Midi gurus need your input please

Hey guys,
My question seems quite simple, but I'm just making sure I'm not doing something that's gonna cause issues.
The setup.
MOTU 828MkII (has 1 in 1 out midi)
M-Audio 88es controller (just midi out)
Mackie Universal Controller (1 each)
Mackie Extender controller (1 each)
Mackie C6 (1 each)
considering the above setup, I need to get them all hooked up right to Logic. Do I simply get a MOTU MIDI Express XT USB, or ????
Can I just daisy chain them? (out the m-daudio, into the MUC, out that to MEC, out that to MC6, out that to 828 which is connected via firewire to Mac) If so is there a drawback?
I'm not too up and up on how to best get midi hooked and performing right, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I just got the Mackie stuff, so I am a bit baffled by what the best way to connect things is. Mackie recommends some kind of Midi 'patch bay', but before I drop another couple hundred bucks wanted to make sure I needed to and am doing it right.
Thanks

If you can find a used Unitor 8mk2.. get it. maybe there is one on ebay.
They work really well with Logic.
I also have a motu midi timepiece that works well.
Both have SMPTE ins.
The other guys are correct, you need a separate port for each piece of control surface.
So a multi-port midi interface is what is needed. The models I mantion have smpte (LTC) as well.

    In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 14:
    Check your USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
    If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
    Try a different computer.
    If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
    If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.

    I need your help, PLEASE. How can to fix "NO MOUNTABLE FILE SYSTEM" error of my back up hard drive on Mountain Lion OS?

    Did you format the drive for Mac use before you tried to use it as a backup drive?
    Are you using Time Machine on the drive? You can't view the contents of its backup database and the only way to access the info is directly from the Time Machine app.

  • HT201328 Hey, i bought an iphone from online shop and its locked by orange france, i contact them to unlock it but they refused, they said that we regret to inform you that we'r not able to unlock second hand phones? I need your help please.

    Hey, i bought an iphone from online shop as a used phone and its locked by orange france, i contact them to unlock it but they refused, they said that we regret to inform you that we'r not able to unlock second hand phones? I need your help please. Its not fair , apple should figure it out
    Regards,
    Orange

    This is no different with any carrier locked phone. Getting a carrier locked phone officially unlocked is the responsibility of the carrier, not the cell phone manufacturer. A cell phone manufacture cannot unlock a carrier locked phone without the carrier's authorization.
    An iPhone sold as officially unlocked when new can be used by others as a second hand phone, and the same with any carrier locked iPhone that can be unlocked by the carrier, and many carriers offer it.

  • HT4623 I. Tried many time to install my apple to update software but can't fix I need your help please and Thanks.

    That doesnt tell us anything useful. You need to post EXACTLY what you did and EXACTLY what happened, including any error messages.

  • Gurus, Provide your inputs - Query Tuning

    HI All,
    This Query is taking lot of time to execute.
    IS it possible to tune this Query,
    Let i summarize record counts of each of the table.
    Actual Query:
    SELECT COUNT (1)

    AND u.en_id = 'AAA123'
    AND u.udf_id = '26U2'
    AND u.code = c.code

  • I need your help, please. I can't get my photostream synchronized

    Dear friends, I need your help again!!!
    My photostream from my computer, windows vista, is not updating the pictures on my photostream in neither one of my IOS devices.
    I'm sure that the photostream in both IOS are turned on. In my computer it is also turned on.
    For example, I tranferred some pictures from a normal file to the photostream in the computer and I expected that them went also to my
    iphone and ipad, but it not occurred.
    Please, do you have some advise for me?
    Thanks in advance.

    first i would try a simple restart of your computer and your iPad and see if they show up after they reboot. Also which folder are you putting them in? on windows there will be a seperate folder in the photostream folder that will show upload/uploads you will want to make sure they are in there. Also here are some basics about photostream to make sure you are meeting all the requirements and are not over your limit, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486

  • WebCenter 11g Ps3 Tutorial: need your input

    I am starting a little new project. The idea is to build a hands on tutorial about webcenter ps3. In the tutorial you will build a complete webcenter portal from scratch. I will explain every single line of code we will write. We will start with a regular webcenter portal application and build from there on so no pre build application were we only do a few modification. Everything will be explained from scratch.
    By the end of the tutorial you should be able to build a fully portal by yourself.
    I have an outline ready for the tutorial but i also want your input. If you guys want a topic covered in the tutorial, please let me know and i can consider it adding it to the tutorial.
    You can leave a comment here or add it to my blogpost about it: http://www.yonaweb.be/coming_soon_webcenter_11g_ps3_tutorial

  • PT880 Neo 4 red led, Need your help please!!

    Hello all
    It is my first post and I need your help. Today I purchased a combo P4 3/800 E Box CPU, MSI PT880 Neo FSR Mboard  and DDR 512MB 3200 VS Corsair 400Mhz 184 Pin Dimm from Fry's Electronic. I can not get my system to boot , no beep but only 4 red led and nothing on the screen. I used on my system Enermax 300W with DVD burner, DVD player, 60G HD, SBlive 5.1, ALL in Wonder Radeon 32Mb..After I am following all recommendation in the defferents Topic, I have no luck it won't boot. The 4 red leds are still on. Help me please thank you
    Brono85

    I've just got my Noisetaker 470watts too, it has the same rails as CoolerGiant , but I like CoolerGiant's active cooling system for both CPU and PSU , just that it's too lengthy and my chassis was small in size .
    Back to the topic, likewise anr11 mentioned, you may need a BIOS flash and you can use Memtest86 to test your RAMs out .

