Looking for Synths

So I recorded some synths on Garageband for my Iphone and now I'm trying to reproduce them. However when I booted up my lovely lady friends version of Garageband it was missing the synth that I had been using. She doesn't have the newest version and I don't mind paying to upgrade it. I know I could just use the progression in a different synth but I really dig the way it already sounds and I hate building tones. Does the newest version of Garageband (11) have all the synths that the mobile version does? Failing that any ideas on how to properly export the phone tracks in the highest quality possible?

Although a GarageBand iOS Project can be opened in GarageBand OSX, they don't share the same instrument sets. Actually, GaraeBand iOS has some instruments that are not even available in GargeBand OSX, especially the smart instruments. GarageBand OSX tries to emulate whatever is in your Project.
So your "milage may vary"
Hope that helps

Looking for a specific 8-bit synth plugin

There was one I found a while ago (maybe a year or so) that had a lot of Nintendo-type preset sounds. At the time, it wasn't Leopard compatible so I didn't keep it on my system. I've done some searching and checked out a couple plugins since including Magical 8-bit plugin and Chip32, but none have had the wealth of presets that first one did. I know I can recreate any of the sounds I want using those or Logic's own plugs, but I have a small project with a tight turnaround and haven't really worked with this kind of stuff before. Anyone have any idea which plugin I'm looking for? I know my description doesn't give you a whole lot, but if you know any such plugins that had more specific presets than just "square," "triangle," etc. I'd love to check them out. Thanks.

Thanks for both those suggestions. I believe the one I'm thinking of was freeware, but those two do look pretty solid.

Looking for Audio Units

Good day to all and thank you for your time.
_Can't get enough sounds!!!!_
I'm currently creating most of my projects with Logic's Sound Banks and Vienna Orch, however, they are starting to get boring. And knowing how expensive(expansive, too) these banks could get, does anyone know any spectacular sound banks that's worthwhile? (Looking into a lot of Eastwest ones right now, still contemplating..) How about outboard ones like a YAMAHA Motif rack? Mainly looking for drums and keys, please and thank you!!
Additionally, I now have a couple of projects near completion and I'm looking into digital solutions to my mixdown, so has anyone found any good mixing tools/Plug-ins(Audio Units) that are better than Logic's Factory Plug-ins? (Preferably with mastering capabilities as well. And I personally do think Space Designer is top notch! Just wanted to know if there're any better out there.)
As always, thanks in advance for all suggestions!
One,
Rex.

Native Instruments' Komplete bundle will provide a huge library of sounds:
KONTAKT 3 - sampler comes with 30GB of sounds on its own and it also provides the engine for MANY 3rd party sample libraries.
MASSIVE, ABSYNTH, FM8, PRO-53 - More synth sounds than you'll know what to do with
BATTERY 3 - drum sampler with a bunch of included drums, with the option of adding more
REAKTOR 5 - A modular synth, sampler, audio processing, etc... thing. You can create your own audio thingies if you dare take the time to learn how to, or just use the included thingies or download over 1,000 user-created thingies with your Native Instruments account. I can't say enough about Reaktor.
Additionally, I now have a couple of projects near completion and I'm looking into digital solutions to my mixdown, so has anyone found any good mixing tools/Plug-ins(Audio Units) that are better than Logic's Factory Plug-ins?
Many, many things. I like my Universal Audio UAD plugins, Sonnox, PSP Audioware. There are so many more.

Can I alter pitch bend range via plugin for synths that default to /- 2 semitones?

I am looking for a way to change the pitch bend range to +/- 12 for an AU instrument that does not have the capability to do so within its own settings. Is there some sort of plug-in I can run "after the fact" and assign to that channel to allow for this type of bend range?
Thanks!

