Inspire 1394 question.

Santa was nice enough to bring me an Inspire 1394 for Christmas this year. After installing on the software that come with it, it seems to work fine with GarageBand. I have one question though.Is it possible to record multiple tracks simulatneously with the Inspire using GarageBand? If it is possible, how do I go about doing that?
(I'm trying to record guitar and vocals at the same time, onto seperate tracks.)
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer!

My apps don't hear FireWire sound from Presonus Inspire 1394

Dear Folks,
OK, the saga continues. Bought a Presonus Inspire 1394 A-D -> Firewire unit for digitizing my vinyl. Got it hooked up to my stereo and my MacBook Pro fine. Directed Audio MIDI setup to make this the default input and output device. Ditto with MacOS's Sound control panel. Set the sample rate to 48kHz, 24 bit. Unit plays just fine, VU meters in the Inspire control panel look good, output through my speakers sounds good.
MacOS Sound control panel says I've got input-- nice signal on the VU meter. But I can't get audio in any app I try. Audacity, CuBase, GarageBand, all silent. OK, I've got insignificant experience with the last two, I'm the first to admit it. But I can follow instructions, and I had Audacity configured to work previously. But when I tell it to use the Inspire for I/O, there's nothing on the monitors, the VU meters, or in a recording. Just dead air.
So, what have I got set wrong?

Dear Po,
Basic questions are OK. I figured this has to be one of those "is it plugged in?" stumbling blocks.
And you got me to the right plug!
I checked the track info panel, and it's set to Inspire input channels 1 & 2 (front panel mike/instrument inputs), instead of 3 and 4 (back panel phono/line inputs)!
I changed it to channels 3 & 4 and it records just fine.
(Now I gotta figure out how to make those the input channels in my other apps... but at least I know the problem fix.)
Thanks! And g'night.

MacPro + Inspire 1394 = Kernel Panic

Hello there,
I'm experiencing an issue with a Mac Pro (2.66 GHz) running Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.1) and the Inspire 1394 box (it's an external sound card that you connect to your Mac with a FireWire 400 cable). Each time I plug it into the Mac Pro, it produces a Kernel Panic. But if you shut the computer down, plug the Inspire box and restart the Mac, nothing bad happens.
I'm looking for a fix though, because, as I remember, FireWire is ment to be plug & play, not shutdown, plug, restart and finally play. As I was still running Tiger, there was no Kernel Panic.
Also note that there's no specific driver needed for using the Inspire 1394, as it's compatible with Core Audio.
Here's the Kernel Panic Report:

I hope that Apple will fix this soon (in 10.5.2 please ?).

Yep, not consistently, but happens enough to cause major problems. It happened almost right out of the box, as soon as I finished installing Logic 8, crash... Brought my firepod directly to presonus, had some sort of bad chip which they replaced. Thought that would totally fix it, not as many panics but it is still there.
It does seem to be mostly associated with wake from sleep, but not always as some of the other threads have pointed out.
This has never happened with my powerbook, running logic since 2005.

QUicktime 7.2 Pro Player no longer sees my Inspire 1394

After updating to QTPro 7.2 I'm no longer able to use my Presonus Inspire 1394 as an input device. It only does it in QTPlayer. Logic, Soundtrack, Garageband and even iChat see it as a valid input device. Definitely a bug.
I thought it might be a corrupted system so I spent a day reformatting, reinstalling etc. Worked great under 7.1.6. Ran the 7.2 update, no more Inspire.
Hope Apple gets this fixed soon. I'm using Soundtrack now to do my simple recordings that normally would be done in QTPro.

Do an A&I install, update to 7.1.6 and wait for a version that works. You should really clone your system to a bootable disk with Super Duper then when you run into these problems, boot into the clone and then clone that good system back. I have clones for all my macs and do this regularly.

Help: Computer does not recognize Inspire 1394!!

I have an Inspire 1394 Audio Interface. Until recently I had no problems using it with GarageBand. A few days ago when I plugged the Interface into the computer (via firewire port) not only does GarageBand not recognize it, but the software for the Inspire 1394 does not recognize it either, it just says "No Device." I know my firewire port works, so I know that isn't the problem. I suppose the firewire cable I'm using could be bad, but that seems unlikely to me.
Does anyone have any advice to help the computer detect the interface?
Any help you can provide will be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you

I had this hapen the other day and I just unplugged and replugged the firewire cable and all was good. Not much help, but in case you didn't try it...

From USB to IEEE-1394: question about HD capture, editing, sharing.

I’m new to editing video but have a question about capturing video into Premiere Elements 7. I have been using a Canon HF11 which shoots only in HD and only has USB output to copy video to my desktop. I don’t have a Blu-ray burner yet but I have burned a few projects to DVD, shared video on YouTube, and saved files in .avi and .mpeg to view on computer screens. But obviously I’m missing out on sharing HD on disk at this time. I just bought a Canon XH A1s which shoots both HD and SD on miniDV tapes. And uses IEEE-1394 cable for capturing (to Pre7). I did a 3 minute test project in SD and burned it on a DVD disk. I was very pleased at the results and the ease of editing. I don’t have any HD tapes yet, but when I do what differences will I experience from shooting in HD and then capturing, editing, then to sharing? My current HD processes with the HF11 is slow, occasional low-resources warnings, and less then pleasing results on DVD disks. Thanks for any and all comments and/or suggestions.

Your HF11 is AVCHD format and the Canon XH A1 is HDV MPEG2. AVCHD takes a lot more computer horespower to edit compared to HDV MPEG2... main reason being that AVCHD is more highly compressed giving small file sizes. This is also why you get the low resource and memory alarms while editing.
To shoot HD you do not need HD miniDV tapes you can use the standard miniDV tapes. However the HD tapes are supposed to give fewer drop-outs than the standard tapes but are considerable more expensive. With DV-AVI a drop out would be hardly noticed, but as HDV MPEG2 is a compressed format and the picture relies on information in a number of frames any drop-outs can give a second or so of bad video. That said I have had very few issues with drop-outs. If you are doing a wedding or something important that you do not want to risk then probably better to use a HD miniDV tape.
In the past the advise has been to capture in high definition to get the best quality and then downconvert in the camcorder and capture in DV-AVI... the reason being that older versions of Premiere Elements did not do a good job of the down conversion. Reports on PE7 indicate it is better and that you could use a HDV workflow and burn to DVD as a last stage. This also allows you to export a high definition version of your video to view on a monitor where you can appreciate the higher resolution. Or in the future when you have a Blu-ray burner and player you can burn the file to disc... save doing all the editing all over.

Cant use my presonus inspire 1394 interface with mavericks? any help out there???

Can anyone get they're persons inspire sound card to work on lion?

I've just bought a brand new macbook pro running 10.7 and i cant seem to get my presonus inspire 1394 soundcard to sync with it, the soundcard uses a firewire 400 cable and I've got a 400 to 800 cable (i think)
any help would be massivly appreashiated.

This forum is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, and doesn't get much traffic. Hence it's not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the Mac OS X 10. 7 forum or the MacBook Pro forum; you'll be more likely to get assistance there.
Regards.

Huge Latency Issue PRESONUS INSPIRE

I'm relatively new to Logic Express 8. While using the Presonus Inspire 1394 Firewire audio interface, I am running into a noticeable amount of latency.
Can anyone help?

Would it be possible to post your solution? I'm thinking of getting the same interface & suprisingly, do not enjoy troubleshooting sytem glitches.

Moving Logic 9.7.1 to Mountain lion

Hi,
I was just about to purchase a Mac Mini Server with Lion for running Logic projects, and then noticed over the last few days they have updraded to Mountain Lion.
I know that so far my Audio unit isn't tested (Inspire 1394), and I might have problems with some other plug-ins. But the thing that concerns me most is that I have read reports that people are having problems loading Logic 9.7.1 (which I am currently running on Snow Leopard), into Mountain Lion. Apparently you are asked for the original key which I don't have. I do have the upgrade to Logis Studio disks.
I'm a litlle confused: Anyone have problems moving their Logic 9.7.1 to Mountain Lion on a new machine?
**I did ask a similar question a while ago regarding moving to Lion, but this time I have no choice but to upgrade now as my current system is really creaking, and I think the Mac mini server is perfect for my needs.

I'm between projects so I went ahead and purchased the Mac Mini Server. It actually came (within two days) loaded with Lion not Mountain Lion.
I'm keeping my Macbook Pro around for a while just in case.
Set it up with monitor OK. The wireless keyboard and my mouse were picked up pretty quickly.
Loaded in my Logic Studio upgrade disk, and right away it asked for my serial number. I typed this in and then it asked for my old serial number or key, which I don't have. I called Apple and they asked for proof of purchase from the old version. I explained that this was from many years ago (2005) and I didn't have any records. Apple settled for proof of purchase from the upgrade. Luckily I'd saved these details online. Apple then gave me a new serial number and I was in. At first the disk was rejected for some reason, but another try and it worked all loaded. The demo song wouldn't play at first, but worked after a software update.
So far everything works. The only problem is that I can't locate some third party loops from in my Macbook Pro I have purchased, and Logic has crashed while going through some of the samples I've copied over.
I'm doing a proper test run today, so will report back with any problems.
Thanks.

I CANT HEAR MYSELF WHILE RECORDING!

im running with both audition 1.5 and 3.0, tried both, neither one will let me hear myself while im recording...my mic is directly plugged into a presonus inspire 1394, as well as my headphones...but i cannot hear myself!...
please help, this is driving me nuts!

Hmm... haven't had to scroll the screen for such a short question before! I'm afraid you get the answer in normal size text though.

Direct monitoring is a function of your Presonus, not Audition. So, you need to read the manual and find out how to set it up on its control panel. You can monitor through the software in Audition 3.0 but this introduces latency, because you have to process everything in and out via the OS, and generally the delays are unacceptable. So for normal purposes, this is done via the direct link in your sound device, which introduces no latency at all.

