I like to play ahead of the beat, but...

I prefer to not use quantization, to optimize the human feel factor. But this means that -- for a given song where it calls for playing slightly ahead of the beat -- the notes are slightly ahead of the grid. Therefore my regions do not begin exactly on the downbeat. In the past, I have taken the fairly lousy approach of correcting the first downbeat so that it sits squarely on the one. But that makes the first beat feel a tiny bit late… not cool.
If I don't fix the first downbeat to exactly the 1, I won't hear it in cycle mode unless I shift the cycle region slightly to the left. Is this my only solution?
In conclusion, for those of you who prefer not to quantize (or who prefer to quantize less than 100% strength), can you recommend some approaches in your workflow to deal with the issue of playing ahead of the beat?
Thank you so much,
David in Seattle

I received a reply to my question in another forum, and am posting it here so that others may learn from it too:
"Check out the pre-processing setting in the Cycle section of the General tab of the preferences. You can set different values here to grab notes that start earlier when cycling."

Why am I unable to play games on my Touch if WiFi is unavailable. The kids like to play games in the car ?

The kids like to play games in the car. i dont always want them to use my phone. I bought an Ipod touch partially for this reason but games can not be played if we are not close to WiFi. If would have known this I would not have bought it. Can I change this in any way. in Settings??

Some games require an internet connection and some do not. It seems that the ones yu kids are using require an internert connection. The iPod can only connect to the internet via wifi.
If your phone and data plan supported tethering/persone hotspot then use you phone to connect to the iternet and the iPods can then connect to your phone via wifi (or bluetooth for iPhone tethering)

Hello, I use MAC AIR OSX 10.6.8 and have Adobe CS2, that I was using 2 years ago on my older computer. I stopped using it because it would close down in the middle of work. Now I would like to reinstall it on the MacAir but I can not get it working. It tells Adobe doesnT support my System. But I can not update my old version or activate it. What can I do?

The mac you want to install photoshop cs2 on is running mac os x 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?
(photoshop cs2 won't run on intel macs with mac os x newer than snow leopard)
Did you ever have cs2 installed on this particular computer before?
If the problem is that you already installed cs2, but it won't activate, that's because adobe took the activation servers offline for some older adobe products such as cs2.
You'll need to use the non activation version of cs2 from here and the supplied serial number:
Activation server shut down for Creative Suite 2, Acrobat 7, and Macromedia products

Adobe Muse with Edge Animate components plays great on the Mac but images don't show in Windows. Any suggestions?

I am using CC with both Edge Animate and Muse. After uploading to the website host it plays great on the Mac but images don't appear when I'm using Windows. Any suggestions?

Hi, VelveteenWebDesignGroup-
You're in luck! We just added in a feature to the latest version of Edge Animate CC (3.0) to enable the CDN option for OAM publish (what we call the "Animate Deployment Package"). This means that your Animate compositions can now references jQuery and the Animate runtime from the network instead of from the project directory. (Please note that this will only make sense for Dreamweaver and Muse integration with OAM and won't make sense for InDesign.)
To turn this on, launch Animate and go to File > Publish Settings. Then select the Animate Deployment Package on the left and click "Host runtime files on Adobe CDN." Save and publish, and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps,
-Elaine

I created a theme and a slideshow in iDVD. The theme (intro) plays looped in the preview, but does not go on to the slideshow. How do I "un"loop it?

I created a theme and a slideshow in iDVD. The theme (intro) plays looped in the preview, but does not go on to the slideshow. How do I "un"loop it?

Perhaps someone on this forum has done what you are asking and would be more help than me.
I think it could be done, but you'd have to do some fiddling around. The concept is to make the iDVD theme part of your iDVD or iMovie created slideshow, so that it will play as part of the slideshow.
I don't know if this will work, but if I were experimenting I would try creating an iDVD project with just the theme in it, and then save that to your desktop as a disc image. When you click on the icon of the disc image you have just created, you will see a Video_TS folder. Open that and you will see a file containing the letters VOB. Open that file.
You need to convert that VOB file back to DV or Quicktime Movie which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need the free download MPEG Streamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/, which I believe costs about $20.
Open MPEG Streamclip and drag the VOB file to its window. Go to the MPEG Streamclip file menu and click on Export to DV.
After the export is done, you will have a DV file containing the iDVD theme. I would try adding that clip as your first entry in your slide show, assuming that you are running iDVD7. (You can't add a movie to a slideshow in iDVD6.) When you play your slideshow hopefully it will play the DV clip containing the theme, then seamlessly followed by your slide show. If it doesn't, try instead exporting the VOB file to a Quicktime Movie, and then try to add the Quicktime movie to your slideshow.
You might be able to do this easier if you created your slideshow in iMovie instead of iDVD. You could make an iMovie with the iDVD theme clip as the lead clip, and then share your iMovie project to iDVD.
Good luck with this. As I said, perhaps someone else has an easier way to do this and will chime in.

