Input devices for drawing?

im just getting started with Flash cs3. it is difficult to
draw with a mouse. what are other input device options for drawing
and animation?

Wacom is by far the most popular and in my opinion the best
for all computer drawing. Intuos is their line which most
professionals favor. The size is a matter of personal comfort. I
use the 9x12 tablet, but many of my colleagues find it too large,
making them move their arms and shoulders too much when drawing.
They opt for the 6x8. Check it out here:

There are other tablet manufacturers, but I've never tried
those. I've mostly seen them used for handwriting input or by
people writing in East Asian languages (Chinese, etc.)

Can I use a MIDI keyboard as an input device for a software instrument?

I have a Casio CTK-2100 that I am currently playing around with in Logic Pro 9. It can record and playback the different instruments fine using MIDI tracks. But I was wondering if it is possible to use the keyboard as an input device for a software instrument instead of the "Step Input Keyboard".
Is it? If so, how do I set it up?

Yes, the terminology can be a bear, many, many years ago when I started using Logic the manuals were written completely by the programmers, while they were quite humorous in places the were also really hard to understand so I learned/realized.. you can't really do anything so wrong it's going to destroy your computer so why not go ahead and experiment. I learned the basics of Logic without a manual, months later when I went back to find some some details I could figure out the manual made a lot more sense.
Logic has been somewhat Appleized but it's not really an Apple program, it was purchased almost as developed as it is now... a lot of the additions a fluff to make it easier to understand for new users while at the same time there are some real improvements.
This is personal opinion: With all of the forums/online tutorials...etc...etc. It seems users are learning (but not understanding) the same things, plus everyone wants to use it right away so nobody takes a deep breath and investigates on their own. Logic is a deep, deep program, while learning don't be afraid to go off on a tangent and explore the program without any other input, it can actually be inspirational. One other thing good about the manual or "Online Help", in looking up a function you will invariably come across a related concept that will provide further insight.
And..... have fun.

10.4.10 Update kills most USB audio input devices for iChatAV

I have a Logitech Quickcam 5000 Pro that has a built in Mic. The UVC compliant camera still works, but under 10.4.9 the mic worked also; however, it no no longer shows up as an audio input device.
Intel Mac Mini 2GB RAM / MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Add another to the pile, slightly different: No audio support for my FIREWIRE based audio interface.
Running 10.4.10, software update installed.
OSX recognizes it, at any sample rate I want to use it at.
Sound setup, everything else (my whole entire studio) recognizes it.
iChat AV, when I go to the video tab to select "microphone" will give me default of none and then my device name (mLAN audio network). As soon as I select my device, the microphone option disappears completely. The only way to get the selection option back is to restart iChat, upon which the problem repeats itself.

USB Keyboard Multimedia keys ; two input devices for one keyboard.

Hi. I can't get my multimedia keys to work (Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop USB keyboard). They don't show up in dmesg, xev, or the command line scan code program at all, even though the standard keys show as usual.
One peculiarity is that the keyboard appears to be mapped to two devices /dev/input/event3 (the standard keys) and /dev/input/event4 (the multimedia keys) ; is there a way to "merge" the two inputs ? Is it a kernel problem ?
TIA, Paul

I solved my problem :-)
Keyboard creates two event devices:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 lip 17 12:57 pci-0000:00:1a.1-usb-0:1:1.0-event-kbd -> ../event1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 lip 17 12:57 pci-0000:00:1a.1-usb-0:1:1.1-event- -> ../event2
I had only first of it configured in xorg.conf (normal keys). I configured second device as below (Identifier "Multimedia keys"):
# Core keyboard's InputDevice section
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech Media Keyboard 600"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Keyboard-event-kbd" # it is my event1
Option "XkbModel" "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "pl"
Option "evBits" "+1"
Option "keyBits" "~1-255 ~352-511"
Option "Pass" "3"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Multimedia keys"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1a.1-usb-0:1:1.1-event-" # it is my event2
Option "XkbModel" "evdev"
Option "Protocol" "evdev"
EndSection
In Serverlayout I added entry for InputDevice "Multimedia keys":
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Dual Head"
InputDevice "Logitech MX620" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Logitech Media keyboard 600" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Multimedia keys" "SendCoreEvents"
Screen "Desktop"
EndSection
And almost all multimedia keys started to work.
I had small problems with couple of keys which created keycodes greater than 255. I used keyfuzz to remap these keycodes to something smaller than 255.
After that i scaned all keycodes with xev, and mapped them to keysymlinks with xmodmap.
Now all media keys are working and I can configure KDE to use it.

