu.
You will find other users slow to answer this question for you given that it is covered in depth in the manual - users on the forum aren't inclined generally to offer online tutorials - its a bit like asking someone to rewrite the manual for you...
What we are very glad to do is offer specific advice about a particular problem... this means - let us know what you are trying to do to solve the problem already... saying "I can't use software instruments" doesn't help us to help you. Have you read the manual? What do you already understand?
I realise terminology etc. can be difficult for a newcomer - my advice given the limited info you have provided - look at the manual if you haven't already; buy a Logic tutorial book or DVD (search the forum for good reccomendations); and avoid the use of the word "awesome" in your posts!
I wish you the best of luck in your endeavours.

How to download iphoto and other software for other macs from the liscensed version from a new mac

I purchased a macbook pro in Dec 2011 and was told I could download software from app store (ilife, OSX, etc) for up to two other macs based on the software liscense agreement. Can anybody tell me where to find instructions on how to do this? Thanks. TJW

You need to have accepted the iLife suit into your Mac App Store account from the Mac App Store app on your new Mac. Then you should be able to open the Mac App Store on the other Macs with at least Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and download the apps after signing into your account.
There is not a two Mac limit. You are able to download your Mac App Store apps on every Mac that you own or have in your control, which would include Macs issued to you by your emplyer or an educational institution.

If you did not get an OS X install-restore DVD with the computer you may need
to buy one from somewhere, and you may be lucky to get a retail OS X 10.5.x
version. The original grey-label install set of software and OS X it shipped with
likely would be an older system than Leopard 10.5. Last versions of G4 Mac, &
G5, shipped with a Tiger 10.4 system; so did early Intel-based Mac. Grey discs
which accompanied other computer build models generally do not interchange.
The last OS X version a PowerPC architecture can use, if supported, is 10.5.8.
A PPC processor at 867MHz & faster should be able to run OS X 10.5 Leopard.
{With the correct disc installer, you can use it to change a password and other
things including re-install, and perform disk utility functions, etc.}
There is a chance you may be able to get a white-label Replacement 10.4 DVD
or Replacement 10.5 DVD from AppleCare or the online Apple Store (800myapple)
from a Mac OS X system specialist; these have been available yet hard to get
as not all persons involved with them seem to know if they still exist until someone
is asking. These aren't retail stock, are special discs for computers who could use
a system later than original old discs; these are complete install discs not for one
specific series of Mac. Generally they'd work in supported PowerPC G4/G5; but
do not replace specialized original install DVD, such as an early Intel mac requires.
You'd need to have a serial number of the computer, and a method of payment
when seeking some replacement system media from Applecare or Apple sales
and these discs are not available in a retail store. The original Retail discs are
labeled differently and shipped in a retail box with a big X on the front. Other
sources for retail 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard may be online via amazon sellers
or computer resellers who handle repaired Macs. Avoid mystery grey label ones
that were intended to be sold and kept with their original computer kits.
Good luck!

SAP client and other software on a Virtual Machine

I'm the campus coordinator for a university that is a member of the University Alliances program. This gives us the ability to put the R/3 client and other software on lab machines and also distribute it to students.
Given that we deploy in a shared lab environment on a university campus we often don't have absolute control over things like browser versions, plugins available, security settings, Java version available, and so on. We also only have the ability to do updates, installations, etc. at fixed times of the year.
As a solution for this, we're contemplating creating a virtual machine to be able to control the environment more and also allow the student greater control and customization. At this point we'd be looking at developing a Windows VM, either Vista or XP, that would have the R/3 client, IE with all the correct plugins for running Visual Composer, NetWeaver Developer Studio, and other programs such as Solution Composer. The idea would be that if we need to add a new software resource, change a version, tweak the environment, etc. we could just update and redistribute this virtual machine.
Has anyone here attempted this type of deployment? As we are just beginning, any helpful hints or advice would be appreciated.

I appreciate your willingness to think through this with me and share your expertise.

My assumption was that if we had multiple windows instances out there all with the same key (assuming non-volume key) that the piracy protection built into the OS might in some way cause problems.

