How to create a warm full chorus effect on a vocal track? What effects, plugins or methods to use?

Hey, I am using Logic pro 9 and have been for quite sometime now. The reason I am here today is because I want to know how to create a warm, more full, (almost doubling) chorus effect for my vocal hooks for the hip-hop tracks that I create. I have always heard that type of effect on hooks and never knew how they did it. For example in this song (This song is not my song, excuse the language but this is the type of effect i am looking for. Go to 1:12 of the song)

This is what I am looking for. PLEASE SOME ONE HELP I WOULD REALLY APPRICATEIT!! Thanks

True, the equipment that I am using does matter and at the moment I am only using a usb microphone with no pre amps or audio interface. I was asking that question to know what methods people use to create that chorus effect. What I did for the time being until I get my new set up I had a main vocal track that was centered and had no effect on it, then made 2 other copies so I had 3 tracks all together I panned one track all the way left and the other track all the way right then I applied the stereo spreader to the two copied tracks and turned the mix 76% channel delay 250 same intensity 100% and speed 1.644 Hz. Then I manually moved the tracks so that the left panned track came first then the main track then the right panned track. It was very small moves not to the point were you could tell just gave it that chorus effect. Do you think those were the right things to do? So its close almost there and maybe with the new setup it will be what I am looking for. But PLEASE KEEP COMMENTING EVERYONE HAS THERE OWN METHODS I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW YOURS!

How to create a new full backup alongside existing one?

I have recently reinstalled my MBP from scratch and installed some apps from scratch as well. I still have my old TM backup in a sparsebundle on my NAS (a ReadyNAS NV+).
I now would like to create a complete new full backup alongside my existing one. Or put differently, a new folder/backup inside the Backups.backupdb inside the mounted sparsebundle. Currently I see a folder called "XYZs MacBook Pro". I'd like that to be renamed to something like "XYZs Old MacBook Pro" and create a new full backup under "XYZs MacBook Pro".
I understand you end up having multiple folders inside Backups.backupdb if you have many Macs (with different MAC addresses). I only have one Mac, but want TM to treat my old previous backup (of the same MPB, hence with the same MAC address) as if it was from another Mac (with a different name).
With such a setup, I can still access backups from my previous installation of the same hardware by selecting another volume from TM (by holding Alt when clikcing at the TM icon) or with tools such as Back-In-Time.
Is there any way to achieve this? My sparsebundle is large enough to hold another full backup alongside the old one.
Thanks

But wait, you said if I erased the disk I get a new UUID. I did not erase it but I moved all files into a /Previous folder (after booting from the install DVD), then installed the system new, and then moved user data (and some Library and some application stuff) back from /Previous. So, I guess, I have no new UUID for my internal disk.
Ah, yes, that is different ("reinstalled from scratch" usually means erased). If the disk was never erased, it will still have the same UUID. But since you've moved or replaced virtually everything, it will all get backed up anyway.
I'm not sure why you did all that; the old +Erase and Install+ and +Archive and Install+ options no longer exist for Snow Leopard: there's just Install, which replaces OSX without touching anything else.
I wanted to have a *really clean* install as my old systems seemed to be messed up with some bad settings.
So, back to my original question: how can I make the new "XYZs MacBook Pro" appear alongside the old "XYZs MacBook Pro" and switch volumes when I start TM using the Option key?
Why would you want to do that? You can view and restore from any backup.
I figured that way I can keep all old backups from the old installation and not have TM retire old stuff. And start a new one from scratch for the new installation where things will get retired. Basically keep the two backups apart from each other and not see any of the old stuff unless explicitly mounted using the option key.
If I follow your approach, what happens to old files of the old disk/UUID? Will they get retired eventually? Would my original idea work as envisioned or would it retire old things nevertheless? If the latter is the case, it is of no use and your suggested approach is the better one.
Is there maybe a ay to force TM to start a new full backup?
Back up to a different place: a different HD or partition, or erase the current one.
Guess that's my only option then. I created a full bootable backup to en external USB disk using Carbon Copy Cloner. Erasing the internal disk and copying back using CCC will create a new UUID then I guess ...
I will try that in the next couple of days and report back here. Thanks a lot for all your help and explanations so far, much appreciated!

