Midi In/Out and Line Input lowers and twitches?

Iset the line level to 0...and it randomly jumps down and teeters between -7.3 and -7.9...constantly twitches...i can also see the midi in/out on the transport twitching as well...
anyone have any idea whats going on...or more importantly, how to fix it?
thank you...

Now, it may be that the volume slider of the keyrig - given it is used to control MIDI volume, which i assume - has a bad electric connection. Copperworm plague or something like that. Not that i would say that this is typical for a low end hardware, but you would surely have less trouble with another keyboard. But for now, if the M-Audio still has guarantee, take it back to the dealer to have a look at it. If nothing else works, try disconnecting the volume slider or live with it. Sorry, but i don't know any other solution for now.
Have a good time!

Time code and line input

Greetings all,
I am trying to import 16X9 beta footage into my FCP. Since I don't have a Kona card or other direct imput device, I am having to go through my JVC BR-HD50 tape deck as a line input. Then set the FCP to import from a noncontrolable device. It works, with only one problem. I obviously can't get the original timecode that way. Is there a way to change the time code once it's in FCP or, is there a way to do it as it is being brought in?
Any hideas?

Sure. Determine what it should be in each clip you capture, then select a clip, and from the modify menu, select timecode... it will change it in the media file to be what's on the tape.

After it downloaded it had a circle and line through it- and it won't work. i get an error code (-10661) and it says it cannot be launched. whats going on?

i followed all the instructions for downloading firefox. when i tried to drag it into the applications folder it had a circle and line through the icon. it copied into applications successfully, but it won't launch. this mac is really old, G4 from 2000 i think (hand me down) alot of applications will not work with this computer (flashplayer for one, adobe updates ect) because it is so old. what can i do?

Are you getting an error message number with that error message? If so, what number are you getting, please?

I turned my MacBook Pro and got an error message with lines and lines of code and then it turns off

I turned on my MacBook Pro and got an error message with several lines of code and then it turns off

Were you able to see any of the error codes? Have you tried resetting NVRAM (booting while hold cmd+option+p+r until the second chime)?

Can't see control panel as it is grayed out with little squares and lines

printer is on and was working put in new cartridges and all I have is an excalamation point blinking and contorl panle light is on but can read anything as it just has little boxess and lines running up and down on the control panel.

Hi Luke,
Do you know what file would have to be changed in order to show the User in my issue for #1?

