Left brained and DAW / oil and water

Hey Hey-
Stuck my toes in the Cubase Ocean for a few years. Never went beyond what was obvious or came easy. Now I've landed in Logic. Boy, Garage Band was easy... albeit shallow. Gotta love those applications you can learn in a sitting or two. Or maybe you don't. Garage Band is the girl from the bar. Logic is my wife. So I must know...
How have you learned Logic?
These tools may not make us better musicians, or artists. They may, however, assist us in producing things. Or they may not...if we never master the use of these tools.
I feel as though the manual, while complete, would work best if read from cover to cover, absorbed slowly and chronologically. Maybe it should be called ChronoLogic. Of course, there are quite a few pages, so I option for the pick and choose / google / kind people from forum method and hope that I can add at least one stone to the almighty music production foundation before nightfalls!
Lately I've been trying to import patch scripts. I like to imagine that a seasoned veteran somewhere just muttered something about that possibly being tricky. That would give me strength for days. Meanwhile, truth is, someone is probably changing their patch scripts from an iphone this moment.
I have not read the entire logic 8 manual. I've done the Getting Started and referenced bits and pieces of the user manual. Go to the user manual, page 880, and read about standard instruments. The last line reads:
To create a standard instrument, do one of the following: Choose New > Instrument (or use the New Standard Instrument key command).
Choose New....OK. From where? From the left brain? As in this is all I have left?
I search but alas cannot find any obvious News. Just bad News. The closest thing, I think then, is the New under Track. But then I'm given three options, audio, software instrument, or external MIDI. Now...I'm probably not even in the right menu...and I'd know that if I read the manual from the beginning I bet...if I could still remember it by the time it became of personal interest to me...which I wouldn't. Is this literal or Logic?
And why does the picture of the environment on pg. 881 not look like mine? Probably just a slightly different version? That kinda stuff throws me off.
Do you study with a teacher?
Are there splendid tutorials out there that bring you through all of this in a condensed mock project?
Do you just need to read the manual from cover to cover...over and over? Ver Er R?
On a serious note, I'd honestly be interested in hearing about how you learn these programs.
Thanks!

****, just found the environment window...and the New I need.

When I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on "Bookmarks" tab on left side and allow me to click on each individual page and delete if I needed to. Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, that section is empty. How can I get it to show each

when I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on "Bookmarks" tab on left side and allow me to click on each individual page and delete if I needed to. Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, that section is empty. How can I get it to show each page again?

Hi chrismarks1,
I think you may be confusing bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click the Page Thumbnails icon (the one above the Bookmarks icon), then you can delete a page by clicking its thumbnail, and clicking the Delete Pages icon (the trashcan icon). Just make sure that you're viewing the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), as you can't delete pages from Reader.
Best,
Sara

Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?

I want to be able to open bookmarks in the same window without having to right click and then select open. I would like it to be like internet explorer where you have the option to open a bookmark in the same tab or new tab. I had downloaded an add on that solved the problem with a simple right click to open in new tab and left click to open in same tab. This makes things soooo much easier. Am I missing an add on or a configuration where I can solve this problem. Thanks for your time.

Very, very, very confusing!!!!! Exactly which is it that you want to do????? Left-click = same tab or left-click = new tab????
Your initial subject line:
'''''Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?'''''
Your last post (3rd post):
'''''Is there a way I can left click and automatically open a bookmark in a new tab...'''''
'''''''''...rather than having to left click and then select "open in new tab."'''''''''
Right-click, '''not left-click''', has the "Open in new tab option".
Easy answer is listed in my initial reply; left-click, same tab; middle-click, new tab!
What are your Extensions?
-List them.
-You obviously set up some extension with some kind of conflict.
To find out which Extension is causing the problem, '''enable one-at-a-time''', restart Firefox for the change to take effect (File > Restart Firefox), test. When the problem re-appears, you know the extension causing the problem.

Since installing the new OS i am having troubles with different appliction icons showing up on my main page twice (upper left corner), and not allowng me to select certain ones (app store specifically). Anyone else having this issue?

Help - anyone else out there having trouble with the new OS system on their ipad 2? I am not getting mutliple copies of several apps ont he main page. They are "collecting: in a pike int he upper left corner and the original application icon is no lobger working. I have tried a hard sync, and that didn't help.

It should only be able to have one copy of an app on the iPad. Have you tried a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Do all the apps work ? In the past a few people have taken a screen shot of their iPad screen and that has then become their background picture - so some of the 'app's may actually be on your wallpaper picture and not actual apps. Have you tried changing the wallpaper to see if that makes any difference ?

