Looking for an api to provide timing support for a music app

Hey folks, new member says Hi !
I was wondering if this would fit better here or in the multimedia section, but here goes :
I've been thinking about some music sequencing ideas that I'd like to implement in ruby.
However, the language has poor runtime performance and won't cut it if it has to handle the timing-critical processing.
So I was wondering if I could possibly design it in a way that would rely on a lower level api to provide clock info.
I've read a bit about jack, and at first glance, it seems reasonable to think that I could develop my application model in ruby and have it register as a jack client (provided I manage to make a proper bridge for it), to fire up events in a timely manner. Same with alsa, which seems to have a special timer api.
But I'm new to this (even linux itself), so it's a lot of info to get one's head around.
I'd love to hear from some people who've had experience developing with these sort of musical/osc/midi apis, and maybe could give some insights regarding whether this is doable, and maybe some pointers on what to investigate.
cheers !

I'm not sure I completely follow you with the "privilege".
To answer your question, yes, you may enhance behaviour of standard services such as CHECKIN_UNIVERSAL via so called "filters". Filters are Java pieces of code, that might be hooked to "filter events" such as validateCheckinData. When a service is being processed, the filter code is triggered on that event automatically.
However, the checkin services already contain a security check (it calls a Java method from the standard code), and it will do checks like "can this user check in a document with such a security group?" or "does this folder exist?", no extra code needed. So, I'm not sure what your enhancement would do additional.

Looking for a music app that doesn't stop playing music when album over

Back in the 90s, I had a 5 disc CD player. When one album was done, it would move to the next album.
With iTunes, one album was done, the next album would start playing.
With iPhone, one abum is done, music stops playing.
I don't understand the logic behind the iPhone music app. This is especially bad for when I'm driving.
I'm looking for a type of Music app that either:
1) Allows me to swipe to next/previous album as well as next/previous track. (maybe a swipe up/down command)?
or
2) Allows me to display all songs, but sorted by Artist or album (that way I automatically have one long
or
3) Will automatically advance to the next album when the current one is done.

Bob, I have the guide, just didn't think of the playlist angle. I was looking for the genre/Siri thing. But hey, making a playlist worked.
Demo, yes Siri works now that I've made a playlist and say "playlist" And I'm satisfied with the fix.
But you'd think apple could make playing music more convenient. I took off all my music and retagged it, leaving all info blank (ie: albums and artists etc) and leaving only genre because it's so difficult to get it play a genre. I'd pick a genre, start with a song and it would play only songs from a single album. I've read of some odd fixes for this and a couple of them worked...sometimes! (If you stand on one leg and whistle Dixie kind of things) Ridiculous!
By eliminating all tag info except genre I fixed that issue and can now play by genre.
But as of now Siri still won't play Gospel music by my asking, she still replaces my spoken "Gospel" with her "Christian & Gospel" which like I said doesn't exist. And correcting Siri doesn't work. All my music falls into 3 genres, 2 of them Siri handles perfectly, Gospel she messes up.
Bottom line - I shouldn't have had to make a playlist, or played with the tagging of my music. Apple says you can play your music by genre, and it should be simple to do so.

Looking For Theatre Music App

Hi all,
I often do sound fx for a local theatre group as was wondering if i could use my ipad to play the sound fx instead of lugging my laptop around. Anyone know of any apps that would serve me?
The app should allow me to recall any programmed sound fx instantly, maybe with pads like drum pads.

Hi,
Just came across this post, not sure how you got on trying to do this but I am about to launch an iPad app called FX Live which will do exactly what you want, see attached screen shot.
Currently testing and should be in the App Store in the next few weeks.

Looking for a remote app

I am looking for a remote app for my windows computer at work so I can control my music. I have Remote from my mac to use with iTunes at home and thats great. But now I was wondering do they have anything like that for windows I use windows media player. Thanks so much

Correction from my last message-
Are you looking for a way to control the music from your PC to Mac as in remote desktop, or are you looking for a way to access (play, delete, share) your music?
If its the first choice, see my last post.
If its the second choice, you can turn on Home Sharing in iTunes.
Go to Advanced>Turn on Home Sharing
You'll have to login with an Apple ID, and do the same thing on your other computers.

Looking for a mail app... any recommendations?

I use my mac for business, and send many emails out to vendors and suppliers and manufacturers on a variety of customer issues. Often, it takes me several emails before I get a reply on a given issue. Sometimes I forget to follow up on a particular email, and it slips through the cracks, making my customers mad.
I am looking for an email app which if set, can prompt me if a period of time goes by without a response. So if I email a vendor on an issue, and he doesn't reply to me, I am prompted to follow up again.
Does anyone know of an app which has such a feature? My email requirements are simple IMAP and POP.
Thank you.