  • HT201210 I tried to update to IPad 5.1, but when it finished and tried to restore the backup, it shows me that Itunes could not back up because a session could not be started with iPad. need your help please

    I tried to update to IPad 5.1, but when it finished and tried to restore the backup, it shows me that Itunes could not back up because a session could not be started with iPad. need your help please

    This has happened to me a couple of times and what I do is quit iTunes and restart my Mac and then try again and then it will work.
    If iTunes has already created the backup, you should still be able to restore from the backup when you are connected to iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes and select restore from backup. After the process completes, sync with iTunes to transfer all of your apps, music, photos and other media back onto the iPad.

  • I need your advices please

    I want to buy a canon camera 
    and i'm not sure yet 
    i think that i'll buy this one !!
    if you don't agree 
    please giveme some choices
    [Mod note - removed broken link]

    The link you provided is not working.
    Everything depends on the type of photos you are planning to take and the type of photographer you are when making a choice for a new camera. For instance, if you are the type of person who will always be shooting in the Auto mode, and posting to social media, then most low cost compact cameras should suit you fine. If you want to get a lot of fast action shots, then you may need an enthusiast camera or DSLR. If you are into wildlife, you may want a camera with a long zoom range. If you are into nature photography, then a bridge camera may be your answer.
    Deciding factors will include your budget (price range), how well the camera fits in your hands, flexibility of the camera to use other shooting modes such as full manual control, and if you want to shoot in RAW mode as well as JPEG. You will need to let us know a bit more information so that the community can assist you better. Overall, the final choice will be yours as the opinions given may or may not suit your style, but should be a guide in helping you make a more informed choice.
    Good luck and hope we can all help you in some way!

  • Desire to replace my hard drive... need your input!

    I have an almost 3 year old Powerbook and I am in need of more space. My 100 gig hard drive is being stretched thin by work and I tire of carrying around mutliple 4gig-80gig externals.
    So I would love to put in a 160 gig hard drive to help simplify things (not to mention I was told it's not a horrible idea to replace a HD after 3 years) and throw my 100 in an external case as backup.
    So I looked on Newegg and found a Western Digital for about $110 then I called my local Apple Authorized retailer (Firsttech, who I have generally had good experiences) to check on prices if I didn't want to do it myself.
    The quoted me:
    $180 for the drive
    $125 for transfering everthing to the new drive
    $125 for labor to replace the drive
    This all seems a little steep to me. Can I get your guys thoughts on this?
    I saw the forum post about how to replace the hard drive yourself and it looks do-able, but I have never dug into my Powerbook any further than RAM replacement.
    What do you guys think?
    2.66 Mac Pro 2gigs RAM ATI and 7300 cards; Powerbook G4 17in   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    To do the transfer before hand put the drive you are about to swap in inside a Firewire hard drive case and use Shirt-Pocket Superduper to clone your information.
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    Test its ability to boot your machine, and then it is ready to be transferred internally.
    Then you'll have a clone which can be moved into your internal.
    http://www.macsales.com/ offers Firewire hard drive cases for 2.5" Parallel ATA drives.
    And then in the future, simply update your backup with Superduper to another Firewire hard drive of equivalent or greater size, and use the old internal for one of your archival storage mediums.

  • Error message 1418 ... I need your help please!!!!

    I cannot connect my shuffle because is not recognized (in Win explorator) and when i try to copy music, i have an error message saying "the ipod cannot updated. REad and write are impossible on this disk..."
    Someone have an idea ??
    PS: i already install the new version of Itunes (7.0.2)
    thanks a lot !!

    As per your question it appears that your requirement is
    1. Define a earning which is dependent on Grade of the employee .
    2. Define a deduction which is percentage of total earning .
    3. Define an IR which is an earning ( I assume , though its not clear from your requirement ) .
    Step 1.
    You can Write a fast formula which returns the value to be paid based on the assignments current Grade ( Use formula function for returning the required value ).
    Step 2 .
    Attach the Fast formula created in step 1 with ann_sal and make a return the result as Direct Result in the "Pay Value" of ann_sal
    Step 3.
    As per Oracle priority of earnings should be greater than that of deduction deduction hence we need to process "IR" before the deduction so that taxes are calculated correctly.
    But make sure that the priority of IR is lesser than the priority of other earning element so that it can be calculated once all the earning elements are calculated.
    Step 4
    Write a fast formula in which you calculate Assur as per your business requirement
    Now do calculations for IR as per your algorithm .
    Return the calculated value .
    Step 5 .
    Attach formula created in step 4 to IR and make a return the result as Direct Result in the "Pay Value" of IR
    Step 6.
    Now write one more fast formula to calculate assur .
    Use "_ASG_RUN" as the balance dimension in the fast formula to get dbi values. You can refer any seeded formula .
    Now associate the formula with the deduction.
    Hope it helps.