How to create the Over exposure wipe effect?

Films like The Secret produce a wipe effect of over exposed light emiting from the video as it transitions to the next shot. Any idea how to creat this effect?
Thx
Kevin

It can definitely play a factor. DVD has a little more leeway, and I've never seen an issue on my TV, but it's properly set up. For the typical viewer who probably has their brightness turned way up so they can watch TV in the afternoon with the sun shining right on the screen, the transitions will probably tear and distort.
I love the vapor across transition, but only use it for web based projects, and things I know that only I am going to be watching.

How to Create the Engraved/Carved Text Effect.

Hello everyone,
First I have search the forum for this topic but did not find it.
I am looking to create a Carved/Engraved Text Effect.
Something like this: http://www.patrickjudson.com/projects/example.jpg
There are other better examples but basically the text appeared to be engraved or carved in the background.
I have been struggling to learn this.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.

The short answer is to use layer styles which will do a pretty good fake of this effect. If you are looking to actually distort a texture, check out this tutorial: http://www.2morrow.dk/75ppi/3dtext/default.htm (you may substitute KPT3.0 with Photoshops shape burst gradient effect).

If you look at the first 3 seconds of the video:

Use an animaged shape or mask as a track matte for the logo.

I want to create a 5" x 7" multiple page booklet in Pages what kind of template do I use to make sure the information is on the right page and will print on the proper sheets?

I want to create a 5" x 7" multiple page booklet in Pages. What kind of template do I use so the text prints in order on the pages and on the right sheets? HELP!!!!

While there are templates available for several n page booklets, using them requires a separate template for each size (in pages) booklet you'll want to make.
A better method is to use some form of imposition software for mac that will do the imposing (placing each page on the correct sheet) using a copy of your content, printed to a PDF document. The link is to a Google search using that phrase as the search term.
For a more detailed discussion of imposition and some of the available software, see Peter Breis's post "imposing booklets" at the iWork Tips & Tricks site. (Scroll down)

How to create ePUB with full size images/pages to adjust according to device?

Friendly Greetings,
        I have been trying, for nigh on two months, to convert/create my 7 books that are in print into eBooks; with first publishing scheduled to be Nook, with Kindle on the eventually list. I am, sadly still working on just getting the first one published! And I could really use any assistance to get this figured out. My intent was to publish several weeks ago...now my desperation is to publish before the weather gets too warm and kids are outside most of the time...or at least no later than Easter. :0)
        First and foremost, my books are picture/poetry books for kids of all ages. They were fully designed in Photoshop, where I also created the full size images for the first eBook. I received the specifications from B&N for the various Nook devices. Under the assumption that it would be best to create the largest of the files, thus allowing smaller sized devices to adjust the page accordingly to fit and the largest would not overstretch a smaller image, I sized my pages to 1280px x 1920px at 72dpi. (now I hear 150 is standard??)
        My text is included within the image as the design is one image = one page. I included a full text only version of the story/poem at the end for those wishing to adjust text or use a voice reader. I obviously have all the original files, but for publishing they were all saved as JPGs.
        After quite a struggle and a whole lot of frustration I managed to complete the manuscript in Barnes and Noble's Nook Press Manuscript Editor. My internet is molasses and thus much of this was done in the wee hours of the morning when the rest of the time zone is asleep. I only had one page with an issue, of an extra blank line/space that was irreparable. I published, and found it was completely botched in publish, though the preview looked a-okay. Only about the top left 1/6 of each image/page was visible in either my laptop's Nook for PC or my Android Tablet's Nook App. So I agonizingly awaited another 10 hours, hoping no one would buy my book during that time, for it to be removed from sale.
        I downloaded a trial of InDesign CC, and after two weeks of not even being able to create a single new document for some screwy reason, I bought a month's subscription. So far I'm not entirely convinced of this whole Creative Cloud malarkey, especially considering...as like I said my internet is slow...it took me nearly 20 hours just download the software. (Is it really that difficult to offer disc, seriously?) After a chat and phone call I can, in theory, now use InDesign.
        I created a New Document for Digital Publishing at the aforementioned specs (1280 x 1920 px). I made the rectangle placeholders the full size of the page, and place one image per page. This usually inserted the image at about 50% and I would have to select 100% and then move as necessary in to place.
        Thus, my first question is: Is there a way to place an image at 100% without having to do that extra resizing step? Or if there is an alternative way to place the image to the full size of the page without any of those other steps that would be lovely too.
        Okay, after placing several pages/images I also selected each and went to Object Export Options and Checking the Custom Rasterization and "Resize to Text Flow". I then exported a trial ePUB to see what it would look like. On both the PC and Tablet in landscape mode it was a far cry better than the other, but about oh a 1/3 of the bottom of each page was cut off. On the tablet I rotated to portrait and voila full page. Woohoo! But alas, I don't want to limit it.
        Is there something I am doing wrong? Did I miss a step or two somewhere so that the full image will fit on the page? I feel like I'm just about to turn the page on this thing, but it's stuck to the one after that.
        I would greatly appreciate any insight, tips, help that anyone can offer. I have run the gauntlet of Barnes and Noble...cough, cough...support and apparently I ask questions which no Nook Press rep can answer and the forums over there have no clue about InDesign. It's almost as if with all the fantastic beautiful screens out there today nobody wants picture books! How does National Geographic do it?!
        Thank you very kindly.
In case it is necessary: My laptop uses Window 7 Pro 64-bit, InDesign CC is 64-bit and my 10.1 tablet uses Android. I can view the EPUB files in Nook for PC and Nook for Android. I also have Kindle, LumiRead, and various other apps on the tablet. I can also have someone preview the finished epub, if need, on a Mac, iPad, and/or Android phone...though I do not have any of these. Not sure who has a Nook I can look at though. Thanks again.