It only seems to go a minor 3rd, oddly.
https://www.steinberg.net/en/products/vst/neo_soul_keys/what_you_get.html
Here's a link to the synth page. I've been back and forth with their support team as well. They originally thought I wanted to do a bend event after the fact like in Logic. See below for our exchange.
Neil,
Let me double check. I do not believe it is possible, but I will make sure and let you know.
Thank you
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
I'm actually looking to alter the range prior to recording so that the patch can be properly used with a new type of polyphonic keyboard we recently acquired at our school called a Seaboard.
In order for notes to bend and glissando properly, the pitch bend range for performance must be set at +/- 12 semitones for the start (not the usually 2). Most of the built in synths in Logic and Mainstage allow for this modification, so I was hoping to be able to make that change for NSK as well.
Because the keyboard bends notes directly from the keys, not a pitch wheel, that range is necessary for it to function properly with a particular synth.
Thanks again!
Neil

Looking for Helicopter sound effect

Ive come close to creating it by altering a synth basic sound, but its still off a little. Any ideas?

Are you looking for a helicopter sample, or an AU that makes your pre-existing sound into a helicopter effect?
If it is the former, Hang and Christoph gave you some nice examples, and you can do a google search for "Helicopter Sound Effects."
If it is the latter, this free au plug in does a nice job of simulating it.

LOOKING FOR SOME INSTRUMENT SOFTWARE

Hey does anybody know some really good quality instrument software that I can run midi with logic? I know about the Jam packs but from what I hear they are not as great as they should be. Im looking for drums,orchestra, piano, brass, strings etc. Any help would be great, thanx.

whoa, first i gotta say that the jam packs ARE Excellent! i was a GarageBand user first who has since made the jump to Logic (currently 7.2 and about to upgrade to 8). the jam packs for me were a must for GBand although some of those types of sounds are already in Logic.
For the record jam Packs include the following:
1. Loops. There are 2 kinds of loops. The first is a "real instrument loop" that is a recording of a real musician in a real studio playing real instruments. These are of high quality though i don't personally use them very much except for some of the percussion loops. However these loops have been analyzed and will conform to tempos and keys (within reason) automatically. You may also cut them up at will. i have created some good Amen type breaks as i make Drum and Bass. The new vocal jam pack has some very well recorded and produced samples.
The second kind of loops are midi loops. These can conform to all tempos and keys and can be re-arranged at will. Midi loops can be applied to any Software Instrument these are great if you find something close but want to alter it or for analyzing certain styles. Some of the midi guitar loops suprisingly realistic.
2. All jam packs include Software Instruments. These are of the EXS24 type but can be loaded into both logic and garageband which doesn't feature the EXS24 as it appears in logic, though the basic functionality is there. These instruments can be loaded into GBand and Logic directly. In logic they are in the channel strip settings under GarageBand. They load a simplified version of EXS. The jam packs make use of the instruments by providing loops made with those instruments. Of course you can use the loops and instruments separately.
Here is the break down.
The ReMix Jam Pack (my favorite) is a collection of synthetic sounds primarily for Dance Music. you will find 808's 909's though no 303's. These were made in cooperation with Roland (which is rare) you will also find some great although somewhat simplified synth emulations. The loops are primarily synths and drums but they cover almost every genre of dance from House, Trance Electro and Drum and Bass.
The World Music Jam Pack covers a lot of ground (literally) with asian, latin european, and african instruments and loops. Some of these are great the sitar and steel drums are awesome. Some are disappointing the Bag Pipes for instance. However bag pipes are kind of hard to do and to program correctly however i did download a Amazing Grace midi file and they actually sounded really good.
The Rhythm Section Jam Pack is a more Rock oriented one with electric and acoustic guitars and basses, horns drum etc. there a really good loops and software instruments. Since these instruments are so well known and since people are so used to hearing them played by real musicians careful programming of the virtual instruments is a must for a finished song. But these can be great for sketches to be played by a real musician later. The drum loops are wonderful, very usable and a singer songwriter's dream come true.
The Symphonic Orchestra Jam Pack has exactly what you think it would. I feel less qualified to give an opinion on this but can probably safely say that this would not be able to compete with a larger and much more expensive dedicated symphonic instrument. They are usable for a quick spot of drama or as a symphonic backing.
The last available Jam Pack is the Voices one. This is a weird one because you can't really make a complete vocal line from samples. Mostly because you can't tell a sample what to sing. Also the Voices software instruments are mostly oohhs and ahhs choirs which never sound "real" there is one that you can go through vowels with the mod wheel but again who just talks or sings in vowels? To its credit the samples that are sung by real singers sound incredible though some may find the production a bit OTT. They do work well for my chosen genre which tends to use just vocal snippets and i produced a song that is just lovely using a few lines from one of the "singers" But like all the Jam packs they are completely royalty free and legal to use in a song. They also sync perfectly with Logic and GBand.
There is one more Jam Pack which i don't have because it is no longer available, so I can't really comment on it.
i know this was long and i apologize. i probably should have said. " Don't worry about it just buy Logic 8 because you get the first five Jam Packs (not including voices but it does include the first and no longer available one) FOR FREE!" Even for the full version of Logic it's like buying the Jam Packs and getting Logic for free!
also about the original question about instrument plug-ins. Logic can only use Audio Unit (AU) Plug-ins VSTs will not work in (natively) Logic. For most plug ins you can usually download a "Demo" version to get an idea if it is right for you. There are freeware, shareware, and for pay AU's all over the web and there are multiple forums for discussing them. www.kvraudio.com is an excellent forum completely dedicated to digital audio production with an emphasis on Plug-Ins and many developers of plug-ins actually have their user forums there and communicate directly with users of their products.
I hope this clarifies things- gos

