Logic 9 randomly creating Volume hyperdraw level of -15.4

Hi all
Since I upgraded to Yosemite (yeah I know, terrible move) my Logic Pro 9 is doing the weirdest thing. I hit play on a MIDI track, and almost without fail it creates a Hyperdraw Volume value of -15.4 on the chosen track which I have to manually delete every time. I thought it was something to do with my MIDI keyboard but it's switched off and it just happened again. No other MIDI inputs.
Any idea? Looks like a stupid little bug I guess. It's ALWAYS -15.4.

I did that and when trying to install the new one it told me i allready had a newer version installed.
When my friend bought Logic Pro from the app store, he told me there was a long installation process, with entering his name etc, with me it just installed in 3 mins and didnt ask me anything.
Could there be something wrong with the install to begin with?
I am not even able to re-install this Lion in someway, im really stuck..! :/
Dont know if this concept with removing all hardware installation CDs is the perfect one..
Any other suggestions??

Logic is randomly creating fades..............

hi,
crazy annoying problem. I notice that when I start editing audio in logic, copying and pasting, dragging audio around in the arrange window, Logic starts to create fades, even when the regions are not touching. Also, Logic will play audio that is not in the arrange window. In other words, It will play an entire audio file even though that file has been cut or shortened in the arrange window. Needless to say, I have audio playing all over the place that shouldn't be there, and fades messing up levels of audio because of the random places Logic is placing these fades. Very strange. I can work around it by creating alot of audio tracks and just moving the copied files to separate tracks, but in some cases, the extra audio will still play. The only real workaround thus far has been to delete the file that's acting strange, and re-insert it directly from my audio window. Then Logic seems to deal with it properly.
Crazy. Any help would be MUCH APPRECIATED.
thanks

that's interesting. Here's an example of what I'm doing. Let's say I sang 10 leads vocals of a chorus, and then I created one "comp" of the "best of" each take. Now I have one chorus, on one track with a bunch of regions, some overlapping, but some don't overlap. Now..... if I select that entire chorus, which will include ALL of the new regions I put together, in other words, the "comp", and click/hold/and drag to another location, shouldn't that "comp" look exactly the same no matter where I put it on the arrange page? And shouldn't it sound exactly the same way? I've been using Logic for many years, left for a while because I had just bought a dual opteron [that's for another post ;)] and have been using Cubase sx, Nuendo, and sonar for the past few years. I'm thinking that one thing that has never changed in any of these programs is that U can cut audio regions, or make them smaller, and U should hear what U see on the arrange page. I'm also thinking that when U select/click/hold whatever key that particular program uses for copying/and then drag, U should be able to move that particular part that U just selected, anwhere in your arrangement. this is real basic stuff here. I'm just thinking that this is a bug, but now that I think I explained it more clearly, I'm also thinking since I haven't been here in Logic for a few years, maybe I'm doing something wrong. I spoke to tech support at Apple, and they had no clue.
they didn't think the behavior was normal.
anyway, lemmeno.
thanks

Bouncing in Logic, Suppressed and Quiet Volume Output Levels

So I've just finished mixing a song from a friend's band's performance and it sounds great. The Output is hot, usually staying upwards of -3.5 decibels and less than 0 thanks to the compressor/limiter plugin and some basic volume automation. I have the computer output levels set at halfway and the master logic output set at half as well, and the mix is slightly louder than I would prefer comfort-wise in my headphones. By all means, my bounce out of logic and onto my desktop should be at a similar volume level, but it is not. In comparison to my songs in my itunes collection, the output is very significantly affected and diminished. A listener would have to turn the volume up on their stereo or computer to reach an equal volume level as their other music.
I have tried bouncing with normalization turned on and off and have bounced out both aiff and m4a files. My Compressor/limiter plugin is on, but the output never reaches clipping levels as the plugin seems to be working as it should. I have played my bounces in both Itunes (preamp in eq is at half as well) and quicktime with the volumes set at halfway, so it's not a blockhead issue of not having my volume up in those programs. Something is seriously up here, since I have tried many possibilities, my output levels are not requiring a reduction by a plugin and I have not come to a satisfying conclusion.
My overall questions are: 1) Would could possibly explain what's amiss here since nothing theoretically should be. 2) What explains the difference between the output I hear playing my mix within logic and playing the bounce in other programs such as I tunes (again I did not bonehead here and leave my volume or eq level set low in my Itunes, nor did I normalize my bounce). 3) Should I just send my Mix to an auxillary "master" channel strip, record as audio, and export it as is? I would prefer it not have to come to this. 4) Is it possible that one cannot truly master at a professional level in logic? Do I need to get some expensive plugins in addition, or perhaps an external mastering-specific program?
I would sincerely appreciate any informative answers here, Thanks