Will the iMac recognise more than 2 mics?

Hi guys,
I'm thinking about updating my mixer (which my Mac only recognises 2 mics with) for something else, like the Firewire etc.
Does anyone have any recomendations for a good, affordable mixer/interface that I could use 3 or 4 mics with (at the same time)?
Hope everyone's well,
Tony xxx

Ta Hang, that is a piece of kit!
If anyone is interested, while looking for the same solutions, i found a 4 channel pocket sized version!

also 8 track usb mixer
http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/5407
($200)
or 8 track firewire mixer
http://www.jbsmusic.co.uk/view/1051/
($300)
(plus read on....)
But I have anoher question....
As the iMac has a stero mic, and 3 usb sockets....
....Can you buy 3 usb mics, a stereo splitter and simultaneously record five audio channels?
That would give me just enough for bass, guitar, vox and 2 drums.....
or if i had a firewire 4 channel mixer, could that give me nine?
How many audio tracks CAN Garageband record at the same time?

Help: consuming an external web service with user name token

Hello Together!
I need to consume an external web service secured with WS-UserNameToken. The way, how did I do it:
1. I generated a web service consumer (proxy) in SE80 from the wsdl file
2. I created logical port for the consumer in SOAMANAGER
3. I created security profile in WSSPROFILE with telpmate SET_USERNAME and assigned it to consumer operation in LPCONFIG (I use LPCONFIG, because I didn't find any way to do it in SOAMANAGER)
3. I called the web service and got the error back: session token is missing or invalid or has inspired
My questions are:
1. is this possible to consume an external webservice in SAP, which is secured with WS-Usernametoken?
2. do I need therefore any settings in java stack? do I need java stack in general?
3. Is this any way to configure the consumer without writing programs, which set header parameter manually?
4. if the answer on the third question is no, do you have any examples, how to implement session management in report? (I mean sending session id and checking the validaty of id)
I appriciate any help of you!
best regards Anna

Hi,
it should be possible to use WS-UserNameToken for consuming web service. It should be available on AS BAP 7.0 and higher. This profile should be under category Document authentication. You can try to dump a message send from SAP to see what is going out of SAP. This should be supported in ABAP so you don't need a Java stack. What exactly do you want to configure? Do you want to just set user name and password for that service which will be used for any calls of that proxy?
Cheers

How do I make a utube video full-screen in iweb?

Hello,
Is there a way to make a utube video that is on my iweb-built website, full screen?
Everything about the videos I have imported from utube works fine, except when I click on the full-screen icon...nothing happens.
View the videos (2) here: http://www.lakesweddingmusic.com/Welcome.html
What inspired this question was coming across a site where there is an imported utube video that does go to full-screen, when asked!
The website is here: http://talentgb.com/users/peter-brown-wedding-party-pianist and it's a site which features exactly the same video as one of the ones on my own site - it's a promotion ste for musicians. (You have to scroll down the page to just over half way down to view the video).
Maybe I'm missing some important HTML that will allow full-screen?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi OT,
Thanks for your reply.
My HTML ebedded code is:
<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/a7Cu2n1mAYg?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
As you can see, it includes 'allowfullscreen', but not ' ="true" '. I thought that maybe the exclusion of the phrase ' ="true" might make a difference, until I discovered the embedded code is the same in both videos:
http://talentgb.com/users/peter-brown-wedding-party-pianist contains exactly the same code as the video at:
http://www.lakesweddingmusic.com/Welcome.html Yet talentGB allows full screen, but Lakesweddingmusic (my own site, built using iweb) does not.
Could this be something to do with Mountain Lion not 'liking' certain aspects of iweb?

Looking to record 3 XLR Mics

I've been doing my homework on bringing in three separate voice tracks into GB, since that allows for greater post-production flexibility. However, it looks like all the manufacturers are all about 2 mic inputs. Crap!
Based on some snooping around here, it seems that PreSonus and M-Audio are the two favorites (please correct me if I'm wrong). We've got the FirePod (8 XLR inputs) at $800, FireBox (2 XLR inputs) at $300 and some M-Audio deal (2 XLR inputs) at $400. Again, if someone has some recommendations here, I'd appreciate them.
So, I'm faced with $800 for the FirePod (which comes with the official HangTime seal of approval™) with room to grow or try to string two FireBox's together at $600 and run the risk of complications created by two firewire audio devices plugged in.
Wadda guys think?
GarageBand 3

First off, Good for you for doing your homework!
Now where did you see the FirePod for $800? That is WAY over list. Amazon has the Presonus FirePod for $599.
Obviously you know that I love mine ("Seal of Approval"! Ha ha, I like that) and if it's within budget, and you think your needs might grow, I'd say GFI. However if the FirePod is overkill, perhaps the Presonus INSPIRE 1394 FireWire Interface with 2 inputs for $199 would be better. The pair you need would total around $400 to get the 4 inputs
Just another option to consider.