I believe there is no "Export to Tape" feature as appeared in legacy FCP.
SORRY! Just noticed you are using FCP 6.
You need to ask this question in the Final Cut Studio forum.

Each time I connect to my IBM computer it crashes with blue screen error message pops up. Apple say that it's my printer/camera drivers. The problem is with iTunes, it likes to play with all the ports on my comp and conflicts with prnt drivers. How to fix

Does anyone know how to fix this problem without disabling my printer. It's very frustrating. It's either I have my iPad or my printer. iTunes likes to play with the ports on my computer thereby causing a conflict with my printer drivers. Apple should fix this problem, I'm so annoyed.

When this problem first happened, I searched for threads and found a few. See be;ow links:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502
Apple say that its a driver problem, but I've never had this problem before so I am not convinced. Another thread, which I can't seem to find, suggests that it is an apple problem - itunes plays with the ports on the company causing conflicts with existing drivers. I isolated the conflict to my new Samsung printer. I uninstalled the Samsung printer driver and then can successfully connect my ipad without the blue screen appearing.
It's not a windows problem. Windows is working fine. Only happens when Ipad is connected. Actually, this first happened after I installed the new version of itunes. I reget installing the new itunes version, but don't know how to reinstall the previous itunes version.

IMovie has frozen up on me. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling the apps- no help. I can play some of the files- but I can't get into the libraries.Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a few minutes. What can I do?

I desperately need your help. I was working on iMovie last night when the thing froze up on me. I've tried rebooting. I've tried reinstalling the apps. No change. I can play some of the files- although I can't tell which ones will play until they magically appear. I can't get into the project library or the event library. The bar that lets me scroll through the clips is gone. Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a couple of minutes and generates a "problem report" that says "iMovie Quit Unexpectedly". This all started when I was adding cutaways- and one clip just would not load. After I tried several times everything froze up. Have you ever heard of something like this? Maybe I pushed a button or somehow changed a setting? Maybe some of the video is corrupt? What do you recommend?
Thanks for any advice you can offer!

I have tried all the above and nothing seems to work. Any other suggestions?

Opens and plays correctly in the viewer, but of zero length in the browser.

The song I sing to FC is "I can't get started with you." It probably is my fault because I don't come in the front door like the rest of you, with capture from a camera. I come from Still Life, exported to iMovie. Unfortunately, Still Life seems to label the .MOV as coming from an old version of iMovie, even though I am using iMovie HD 6.0.1. Final Cut Pro will not import my .MOV.
I have contacted Granted Software about removing the erroneous designation. In the meantime I tried a workaround by exporting from iMovie HD 6.0.1 to Quick Time Pro 7.04. I got a .DV and Final Cut opened it. Unfortunately, it opened it in the viewer and I do not know how to get it to the Browser and the TimeLine, where I can add the great effect which I want. It did play in the viewer.
I then tried going directly from Still Life to Quick Time Pro and again got a movie that Final Cut would open and which would play in the viewer. This time the sequence did seem to appear in the Browser, but, Item Properties Sequence 1, while showing correctly much data about the sequence, was blank when it came to size.
My Final Cut Pro is an upgrade from Final Cut Express HD 3.0, so I opened the same movie in FCE. Same result. Looked good in the viewer, as my consolation prize.
Given that few of you travel this path, I am not overly optimistic about chances for a solution. But I thought I would ask. Gentlemen? Ladies?

