The New Ultrabeat - First Look Videos

Not much attention has been payed to the new Ultrabeat, but it is incredible, and has some of the coolest new features added to Logic 8.
Steve H has added some vids covering the new features of UIltrabeat to our Logic 8: A First Look videos ... you can check them out here:

Thank you. I just followed those steps and it worked. One thing that confuses me though. When I right click on the sequence i want to copy in the Browser, and go to Settings, I am expecting that I am going to see what the current sequence is set at-- like what format you had selected before in the Easy Set-up. But you don't see anything of the sort (those actually appear to be under "Item Properties". Instead you only see another button "Load Sequence Preset...", and when you hit that, you only see whatever it is you currently have your Easy Set Up set to-- not the actual properties of the sequence. But at that point, (I've been told) it makes no differnce to change it anyway since the sequence as already been created. But in fact I have experimented with changing the "Load Sequence Preset" for the new copied (correctly per your instruction) and it does make a difference-- it messes it up in the same way it was messed up when I was trying to copy it my way. Fair enough, I just won't do that anymore, but it does beg the question what is the proper usage of the "Load Sequence Preset..." under sequence settings. Do you know?
I know this is getting down to minutiae.
Thanks again.

Book printing with Blurb. Bug ? New interface ?

Hello, all.
As I am trying to use the newest version of Aperture for the first time I am finding that the program is somewhat unresponsive. I just attempted to add one more page to a 100-page book and the application became unresponsive. The screens shows the book now as having 1098 pages but how did this happen if all I did was add one single page ? Is there a bug ?
I also noticed the new interface. The icons are monochromatic and so are all other visual elements. Is this normal ? I am assuming they are following Lion's interface design. Quite frankly I think I liked it better the way it was before.
One question:
I am trying to print a book. I have given up on printing the book using Apple's own service due to the many limitations the biggest one of all being the 100-page limit imposed to books. Adobe's Lightroom uses Blurb, which offers more options. Books printed from Lightroom can have up to 280 pages and there are choices of papers as well as choices of cover materials the user can select when ordering books. Their books do look better.
Having said that, I have found that Aperture makes the process of creating books much simpler and it is actually easier to design a book in it when compared to Lightroom. This may change in the future as they improve this feature since this is the first version that includes the book design module but for now I think I will continue to use Aperture.
Has anyone used Aperture with Blurb's printing service ? In case you have would share any tips ? I am assuming I can print an Aperture book as a PDF file and then provide it to Blurb so that they can print the book. Is this true ?
Any help or suggestions you can share will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure, but I'm wondering if your problem is due entirely to trying to add that 101-st page to your book. Though if true, that would be bad of Aperture to hang, rather than warn you and not let you do so.
As per publishing with Blurb, I use outside book vendors often, while still using Aperture to design the book. When you hit "Print book" select the "PDF" button (lower left), and either print a PDF, or choose one of the "Save PDF to folder JPG" options. I use the latter. I get a single JPG for each page of my book, and then use that in the ordering software for my book vendor.
These "Save PDF to folder JPG" options are just PDF Services Automator scripts. Search the forums about this. I modified one to suit my needs. I believe they reside in /Macintosh HD/LIbrary/PDF Services. Double click on one to edit. I made mine output a 300 DPI file in the sRGB color space. Save as a new file name.

Hard drives for logic, what to look for?

Hi peeps, I'm looking at getting a new internal hard drive for my Mac Pro exclusively for my Logic 9 projects
obviously speed will be a factor in how many audio tracks I can use etc, but what other features are beneficial to logic? cache size etc
more importantly are there any drives out there that just don't play nice with logic, which are the ones to avoid at all costs?,
any positive recommendations of specific drives that are known to work well with DAWs?
any advice would be great
thanks, Robert

I've been using a 250GB Maxtor sense 2004. No problems with it. Gonna get a 1TB soon. Probably will be another Maxtor. Your milage may vary

TP3 more bugs & problems tha in TP2

Hi everyone!
After some time playing with TP3 I have feeling it is slower and more buggy that TP2. And I noticed that many posts here are related to bugs in TP3 that were not noticed in TP2. Also, TP2 was working fine with JDK 1.6 while TP3 is not working at all. Looks like TP3 is feture extended TP2 but with more bugs and less performant...
My questions are: What is going on? When we can expect TP4 hoing it will be faster and more stable.
Cheers,
PaKo

Hi Pako
I agree for the bugs, tp3 seem plenty of new bugs and new features also ... it is great to have new features.
I disagree for your comment about performance. Performance is better for me, particulary in diagraming and off line database editors.
I didn't see any real improvements or worse performance in adf bc or adf faces editors.
It is a lot of work to be done by Oracle to improve JDev but it seem the final product will be really improved and usable and will offer a great profitable platform for great results.
Thank you Oracle to deliver it ... thank you for the next soon release (without the bugs) ... thank you to continue so hard.

Logic Pro (and Garage Band) guitar bug.