Q: Is there a way to place an image at 100% without having to do that extra resizing step?
I think here you want your images to fit in the full page size frame automatically. For this you can try the follwoing steps:
1. Create a new doc
2. Goto Object menu and choose Frame fitting options
3. Select Autofit and from Fitting drowdown, select "Fit content to frame". Refer the screenshot below:
After this you images should automatically fit in the entire page placeholder frames. Please let me know if this does not work or if the problem you are facing is different and I did not understand your problem correctly.

Pooja

How to create a filter based on Effective date EFFDT

Hello to all,
I am currently creating reports from an HR database that stores records by employee (EMPLID) based on effective date(EFFDT) and Effective Sequence (EFFSEQ).
It is easy to get a report that shows all entries up to a certain data (using <= or >=), however, I am not able to create a Filter (in the report or in the prompt)
that shows me the MAX(EFFDT) up to a certain data dd/mm/yyyy. (any one)
The sql script we use is the follwiing
SELECT A.EFFDT, A.EFFSEQ, A.ACTION, A.EMPL_CLASS, *
FROM PS_JOB A
WHERE A.EMPLID=' ' ----*(PROMPT1)*
AND A.EFFDT=(SELECT MAX(B.EFFDT) FROM PS_JOB B
WHERE B.EMPLID=A.EMPLID
AND B.EFFDT<=' ') *(PROMPT2)*
AND A.EFFSEQ=(SELECT MAX(B.EFFSEQ) FROM PS_JOB B
WHERE B.EMPLID=A.EMPLID
AND B.EFFDT=A.EFFDT)
Do I need to create a variable? If yes, How?
Please send me your suggestions or past experiences with BI on the subject.
Thanks

Hi Roberto,
I would create a session variable via the Oracle BI Administration Tool.
See the following of how to achieve this:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12096_01/books/admintool/admintool_Variables4.html
Reference this variable in your filter. It looks something like this VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."VARIABLE_NAME")
Good Luck,

How to create a horizontal full screen banner filled with sideways moving graphics?

Well, that is the question.
Spec: The banner should be the width of the page (or the screen),the width should be about 10% of the screen height, and a fixed series of pictures or graphics should be continually moving gently sideways inside this banner, filling the banner.
Note: I have Studio VII extensions at my disposal, and a whole bunch of others, but since I am new to Dreamweaver, I have not tried them all out; and so far, Studio VII inserts or behaviors have not answered my question (or I did not persist hard enough to get one of them fulfill my needs).
Slide Show Magic? Vertical or Horizontal Scroller? ShowPicLayer? Image Gallery Magic? ...all by Studio VII.. or anything else, as long as it gets images moving sideways in a banner.