, and large reason for that is the fact that it always seems to lack any sort of conclusive solution
I think it always yields a conclusive solution.
After all, if my question was "I need to be able to play the guitar to put some guitar down" most answers would be either "You should get a guitarist who has the skills already" or "Learn to play the guitar".
A forum post is not going to suddenly impart the skills necessary to get commercial sounding mixes instantly - the commercial mixers charge a fortune for their work, largely because they are good at it!
If a mix sounds very loud while I'm bouncing in realtime, what can possibly explain a significant volume reduction in the sound file that comes out the other end onto my desktop?
You are comparing two different things. When you are hearing it in Logic, there is a playback level going through your interface and to your speakers. When you play the same audio through iTunes, you are playing through an entirely different chain - iTunes, with it's own volume control, through the system with it's own volume control, and so on. Also in iTunes, often people have all kindsof stuff switched on like EQ settings, or the audio leveller function, which is further going to change stuff.
Just remember that the "volume" you hear is more dependent on how loud your are setting various volume controls than what the contents of the file are. If you're not sure on this stuff, then probably the best way to compare your mixes to commercial stuff is to burn them to CD and play them back on the same system.
Again, I have no need to normalize at all since my mix has a loud average volume throughout without spilling over into clipping territory on the peaks.
Are you using metering? You'd probably find it useful to compare average and peak levels on your mixes, compared to average and peak levels on commercial mixes. I think you'd be surprised how "loud" commercial mixes really are - many don't have more than a few dB of dynamic range - at least in the regular pop/rock/commercial categories.
Presumably, I have exercised all the skill necessary to get a satisfyingly loud mix. If it (the mix) came out sounding exactly as it does in logic it would be louder than I would need it to be.
It's difficult to know what you are doing, but as long as you are not clipping your outputs, what Logic writes into the audio file is exactly what you are hearing when bouncing. How you then play the file back, in a completely different set of applications, is not going to let you listen at the exact same level unless you set all the affecting volume controls to match everything else. Remember, Logic is talking directly to your audio interface, not playing through OSX's system output.
So, divide your situation into two areas - am I getting my mix to the relative levels I want, and how am I playing back and hearing that mix, and go from there.

Workflow final cut pro to logic 8: keep the volumes from fcp

Hi,
does anyone know a good workflow between fcp and logic 8 ?
It should work like the roundtrip to soundtrack.
The main problem is, that when sending the sequence with premixed audio (via volume keyframes)
to logic 8 (no matter if xml 1-4, omf, automatic duck xml, automatic duck fcp export)
the volume data is not transfered the right way, i have to start mixing from scratch.
so i still prefer soundtrack for final mix allthough great logic studio is here...
can anybody help me out?
Thank you

it appears that if you check only "include crossfades"(during the fcp omf export) it does retain those once in logic, but if you check both "levels" and "crossfades", nothing gets retained. strange.

Volume ringer levels

here is my scenario: I'm watching a movie with my earbuds, then i finish that..an hour later i get a call but i dont hear it, why? because the volume was too low?
how to make ringer volume default to max levels when fone rings?
how could apple not think about setting a volume ringer level for when fone rings?
my fone rings at the level the volume is currently set at.
is there a way to make volume ring level always be at max level when fone rings?
problem is volume levels on iphone are already pathetically. i've asked around and this seems to be a common problem that the volume level is way lower than most other common cell fones.

ok i tried this. i went into settings and set max volume.
i then went into a movie, played it at half volume. exited out to springboard, called my iphone and sure enough it rings at half volume because thats the volume it was at when i watched the movie earlier at.
if i go into settings, sounds, i can use the side tabs to raise or lower volume, so by that logic...where ever i'm at it affects the sounds setting which are NOT permanent.

