I'm trying out the environment.....

...And I have a question. For the Audio Objects that become Audio tracks, what would one use the cabling feature for? Examples would be great!
I haven't used the environment up until today because I always looked at it like opening up my sound board and blindly moving things around. I received the macprovideo logic bundle for christmas and just got around to the Environment video and am really less afraid now then I was yesterday. So I thought I would jump in.
Thanks.

X-man,
Ah, the environment. Fresh air, beautiful countryside, the place where boys and girls of all ages can experience the thrill of Cable Junction where faders, buttons, cable splitters, and transformers are at your beck and call. Holiday packages start at $999!
On "blindly moving things around"... ;-)
The first thing to know is that the environment is really one big space -- like a warehouse -- where all of the various environment objects are stored (instruments, transformers, audio objects, and so on). In a typical setup there are dozens of objects, and if you were forced to view them all at once it would be a bit overwhelming and require a lot of scrolling to navigate through them. So to make it easier to deal with all of these objects, the environment has what are called "layers"; each layer is like a floor in multi-story warehouse. Audio objects are all housed on one floor, the instruments on another floor, and so on.
There is a special layer called the "all objects" layer which shows you the warehouse's entire inventory. When you view this layer and 2-click on one of the items listed, it will switch to the layer where that object was placed.
But layers aren't like walled rooms with no way in or out. Cables can be freely run between objects in different layers. So you can create a button in, say, your Clicks & Ports layer for the purpose of bypassing FX plug-ins. You can then run multiple outputs from this one button to audio objects in the Audio Layer and even the Instrument layer, and bypass their FX plugs from the one button.
Keep in mind also that there are no hard and fast rules that dictate, for example, that an audio instrument object can only live in the Instrument layer. If you found it more convienient to view your instruments in the same layer as your audio tracks, for example, you could move them to the Audio layer. It wouldn't change anything about Logic's performance. All it does is put the instruments on the same "floor" as your audio tracks.

Anyone actually tried out the gaming performance?

Hey so I'm looking to get a new MacBook and was just hoping someone out there already to have one could slap something like the doom3 demo in just so we could hear first hand what its like. I realize its not a gaming computer and I'm not hoping for 40fps at high on graphically intense games, gaming will not be the main use of the laptop if I get one, I am just curious to hear how it is. I have actually gone throught the doom3 demo on my emac (despite the fact it is way below the requirements) with everything turned down and it wasn't bad as long as nothing onscreen moved. Anyways it would be cool to hear what game you tried, what kind of settings and whether it was smooth or a little choppy or what.
Thanks,
Steve

I installed Warcraft on my wife's new MacBook. It is the low end model (1.83ghz) with 1gb of RAM. She was happy with the performance. I was not impressed.
Here are some metrics. I bumped all settings down to the minimum. The shader options are not available as integrated intel video *****. The terrain distance option was bumped to the 1/4 position (meaning just a bit longer than the shortest viewable terrain distance). No vertical sync. Hardware cursor and mouse were both enabled.
Machine lag was not an issue. Stormwind and Ironforge both were responsive enough, even when crossing into the drop zone near the Ironforge Auction house.
The framerates were not very good though. In heavily populated areas it was looking at 14-24 frames per second. It was smooth "enough" but anything less than 24 frames makes it not look as smooth.
The framerates in other areas was better but still not great. Now, it's time for a comparison...
Her Sony Vaio V505-DX with an onboard ATI 9200 at only 32mb performs much better at the same settings. The game is always played with shaders turned on, terrain about the same and all other settings on low. It always manages at least 30 frames per second.
The machine if you're curious:

I'd say the move to using integrated video was a poor decision. I don't expect crazy performance but this move has further pushed the Mac away from mid-range gamers and potentially game developers. I would not game on one. My wife games maybe an hour or two an evening (we don't watch much TV) so this is an alright fit for her.
If Apple really wanted to bring the games to the Mac platform they would make it attractive to both parties (developers and consumers) but I don't feel they did a good job on that one.