First you need to build a container for your header and since you want it to be liquid (flex to size of viewport), you'll need to use a width in percentages rather than pixels.
Example of liquid header can be seen here: View page source to see the CSS and HTML code.
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/Liquid-header.shtml
Second, use Flash to build your moving picture banner. For detailed info on that, consult the Flash Forum.

Kranthi Kumar M.

Hi Kranthi,
For your requirement you need only two nodes. Root Node and Result node. Use the same structure for both.
To create Instance while search.
Create Query method with input type which has the required fields for selection criteria.
Fetch the data and create instance in the root node.
Pass the new instance key as exporting parameter form Query Method.
To Move data from ROOT to Result.
Create a action at root node.
Write a code to create new entries in Result node.
Then configure the Search UIBB and display result in List UIBB. Add button and assign the action MOVE_MAT_2_RESULT.
Create another List uibb to display data from Result node.
Connect the UIBBs using wire schema. SEARCH -> LIST(ROOT) ---> LIST(RESULT).
Give src node association for ROOT to RESULT Configuration.

Sunil

Simulating chorus from a single vocal track?

Hi guys,
I'd like to simulate a choir by using a single vocal track. What's the best way to go about doing that in Soundtrack Pro?
Thanks for any tips!!
Nick

To achieve this, you'd have to copy the voice a couple of times, and stretch & detune each copy. Fortunally there are plugins that can perform that task. The industry standard is 'Melodyne'. It's around 800 bucks, but I found a more friendly priced, and free plugin as well! They're all .AU plugins, so they can be used in STP.
Take look at Manifold & Autotalent on [KVR Plugin Database|http://www.kvraudio.com/get.php?mode=results&st=adv&soft%5B%5D=e&type% 5B%5D=90&type%5B%5D=91&type%5B%5D=58&f%5B%5D=au&osx=1&free=1&com=1&sf=0&receptor =&de=0&sort=1&rpp=30]

How do I create a magnifying glass zoom effect?

I'm building an image 'showcase of work' website site. Each html page features a selection of thumbnails on one side linked to a main image on the other. I am trying to find out how to create something like a zoom effect 'magnifying glass' so that the user can hover over the main image to zoom in within a confined circle or square in more detail, which moves with the mouse whilst hovering over the image. I'm sure you all know what I mean! (just in case, please see attached html file showing the page layout) (I also don't want to get too techy/over complicate things as I'm learning as I go). I want to be able to use this feature throughout the site, therefore, I guess it's another CSS rule that I need to apply...?
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to find some sort of step by step 'how to' do this. I can't seem to find just what I'm looking for... maybe I'm not calling it by the right terminology!
I'm currently using Design Premium CS4 (predominantly Dreamweaver, Photoshop and a little Flash)
Cheers....

Hi
Magiczoom and lightbox are used for showing enlarged versions of images etc. similar to using a separate pop-up window (but without the annoyance of pop-up windows).
Anythingzoomer is a magnifying glass effect and works as such.

How do I create this special lens flare effect?

Hey all!
So I was wondering how to create a lens flare-like effect. I should mention that I already know how to make the circle lens flare effect in after effects but I'm looking for more of a colored "wash" lens flare effect.
The effect is in this video starting at 00:16 seconds, with the lady in the car and the pink/yellow hues bouncing around.
http://vimeo.com/60631128
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or at least pointing me towards a tutorial or just the name of the effect so i can find a tut.
Thanks all!

First created shape layer that is Close to the base color you want for your flair. Second add fast blur or Gaussian blur of a value that is about half the size of your shape layer. Change the blend mode to add, duplicate, increase the blurb about 50%, duplicate repeat until you get what you want. Many times when creating this kind of an artificial lens flare effect I would use many different colors in the same flare. Sometimes I will make the layers 3-D and move them around in 3-D space.
The only other really good option is to buy some stock footage of real lens flares and colorize them using color grading effects.
by the way, one color grading and creating "light" affects you should always work with 32-bit projects.
