LE8 won't remember audio recording path (among other issues...)

Why won't LE8 remember the audio recording path I set for each project? Each time I open a project I've been working on (by dropping the project onto the LE8 icon in the dock-LAME) and arm a track to record, it says that that the path to the external HD is not found (-but it knows the name of the external HD somehow). I'll then open the record prefs, set the recording path correctly to my external HD and the coressponding folder, save the project, and record without incident (or at least the same incident) for the rest of my session. The next time I open the project the same thing happens.
LE7 never had this issue.... weird and annoying.

As for the specifics:
The image size is 4.31M. If I go to double the size and change nothing else, the image size jumps up to a whopping 17.2M.
If you double the dimensions of an image the area is increased fourfold – so what is the problem there?
The image dimensions are 500px x 135px, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB color. This is at 100% zoom. Those are the settings I normally use, but for some reason it’s showing the file as about half of the size it should be. (Tumblr post for comparison—they are 500px wide.)
The introduction or Retina (and other high resolution) displays and browsers actually up-scaling images to accommodate those screen resolutions seems to have confused some users about the concept of pixels.

  • IPhone won't make or receive calls, among other issues

    So I've been having a lot of problems with my iPhone 3GS. About 80% of the time it won't make calls, and about 50% of the time it won't receive calls. I'll only know if someone called me if they told me they called or left a voicemail. Every single time this happens I have full service. It's also started getting really picky about sending texts.
    I'm basically fed up at this point. I'm on my second sim card, I've taken my phone to the Apple store three times, and I've been turning it off, resetting it, and switching airplane mode on and off as a last resort. I kind of need my phone to make calls, which it for some reason does not want to do. Any suggestions anyone has about what to do are appreciated.
    Also, my phone has been having issues when it's been plugged in. I've been using the wall charger that came with the phone, yet I've gotten the message after plugging it in that it is a device that doesn't support charging. It constantly vibrates while it's plugged in as well, as though it's being unplugged and plugged back in and takes a really long time to actually charge (I had it plugged in for about 20 minutes and it went from 52% battery to 53% battery). I don't know if this is an issue with the phone or if the cable just died on me.
    Either way, this is really obnoxious. I can't wait until my contract is up so I can get an Android.

    Try cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone. A dry toothbrush is a good tool to use. Also inspect it with a magnifying glass to make sure there are no bent pins.
    You might also have a bad cable.
    For the other problems have you Restored the phone and set it up as a new phone?
    And I have to ask, just to confirm, the phone is not jailbroken, correct?

  • Set audio record path

    setting audio record path?

    Let me guess - your tempo's set to 120 and 4/4 time, right?
    The limit is on the number of quarter notes Logic can handle (8550).
    Set your song length to max (2158), reduce your tempo, and/or adjust your time signature. Example, temp 60, 4/8 time will give you 2hrs 22minutes of recording.
    good luck

  • "Audio Record Path Not Found" error and new details

    I've been having problems opening up older GarageBand files I've created and trying to add new content. When I try to record on an existing track, or in a new track, I get the error: "Audio Record Path not Found! Please enter it in the following dialog." (and there's no following dialog). I've tried to save the file as an archive, which has worked in the past, but doesn't work any longer. I'm using a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 15"
    As a test, I installed iLife 06 on my older (PowerPC-based) Mac Mini. On that computer, I'm able to open the files, and record onto an existing track. None of my recording equipment is attached to this machine, however. If I save an archive and move it to my macBook Pro, I'm still not able to add recordings to it.
    I tried reintalling GarageBand on my MBP, but I still get the same error. I've also deleted the preference files from Library > Preferences. (the two com.apple.garageband... files), and still no luck. It doesn't sound like the audio files themsleves are corrupted since I can open them on the Mini, so it's likely GarageBand. What else can I delete to make it a pristine installation?
    I don't want to use my Mac Mini for recording, as it's too slow for my editing needs, but if I can't open the files on my MacBook Pro, I'll have to re-record them.
    Anyone have any ideas I can try?

    Excellent suggestion! I actually left the files on the external USB drive on which I store them, and accessed them from my MacBook Pro (instead of moving the files to the MacBook Pro), and sure enough, I'm able to edit and add to the files!
    I still don't know why I can't access them locally on the MBP, but this workaround is certainly acceptible for my needs!
    Thanks out to everyone who helped on this thread!

  • Photoshop CC not displaying correct image sizes, among other issues.