Just tried out the .7 beta ISO...

I just grabbed the ISO off of nethat and wiped my old arch distro to install from scratch...
I had the same Grub failed to install the first time but worked perfectly the second time issue I had with the .6 base CD...
But other than that slight snag everything is working like a charm.
I pacman'd up xorg and kde and openoffice and mozilla...
I don't know if its the new KDE3.3 is faster, but seat of the pants feel is SOOO much more faster than the install i was using about 45 minutes ago....
Mozilla is opening much faster and the desktop environment is much more responsive as well
System specs, Barton3000 on NF2 mobo with 512mb pc2700....
Thanks arch devs! Can't wait to see what else is up ya'lls sleeve!

Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone restarts.
Check your work, make sure the LCD Display connector is perfectly in place.

A PPC Motion user tries out the Intel machines

Hi Guys,
Ive been seriously thinking about the intel,octo,3.0 Ghz machne as an upgrade to my current config of two PPC G5-quad, 16 gigs of ram-X1900, bla, bla, bla.
Recently I had a chance to work on 2 of those Intel machines... extensively. After several days of beating those things to death and running M3 thru the ringers this is what i came up with.
Stability:
I find that the PPC quad was far more stable than the intels running M3, In fact I found constant stalls,, crashes, and tons of little bugs depending on what your doing.
Real time playback.
Realtime playback kicked *** until I through a few layers of text at them. One project had over 90 layers w/ behaviors and stuff. and that really killed it.. actually that would kill most.
The intel machines ran cooler, and when it came to compressing tons of content it was awesome!
However, After nearly two days of trouble shooting machines, crashes, command delays and that kind of thing I was forced to take my work home to work on the PPC machines which yield a more constant, far less frustrating effortless workflow. Quick example: What took me nearly six hours to try and complete, took 4 hours delivered to client. because of the stability.
So, as bad as I want a few new Octo's stuffed with everything you can put in the thing... I think Im gonna wait for the next round of desktops. Maybe by then the marriage of software and hardware will actually meet somewhere in the middle for a less frustrating experience.

If it works......it works! There's no need to do spending where not necessary... I wish somebody told me that when I was attending art school... -_-

I am trying out the free trial photo elements 13, and i have edited some pics and now i am trying to burn the pics onto a dvd. how do i do that?

and i have a laptop computer with windows 7

iDVD can only use your startup hard disk for the "scratch space" it needs for calculations during the encoding process. 25 GB is a good average requirement, but a large project (3 or 4 hours of content) might require more.
To free up space, you will have to move items to an external hard drive and/or delete items you no longer want.
Please note that iDVD can't use and external hard drive for this "scratch space".

I am new to Firefox and was trying out the customizing tabs feature. I now have three tabs available but not the original tab that came with Firefox, just the three I added. How do I restore the original tab?

I am missing the tab that came with Firefox when I downloaded the software.

I'm trying out the Ps 30-day trial, but . . .

. . . I get a message telling me that Photoshop is downloading now . . . but then I get a message telling me, "You are running an operating system that Photoshop no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements for a full list of supported platforms." I read the requirements and it tells me that Mac 10.6.8 is one of the platforms accepted. What gives? Thanx for any insight. -Ella

Thanx for your response. Is there a Ps for Mac OS 10.6.8? I know I downloaded Ps on my computer it towards the end of last year and it worked just fine. Thanx again!

Trying out 10g Express

Hi,
Trying out the 10g Express Database, currently a DBA in MS-SQL 2005 and I think version 2005 put me over the top with its bloated way of doing things.
I downloaded the app and like how the console is 'there' all right in front of you, no guessing no assumptions by what did MS indicate here, there and such.
But I am clueless on the system. Is there a good link/book that gives me comparisons?
Such as is the Oracle SYS account similar to the SQL server 'sa' account?
Is Log archiving in Oracle like Log shipping or transaction log backup in MS-SQL?
And so forth
Thanks

Oracle and SQL Server are very different internally.
so comparision like
-- Oracle SYS account similar to the SQL server 'sa' account?
-- Is Log archiving in Oracle like Log shipping or transaction log backup in MS-SQL?
It's not accurate and properate.
This document should be able to help you.