I'm not sure how challenging that in fact might be. A quick Google search turned up lots of sites that at least claim to have Windows volume keys and necessary install media. I know that college students can be very adept at things in that domain.
> The biggest problem you might face is the UUID of the client instances - they will be identical. If you plan to use Active Directory functionality (for e. g. Single Sign On) then you need to make sure each VM is different (speaking of running sysprep) and that you have a different user on each VM - which will be not easy to mantain.
If I'm understanding your thought correctly, the UUID issue is why I thought attempting 1 shared OS license key for all VMs would be problematic. My assumption is that having a unique OS key on each VM would solve this problem.
As far Active Directory goes, that likely won't be an issue. Our students have storage on the campus network, but we have no plans for the VM to access that. All our SAP resources are hosted remotely at a UCC. I envision the students being able to 'boot' their VM, connect to the UCC using the client software, do their SAP work, and be done. The only storage they'd have in the VM would be a drive in the VM. While this might not work in many deployments, given our use of this just for lab instruction, I think it would work well.
> Another point to consider is: How to update? If you update your main image (e. g. necessary SAPGUI patches) - how will you distribute that to the USB-VMs - or how will you make sure the students use the latest copy?
This is where our situation and a corporate situation likely differs. Since we are hosted by a UCC that caters just to the academic environment things tend to be build and frozen during the summer and then not changed until the next year. Our classes run each semester independently. Although we may have to roll out a different VM from one semester to the next, a mid-semester change shouldn't be needed. However, having said that, if we do need to install a patch, that should be much easier. In a lab shared environment updating a software version requires a lot of coordination. In this VM situation, each students has full administrator privilege over their VM. If they need to install a patch, they can do so. If they mess this up, they haven't disrupted anyone else. In that instance they could just download the base VM again as a 'reset.'
> In such an environment I'd more think about setting up a terminal server (using Windows 2003) and install all necessary software there. With that you only need to update at one place, you can granularily give permissions to the users and supporting users in case of a proble is easier (mirroring the session) than having single instances with all the same hostname of the client. And all students only need an RDP client which comes with the Windows XP or Vista by default.
That is something we haven't considered with this project, and I'll have to check with our system manager. Resources might be an issue here. We have an abundance of PCs, so each of them running their own VM isn't an issue. I'm not sure if we have a server capable of supporting 30-40 simultaneous remote connections that is not otherwise in use.
Thanks for your ideas here Markus. Any other thoughts, ideas, etc. are most welcome. I'll also update this thread as I start experimenting with this over the next couple of weeks.

Unable to hear and record software instruments

I can only hear and record my Korg TR Music Workstation instruments. How can I hear/record the software instruments (from Logic Express 9, Garage Band/Jam Packs)? I have my Korg connected to the computer through an M-Audio recording interface.

You can hear them by:
1. Making sure your midi input is functioning (see a little movement in the transport box)
2. Selecting a virtual instrument in the box just above the 'out' box above the track volume slider
3. Play the chosen instrument from midi keyboard, or draw a region, open, play vertical keyboard on Left side with mouse.
I hope you don't really try to record instruments in the Jam Packs because they're not instruments.
As far as I know , they're loops.

Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows

Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows how can I download them with out the install cd?

Or for the same price you can order a new Snow Leopard disk. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
That would give you Boot Camp 3.0 drivers. With Snow Leopard and Boot Camp 3.0 you can install Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7. With Lion and Boot Camp 4.0 you can only install Windows 7. If you install Lion with Boot Camp 3 and XP or Vista already on it it will work.

NetBeans and other software not available in the main solaris repository.

In the main(default) Solaris 11 Express repository we cannot find NetBeans and other software we could find in OpenSolaris in the extras repository,for example.Reading Solaris 11 Express release notes I find the main solaris repository and the support(for security and bug updates) repository,no other.Do we need to download directly in the NetBeans website,OpenOffice website etc.etc.,or are there any other repositories I did not see.

I just wrote an blog entry based on this question - http://blogs.sun.com/observatory/entry/left_behind. Bottom line, you can either download the software directly or add the opensolaris.org repository and get the IPS version.

How to block MacKeeper and other browser ads

how to
block MacKeeper and other browser ads

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Funtion Module: SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1-How to add TO and CC email id

In the Funtion Module: SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1- How to add TO and CC email ids?
In the TABLE parameter RECEIVERS, there is field RECEIVER where we pass email ids and field COPY which should be 'X'.
But my concern is how will it distinguish that which email ids should be in TO and which should b in CC?
Kindly help. Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Anindita Ghosh

Hello Anindita,
Say you need to send mail to 2 receivers and the 1st one is TO and the second is CC.
Just create 2 entries in the internal table of type SOMLRECI1.
wa_receiver-receiver = <email id of TO>
wa_receiver-express = 'X'.
wa_receiver-rec_type = 'U' (if sending to an external internet id - yahoo,gmail etc)
append wa_receiver to it_receiver.
clear wa_receiver.
wa_receiver-receiver = <email id of CC>
wa_receiver-express = 'X'.
wa_receiver-rec_type = 'U' (if sending to an external internet id - yahoo,gmail etc)
wa_receiver-copy = 'X'.
append wa_receiver to it_receiver.
clear wa_receiver.
Hope this helps

I have CS5 design premium student and teacher edition, have never been able to receive any updates. And cannot find cetain features like Content Aware, Adobe Watermarks etc...Is there any way I can add these and other features

I have never been able to receive any updates. And cannot find cetain features like Content Aware, Adobe Watermarks etc...Is there any way I can add these and other features unavailable to me? Or do I have to upgrade the version I have? If so, how much would that be?

The only "content aware" feature in CS5 is the fill, so you are not missing anything with the updates because nothing more is there. And I honestly don't know what you mean by "Adobe watermarks" there is no such thing, but there is a series of scripts for such stuff.