Environment variables (user) created at OS level dont show up in BIDS 2008

Environment variables (user) created at OS level don't show up in BIDS 2008.
I had a variable ConfigLocation created and it is not showing up when I am trying to configure it in BIDS
Is this a known issue or a bug?
Now in BIDS it doesnt show up
Mudassar

Yes it shows up after restart of BIDS .
But during design time this is a bug I hope Microsoft fixes this bug in the future releases
Mudassar
It's not really a bug. Visual Studio loads the environment variables when starting up.
In future releases you use projects and parameters instead of environment variables, so the issue goes away ;)

Item created at site level can not be seen in other responsibilities

Hi,
I've made changes to one of the iProcurement pages.
I added an item (type : Tip) at the site level . The context is as follows:
scope : page
site : include
organization : A
responsibility : B
The Tip item's rendering properties are as follows:
Site : True
Organization : Inherit
Responsibility : Inherit
Now, I go to another responsibility C and when I looked for this item, it can't be seen.. The item could not even be searched in the personalizations page.
The context for this as follows:
scope : page
site : include
organization : D
responsibility : C
I just want to know that when an item created at site level should be seen by all the responsibilities right?
why is that it is not getting displayed here?
Thanks in advance

Hi Ram,
I could clearly see that the item got created at site level.
The function in the context window is left blank.
site: include
organization : A
responsibility : B
I could see the item in the B responsibility.
But when I go to some other responsibility ( with a different organization), I could not see the item.
This page I'm talking about is NonCatalogShoppingPG (iProcurement).

Unable to create volume - error message when exporting

Hello - relatively new Mac and iphoto user here.
I'm trying to export photos from iphoto to a 2 GB thumb drive. I keep getting the error message "unable to create volume" when I try to move anything but very small batches of photos over. What's going on? I tried to create a folder on my desktop for the photos but then when I try to move from there I get an error message telling me the photo "is in use" and can't be moved to the thumb drive.
I would move them to my external hard drive but I'm having trouble with it too. It won't even show up. When I run a disk utility on it it says it can't be verified. Sigh. So that's a whole other issue that will probably take something like Disk Warrior to clean up.
In the meantime, I'm trying to move images to the thumb drive then I'm putting the thumb drive in my other computer and moving the images from the thumb drive to it's external hard drive A long process when you can only move about 20 images at a time from iphoto.
I'm just trying to move a good bit of old photos out of iphoto on the Mace because I'm scared that the program or even my entire computer is going to crash and I'm going to have data loss.
What can I do about the "unable to create volume" message? And what's with the "file in use" error message when I try to move the images off a file folder on the desktop.
Is there a better way to move 1GB of photos all at once to the thumb drive?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Seems to be two issues complicating things here:
I'm trying to export photos from iphoto to a 2 GB thumb drive. I keep getting the error message "unable to create volume" when I try to move anything but very small batches of photos over.
What format is that wee drive? Mostly there are FAT16 or FAT 32 and there is a limit to the number of objects they can have on the root of the drive. The workaround is to export to a Folder on the desktop and copy that over.
Which brings us to:
I tried to create a folder on my desktop for the photos but then when I try to move from there I get an error message telling me the photo "is in use" and can't be moved to the thumb drive.
You will sometimes get this message when you try to export two files +with the same name+ to a Folder. As you know your camera is well capable of producing many files called something like DSC_1234.jpeg. In iPhoto these will be in separate folders, so no problem. However, when you go to export them to the Folder on the desktop if iPhoto continues the export one will overwrite the error.
Solution: Give the Pics a title (Photos -> Batch Change) and a sequential number. Then when you export, in the export dialogue you have the option to use the Title as filename.

"Unable to create volume" error when exporting

Exporting photos from iPhoto gives me the "unable to create Volume" error. iPhoto and Mountain Lion are the latest versions, and most recent updates. Library of 30,000 images is currently on an NAS. Destination drive is formatted Mac OSX Extended (Journaled, Encrypted).
Library has already been rebuilt. No change.
PNGs have been deleted from library. No change.
Tried batch re-titling every image in the library library, and exporting so that exported files were named according to title, followed by a number--thus no two files would have the same name. No change.
Any suggestions?

Library of 30,000 images is currently on an NAS.
Likely cause right there.
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

Using WMI to Partition Disks & Create Volumes

Hi All,
I have been searching for a method of partitioning and creating volumes which does not use Diskpart, but have had a difficult time finding one.
I have a python library which runs on a Linux machine and remotely administers a Windows host via OpenSSH, and Linux and Solaris hosts via Ssh, in addition to various disk arrays located on a SAN. We have begun looking for a solution native to Windows, but
have been having a hard time finding any way of cutting up disks, short of using Diskpart. In the currently implementation, Diskpart is used, however a lot of screen scraping of the shell occurs and it can be very temperamental.
The hopeful solution is to use pyWinRM (or some other python module which can remotely administer Windows from Linux) to execute commands remotely. This has been successful in a number of simpler instances (getting drive letters, getting installed program
info, etc) but has failed when trying to do things that require interactivity (i.e. Diskpart). For your references, the pyWinRM module can only execute one command at a time, per shell, which is similar to PsExec and Paramiko.
Any suggestion or ideas are encouraged and welcomed

Hi AdamGHall,
As far as I know, WMI can not be used to create disk partiction, if you can run a windows powershell cmdlet from linux, maybe this cmdlet
New-Partition can be helpful for you to create disk partition.
I hope this helps.