Right shift and c not working, Left shift and c works fine for a capital c

I have a Lenovo G560 laptop. Had this problem once before and computer tech fixed problem, but moved cities. Worked fine but recently had a windows update. Now when I press the right shift key and c nothing happens. Left shift and c displays a capital c. How do I restore the right shift c ?

hi richiestac,
You can try to remap the Right Shift Key so that it will function as Left Shift using Sharpkeys.
To do this:
1. Download and install Sharpkeys
2. Open Sharpkeys, click on Add and on the Map this key (From Key) , select the Right Shift key, then on the To this key (To key), select the Left Shift key.
- Link to picture
3. When finished, click Write to Registry and reboot.
As for the display driver installation, you need to uninstall first any signs of Intel HD Graphics from the Control Panel (Icon View) > Programs and Features. After that, open Device Manager > Display Adapters and uninstall the Intel Graphics (ensure you put a check on Delete the driver software for this device and try to re-install the Intel Onboard Graphics Driver.
Alternatively, you can skip all the procedures above and just press the OneKey Recovery button to restore the system to factory settings (note that all data will be wiped on the OS partition).

Regarding left justified and right justified in sap script

Hi Experts,
I create sap script. in sap script i have 2 field in one row 1) amt discription and other is amount... amt discri is a left side and amount is a rigth side like:
amt discript amt
blablabla 100
now what i want amt disc should be left side and and amt should be right side...
so how can i do this?? if that 2 field is different row so i have no problem but this field in one row.. so how can i make paragraph element or give tab in one row...
Give me suggetion.
Vishal

I am fine...Thanks.. How are you?
You can go to SE71...
Go to Paragarph ...select your paragraph say P1.. go to Tabs..
Now define as I have suggested...
If you want to use only one for the Amount that define like:
1 15 CM RIGHT..
In the text element write like this:
P1 Amt Desc,, AMT
RIGHT tab means, the value related to that field should end before the specified limit. Like in this case it should end at 15 CM.

I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

See the following thread on the same topic:
2 Thunderbolt displays MBP = sound coming from both displays?

I keep deleting extra calendars (the catagories on the left pannel) and they immediately reappear. i just want to remove all old calendars to clean up the interface.

If you erase the hard disk and you install a new Mac OS X copy, Time Machine will start a new backup and will stop using all backups you made in the past.
One option you have is to reinstall Mac OS X and restore a Time Machine backup, but restoring only some files: for example, instead of restoring everything, restore only your user files, and not your applications, so you will have more free space. Also, doing this, Time Machine will continue backing up to your old backup, because Time Machine will detect that you have "the same computer with the same files and the same Mac OS X version", but it's not.
If you have more questions about Time Machine, see this site > http://pondini.org

Trashing the preference file may help, as I've outlined in the topic I've linked to. Otherwise, follow the steps regarding removing 3rd party QuickTime components. Also, see the final post by the OP (EEye87) regarding how his problem was resolved (a combination of trashing the preference file and the 3ivx component).

Hi,

Let me know if that works

Can`t left click and drag clip into timeline..Need advice

Can`t left click and drag clip into timeline, or drag clips around in timeline.
Can insert into timeline from Source Window but can't drag from source window.
Can cut and paste within timeline.
Restarting cs5 doesn`t help, but restarting computer solves problem for a while.
Tried many mouses, but that didn`t help.
Have no idea how I got the name OLD PRO, must have been drinking champagne years ago, because I am a bumbler par excellence!
Message was edited by: old pro

Thank you so much for asking
In the Project Panel a left click highlights the asset but ignores the drag.
In the timeline, a left click highlights the panel and when I try to drag it gives a flicker but that's all.
I can cut and paste in the timeline.
A restart of CS5 has no effect. Restarting the computer solves the problem for a while.
Four different mouses--same problem.

HT204291 I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver. My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front. When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on

I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver. My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front. When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on the left. When I watch Cable Television (not using the Apple TV), all 3 channels work fine so I know that the speaker connections are fine.

I had problems with streaming until I changed the WiFi channel that I was using. The original one conflicted with my neighbor. After that, MOST of my streaming problems vanished. Occasionally, a movie would pause for more buffering and I eventually ran an ethernet cable from the Apple TV to my Apple Extreme (to eliminate the Wifi). I have not had a single problem since then (except to repair the drywall after running the ethernet from one floor to another). :-)

Magic Mouse and MS Word 2011 (under OS 10.7, iMac middle 2011): Marking of word in a document stops after a few seconds while still pressing the left button and keep on moving the mouse (batteries full)

Software: OS X Lion (10.7.4); Microsoft Word für Mac 2011, Version 14.2.2 (120421)
Hardware: iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 12 GB, magic mouse
To mark several clauses in a doc-document (in MS Word 2011), I press the left mouse button and move the mouse along the words
My problem:
While still pressing the left button and moving the mouse, the marking on the screen stops and I can't change the already existing markings any more (to become less or especially more).
Who knows:
- why this happens and how I can abondon this behaviour?
- is it a settings problem in MS Word 2011 or of OS X Lion?
By the way:
- I don't watch this behaviour in MS Excel 2011. There everything works fine.
- The batteries are fully loaded and I'm about 30 to 40 cm (1") away from the iMac (RSSI: -60 dB)
Thanks for answers.