Logic Mics, Aggregate Devices and The Input Issue

There is a lot of discussion about Logic's inability to accept simple microphone inputs, and I ran into this for two frustrating DAYS of trying all the things in the Logic Express 8 Docs to fix it—to no avail.
But now it is solved, so I'm trying to create a DEFINITIVE list of steps and principles here so others may quickly blast past this issue.
The equipment I have seems to be emblematic to the problem. The Blue Snowball is one of those USB mics that simply doesn't automatically show up in Logic's Preferences > Devices > Core Audio >Device list. The fix for this is never mentioned in the Logic manual or Getting Started docs that I can find. There is a passing reference on page 100 that is virtually zero help, and does not bother to mention how this Prime Gotcha can bring you to your knees.
Principle #1: Logic uses the Preferences > Devices > Core Audio >Device (list) process to identify which microphone you can record with. The list has to have in it an entry that makes sense for both the incoming audio and the playback path that Logic uses to feed earphones or an external monitor.
Normal items on that list look like this:
Built-in Output/Line Input
Built-in Output/Digital Input
Built-in Line Output/Input
Built-in Line Output/Digital Input
Built-in Digital Output/Line Input
Built-in Digital Output/Input
The Built-in Output is the computer’s inner speaker or headphones. The Built-in Line Output is the computers stereo jack for feeding to an amplifier. The Built-in Digital Output is the fiber optic feed that can also feed an amp with up to six parallel audio channels (okay, 5.1 channels).
Nothing on that list will show a fully functional USB microphone that is being viewed on the computer’s System Prefs > Sound > Input page, even though the metering dots there show that the computer sees a live, active microphone.
Selecting the Mic in the Sound prefs page does nothing to pass it on to the Logic > Preferences > Devices > Core Audio >Device list of selectable items. This is frustrating, since GarageBand sees the live mic without any problem, but GB is a simpler program that has fewer options while Logic has many other potentials, so a one-size-fits-all solution may not be its best default setting.
To get the mic into Logic, you have to go into the Audio MIDI Setup utility program where a peculiar option appears that is called “Aggregate Device”.
This keyword is not found in the Mac docs, and understanding it seems to be a big secret. Even the Audio MIDI Setup help page will show you how to find it, but not how it works or how to use it for Logic. Ahem.
You open Audio MIDI Setup and under its header bar Audio is only one item, sure enough, Open Aggregate Device Editor. That opens a window that has two sections, an upper window with Aggregate Devices / In / Out across its top, and a lower window that shows all the options that the computer is aware of. The lower window is called “Structure:” and columns show Clock / Use / Audio Device / In / Out / Resample.
A default item “Aggregate Device” shows in the top panel, and you can add others and double click on one to change its name. You can make many variations here.
By default these will be present:
Built-in Line Input
Built-in Digital Input
Built-in Output
Built-in Line Output
Built in Digital Output
At the bottom of this list any other audio input devices that are plugged into the computer should show up. If they can be seen in the System Prefs > Sound > Input page, they’ll be here, too.
When I plug my Blue Snowball USB mic into the computer, it shows up here as Blue Snowball.
You create an Aggregate Device by clicking on your sound source, in my case, the Blue Snowball, then adding one or more other options.
When you click the Use check box for any entry, it pops to the top of the list.
Principle #2: An Aggregate Device is used by Logic to “see” both an audio input and an audio output path at the same time. The Device you’re creating at this point must include an input Audio Device AND at least one Output item to be fully functional for Logic. A Help page in Audio MIDI Devices called “Combining multiple audio devices” explains this in bare bones, but you can’t see that help page unless the Audio MIDI Devices utility is open.
In my case, I’ve checked the Blue Snowball and Built-In Line Output, so I can use that combo in Logic to define where the mic is coming from and where the Logic audio output should go to my line-input amp and speakers.
In the Audio MIDI Setup utility, simply selecting the Blue Snowball as the “Default Input:” device and/or the “Properties For:” options shows that the Audio Output area of the page has this cryptic message: “Output is not supported.”
At this point, you’re almost ready to go, and you can close the Audio MIDI Setup utility. But there is at least one more “gotcha” to conquer.
Principle #3: Logic ONLY looks for its list of usable Core Audio Devices when it starts up. If you have it open right now, all the choices made for Aggregate Device will not show up as selectable. Save any work in Logic, shut it down, then boot it up again.
Now you can use Logic's Preferences > Devices > Core Audio >Device list to see your Aggregate Device. I’ve named mine “Snowy Line Out” to trigger my recognition of what it contains. Another one is called “Snowball + Line + Digital” and it has both line and digital outputs aggregated to the Snowball mic input.
You can make one in the Aggregate Device Editor that combines a microphone plus earphones (Built-in Output) plus Line and/or Digital Outs, too. You'll have to switch among them in Logic as you work, but each will carry the live mic direct to recording.
I hope this gets you through the frustration of not knowing what to do when confronted with the lack of clear docs and complete steps to get a USB mic or other seemingly opaque input issue. Feel free to add to this so others in my former state of bewilderment can gain understandings.
If Steve Jobs were to encounter the level of opacity, ambiguousness and frustration that setting up a simple USB microphone can create in Logic, you can bet that the several programs and their intimate interdependency would be either automated or fully explained in the documentations that followed his fiery analysis of the issue.

I don't know of another way to get the Blue Snowball USB mic to show up in Logic. If you can do it without having to go through the Aggregate Device route, feel free to post here how to get that to happen.
I didn't have a different mic available when I started trying to do what seemed to be the simplest of things -- record and play back an audio track -- and nothing else seemed to work.
There are a lot of Aggregate Device threads around here, many associated with Blue Snowball, Blue Snowflake and other things, but none of them laid out the principles of how Aggregate Device Setup needs to work or what to do to force it into compliance.
As I said, the clues in the Logic docs and in-mac docs are minimalist, at best, none of them bringing instant head slaps of success readily.

PDF PO Release - XML Tags for the Header and Line Attachments

Hi,
I request you to please help me in finding out the XML tags for the PDF PO Release Header and Line Attachments? I tried to get the XML data by running the 'PO Output for Communication' program with the parameter as 'Debug' but its completing normally without giving me the XML data in the log file.
Please help me in finding the XML tags for the PDF PO Release for the Header and Line Attachments.
Thanks,
Kunal

Hi Kunal,
Following syntax will get you the header and line level short and long text attachments.
--Header short text attachments
<?for-each:HEADER_SHORT_TEXT_ROW?>
     <?SHORT_TEXT?>
<?end for-each?>
--Header long text attachments
<?for-each:/PO_DATA/HEADER_ATTACHMENTS/LONG_TEXT?>
     <?.?>
<?end for-each?>
--Line short text attachments
<?for-each:LINE_SHORT_TEXT_ROW?>
     <?SHORT_TEXT?>
<?end for-each?>
--Line long text attachments
<?variable@incontext:PoLnID;'PO_LINE_ID'?><?for-each:/PO_DATA/LINE_ATTACHMENTS/ID[. =$PoLnID]?>
     <?current()[$PoLnID]/preceding-sibling::TEXT[1]?>
<?end for-each?>
Also note that, while running the program in Debug mode for a particular PO/Release the status should be INCOMPLETE, otherwise you won't be able to see the XML tags.
Thanks,
PS.