Create a privilege level that only allows access to show commands

Hi,
I would like to create a privilege level that would only give access to the show commands for certain users. What would be the best way to do this?
Would I have to use the privilege mode level level command for every available show command or is there a more efficient way of doing this?
In addition, could we manage such a privilege level from a Radius Server.
Thanks for your help
Stéphane

Well, I think the best way to achive this is to use TACACS with command authorization feature.
Configuration on the tacacs server ( only for show commands, read only access)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps2086/products_configuration_example09186a00808d9138.shtml#scenario2
These commands are required on an IOS router or switch in order to implement command authorization through an ACS server:
    aaa new-model
    aaa authorization config-commands
    aaa authorization commands 0 default group tacacs+ local
    aaa authorization commands 1 default group tacacs+ local
    aaa authorization commands 15 default group tacacs+ local
     tacacs-server host 10.1.1.1
     tacacs-server key cisco123
These commands are required on ASA/PIX/FWSM in order to implement command authorization through an ACS server:
    aaa-server authserver protocol tacacs+
    aaa-server authserver host 10.1.1.1
    aaa authorization command authserver
However, if you strictly want to use radius server then please try the below listed attribute for a single user or group.
Service-Type = NAS Prompt
http://www.ietf.org/assignments/radius-types/radius-types.xml#radius-types-4
This might not work for ASDM.

"Unable to Create Volumes" error message in iPhoto export

Hi. I am attempting to export all of my videos from iPhoto onto an external drive. I have read several articles in this community, but so far my problem has not been solved. I keep getting the error message "Unable to /create/volumes/Lisa's Prtable Drive..." when I attempt to export. I have experimented with changing batch names, selecting fewer movies to export, etc. I AM able to export one video at a time, but I have 719 videos to move, and would much rather do them all at once.
Thank you for any help!

Error when creating volume on data group for acfs

Hi,
I want to create ACFS file system on solaris SPARC system which is running solaris 10.9. I have created data group successfully but i get an error when i try to create volume.
ASMCMD> volcreate -G OEMLIB -s 30G oemlibvol1
ORA-15032: not all alterations performed
ORA-15472: volume library cannot be loaded. Platform may not support volume creation. (DBD ERROR: OCIStmtExecute)
i read that solaris 10.8 or more support acfs and my oracle grid software is also 11.2 higher.
what could be the issue? Do i need to manually load drivers for ADVM? where are they located?

Thanks
Thanks for your input.
We are missing the ACFS binaries after we installed 11.2.0.1 GRID and Database on Solaris 10 Update 8.
The following are missing from the GRID_HOME/bin:
Acfsload, acfsroot, acfsdriverstate, acfsregitrymount, acfssinglefsmount.
I see these in 11.2.0.1 version of a LINUX install in our datacenter but don’t see it in our Solaris Install.

Getting "Unable to create VOLUMES/" error when exporting photos

I am trying to export a number of photos from iPhoto '08 to a USB stick that has been freshly formated with FAT 32. When iPhoto reaches a photo that has a vertical orientation the export stops and throws this error:
"Unable to create VOLUMES/JUMP DRIVE/filename"
These photos were taken with a Canon Powershot SD700IS. The camera has the ability to sense orientation when the picture is taken. It will automatically rotate pictures that were taken while holding the camera on its side. If the picture was taken with a horizontal (normal) orientation the export is successful.
I was able to work around this by opening the offending files in Preview and saving them from there. Obviously this is a time consuming extra step that shouldn't be necessary.
If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate them!
Thanks!

Then you have a managed library.
Go to your Pictures Folder. There you'll see the icon for your iPhoto Library. Right Click on that icon and select 'Show Package Contents' from the resulting menu. A Finder window will open and you'll see your Library internals. Have a look for the /Originals Folder. Inside it will be the folders for your Events. These should include the full sized photos.
If they do, then
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