Looking for the upgrade of AW

As my P4 home computer failed, I've to use?the old P2 with AWE64 soundcard again. And i've noticed the big difference between the integrated AD sound of P4 and the sound of old AWE64.
While AWE64 seems to give noticably more distorted sound, I feel it as more melodic and pleasing. The AD seems to give the more balanced sound on simple melodies, but complex melodies sound like sand and cotton wool.
I like the AWE64 sound more, don't know why -- maybe, just nostalgic feelings. Listening to AD tires me, while listening AWE64 reanimated the music that annoyed me on AD.
So, i'm looking for non-expensi've new version of AWE64 for modern computers. I don't need the features like on-board synthesis any more, nor the complex game-oriented arithmetics. I need just the sound card for listening the music, with the clear sound I would like, something that is close to AWE64?sound.
Which sound cards should I pay attention on?

Dont know anymore if the AWE 64 has got SPDIF out, the AWE32 has (+ the AWE32 can get 28Mbyte of RAM, the AWE64 only 24?).
EMU0K/2 cards will have good music synthesis and very good sound. The X-FI is quite superior to this. Even if the MIDI Synth of AWE32 and AWE64 is much beeter in terms of GM compatibility, the newer cards will have better quality and support for greater soundfonts. Get a real audigy or a real X-FI card (not the se or extreme audio versions)

Movie rentals that I downloaded onto iMac with Lion to do not show up on ATV 2 in menu for computers. Purchased movies show up just fine. What to do or look for?

I have an imac that is running lion and an Apple TV generation 2. I have rented a movie from itunes and it shows up on my imac in Itunes under a rental icon, and will play fine on my computer. However, it does not show up as choice to play on my apple tv. I have homesharing enabled and everything else works fine including purchased movies that are on my imac, but no where does it show rental movies.
What do I look for? What do I do to play the rental movie on my apple tv 2?

Answer to my own question:
Wait until the downloaded rental has completed its download to the imac. This took a long time for me, since it was part of several things that I was downloading at the same time.
Finally, it showed up on my apple tv. Interestingly, I was able to watch much of the movie on my iMac before the movie finished its download and was available to the ATV 2.

Looking for a Darknet/Secure BBS app

I have been a fan of Haxial KDX for the longest time, but due to the bugs, etc., I would like to move on. I'm looking for a secure darknet/bbs styled program that supports chat, filesharing, and of basic user management (who can login, who can't, etc..). I have been asking this question all over the web, and haven't gotten (or found) a single response. Waste has never worked right for me, by the way. I would definitely prefer it to be open source, which is why I thought it best to post here. Please help out, or at least direct me somewhere where I should ask... Thanks.
As an aside, the guy who wrote KDX and Hotline (Adam?? Hinckley) claimed on the Haxial website that he is willing to sell the project. I wouldn't mine purchasing and restarting the KDX Project, but I've been unable to get in contact with him. So...if you are him, or know him, or own the rights to Haxial KDX and all related projects...$$$$$

Looking for a simple, standalone desktop app for web stats

Well, I see they've changed the forums here again. SIGH.
Anyway, a certain web host has eliminated AWStats from it's shared hosting. So I used Webmaster Tools. And now they've changed, and no longer display the simple visitors and hits. Google Analytics is way too complex for what I need, as are many of the stats programs I've looked into.
I can download the daily Apache log files, that's no problem. Just looking for a small standalone program to import these and show the data like AWStats. Any suggestions? The only other options would be to go to a different web host. Not a big deal overall, but I would rather not deal with the hassle, especially the migrating the database.