Adding a track when out of Objects in The Environment

Hi,
I use GarageBand 2 (GB2) to get the idea down quickly when the inspiration strikes. It works perfectly for that purpose. To take a song from that initial idea to the finished product, I import the song into Logic Pro 7.1.1 (LP7).
All in all, LP7 is a very good-, comprehensive- and versatile product, but the one thing that keeps frustrating me beyond belief is "The Environment". I have read and re-read the documentation on "The Environment" several times, but I just hit a road block every time I need to add a track if I'm out of objects in The Environment (Audio, Midi or Audio Instrument). When I choose "Track -> Create With Next Instrument" and there is no "Next Instrument" left, I'm stuck.
My current workaround is that I add plenty additional "Real Instrument" and "Soft Instrument" tracks in GB2 before importing the song into LP7. The import routine takes care of setting up The Environment. But sometimes I don't add enough tracks and then I'm stuck again.
Can anyone suggest a reasonably straight forward way of adding a track once you're out of objects (Audio-, Midi- or Audio Instrument) in The Environment, please?
Thx & brgds,
...tt

Well, I've tried both of those and that's where the problems arise.
If I do "Track -> Create Multiple..." I get the error message "No more tracks available".
If I create an Audio Object in the Environment, double-click on its icon to transform it into a channel strip, and then try to assign the desired channel, only the channels that are already taken appear in the pull-down menu. If I go back to the Arrange Window and choose "Track -> Create" a new track is created given the same name and linked to the same Audio object and channel as the previously last Audio track. Going back to The Environment I still only have the same channels as before to choose from.
In GB2, in Cubase and in Sonar all you have to do is create a new track and choose whether you want it to be an Audio track or a Midi track. I just don't get why it has to be so complicated in Logic?
What am I doing wrong?

PDA is under the environment of Jeode, carry out applet question with swing

Purpose : Under the environment of Jeode in PDA, links APPLET webpage on websites, and APPLET is " import javax.swing. *".
Question: Not knowing the problem of how to go to solve swing bug of applet , it is unable to read webpages to cause pda.

Right. Make "number" a field, and take it out of the
method signature for paint.
Because you didn't use the same signature, you didn't
override the existing paint(Graphics) method, you
just overloaded it. That means that when the GUI
thread tries to make your applet paint itself, it
calls the original paint(Graphics) method, and not
your paint(Graphics, int) method -- and so your
method never gets called.
Hi Paul,
Not to sure whether is this what you mean by above statement, i just understand the statement in bold, anyway i ammend the program , this time i declare another variable outside the init() and paint() call int num
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Draw extends JApplet
    int num;
    public void init()
    \\ask user for input (1, 2 or 3) = String numberStr
    num = Integer.parseInt(numberStr)
    public void paint(Graphics page)
        for (int index = 0; index < 100; index++)
        switch (num)
        \\ my statement code
}Anyway it works, thanks..:)

I have had to erase my disk since then with trouble with Apple Store not recognising my machine and the reload from Time Machine has given complications . Can you please cancel my trial and return my Trial money.

If you paid for what you used then it was not a trial.

My earpeice on my Iphone4 does not work. It acts as if i still have earphones plugged in. I have tried plugging in and out the earphone several times but it still has not resolved the issue. I have rebooted my phone but the problem still exits. Suggestion

Hi, I am using and Iphone 4 with OS 4.2.1, I recently started facing issues with my iphones earpeice. It acts as if the earphones are still connected. I have tried plugging in and out the earphones several times as per several posts confirming a fix for the issue, however i am still facing the problem. Please suggest..!!!!

We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE! After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
Hope this helps!

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

I'm trying out the environment.....