Hi iJerry,
I thought Sparrow had discontinued development. Not the case?
Since this disussion started I have basically switched over the MailPlane and really like it. The navigation, labeling, archiving and everythiing are so quick. And because it is so tied directly to Gmail you don't have to worry about whether or not the labels and everything are in synch (which was driving me crazy when testing Airmail).
The downside is there are some things which MailPlane doesn't support. For example, moving messages between accounts, or multiple signatures with accounts and a few other oddities. And of course it is Gmail only, so I had to do some work-arounds for the couple of email accounts I had which were non-Gmail. And it is all "in the cloud" so there is no backup on my computer (which I accomplish by turning on Thunderbird every once in a while and letting it sync.)
What is the current status of Sparrow though? At Wikipedia it says:
"Sparrow was an email client for OS X and iOS. After a 4 month beta period, Sparrow went on sale in the Mac App Store on February 9, 2011 and became the top paid and top grossing app in less than one day.[1] On July 20, 2012, the company announced that it had been acquired by Google and was ceasing continued development of the application save critical bug fixes."

Looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature (unlimited)

Hi dudes,
As the topic suggests, I'm looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature without any restriction on the number of notes or any other major restriction. I already use HiDisk (which lacks search feature), and security note+ (which has limitation on the number of notes). I also have used My Disk which its search feature doesn't work correctly (it's buggy).
Thank you.

One named NotePad is free, saves as .txt files.
Another, WriterRoom, costs $1.99USD, and saves as .txt and .doc files.

Looking for a virtual app that will allow me to take a photo then be able to add details

"Motion 5" is your friend.
Michael Wohl has a nice 15 video series (free) about Motion 5 at http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/motion5101-overview-and-workflow-guide (right side)
This is a "teaser" series to sell his tutorials but it is really good. Just saw it yesterday for the first time.
While all you want is just to place pins, realize that Motion has so much more. All kinds of effects and they can be really customized. Maybe put their street address, contact name, and phone number by the pin?
Motion 5: cheap at $49.99 (just got my download two days ago)
Motion 5: Support Community athttps://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/motion_5
If you're using the map for, say, deliveries, and use an iPad, what you could do is have a general map of the area imported into Motion, create the pins and whatever, then save (share?) it to the iPad.

I am looking for a map app that will allow me to place pins where my clients offices are on a map and keep them save every time I open the app. Does anyone out there know of an app that will do this?

I signed up for my apple account while living in Canada, and now I lives in the US. I am looking for a specific app that apparently is only available through the US app store. How can I change my account to the US Apple Store?

I signed up for my apple account while living in Canada, and now I lives in the US. I am looking for a specific app that apparently is only available through the US app store. How can I change my account to the US Apple Store?

As long as you have a form of payment (credit or debit card) with a USA source, and with a billing address in the USA, then you just need to change your payment information on your account to that, change your country in the store settings, and you will then be able to shop in the USA store.
Your AppleID will work in any country's store, as long as your payment source and billing addres are also specific to that country (and you are in that country as well, as there may be IP filters in place to stop use outside of the country).

I am looking for an iPad App that will play a specific iTunes song, at a specific time, on a specific day? Thank you all!

Sorry, i did not say that i need to go out further than 1 week. This is for a church Bell Tower Music System. So we don't want to have to re program the music every week. We are looking for more of a Calender App that will play iTunes Songs for alarms...different songs, on different days. IDEAS ANYONE ???

New to Mac and I am looking for a good app to process labels for envelopes. Used to use the Printmaster program on the PC side. Wondering if "Pages" Iis the correct program to buy of is there another option. Thank you.

New to Mac and used to use a program called print master for making all kinds of labels etc. I am looking for a good app to do the same. I was wondering if the Pages app was the right choice to do the labels etc. I understand that pages I'd a word processing app but I was unable to tell if it could do what I was looking for. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

The Contacts application will print envelopes and is already on your iMac. See this Apple article for information on how to do it.
Best of luck.

Looking for a certain app. can you help...

I am going flying in a little cessna tomorrow. This will be my 2nd lesson. The instructor is happy for me to have my iphone on and it doesn't have to be in flight mode.
What this means is I can use the GPS to track the flight. I am looking for a particular app that will use the GPS and plot my track and allow me to place this over a google map or even google earth to show exactly where I have flown.
I have used a similar app for running (RunKeeper) and also another called iTrial but didn't like that one much.
Is there any you can recommend?
Thanks
Mark

If you go to the iTunes App store and look in the Navigation category there are many apps related specifically to flying.
For what you specify, GPS Recorder might be the one to check out. I've not used it, though, so YMMV.

Looking for a journaling app that looks like and old fashion journal and alowws dictation and editing

Looking for a journaling app the allows dictation and editing and would look like and old fashion journal book that I can put in my iBook shelf.

You won't be able to put an app in iBooks. The only things you can put in iBooks are eBooks and PDFs. As far as narrowing down the list of possible apps, what ones have you looked at already when you searched the app store?