Not sure of standalone 'desktop' apps. But check out http://www.openwebanalytics.com/ and Web Analytics in Real Time | Clicky - they're both very intuitive and easy to use with a lot more simplified stats than Google Analytics.

Looking for Video playback app, like a DDR

Hello, I'm looking for a program to cue up and playback quicktime files for live broadcast off of the computers hard drive. Kind of like a DDR but all running on the computer. It needs to have the ability to cue up files based on keystrokes, like 123 enter = playack of 123, and be pretty quick about it.
I found Playbackpro.... at WWW.DTVideolabs.com but I'm looking for some other options.
Thank you.

Unfortuately I cant load the clips into quicktime since it's crashing when I load them..
Just hoping for a light weight app that's sole function is video file inspection

Looking for a real photo editing app.

I'm looking for something that can precisely resize and crop. None of this slider bullcrap where you can't get pixel level precision. I'd like to be able to crop at exactly 640x960 for example, or resize to exactly 820x620, etc.. Something that can do non destructive edits and that can save a jpeg without compressing it so much that image quality is noticably less. Photogene2 is great (nice edit features and good quality saves) but it can't crop or resize exactly by the pixel. Phototoaster is great (nice edit features and non destructive edits) except it can't crop and resize by the pixel. How hard would it be to provide numerical inputs for crops and resizes? Is there anything out there really worth buying that can do these essential tasks?

Looking for a high-res drawing app for the iPad

I've tried a few of the available iPad drawing apps like Sketchbook Pro and Brushes. It's a little hard to tell, because documentation tends to be short on details, but it appears that most of them (with the exception of Brushes) only let you work and export images at 1024 by 768 resolution. That isn't really high enough resolution for professional work.
Brushes is the only exception I've found. You work on the iPad in Brushes at 1024 by 768, but they have this OS X app that can convert your exported images to a higher res.
To me that's crazy awkward and time-consuming, and I think Brushes is OK as a drawing app, but not necessarily what I'm looking for.
Can anyone give me some better insight into the matter?
Is there some underlying technical reason that all of these apps have a hard limit of 1024 by 768 resolution?
Is there an app other than Brushes that can produce pro-level (high resolution) image files on the iPad?
Thanks,
JS

Yubz Magnum really has great sound. They come in four colors too.

Looking for a program or app

just coming from windows,i dont know if you call them apps or programs? im looking for something that will keep track of customers,money they owe,and money they pay.would be nice if it worked with the calendar and phone book but not necessary.thanks

You didn't provide the actual name of the Windows program you are using so that features or prices can be compared. What do you expect to pay for a program, or do you want to use an online system that has monthly fees?
I don't know of any inexpensive programs for the Mac that are specifically set up for Farriers, but there are many database type programs that might be adapted to your needs. GrandTotal, $79 - offers pretty good integration with the Mac Address Book and Calendar (especially if you get it bundled with their TimeLog program for an extra $10) and it also has an iPhone-iPad program that can read open and due invoices you've created with their program.
You could also take a look at Bento, $49 - from FileMaker, which also has a program for iPhone-iPad. They offer some invoice templates that you can download and modify.
Both of these companies offer free trials.
I haven't used either of these products, but I am looking for something with better integration with my iDevices. The Quickbooks Connect program for iPad only works with the Windows version of Quickbooks Pro 2011 and requires a monthly subscription. Windows users are still complaining about it's lack of features so I'll probably pass.
One of my clients has offered to buy my Quickbooks for Mac, and I might take him up on it if the GrandTotal program works out for me. The program is great, but not very nimble on-the-road.
Hope this helps.
