I don't know what I'm doing... :(

I'm lost with this program. I just moved up from Garageband but I can't seem to figure out how to work it. I dragged a garageband song file to Logic Express to edit it further but can't seem to get any sound coming out of my speakers while the song is playing. Last time this happened, it had something to do with the bussing but I'm not positive. I'm also having trouble trying to use my griffin audio input and also monitor what i'm playing. When using garageband, I'd use my griffin audio input to plug my guitar directly in to the computer and I could monitor myself playing while I recorded. Though in Logic, I can't seem to find how to turn the monitoring on. Can anyone help me with any of this?
Also, are there any actually decently cheap lessons on using Logic out there?

Although i can second what has been said (Read The Fine Manual...), i recommend the following:
Regarding Sound output, search this forum for "aggregate device". This is a virtual audio device you can set up using OS X Audio-Midi-Setup Application and it contains both your griffin thing and the built in outputs of your mac. Now you have to select this device as audio device within logic and set the appropriate inputs and outputs manually. This is the #1 most FAQ in this forum i guess.
Regarding Logic lessons, search youtube for logic and you'll find many lessons for free.
Start with simple things. Don't try to edit a whole project at first. Do your learning step by step. It is a steep learning curve, but worth the effort.
Ask here in the forums if the manual don't give you the right answers.

    Cannot get Shuffle to be recognized by pc. Have went through asst. 5 times, don't know what to do now!!

    If this is a new shuffle, make sure the plug on the USB cable is completely inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3572
    If it is properly connected, does the shuffle's light come ON at all, when you connect it to USB?  If it does, what does it do immediately after connection?

  • TestStand 4.1.1 Evaluation Version Limitation? or I just don't know what I am doing?

    Hi,
    I am currently using TestStand 4.1.1 Evaluation version.  I looking at customize the interface.  I am using LabWindow CVI.  I opened the source and its UIR.  I tried to add a button on the panel, but it doesn't seem to change any appearance at all when I compiled and run the executable.  I wonder if it is because I am using evaluation version or I just don't know I am doing?!
    Secondly, I am also look at integrating source control into TestStand.  From the standard menu, I saw grayed out "Source Control" option.  Again, is it is because of the evaluation version?  Or if I need to setup something in order for this to work?  Currently, in my computer, I know I have SourceSafe.
    Any information would be great!
    Thanks.

    Peggy,
    i am not aware of any books that help much in this rather special case.
    Taking a look into the function which does the resizing:
    static int ArrangeControls(int processEvents) 
    you can see that the code first of all asks for the size of the whole panel.
    After this, this size is split up into different rectangles which represent the different parts of the panel (e.g. tab control).
    Each rectangle has now the size fitting to the current panel size. So all you need to do next is to step into each pane and resize its controls (e.g. buttons, listboxes,...)
    So you see a lot of SetCtrlAttribute-calls with the parameter ATTR_WIDTH and ATTR_HEIGHT.
    All you need to do is to include your control in this algorithm for the appropriate pane you used to place your control.
    hope this helps,

  • I Need Serious Help With My ZEN MICRO! Help With MediaSource!! Don't Know What I'm Doing

    Hey.. I just bought my zen micro... i love the player itself...but coming from itunes, which is amazingly easy and simple to use, the creative mediasource is sooo hard for me to get the hang of! First, i had to figure out how to get my songs from itunes (aac) to mediasource (wma). not easy... now, i don't understand how to edit my songs, playlists, etc... i can't do anything!! if there's someone who wouldn't mind helping me out..please reply or write and let me know.... thanks! jason. [email protected]

    >> First, i had to figure out how to get my songs from itunes (aac) to mediasource (wma). not easy...
    This is not MediaSource's issue.
    >> i don't understand how to edit my songs, playlists, etc...
    The first task you need to do is to add all your songs into MediaSource's PC Music Library. After that, it is not difficult to figure out how to use MediaSource. Editing track properties and creating playlist is very simple. To transfer tracks to your devices, you need to click a button at the bottom right of MediaSource to open up another panel to facilitate the transfer.

  • Iphone 4 STOLEN today, trying to backup on 3G but don't know what I'm doing

    My iphone 4 was stolen today while out at the pool and out of sight for literally 10 minutes. There are no iphone 4s anywhere at any of the att or apple stores here so am forced to order a new one and wait the 5-10 days. Luckily my dad still has his old 3G from when he upgraded to the 4. Question is, how do I get it to work? I restored his old phone and it gave me the option to choose my phone to backup on it, which I did. My photos and contacts are there and everything but it says no service...is there something else I am supposed to be doing?? Thank you SO much for any of your help, I am LOST without my phone!!

    That's because that sim card has been deactivated. You need to go to an AT&T store & get an activated sim with your account info on it & put that in your phone.

  • Applescript Image Events appears to have memory leak (or I don't know what I am doing)

    Using Image Events to create images and thumbnails for a website. The following code results in very large memory leaks in Image Event process. I have documented results of test runs in the comments.
    The leak (or poor coding on my part) results in a total system halt if I attempt to process more than about 400 images at a time. Basically, I run out ot physical memory. I am running a new model 13" MBP with 8GM RAM.  I have to manually stop Image Events to reclaim the memory (or reboot of course).
    Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
    (* test memory leak in Image Events *)
              tests with 58 photos selected in iPhoto
              5.7 MB left in Image Events after run with only open and close
              22.0 MB left in Image Events after run with open, save and close
              45.9 MB left in Image Events after run with open, scale, save and close
              A run with 382 photos selected used OVER 3.8 GB (gigabytes) and the
              mac ran out of physical memory so I had to stop the test.
    tell application "Finder"
              set imageFolder to folder "test" of home as alias
    end tell
    tell application "iPhoto"
              set currPhotoList to the selection
              repeat with currPhoto in currPhotoList
                        log name of currPhoto as string
                        set theImagePath to image path of currPhoto
                        tell application "Image Events"
      launch
                                  set theImage to open theImagePath
      scale theImage to size 128
      save theImage in imageFolder as JPEG with icon
      close theImage
                        end tell
              end repeat
    end tell
    --- end of code example

    Does the following code do any difference? Most likely no I guess… but better try than nothing.
    tell application "Finder"
        set imageFolder to folder "test" of home as text -- instead of “as alias” (see theTargetPath below)
    end tell
    set theImagePaths to {}
    set theImagePathsRef to a reference to theImagePaths -- faster with big lists
    tell application "iPhoto"
        set currPhotoList to the selection
        repeat with currPhoto in currPhotoList
            log name of currPhoto as string
            get POSIX file (image path of currPhoto) as alias -- faster ?
            copy result to the end of theImagePathsRef
        end repeat
    end tell
    tell application "Image Events"
        launch
        repeat with theImagePath in theImagePaths
            set theImage to open theImagePath
            scale theImage to size 128

    If you want some advice from a parent who has a 5yr old, a 3yr old and a 1yr old using Ipads... Keep them off the Youtube stuff.. It has caused more problems for me than anything you would believe..
    From issues with the Ipads... finding they have gone from Dora the Explorer vidoes to cartoons of characters called poopman... and the biggest problem.. I think the overdose of Ipad usage has ruined my kids from doing what regular kids should be doing.. On xmas they opened all their gifts, then just went back to the ipads.. I thought Candyland and Chutes and Ladders would be a big change.. Forget it.. They need rehab from Ipad..
