In need of help with workflow script...
I am currently using a DTP plugin called Layer Comps and layer groups for a DPS/ Print project. I am looking for someone to develop a script for exporting my single document into multiple documents – i am aware that there is a script for exporting spreads to pages. I would also like the script to have some additional features. If there is anyone who is capable of scripting or creating a plugin please contact me via this post. I am willing to pay – a reasonable amount, im not rich or wealthy so I do stress reasonable – but the compensation can be discussed.
In addition, I would like to learn the process of scripting as it relates to the needs I may have when teeking my workflow. If anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated.
p.s. I am using CS5
I think you should study using below book.

Need ugent help with APC and ICW
We are upgrading our Inventory and Engineering Applications to 11.5.9 to implement APC. I needed some help with the Item Creation Workflow that is shipped with APC. If someone has extensive experience with this, please send me an email-id to which I can send my questions. Any help is greately appreciated.
thanks for the response. It is a USR ring.
On the sonet ring we have 8 ONS 15454 boxes. They have 1 central site and 7 remote sites. Mojority of the Circuits go from the central site to the remote sites. Only a few circuits (STS) go from a so called remote site to a remote site. Also, we have 6500 hooked up behind every ONS box that does the routing. Is this an optinal design?? -
Help with two scripts - Mounting remote DMG and Checking which network I'm connected to
Hey guys, I need some help with two separate scripts:
1. The first script I'm trying to create to mount a DMG stored remotely on another Mac using an AppleScript or shell script. Using the following:
set cmd to "hdiutil mount 'afp://username:[email protected]/Lion/Users/username/Desktop/Test.sparseim age'"
do shell script cmd
results in the following error:
error "hdiutil: mount failed - not recognized" number 1
I'm not very experienced regarding AppleScript or using hdiutil, could somebody point out what's wrong with my script?
2. The second script I'm working on to try and essentially prevent the 'Could Not Find Server' Finder dialog when a network mount is unavailable. I guess what I'd like it to do is detect which network I'm connected to, and if I'm connected to the correct network, then mount the shares, otherwise just fail silently without any errors. From the searching I've done, using try statements should do this, but they do not, and I'm still presented with an error dialog after the server cannot be found.
Does anybody have any suggestions on this script? Also, I've seen some tips regarding detecting which wireless network the Mac is connected to, which could work, but what about when connected via Ethernet?
Thanks!Edit: I need to clarify on my first script request:
I need to mount the DMG on the remote Mac, not on the Mac I'm running the script from. -
Please help with workflow inspired SQL
Hi everyone, I need some help with a piece of sql I need to create. It will be used in a workflow scenario and is therefore a bit hairy and has some limitations. So here goes..
I have 2 current tables that will be used in this query. The first is a table used as a supervisor cross reference, and the second will be used for signing authority, or approval authorization. In short...the first table will give you the supervisor for the particular employee or employee in the where clause. This tells us who to route to. The second table has the operators authority level. As an example.... 1, 2, 3, or 4. A 1 could signify that this supervisor can approve for up to $5,000, and a 4 could signify that this person can approve up to $250,000. thats the basic idea.
So what I need to do in ONE statement is get the requestor's supervisor, and then check his/hers authority level for level 1, 2, 3 or 4. The authority level needed will be passed into the query, so I will have that as well as the requestor. And here is the hard part...... If no rows are returned (the supervisor does not have authority to approve) I need the query to apply the same logic to the next supervisor. In other words, the supervisor's supervisor. Every requestor will have a supervisor. Every supervisor will also have a supervisor....so it goes until we get to the CEO. So the query needs to keep going until it finds a row matching the signing authority.
So the limitations are......this needs to happen in one SQL query, and this query can only return ONE field!
Here are some creates and inserts to give you something to work with. Been suffering with this one for a few days so your help is GREATLY appreciated.

)Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements; that's very helpful!
Whenever you have a question, also post the results you want to get from the sample data your posted.
Always say what version of Oracle you're suing.
In the sample data you posted, I only see one row in each table. Does that really give a good picture of the problem? If the problem involves going up the chain of command 1, 2, 3 or more levels, then shouldn't you have a chain of at least 3 people to show the problem and test the results?
I think what you need is CONNECT BY Query , which works on a table with a parent-child relationship. Given a parent, you can find that ow's children, the children's children, their children, and so on, however many generations there are.
I don't think I can demonstrate this with your sample data, so I'll use the scott.emp table, whcih you should be able to query.
The emp table contains a hierarcy of employees, including this data:
NAME EMPNO MGR SAL JOB
KING 7839 5000 PRESIDENT
JONES 7566 7839 2975 MANAGER
SCOTT 7788 7566 3000 ANALYST
ADAMS 7876 7788 1100 CLERK
FORD 7902 7566 3000 ANALYST
SMITH 7369 7902 800 CLERK
BLAKE 7698 7839 2850 MANAGER
ALLEN 7499 7698 1600 SALESMAN
WARD 7521 7698 1250 SALESMAN
MARTIN 7654 7698 1250 SALESMAN
TURNER 7844 7698 1500 SALESMAN
JAMES 7900 7698 950 CLERK
CLARK 7782 7839 2450 MANAGER
MILLER 7934 7782 1300 CLERKThis show, among other things, that the employee with ename='KING' (empno=7839) has no boss.
JONES (empno=7566) does have a boss (mgr=7839), namely KING.
SCOTT (empno=7788) has a bos (mgr=7566), who is JONES.
I got the results above using this CONNECT BY query:
SELECT LPAD ( ' '
, 3 * (LEVEL - 1)
) || ename AS name
, empno
, mgr
, sal
, job
FROM scott.emp
START WITH mgr IS NULL
CONNECT BY mgr = PRIOR empno
;This is an example of a Top-Down Query , where we start with a parent, then find its children, grandchildren, and so on.
In your probelm, you want to do a Bottom-Up Query ; given a child, you want to see if its parent has a certain level of authority. If not, you need to look at that parent's parent, and keep going until to either reach someone with the right qualifications, or you reach the end of the chain of command.
That's similar to this problem: given a set of employees in scott.emp (say, everyone with job='CLERK') we want to find their closest ancestor who has a sal of 3000 or more. Look at the data above: you can see that SMITH is a CLERK, and SMITH'S boss, FORD, has sal=3000, so we want a row of output that shows SMITH and FORD.
For a different example, looks at MILLER. MILLER's boss, CLARK, only has sal=2450, so we need to look at CLARK's boss, KING.
One way to do that in a CONNECT BY query is:
SELECT CONNECT_BY_ROOT ename AS subordinate
, ename
, LEVEL - 1 AS steps_apart
FROM scott.emp
WHERE CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF = 1
START WITH job = 'CLERK'
CONNECT BY empno = PRIOR mgr
AND PRIOR sal < 3000
;Output:
SUBORDINAT ENAME STEPS_APART
SMITH FORD 1
ADAMS SCOTT 1
JAMES KING 2
MILLER KING 2You should be all set to write the query now.
Just kidding. I'll bet there's a lot of stuff in this message that's new to you. It's all documented in the SQL Language manual:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/index.htm
If you'd like help, post your version, a more complete set of sample data, and the results you want from that data.
Explain, with specific examples, how you get the results you posted from the data you posted.
Do as much of the query as you can, and post your code. -
I'm suddenly in need of help with my Firefox browser (6.0.2)
Hi there,
I'm suddenly in need of help with my Firefox browser (6.0.2)
(OS: I use Windows XP).
When I open up the browser, all I see is a completely blank white screen, with all the toolbars at the top.
I know that my physical connections are fine: I've tested the modem, turned the pc off and on etc. and I can also receive/send emails.
This problem started today, 8th September, 2011 and has never happened before.
Is it a coincidence that Firefox updated itself just before I logged off yesterday evening? Could it be something to do with this particular new update?
I've also noted that just before I "open up" Firefox, I now get a small box saying:
[JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION]
Exc In Ev handl: TypeError: This oRoot.enable is not a function
This has never appeared before - I hope it offers a clue a to what is wrong.
The Browser is not stuck in Safe Mode, by the way.
Obviously, I can't search for any solutions to the problem on the internet, as I can't physically see any websites!
(A friend is sending this query on my behalf from their pc)
Any light you could throw on this confusing problem would be much appreciated. I'd rather not have to uninstall and reinstall Firefox if possible.
If the only option is to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it from your site, then I'm also in trouble (I can't see the internet or make any downloads).
In that case, would you be able to send the .exe file as an attachment to my email address? If so, please let me know and I'll give you further details.
Many thanks in advance.A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide. -
I had the folks at the store port over all of my contacts from my old
ratty Andriod phone to my new shiny iPhone.
however all 200+ of my contacts sort of "shook" out,
meaning say John Smith, on my old phone,
had in my contacts the following:
John Smith
123 Main St. Anytown, Anystate USA
555-826-4879 home
555-799-4247 cell
[email protected]
johnsmith@facebook
all nice and neat on my andriod but when it ported over
all that information was just scattered all over my contacts sort of like:
john smith, smith john
john smith 123 main st. etc.
johhn smith home 555 etc.
john smith cell 555 etc.
john smith johnsmith@ etc.
etc.
so for all those 200+ contacts in my phone, I've got a zillion of them now...
so I'd like to get this all back in order before I and Siri explode.
I know nothing, and I know even less about outlook and the sort.
But I do know I am in Dire need of help with this... I figured that eveything else
involving iphones and apple in general was supposed to be cake but it seems
like this is the only thing that isn't cake at all... unless, I'm just a right idiot. (which is possible, hence spelling and grammatical issues).I believe I've tried to sync it with google, but it didn't seem to take
muchless take my calender. it seems to favor my facebook calender
more over my google calender, but Siri seems to be helping me re-write
it...but that's not the game here, it's the contacts. I've tried to export
the cvp (??) list and import it into my iTunes account. However, It only
doubled my issue because it didn't over write my existing contacts. -
Please I need some help with a table
Hi All
I need some help with a table.
My table needs to hold prices that the user can update.
Also has a total of the column.
my question is if the user adds in a new price how can i pick up the value they have just entered and then add it to the total which will be the last row in the table?
I have a loop that gets all the values of the column, so I can get the total but it is when the user adds in a new value that I need some help with.
I have tried using but as I need to set the toal with something like total
totalTable.setValueAt(total, totalTable.getRowCount()-1,1); I end up with an infinite loop.
Can any one please advise on some way I can get this to work ?

Need some help with a Macally enclosure and a spare internal drive
Need some help with a Macally enclousure
Posted: Oct 1, 2010 10:55 AM
Reply Email
Aloha:
I have a Macally PHR-S100SUA enclousure that does not recognise,my WD 1001fals hard drive. It has worked just fine with other internal drives, but not this one?
This is a spare internal drive that I am trying to make an external drive to store back ups for a lot of data. But so far I can not get it recognized by the computer. Maybe I need different drivers?
Any suggestions?
Dan PageHi-
Drivers aren't typically needed for external enclosures.
Macally has none listed for that enclosure.
The same is true for the WD drive, internal or external; no drivers.
With the exception of high end PM multi drive enclosures, I can't think of any that use drivers.
How is the external connected?
Have you tried different cables, different ports?
Bad/damaged cables are fairly common.
Have you verified connections inside of the enclosure? -

need some help with downloading PDF's from the net. Each time I try to click on a link from a website, if it takes me to a new screen to view a pdf, it just comes up as a blank black screen? any suggestions?
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -
Need some help with the Select query.
Need some help with the Select query.
I had created a Z table with the following fields :
ZADS :
MANDT
VKORG
ABGRU.
I had written a select query as below :
select single vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
IT_REJ is a Work area:
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
END OF IT_REJ.
This is causing performance issue. They are asking me to include the where condition for this select query.
What should be my select query here?
Please suggest....
Any suggestion will be apprecaiated!
Regards,
DeveloperHello Everybody!
Thank you for all your response!
I had changes this work area into Internal table and changed the select query. PLease let me know if this causes any performance issues?

I had removed the select single and insted of using the Structure it_rej, I had changed it into Internal table
select vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
Earlier :
IT_REJ is a Work area:
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
END OF IT_REJ.
Now :
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ occurs 0,
VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
END OF IT_REJ.
I guess this will fix the issue correct?
PLease suggest!

Need some help with threads...
Hello all,
I am working on a project at work, and I am not the best programmer in the world. I have been trying to get my head around this for a couple of days and just cannot get it to work.
I am writing an instrumentation control program that will have three threads. One is the GUI, one will receive control information and set up the hardware, and one will check the hardware status and report it to the GUI periodically. I plan on using the invokeLater() method to communicate the status to the GUI and change the status display in the GUI. Communication from the GUI to the controller thread and from the status thread to the controller thread I had planned on being piped input/output stream as appropriate. I have a control class and a status class that need to be communicated over these piped streams. In some trial code I have been unable to wrap the piped input/output streams with object input/output streams. I really need some help with this. Here is the main thread code:
package playingwiththreads1;
import java.io.*;*
*public class PlayingWithThreads1 {*
public static void main(String[] args) {*
* PipedOutputStream outputPipe = new PipedOutputStream();*
* ObjectOutputStream oos = null;*
* ReceiverThread rt = new ReceiverThread(outputPipe);*
// Start the thread -- First try*
* Thread t = new Thread(rt);*
t.start();*
// Wrap the output pipe with an ObjectOutputStream*
try*
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(outputPipe);*
catch (IOException e)*
System.out.println(e);*
// Start the thread -- Second try*
//Thread t = new Thread(rt);*
//t.start();*
/** Send an object over the pipe. In reality this object will be a
class that contains control or status information */
try
if (!oos.equals(null))
oos.writeObject(new String ("Test"));
catch (IOException e)
try
Thread.sleep(5000);
catch (InterruptedException e)
I read somewhere that it matters where you start the thread relative to where you wrap piped streams with the object streams. So, I tried the two places I felt were obvious to start the thread. These are noted in the comments. Here is the code for the thread.
package playingwiththreads1;
import java.io.*;
public class ReceiverThread implements Runnable {
private PipedInputStream inputPipe = new PipedInputStream();
private ObjectInputStream inputObject;
ReceiverThread (PipedOutputStream outputPipe)
System.out.println("Thread initialization - start");
try
inputPipe.connect(outputPipe);
inputObject = new ObjectInputStream(inputPipe);
catch (IOException e)
System.out.println(e);
System.out.println("Thread initialization - complete");
public void run()
System.out.println("Thread started");
try
if (inputObject.available() > 0)
System.out.println(inputObject.read());
catch (IOException e)
System.out.println(e);
Through testing I have determined that no matter where I start the thread, the thread never gets past the "inputObject = new ObjectInputStream(inputPipe);" assignment.
Could someone please help me with this? There are other ways for me to write this program, but this is the one that I would like to make work.
Many thanks in advance,
Rob Hix
Edited by: RobertHix on Oct 6, 2009 3:54 AMThanks for the help, but that did not work. I tried flushing the ObjectOutputStream and it is still hanging when initializing the thread.