How do I use my iPad as the display and input device for my Mac Mini?

I plan to have the following stereo configuration:
Integrated amplifier with USB input that supports up to 24/192 audio, the Peachtree Nova 125
Mac Mini with USB connection to amp, wifi to the Internet, housed in the equipment cabinet with the integrated amp, no other music source. No display or keyboard connected to the Mac Mini.
I would like to use my iPad as the display and to control the Mac Mini to run Pandora, iTunes, Spotify, podcasts, etc.
Anyone have success with this general configuration?

You need a set of apps (one for iPad and another for computer) like Team viewer or Go to my PC

SCORE: alternative input devices for score symbols, etc.

I discovered something really useful to me today, and I'd like to share it with all you score guys (though this has application for non-score operations also).
I've been on this quest recently for a dedicated, alternate USB device to invoke key commands that normally require holding down modifiers. F'rinstance, on my system, CNTRL-SHIFT-A adds an accent. But with this "holy grail" device I've been looking for, this key combo would be invoked by a single keystroke. However, either the hardware I've been looking at (such as PI Engineering's X-Keys) or software (such as QuickKeys) don't or won't work for me for various reasons.
But I do have this little $25-$30 Kensington 10-key keypad sitting here. It's basically a device that duplicates the function of the 10-key keypad of the standard Apple keyboard. And I found today that it's "1" key can be programmed to invoke a different key command than the "1" key on the Apple keyboard's built-in 10-key keypad. Furthermore, the above-the-Q "1" key can be programmed for a third function.
So now I've got my 10-key keypad on the left, mouse on the right, and as I select notes with the mouse I can hit a single key on this keypad and add accents, staccato, slurs, crescendi, and other things, all with a single keystroke. It's pretty cool, thought I'd share.

For anyone interested in this, the brilliant answer given to me by Doug over at LPH is that you can transpose the Staff Styles which changes the chord symbols as well...

Record with 2 USB input devices for 2 different tracks?

Hi guys. I just bought a Snowball ICE. Sounds great. I went to use that on one track and my Apogee Jam on a different (guitar) track at the same time and every time I switch the input in the "info" area to one input for one track it changes them on both. HOw can I set it to record the guitar through the Apogee Jam on one track and record through the Snowball on another track? Need help soon have some recording to do this weekend! THanks.

2.6.32 - Changed input device for IBM Trackpoint?

heya,
I have a Lenovo X200 Tablet PC.
Previously, I had vertical trackpoint scrolling enabled, as per the instructions here:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_co … ev_and_HAL
Anyhow, I upgraded to the 2.6.32 kernel, and noticed that vertical trackpoint scrolling wasn't working.
I did a "lshal", and it seems like the device name changed from "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint", to "PS/2 Generic Mouse", for some reason (mentioned briefly in that wiki). I was just wondering, is there a reason that the device changed from 2.6.31 to 2.6.32? Any other side-effects of this change?
Cheers,
Victor

heya,
damjan: Yes, the rmmod/modprobe trick does work. However, are you suggesting that Arch should add this to it's suspend/resume scripts?
Or that user's do this? Because if it's the latter, that's quite clearly ridiculous. You can't expect users to do something like that - and it's little caveats like this that are going to forever stymy Linux's growth in the desktop arena.
I'm not sure, but from the kernel report, it does appear to be bug, and something they'll fix, as opposed to something the user has to do.
Cheers,
Victor

Nokia Lumia 720 as a touchscreen input device to W...

Dear all.
I have been owning a Lumia 720 since June-2013 and can safely say now that it was an excellent choice.
I would like to use the lumia as a touchscreen input device for my Win-7 laptop. Idea is that the laptop connects to lumia over USB. A drawing app opened on win-7 laptop automatically opens a remote client on the lumia. Stuff that I draw on the lumia using a stylus appears on the laptop.
The biggest driver for this request is that a lot of discussions happen at workplace with colleagues in global locations. Explaining concepts using MS-Paint/MS-Visio while effective is not entirely efficient. So is there a way that I could draw on the lumia and share the drawings over netmeeting/livemeeting?
Regards
Prakash

It may be a bit of a cludge , but you could also use photo beamer and screen shots to share via any web connected screen and if the 720 gets Black at any point the whole phone interface will work on any web enabled screen which would hopefully do exactly what you require.

Logic Pro 8 won't allow me to select Novation nio 2/4 as input device...

Hi
Can someone please advise about this problem? It used to work fine a while back, but I don't know what's happened since then - under Preferences > Audio > Devices > Core Audio the nio 2/4 shows up, but when I try to select it as my input device for for an audio track all I get to choose from is Input 1 and 2 - no nio 2/4...
I'm stumped... Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
Eye.

Hey Erik
After fiddling around I discovered that I can actually use the Nio - I just have to select Input 2 - it doesn't show up as Nio 2/4 like it does in Garageband... Can't remember if it ever did to be quite honest - as I said I haven't worked in Logic for a while so I really need to get up to scratch!

Mac GarageBand with iOS MIDI Input Device???

I was walking by a One-on-One at an Apple Store today, and the Apple guy had GB on an iMac but had an iPhone with a keyboard display adding notes to the GB song on the Mac. I thought, "Whoa, I didn't know you could do that with a Mac and iOS device." (both with GB installed).
Well, I can't seem to figure out how to do that. I'm thinking it wasn't GB on the iPhone at all, and I can't remember if the iPhone had any wire connections or not.
What I want to do is to use the iPad as an input device for a song on the Mac, especially for drums. The drum input on the Mac is ridiculous in that it only shows a keyboard and you have to randomly guess on what key makes what drum sound. Right now, I use the iPad that at least shows the parts of a drum kit next to a piano key, and then I use this to input drum tablature into a song. Then I upload the song to iCloud, and then open that on the Mac side, and my drums are there.
So, *is* there a way to use an iPhone or iPad as a MIDI device (or whatever) to input music from a keyboard or drums into GB on a Mac, wired or wireless?

Yes. I mean that it goes into the lock screen and I didn't notice if it happens after a minute or more.
When you unlock the device (after the standby) if the phones-output is connected to an audio-system like as an hi-fi or a mixer the mobile makes a spike that makes the garage band useless for live playing. The spike is not a bug of garageband, the bug is that there should be the possibility to setup garageband to not go into standby.
On the other side, garage band has an amazing hammond organ which is named "Soul organ" and it's not good when using its default settings but if you set the distortion to 0 (minimum level) it's just amazing! After this, try to set the rotation to fast and just enjoy! It's the leslie. Nothing less compared to a PC sound module.
I don't like the piano of Garageband because it's too bright. I prefer the ones of iRig SampleTank.
Furthermore, iRig SampleTank support also different tones for different tracks and you can load/save preset of sound. I have still to find a way to play piano + slow strings together because I have the sample tank basic version + piano suite but I want to buy all the tones suite. It costs about €30 which is more expensive that GarageBand but it works!
Hope this can help you.

HT1338 Does anyone have a fix for the error message "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer one or more of your USB devices have been disabled" - this is a brand new machine with nothing connected to the USB ports - i've done u

Hi
does anyone know how to fix the message on my iMac:
"Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled."
This is a brand new machine and did not have anything attached to the USB ports"
Thanks for any help

If you are getting that message on a brand new Mac with nothing connected to the USB ports, take it back. It is broken.

Dv6-LT069av has a input connector for mic or other input devices, to connect a LP player

Pavillion dv6 has an input connector for mic or other input devices next to headphones connector on left side, to connect a LP player or other device thru the mic connector, what kind of cable is required? I used an RCA to male cord but no input on the notebook. And how to make it record from that mic input connector? Any settings need to be changed in Win7 to make it work? Thanks in advance.

Get one of these ...
http://www.amazon.com/Audiovox-Corporation-CRF907-RCA-Modulator/dp/B0014KKV7W/ref=dp_cp_ob_e_title_0
Connect the RF (Coax) output of the STB to the Coax-in on the modulator
Connect the Coax-out on the modulator to the TV
Connect the Video-out and Audio-out RCA jacks on the DVD/VCR to the Video-in and Audio-in on the modulator.
The STB signal will flow thru the modulator and allow you to watch TV as normal.
When you turn the DVD/VCR on, the modulator will sense the signal coming from the device and override the signal and inject it onto the coax (converting it to RF first) so that it shows up on the TV instead of the STB output. When you're done and turn the DVD/VCR off, the signal from the STB will automatically return to the TV.

Using different input devices in different tracks for simultaneous

I would like to record voice over a microphone and guitar through line input on separate tracks simultaneously. For the life of me I can't figure out how to do this most simple and basic task.

You need a external audio interface capable of multiple inputs (something like this, for example: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrackUSB.html).
Then set +input 1+ for the first track, +input 2+ for the second one.
Please excuse my bad english