White dots and lines are flickering through my iPad Air's screen and sometimes I have to hard reboot to get the screen to work...ideas?

I just got this iPad Air (32 GB wi-fi only) brand new from an Apple store on Saturday, so it's definitely not an issue of wear and tear. Basically, it looks like my iPad has bad TV reception, there's snow everywhere and lines running up and down the screen occasionally. It's not immediately noticeable, but once you do notice it you realize that it's on the entire screen. I managed to make it go away once by rebooting it which I found odd. I noticed this last night. Today, it was working fine when I woke up but a few hours later the screen wouldn't turn on. I could use Siri still so I knew the iPad was on and funtional, but I couldn't see anything. I managed to finally get it to work by hard rebooting it (Hold down top button + home) and it came alive again, but still has the snow. I rebooted it again and it didn't go away this time. Has anyone ever heard of this and if so is there anything I can do short of taking it into a store to get it replaced? It's obviously still under warrenty and I took Apple Care on it, so I'm not frantic about this, but if there's a DIY fix out there that would be great.

I don't have AppleCare and my computer is no longer under warranty, so if I have to take it in, how much do you think it will cost me?
If the machine matches your profile, Mac OS X (10.7.4), iMac 27', 2012 model, refurbished, then it should be covered under the first year of use. Contact Apple's Express Lane and verify. If it is, then after getting it fixed, purchase AppleCare—the cheapest insurance policy available for Macs.

What else do I do when it freezes up and lines show up all over the screen?

I'll show you what I mean.
(Was watching a music video)
Whenever I watch a video/tv show I can see the video clear at first,but after a couple of seconds my iPod freezes up and lines show up and spread all over the screen. I already reseted it. I did that a couple of times already. What else should I do?
I just bought my 30gb iPod Video on Monday. Should I return it? What happens if I do? Exchange it for a good one? What will it cost me?
I'm sorry if this topic has already been posted before,I'm new to this forum,so I don't really know.
I need help while it's still early.

You can try restoring your IPOD wipes everything out and then you reload everything back on. Read this:

Why am I getting black boxes and lines in Facebook chat area?

I just installed the latest version of Firefox as well as the latest version of my graphics card drivers, and Adobe Flash Player. When I open Facebook, I get black boxes and lines all over the left side of the screen where my chat contacts are. I am wondering why this is happening and if there is a current fix to it, as it is rather annoying. When I hover my mouse next to or over the black boxes and lines, they move and continue to pop up elsewhere but only on the friends/chat area.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Logic to fetch delivered and invoiced Qty using sales order and line no

Hi Experts,
I am creating a Sales Order report in which I need to Fetch the delivered Quantity and Invoiced Quantity fields.
I am currently going to VBFA table and pass SO and line item number and fetch all data. Then I perform addition/ subtraction to remove cancelled quantities. this is making the logic complicated.
Is there any standard Function module/ or table or BAPI which can fetch the Delivered and Invoiced quantities directly?
Regards,
Onkar B

Hi,
First pass the sales order number into "VBFA" table into the field "VBELV".
Execute or Press F8.
Get the document number of the delivery from "VBELN".
Pass the same delivery document numebr into "LIPS" table into the field "VBELN".
Execute.
Get the value of the delivery quantity from the field "LFIMG" in this table.
Next got the table "VBFA".
Pass the delivery document number into the field "VBELV".
Execute or Press F8.
Get the document number of the billing document from "VBELN".
Pass the same billing document numebr into "VBRP" table into the field "VBELN".
Execute.
Get the value of the invoiced quantity from the field "FKIMG" in this table.
Like this we have to get the delivery and invoice quantities.
Regards,
Krishna.