    Hey, so I'd like a bit of help here!
    I got my new laptop from the school a couple of weeks ago and photoshop’s been funky ever since I got it. It’s a brand new Macbook, and it's running Photoshop CC.
    First things first, it won’t recognize some of the brushstrokes I make. It will show that I've made them, but they won’t show up in the history panel. I'll have to make another stroke for it to register both of them. (Making undoing things a real pain.) Also, some of the keyboard shortcuts I use won't work in a really similar way. If I go to switch to my brush by pressing b, it occasionally won't register it unless I make an additional brush stroke. This works with all of the other shortcuts I use.
    In addition, file sizes are all kinds of messed up. Here’s the most recent example. The image dimensions are 500px x 135px, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB color. This is at 100% zoom. Those are the settings I normally use, but for some reason it’s showing the file as about half of the size it should be. (Tumblr post for comparison—they are 500px wide.)
    Here’s another example. This one is 1254 x 1201, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB, shown at 100% zoom. The image size is 4.31M. If I go to double the size and change nothing else, the image size jumps up to a whopping 17.2M. I don’t feel like that’s right? I don't remember any other versions of Photoshop having images be that large.
    Maybe it’s my computer settings? Right now I have the resolution set on "best for display," but even if i use the "scaled" option and change sizes, the images are still too small.
    I don't know if I would be able to uninstall and then re-install Photoshop because the school has control over those sorts of things and there are certain programs that you cannot remove. I've tried restarting the program as well as the laptop, but neither of those helped.
    if anyone can help me, I’d really appreciate it! Thank you!

  • Capsule Not Picking Up IP Address (among other issues)

    I just received my brand new Time Capsule, and am having a heck of a time getting it working.
    I have an existing network with 3 Express stations. I unplugged them all, plugged in everything to the Time Capsule & cranked it up. In the set up, I asked it to get the settings from my existing network. Well, first it appeared to set up fine but it failed to establish an internet connection, then I couldn't even see it in Airport Utility. I unplugged everything and went back to my old config, and couldn't see any of my Express stations in Airport Utility either until I restarted my iMac.
    So I thought I would try using it to create a brand new network. I reset the Capsule, plugged in just the power, and went through the process of creating a brand new network with the Capsule as the base station. Part way though the process, I plugged in the cable modem to the Capsule. Configured using DHCP, it seemed OK, but it still couldn't establish an internet connection. Then it disappeared from being visible in Airport Utility again. I moved the ethernet connector back to my Express base and all was fine with my old network. I restarted, and still can't see the Capsule as a device in Airport, much less back up to it.
    So I can't get my Capsule to stay visible to Airport Utility for more than 2 minutes, and when it is running, it won't pick up an IP address to connect to an obviously live port.
    Now what? Right now, it's as useless as a brick. Apple used to be so straightforward, but this is anything but.

    After two weeks of trying, I still can't get my Capsule to stay visible to Airport Utility for more than 2 minutes, and when it is running, it still won't pick up an IP address to connect to an obviously live port.
    Since no one on this forum has suggestions for a fix, should I ship it back to the Apple Online store to get my money back?

  • Firefox being redirected among other issues.

  • FileVault Stuck Decrypting (Among Other Issues)

    Recently I made the mistake of trying out FileVault to encrypt the files on my MacBook Pro. Unfortunately I came to realize that this is a very tedious process that can take days to complete and slow down the performance of my machine. After trying multiple methods to either speed up the encryption process (which initially changed back and forth from "estimating time remaining" to "106 days remaining") or begin decryption through recovery mode and disk utility, I'm now stuck with a FileVault decryption status that's stuck, and a near useless computer.
    im currently attempting to backup using Time Machine onto an external drive in order to do a full restore (since as far as I know that's the only true solution to the problem). Only issue is that it backs up depressingly slow (about 1 MB every 10 minutes, with a total of 224 GB to back up).
    If there's anyone out there that could perhaps give me insight on how to repair this issue more smoothly, that'd be great.

    A
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is not fully functional. You need an external hard drive or other storage device to hold the data.
    1. Start up from the Recovery partition, from Internet Recovery, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
    If you use FileVault 2, then you must first unlock the startup volume. Select its icon ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another disk icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar. Enter your login password when prompted.
    2. If Method 1 fails because of disk errors, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    3. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    4. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    B
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Disk Utility.
    In the Disk Utility window, select the icon of the startup volume from the list on the left. It will be nested below another disk icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar. When prompted, enter the login password of a user authorized to unlock the volume, or the alternate decryption key that was generated when you activated FileVault.
    Then, from the menu bar, select
              File ▹ Turn Off Encryption
    Enter the password again.
    You can then restart as usual, if the system is working. Decryption will be completed in the background. It may take several hours, and during that time performance will be reduced.
    If you can't turn off encryption in Disk Utility because the menu item is grayed out, you'll have to erase the volume and then restore the data from a backup. Select the Erase tab, and then select
              Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    from the Format menu.
    You can then quit to be returned to the main Recovery screen. Follow these instructions if you back up with Time Machine. If you use other backup software, follow its developer's instructions.
    Don't erase the volume unless you have at least two complete, independent backups. One is not enough to be safe.

  • ICloud password request comes on screen and won't cancel or allow log in. other issues before this included flashing screen, safari help line invitation and redirected searches. have done safe reboots with mixed success.

    had a new drive installed on my MacBook Pro and since then some problems have come up. at first i'd get redirects on my searches that would often lead to a popup stating Safari had a security issue and I should call a certain number.  I guessed that to be Bull and tried to correct the problem myself. Numerous safe boots would clear it for a use or two then back to the redirects again. Now the iCloud password request comes on after startup. it offers two options, cancel or log in. Neither goes anywhere. Is my next option only take in for a service call?