This is a rather irritating bug that happens constantly on my set up. I can play guitar for a couple of minutes then the sound cuts out but then plays after about a three second delay. This happens in both Logic Pro 9 and Garage band but not in Ableton Live or other apps.
At first I thought it was an interface problem (UA-101) till everything worked without a hitch in Ableton Live. The interface lights also show no delay. I've got a new MacBook pro with Leopard on it with latest versions of Logic and Garage band.
Anyone else seen this before or know of others that have had this problem. Any suggestions of what I could do to fix it?

Well I dont get this but I use Apogee Duet, so there could be the difference. Process buffer range could make some difference, set it to low in Preferences/Audio. The other obvious thing is to check the buffer size in preferences is set as low as possible.

I downloaded Lion on my iMac. It apparently cleaned out the hard drive. Nothing shows up from before. It looks like a brand new computer. It is backed up on Time machine. Any idea of why this happened and suggestions on restoring? Thanks.

I downloaded Lion on my 4 yr old iMac. The download stalled at the last minute so I clicked "CANCEL". When it was restarted, Lion was there, with no apparent option but to go ahead and install so I assumed it was okay. Didn't transfer data from "another computer" when prompted - assumed it would transfer from that computer. It apparently cleaned out the hard drive. It looks like a brand new computer. None of my apps, programs, files, or thousands of photos.   It is backed up on Time machine, but it's a sickening sight. Any idea why this happened and suggestions before restoring? Thanks.

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

Looking to get a new MacBook Pro

Hey guys, I've been looking to get a new MBP for the past few months now, and have held off in wait of Lion being announced. I know it's coming out sometime in July, but nothing more specific than that, and I'm really eager to get a MBP! I was wondering if I were to purchase a MBP today, would I be eligible for some sort of free upgrade to Lion once it was released, similar to how Microsoft did to buyers of new Vista machines once the release of Windows 7 was close? Any help would be great!

OS X Lion is going to have all sorts of issues, third party software won't work, printer drivers won't work, OS X itself will have to be tweaked.
Apple is changing all sorts of things, locking the OS down, no boot disks and so forth.
Save the hassle for the others, for $30 you can wait 6-8 months for it to stabilize.
Get the 2.2Gz 15" high res anti glare or better.

The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with. "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts. In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do. Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
All pedantic, but please stick with me here .
You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
Every Image has an Original.
The Image is not the Original. The Image is what you see in Aperture.
The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
You can make changes to an Image.
Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database. Let's call this file the Changes File.
Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
Image = Original + Changes File.
The Image is not a file.
Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs. It exists only inside of Aperture.
In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
You may ask, "Why all the complexity? Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?" The answer is simple: Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images. Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file. The gain in storage efficiency is huge. The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:
SamanthaR22 might have written:

No, there is not. Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs. You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images. These files are called Previews. You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab. These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser. These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).
HTH.

I have a problem, my wife has an ipad with photos , emails etc etc, she has recently got herself a new iPad Air, has now been using that for two or more months, more photos (new) more emails and other stuff. What she wants to do is get all she wants from ipad 1 to new ipad without finishing up with 2 of everything which happen on previous occasion.

No logical space left to create more user strings

So, what I tried to do was to put over 700,000 strings into an array. That seems impossible according to this error.
Error 1
Unexpected error writing metadata to file -- 'No logical space left to create more user strings.'
What do you recommend me to use for such a large number of string constants?
I intend to search through them many times.
Vlastimil Burian

There is a limit on the number of strings you can define in an assembly but you could store the strings externally, for example in a file or in a database.
Please refer to the following page for more information:

Yes, but it's much cheaper to buy RAM from a reliable supplier like Crucial or OWC.

My PC sporadically recognizes my iPhone. occasionally it synchs on first try. More often it recognizes the iPhone and then gives an error message that it can't recognize it. Help!

Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.

Mac Mini A1283 First Look

iFixit has posted the first look at the mac mini. Check it out at:
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/First-Look/Mac-Mini-A1283/659/1

I am looking forward to more movie offerings from the iTunes store. Imagine, it is the middle of the night, and they offer a film you want to see. Also imagine, it is dinner, and the after dinner movie is downloading. The nearest movie house, or rental store is many, I mean many miles away. I know of these places and the people that live there. ITunes is a god send!

Im looking to buy the new ipad but Iv a question. I can only afford either the 16gb with cellular or the 32gb without cellular...if one HAD to pick between the two what would u pick

I'm looking to buy the new ipad but I've a question. I can only afford either the 16gb with cellular or the 32gb without cellular. If one HAD to pick between bigger storage space or the added cellular which would u pick? Please help!

Like I said, I only have WiFi iPads, and don't know much at all about the data plans, but I don't think that you have to commit to a long term contract and I believe that there are plans that you can cancel at any time. My point is that if you sign up for a plan, and you use it say 4 months out of the year, you could be spending that money that you saved on the original cost of the iPad and even more in the future.
Actually, you can look at the AT&T plans here.