I'm the grumpy guy around here. It just seems to me that everyone expects to install FC Studio and be Dede Allen overnight. Just rubs me the wrong way is all. There's a pretty steep learning curve with Studio, especially for someone who wanders in from left field (OH, wait, Rand-- right field) and I certainly expect someone to at least TRY before asking the most basic questions. I've been working with this program since version 1 and I'm still learning things about it.
The dsr-11 is a little workhorse of a deck. It's a real basic unit-- no vu meters, timecode or user bit display etc. But for getting your DV material into and out of fcp it's just fine. I've had mine for over 5 years now and it's steady as a rock. I've never had ANY issue with it. TIP OF THE DAY: Don't get clumsy and knock the door off. And insert small tapes gently. It takes it's time with tape insertion, unlike an old 3/4 or beta sp deck where you can slam tapes in and out without a second thought.
Yeah, the manuals are pithy, but you know, there is a lot of great stuff to be learned from them. One of the things I love about fcp is that there are multiple ways to do any one thing, depending really on your workflow and methodology, and basic approach to a computer system. you can find things in pulldown menus, by keystroke commands, in folders in the browser. Actually it's easy to teach your self to skim the manuals-- there always seems to be an intro page or pages that describe in excruciating detail a particular function. If you grasp that, or know already WHAT the function is, you can skim forward to the HOW.
DO learn the keyboard as much as you can. Dragging clips around is a sloppy way to work, in my never very humble opinion.

HT4168 epub: I'd like to create chapters for the TOC but don't want the new chapter to begin on a new page. I'd like it to begin on the same page as the prior chapter. How can I do that?

How can I do this? I currently have my TOC chapters listed as Apples, Oranges, and so on. But my text chapters begin something like this:
1
Apples
2
Oranges
I have "Apples" with header 1, "Oranges" with header 1, etc., so that very nicely in the TOC it is listing my topics as the chapters. However, within the body of the document, 1 appears on one page and "Apples" begins at the top of a new page, separated from "1"; 2 appears one one page and "Oranges" appears at the top of the next page (separated from the "2), and so on.
Because of the way the book is structured, I need to have the chapter numbers on a top line and the chapter topic beneath it. (The book is further subdivided, such as 1.3a, 1.3b, etc.)
What I would like is for the TOC to indicate my chapters as Apples, Oranges, etc., but for the chapter text to begin as indicated above.
How can I do this? Thanks.

Peter, I styled the wording of the chapter title (e.g. apples) with my heading1 styling and my sub-chapter titles were heading2. The text is a different font, different color, different size, different everything. It seems that the epub program has an automatic format to start a new page with each new header. That's what I'm trying to work around. (Originally I styled both the numeral and the chapter title as "heading 1" and it gave each a different page!)
I am in the process of removing all headers and styling everything manually (which is how it was originally) just to avoid this problem.
I'm having my e-book done through a publisher (this will be self-published), so I'll be giving them a .docx and they'll convert it to .html (filtered) then .epub. so I need something that creates my Table of Contents as I'd like it, without messing up the text of the book.
I can give them a list of what I want in the Table of Contents, and have them manually do it, but the TOC may or may not come out how I want it to come out. My preference is to have something automatic. I wanted the sub-units (heading 2) in the TOC but that will never work since I have over 200 of them and it's too much for them to do manually. It's a very slow process.

My iMac 20 inch 2.4 has developed a very annoying flicker. It looks like somebody is messing with the brightness but than really quick. Any ideas on how to solve this problem ?

My almost four year old iMac 20 inch 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo has recently been giving me a headache. The screen is flickering a lot. It looks like somebody is messing with the screen brightness at a really fast rate. I have no idea what it could be but have tried to recalibrate the screen, stopped certain dashboard apps, even changed the desktop picture and screensaver. Has anybody else had the same problem or could somebody help me in getting rid of this flicker. It feels like it is a software issue as it happens intermittently rather than continuous.
Pleas help me !

I am travelling in the USA and have an iPad mini, I would like utilise data for on the go but can not find a SIM card and prepaid provider unless I havs US credit card, I can get a ekit Global data plan but are expensive for frequent usage ? Options

Does anyone have any options.

I have not used them, but you can try: http://mobileaccessusa.com/mifi_rent.html
I have successfully used comparable services like this in Europe. Google "MiFI rental USA". The advantage of using a MiFi device is that you can connect multiple devices at once - usually up to 5.