    You might have to enter the password a few times before the prompts stop. If you don't actually use iCloud, sign out of it in the iCloud preference pane.

  • Can't open quicktime control panel...among other issues w/ QuickTime/iTunes

    I download itunes and then try to open it and before it opens and error occurs causing it to close. all other apps seem functional except quicktime. I can't open it under control panel (An exception occurred while trying to run “C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
    “C:\WINDOWS\system32\QuickTime.cpl”, QuickTime”) and when I try to open it from the START menu I get "QuickTime failed to initialize. Error # - 2095". Any ideas on how to fix this so I can get QuickTime and iTunes working? Thanks for the help.

    I have exactly the same problem!!
    Been on this site since Dec 26th and still can't get ipod to work.
    You would think Apple would have a help line!
    If you solve yours please let me know how you did it, and I will do likewise.

  • Naming Audio Files/Record Path In Logic 8

    Unless I am completely mistaken, it appears that there is much less flexibility for giving a precise name to each newly recorded audio file in L8. In L7 with a single KC, "Set audio record path" you had two crucial options to set the name of the file and its destination folder.
    Whereas in L8, you have the option to set the 'recording folder' and the name of the file is uselessly and inflexibly tied to the audio track (pages 359/360 of the Manual).
    One of the most efficient ways of cataloguing takes is to keep renaming each take by the date/time/instrument abbreviated.. all for the same Audio Track. A simple KC in L7 used to give the option to newly name the audio file at any moment.
    Someone please tell me I have completely misunderstood L8 .. and that you can do what I used to do for years in L7

    This is only one example of the many downgrades Logic 8 provides from Logic 7.
    Hopefully this misguided choice will be reversed, like the stupidity of making
    the giant smpte and giant bar displays light grey on dark grey, thus unreadable
    from across the studio. (This was changed) . Add to that not being able to make the transport bar
    the shape and size you had before, the transparent windows that show what's
    behind them on the desktop, the bugs in the piano roll window, etc. Half of my
    time learning 8 has been trying to learn new ways of doing things that were
    fast and easy in 7, and some are now impossible. It's clear they're not sending
    the beta versions out to working composers, and then listening to their comments,
    as these complaints are extremely widespread.

  • How can I play the current slide only when there is an audio recording?

    Hi,
    I have a 10 slide presentation where I am recording audio one slide at a time. If I have the current slide selected and click play, Keynote plays from the beginning of the presentation.
    Is there a way to have Keynote playback only the slide selected when audio is recorded?
    Thanks,
    humbucker

    Thanks! That really helped. Why does the audio recording cause so many issues when it's done using Keynote?
    humbucker,
    I don't really have an answer for that. It usually boils down to complications when all combinations of possible uses are considered. One scenario may seem a no-brainer taken by itself, but not when other options are in play.
    I was responding to your specific question about Quicktime recording. You could also use Garage Band, Audacity and the like, of course. Quicktime is just so much easier than any other option that I'm aware of for making short, simple, recordings.

  • Audio recording - prompts after every slide?

    This question concerns the prompt box that appears after
    recording audio for a slide. Basically, if the audio track is
    longer than the slide length, you are prompted on how to handle
    this after each slide. Is there a universal setting for this so
    that we are not prompted after each slide? Or do you have to
    increase the slide length before each audio recording to avoid this
    issue? Either way, this is a time constraint. Thanks in advance for
    any insight you may offer on these topics.

    Hi stunamistyle
    There is no setting I'm aware of for this. What you see is
    what you get.

  • No Direct Audio Recording With Quicktime

    Could someone please help me to troubleshoot this Quicktime audio problem? Running 10.8.2. When I try to do screen recording it doesn't record the audio section. I do not want to use the mic but record what is going throught the speakers. I read somewhere that Quicktime can't do this but that is silly for a company like Apple not to include audio recording, when many other screen capture programs easily do. Am I missing a patch or update of some kind? Would adding Soundflower fix this issue?

    Is there a link to do this?
    Here is the general link to the Apple Product Feedback page listing products: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Here is the link to the QT Product Feedback Form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/quicktime.html
    The way Quicktime is now, it is worthless (screen capture wise) unless you want to capture a Charlie Chaplin movie...
    Than mab be the point. (I.e., they may not want you to be capable of copying movies playing on you screen.)

  • Logic 8 won't play back audio recorded at 48 kHz

    So I was recording a small project in Logic 8 on Snow Leopard (10.6.8) the other day when I noticed that audio recorded at 48 kHz wasn't playing back at all. The wave form appeared in the audio region after recording, but the meters on OUT 1-2 weren't lighting up at all. When I switched the project mode to 44.1 kHz, the audio played back fine (except it sounded pitched down and slow). I was in a hurry so I just recorded the whole project at 44.1 kHz instead, even though it should have been 48 kHz.
    Any ideas on what could be causing this?

    A lot of people have reported this, and it happens to me pretty frequently. Gotta be a known bug, but of course since Apple is always mum about this stuff with absolutely no communication to its customers, we won't know until the next version of Logic is released.