Here is a better look at the code since I was helped to figure out how to insert it:
The main method:
package playingwiththreads1;
import java.io.*;
public class PlayingWithThreads1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
PipedOutputStream outputPipe = new PipedOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream oos = null;
ReceiverThread rt = new ReceiverThread(outputPipe);
// Start the thread -- First try
//Thread t = new Thread(rt);
//t.start();
// Wrap the output pipe with an ObjectOutputStream
try
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(outputPipe);
oos.flush();
catch (IOException e)
System.out.println(e);
// Start the thread -- Second try
Thread t = new Thread(rt);
t.start();
/* Send an object over the pipe. In reality this object will be a
* class that contains control or status information */
try
if (!oos.equals(null))
oos.writeObject(new String ("Test"));
oos.flush();
catch (IOException e)
System.out.pringln(e);
try
Thread.sleep(5000);
catch (InterruptedException e)
}The thread code:
package playingwiththreads1;
import java.io.*;
public class ReceiverThread implements Runnable {
private PipedInputStream inputPipe = new PipedInputStream();
private ObjectInputStream inputObject;
ReceiverThread (PipedOutputStream outputPipe)
System.out.println("Thread initialization - start");
try
inputPipe.connect(outputPipe);
inputObject = new ObjectInputStream(inputPipe);
catch (IOException e)
System.out.println(e);
System.out.println("Thread initialization - complete");
public void run()
System.out.println("Thread started");
try
if (inputObject.available() > 0)
System.out.println(inputObject.read());
catch (IOException e)
System.out.println(e);
}Does anyone else have and ideas? -
Need some help with ".png" image.
Good day everyone. Here's the run down. I need to add an
image (image "A") ontop of another image (image"B"). Image "B" is a
paterned background. And Image "A" a logo with a transparent
background.
As it stands I have image "A" as a "png" and as you know....
they are fri**ing huge! Haveing it as a "gif" only presents me with
the IE6 problem of it adding a colored background to the image.
So I'm stuck! Can any one tell me or point me in the
difection of a tutorial to tell me the best way to add an image
with a transparent background in Dreamweaver.
Really need some help with this!
Thanks all!>Right you can see the work in progress here>

Before going much further I'd recommend reconsidering the use
of a textured background. They are usually included for the benefit
of the site owner only, and likely to annoy visitors. Studies on
the subject suggest they often lead to usability problems. I do
like to header graphic, but at 200K it's kinda heavy and can
probably be optimized. -
Need some help with guitar setup...
jeez, never thought i'd be asking a question like this after playing for like 20 years, but i need some help with a guitar setup for mac. i'm gonna list out a lot of crap here that prolly doesn't affect anything at all, but here goes.
Imac 17inch G4 - latest updated OS X... 10.4, or 5, or whatever. garageband 3.0
digitech gnx-3
alesis sr-16
sure mic's
yamaha e203 keyboard
here's the setup:
yamaha is on its own on a usb uno midi interface, sure's connected to gnx's xlr port, alesis connected to gnx's jam-a-long input, '87 kramer vanguard connected to gnx's guitar input. currently running headphones out on gnx to line in on mac.
here's the problem:
everything works beautifully, but my guitar sounds like crap. if i plug headphones into the gnx, it sounds beautiful. that makes me think its some kind of level issue between the gnx's output, and the mac's input, but nothing seems to fix it.
by sounding like crap, i mean way too much bass. sound is muddy, blurry, not crisp... aka crap. i've tried altering both output and input on mac and gnx, and i cant get a combination that works. the gnx has a s/pdif out, can the mac accept that as input? might that help? short of running the gnx to my marshal half stack and mic'ing that, anyone have any suggestions, or use a similar setup?
any help would be greatly appreciated!anyone? ... any suggestions? I think it might be an issue with the gnx pre-amping the signal as it goes out, and then the mac amping it on the way in, giving me a buttload more signal than i need, but since i cant find a happy level, i'm not really sure. i really dont want to resort to mic'ing my marshall... even with the volume almost off, my jcm900 is WAY too loud for apartment use. its not like i really NEED the guitar to sound perfect, i only use garageband to sketch out ideas for songs between myself and bandmates, but its really annoying to not have my customary crisp distortion. my bass player keeps telling me to use the built in amps, but, not to dis a practically free program, but the built in amps blow, at least after 10 years of marshall tube amplification they do. if anyone has any suggestions that might be helpfull on how i might resolve this, i would be your best friend for life and go to all your birthday parties