1DC- Sound Recording via Line input woes

Have the latest firmware update on my 1DC. There are 3 issues I am hoping someone can help with
#1 I assume you must set Sound recording to 'Line input' and NOT manual, but if I set the Rec level, whenever the camera is powered off, either automatically or manually, this Rec level is ALWAYS reset to zero. Also, the moment recording is startted, even though audio input levels are set correctly, no audio is recorded. This seems like a firmware bug to me. This does NOT happen when set to manual. Anyone know of a workaround?
When using Manual and plugging in an external audio source I assume this signal will override the audio from the camera's internal mic.
If this is correct and there are no issues when using 'Manual', then what is the difference between 'Manual' and "Line input'??
#2 When setting Sound input to Manual, the VU meters are visible, but NOT when set to Line input. Why?
#3 Can anyone recommend a specific connector to go from line out on a Zoom H6 to Mic in on the 1DC?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No. Apparently a buggy firmware release. My understanding is that there is another release planned soon. Hopefully with several new (and working) features in addition to the line input.
Using Manual with a -25dB cable for now.

Am trying to record a basic guitar track while I sing along. I don't want my vocals to be recorded at the same time but the internal mic seems to be picking up the vocal and guitar sounds. I tried System Preferences, Sound, Line In - Audio Line Input.

for me it turned out that the jack into the iMac was loose. Once I fiddled with it everything worked okay

GX740 - Anyone get two TRUE separate audio streams out Headphones and LINE OUT?

Hoping for an update on this. I asked MSI via their support section and wow... what a FAIL that was:
Quote
Do you have new specific drivers that allow TRUE 4 channel output? 2 out the headphones and 2 separate out the LINE OUT as implied by the design? I've tried everything and it doesn't work.
I've tried ASIO4YOU drivers - doesn't work.
I've tried every RealTek driver out there - nothing.
Yes, I've set the RealTek driver to do multiple out but it sends the audio out the HDMI port, NOT THE LINE!
I know this can be done cause you can set the REALTEK for 7.1 and you get separate streams out the headphones and line-out ports!
Please - you've sold a laptop with "Headphone Out" and "Line Out" yet it fails to actually do that - NEW DRIVERS PLEASE?

Dear Customer,
Please go to msi global website to download the audio driver,then install it.
audio driver:
http://www.msi.com/service/download/nbdriver-15227.html
Needless to say, that did nothing. In fact, I can't understand how I could of received such an answer given it made no sense what-so-ever. Download the driver that came with it? One that's now almost a year old?
Regardless... I've tried that one. I've tried the latest RealTek drivers. I've tried a multitude of ASIO drivers. NOTHING WORKS. Yes, I've set the RealTek to send TWO SEPARATE STREAMS. That does NOTHING. The only thing I've been able to ascertain is that you can send one stream out the headphone/line out (same thing) AND one out the HD port which is useless.
Here's the pain in the ass: If you go to the RealTek setup and change it to 7.1 and hit TEST, you DO hear separate output out the HEADPHONE JACK and the THIRD Audio Out jack which is the side fills so I know this laptop CAN spit audio out two separate outputs sitting on the side of the computer.
Why do I want to do this:
Simple. I'm lugging around an external audio interface for DJing and it's a pain. I'd rather just tap the headphones out for, well, headphones and send the line out or that third audio output to the DJ mixer. Done! I've tried MIXMEISTER, VIRTUAL DJ, NOTHING WORKS! I can select various strangely named outputs insinuating speaker out, speaker out + 1, etc... but no... it doesn't work at all...
Sooooooooo... has ANYONE been able to get this to work? I'd love to know...

Yea Stu... been through this part... Playback devices show the typical:
1. Speakers (Realtek) -> Plays on ext. speakers but sounds like just treble. Headphone Out plays this stream.
2. RealTek HD Audio 2nd output -> Plays on ext. speakers but sounds like bass/mids. No treble. NO OUTPUT PLAYS THIS. Plug anything in and sound from the speakers just shuts off
3. Realtek HDMI Output (Not selectable)
4. Realtek Digital Output (Not selectable)
So yea, it seems right out of the box there is a problem with the sound on this unit. Choosing speakers sounds like crap (no mid/bass) and choosing HD Audio 2nd output sounds like crap (all mid/bass no treble).
There is no discrete dual audio out the jacks.
HOWEVER - Go choose 7.1 from the realtek setup and do a test. Well what do you know, DISCRETE 2ND AUDIO OUTPUT OUT THE HEADPHONE JACK AND THE 3RD OUTPUT JACK OF THE 4 IN A ROW. This PROVES you can have two discrete stereo audio streams coming out the output jacks. Just need someone to write the driver for it.
Here's the thing. This laptop HAS 4 1/8" JACKS. SEE:
Here's what the manual says about the output jacks:
