More Cowbell - lining things up...

Folks -
I recently penned a song that actually does have a cowbell in it. I also programmed the drum tracks on a DR-770 and then dumped them into Logic. So far so good. Now when I hear JUST the drums and the cowbell together, something sounds just a hair off. Is there an easy way for me to take the cowbell track, show it next to the drum tracks, and observe just where on the beat things fall? Both are in MIDI and rendered in Audio. The MIDI answer is not as simple as 'just quantize it' - I really do need to see the two MIDI (or sometimes Audio) tracks side by side. Is there a way to do this in Logic?
Many thanks!!

Hi all
Hopefully something a bit "outside the box" will help here.
Have you tried inserting the snippet inside a single cell
table? You could hide the borders, then center the table as Peter
suggested.
Just a thought... Rick

  • ITunes 8.1 Can't Seem to do More Than One Thing at a Time

    I upgraded to 8.1 and now, rather than a "faster" iTunes experience as was advertised on Apple's website, iTunes can't seem to do more than one thing at a time without locking up the application completely. For instance, when trying to download podcasts if I choose to hit more than one "Get" button at a time iTunes will freeze up until the first podcast has completely downloaded. During this time I cannot access any other screen in iTunes at all.
    This freezing of iTunes also occurred while I was trying to sync my iPhone 3G. I received the Calendar sync error that a few other people have mentioned on the forum and wanted to turn off Calendar sync (since I don't use it and don't understand why iTunes turned it on by default, apparently, after the upgrade) but I had to wait for my iPhone 3G to completely sync before I could gain access to any of the tabs in the iPhone sync window.
    So, basically it seems like the new version of iTunes (8.1) really doesn't like to be bothered while it is trying to copy data from one place to another.
    Any ideas?

    I'm using Vista Ultimate 64-bit and iTunes 8.1 installed OK, but required a restart of the entire OS after upgrading. It takes forever to launch, clicking on certain items (like applications) causes itunes to freeze for about 15-30 seconds before it continues (this is actually something that's been there since the introduction of the app store), I've had to switch my library view to LIST and avoid any sort of album art. Using album art to view my library causes iTunes to be extremely, obnoxiously unresponsive.
    The best part - plugging in my iPhone to sync it... iTunes simply sits there dumbly - doesn't even recognize that I've plugged my iPhone in. So now I can't even sync. QUALITY product, quality. So the app I'm FORCED to use to manage my phone doesn't even work after upgrading. Outstanding.
    I'm terrified of uninstalling and reinstalling... the last time I did that with iTunes it jacked my library up... it "lost" all of my music... basically it disassociated all of the music (even the stuff purchased through the itunes store) with the index file so I had to re-import EVERY song and delete the duplicate entry.
    I searched a ton of forums looking for any clues as to how I could improve performance... All I run into is apple fan boys flaming any and all forums to the point of PC *****, no Apple *****, and so forth. Extremely unhelpful.
    The fact is this - if I wasn't forced to use iTunes to manage my non-jailbroken iPhone 3G, then I'd dump it completely. It is a horrible app. Why punish the customers that haven't gone the route of "jail breaking" their iPhones?
    One individual on one of the forums suggested that blue screens, and all the other random errors, including slow performance were due to a lack of RAM. I have 4GB of RAM on my machine I can run a virtual Fedora core 9 machine and a virtual WinXP machine on my Vista x64 box and still not have any performance issues with those two virtuals in the background sucking up system resources, yet with nothing open and less than 50% of my 4GB of RAM in use iTunes performance is abysmal. I have not run into any other application on my Vista machine that performs as badly as iTunes.
    And Apple is touting a "64-bit" version of iTunes - it isn't. The applications the 64-bit installer installs are all 32-bit.
    So, I'm searching as the two of you are for an answer to horrible performance of iTunes.
    Even exiting out of iTunes takes a day and a half... "saving itunes library".... And my "library" isn't that big.

  • How do I highlight more than one thing at a time on a Mac please

    how do I highlight more than one thing at a time on a Mac please

    Do you mean items in Finder?
    To highlight (select) a whole block of items :
    - click the top item you want
    - hold down Shift
    - click the bottom item you want
    The whole range from top to bottom will be highlighted
    To select random items :
    - click the first item
    - hold down the Command key
    - click any more items anywhere in the list
    Just the items you clicked will be highlighted
    This technique works also in apps like iTunes, iPhoto, etc.

  • Can a thread do more than one thing at once?

    Hey all,
    I'm confused a little bit on how a thread might act in this situation:
    I have a server-client setup. The thread on the Client sits and waits to receive instructions from the server. When it does, it manipulates some ArrayLists I have in the Client in different ways depending on what the instructions from the server were. What would happen if I sent two instructions from the server, one right after the other, and they both had to manipulate the same ArrayList. I was going to synchronize the methods operating on the arraylists, but I didn't know if that would work since it's really just one thread. But then, since it's just one thread, can it do more than one thing at a time? Or will it queue them up somehow? Thanks!

    It appears you have a central "server" which sends back updates/instructions to the client in a server-push approach.
    When it does, it manipulates some ArrayLists I have in the Client in different ways depending on what the instructions from the server were. What would happen if I sent two instructions from the server, one right after the other, and they both had to manipulate the same ArrayList. Are both instructions sent on the same connection? Does your client only read the next instruction after performing the previous one. Are you using multiple connections and do you create a thread for each connection?
    I was going to synchronize the methods operating on the arraylists, but I didn't know if that would work since it's really just one thread. If you have only one thread you don't need to use synchronized.
    But then, since it's just one thread, can it do more than one thing at a time? No.
    Or will it queue them up somehow? Yes. Each connection has a buffer at both ends. When the buffers fill the sender blocks waiting for the receiver to read the data.

  • Execute more than one thing at the same time.

    Hey why every time i want to execute more than one thing(create tables) at the same time
    it say "ORA-00911: invalid character" , i dont wanna execute one thing at a time. check the pic please
    http://img370.imageshack.us/img370/5120/oraclesw5.jpg
    but in my school i use something called isqlplus and i can execute all the things i want at the same time with-out any error.
    im using right-know
    Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Product
    PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
    CORE 10.2.0.1.0 Production
    TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production

    1) Unless you are using something like DBMS_JOB, SQL*Plus, iSQL*Plus, the Oracle XE web-based front-end, or any other application is going to execute one SQL statement at a time.
    2) There is a dedicated XE forum-- the folks over there might know how to run a script using this particular front-end.
    3) Assuming the XE database is on your local system, you should be able to log in via SQL*Plus and use that utility to run your scripts.

  • Syncing Issues when trying too sync more than one thing

    since the 8.0.2 update syncing has been real glitchy for me lately when i try too sync my iphone and ipod. for whatever reason, i cant sync more than one thing at the same time. for example if i have my iphone still plugged in, then plug in my ipod too update it, soon after the itunes would give me a unknown error then lock up. specifically this error. http://img407.imageshack.us/my.php?image=unknownituneserrorjq3.jpg
    sometimes it would say iphone, sometimes it would say ipod.. that error would just depend on which was plugged in first.
    its just weird, windows detects both drives fine. and if i have them in one at a time itunes will be able to read and sync that device. unless this is a direct problem with my computer which i dont think, i dunno. both devices work in any usb port. it just doesnt like them both being in at the same time.
    this happening with anyone else?

    See this support doc, iPod for Windows: Only works with one iPod at a time. The title pretty much says it all. If it's worked for you before then it's more likely by luck than design.

  • Can't do more than one thing at a time using the internet

    Hi
    I've recently bought a Mac Book Pro and it detected my existing wireless connection and connected to my Belkin router without a problem.
    I've noticed however that if, for example, I'm uploading a video to YouTube, or some photos online, I can't then connect to anything else on the internet either via a new tab or a new internet window. When I try to do so it searches for a while (and this happens on both Safari and Firefox) and then comes up with a "Server not found" error message. It feels as though the uploading is closing any other access to the internet.
    I didn't have any problems doing simultaneous internet access when I was using the same router/wireless set up with my PC, so I think it must be something I haven't done with the Mac?
    Any help really gratefully received!
    Neil

    Please repost this in the MacBook Pro Forum, where it's more likely someone can help you, or create a new thread in that forum, with a reference to this thread.

  • How can I delete more that one thing at a time in iTunes

    How can more than more than one song be deleted in iTunes on computer?

    If you slect one Song then hold down the shift key and click on another song, those two songs and all the songs between them will be selected, and can be deleted at once.
    If you select a song, hold down the Ctrl key and click another song, that other song will also be selected (but not the ones in between). Holding down control and clicking another song gives you three different songs selected at once, and so on. All the selected songs can be deleted at once.

  • Can I do more then one thing on the Ipone 4?

    I had a music app going and went to look something up and it stopped the music app. With my Blackberry I could surf the internet and do other things such as phone calls etc. Does the Iphone 4 have that same capability?

  • If i want to write something that waits for more then one thing

    how do i do that?
    if it's for one thing i'll write:
    sinchronized(a){
    while (true){
    wait();
    my_code();
    }

    He's not saying he wants to wait for multiple
    conditions. Unless I just don't understand what he's
    saying (real possibility there.):) It sounded to me like he wanted to wait for multiple things to happen.
    CountDownLatch works fine for waiting on multiple
    threads. If one thread wants to force the await() to
    end, it can force the latch count to zero. Any thread
    can also call interrupt() on the waiting thread (as
    long as it has a reference to the thread object.)A CountdownLatch set to one can also be used to wait for one of a set of events to occur. Of course you'd need further information to determine which event it was.
    The kinds of "events" can influence the shape of the solution here. Eg if you're interested in muiltiple I/O events then you need to use an I/O framework that supports a select-style operation.

  • Why can't i buy more than one thing at a time?

    I have 20+ items in my Wish List & I can find no way to buy all of them at once...only one at a time.  Since that is a highly irritating way to make my purchases, I have to believe that I am missing something somewhere - is there no shopping cart anywhere?
    Thank you.

    For some reason the 'buy all' button that used to appear on the wish list screen has been removed from the current version of iTunes, so you will need to buy items individually by clicking on their prices. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and mayeb the 'buy all' button will be reinstated in a future update : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Logic 8 crashes everytime I use it more than 10 minutes, please help

    Hi, I am new on this forum, so hi everyone.
    I just bought these 3 items:
    1) new mac Pro 8-core that it comes with Leopard 10.5
    2) new Logic 8 pro studio
    3) new digi 003 rack
    I instaled the protools 7.3 software and the problems began! I got an error window saying that I had some missing extensions or somethin like that, later A safary window appeared saying to instal some interlock extensions, I did install it, after finishing the instalation I tryied to launch protools but the hardware was not found. I went to digidesign website and realized about the incompatibility between leopard and protools, so I uninstalled the protools software and desconected the digi 003 from my computer and uninstalled the interlock extensions.
    ok so far...
    After all this I decided to instal Logic 8 pro (I never used Logic before, alwyas work with protools) so I could start to familiarize with the program, but after working a little bit with it, Logic crashed, so I launched it again and the same thing happened to me. I had this problem about 6 times in two days!
    So I verifyied disck permissions and I got a lot of errors going on; "Something in system/library/usertemplates etc...was unexpected and it should be whatever..." these kind of errors, about 30 in total. By the way, I have an small prohibbited icon over the "USERTEMPLATES" folder. after all this I click on repair disck permissions but nothing was repaired, every error showed again after running once more the verifying thing! so I launched logic praying to be able to work more than an hour but... logic crashed three times in a row in less than 1 hour work. So I decided to kill the people from the store! no, seriously, I reinstalled the Leopard on my computer with an erase and install from the original dvd. Notice that every time logic crashed I was doing something diferent, it crashed once while opening an instrument, other while doing time streching in factory, other just at the begining etc...
    After instaling today again leopard and logic 8 with all the updates from apple/software update (mac os 10.5.2, logic 8.0.1) I still have the same problems;
    -Logic crash very often whatever you are working on
    -Disk permissions problems:
    Verificando permisos de “INTERNO1”
    Se ha encontrado una lista de control de acceso en “Applications/Utilities” que no se esperaba.
    Se ha encontrado una lista de control de acceso en “Applications” que no se esperaba.
    Se ha encontrado una lista de control de acceso en “Library” que no se esperaba.
    Se ha encontrado una lista de control de acceso en “System/Library/User Template/Spanish.lproj/Sites” que no se esperaba.
    Se ha encontrado una lista de control de acceso en “System/Library/User Template/Spanish.lproj/Desktop” que no se esperaba.
    Se ha encontrado una lista de control de acceso en “System/Library/User Template/Spanish.lproj/Documents” que no se esperaba.
    and so on...
    The translation is "It was found an acces control list in "Applications/Utilities" that wasn't expected" etc...
    And I still have that extrange little icon over User Templates folder on "System/Library/UserTemplates"
    I don't have installed any other program else on my computer than logic and leopard! I don't know what the "h.." is going on with this "f.." logic program!
    SO PLEASE IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO SOLVE THIS OR ANY KIND OF HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!
    THANK YOU.
    Sorry about the length of the post and my english.

    Thanks a lot for your response Scott, I really appreciate it.
    I have downloaded the 7.4 protools, but not installed because the 7.3 software cause instalations errors on the computer and the digi is not recognized.
    Anyway I wanted to start familiarizing with Logic 8. I thought because Logic and Mac are from Apple they would be totally compatible...and of course they are not!
    In other hands I spent 6,300 dollards in new equipment to avoid this kind of problems...but at the end you get all the same traubles whatever you buy or not (crack) the things...so.
    Anyway, now my computer it seem to be damage... the fan never stop and I am geting some wierd icons over some folders (stop icons) so...
    By the way, I bought everything in SweetWater if anyone wants to know, and so far they seems to be only available to put their hands to get the money but they are always too bussy to help and solve all this crap they did to me.
    I bought logic studio, mac pro 8-core 3.0 and digi 003 to them...any of these are working!!! nice!!! and after one waste month they didn't give me any other solution besides to wait and wait and wait days and days in order to talk to any of the technicians...It seems their technicians only have time to ensembly equipment to sell it as soon as they can...nice!!!

  • HT1206 I just purchased a second ipad, can I have more than one itune account on the same computer? If so how do I set that up?

    I just purchased my second ipad and I want to have it under a different apple id. I want to keep it more streamlined for things that I really use and not filled up with a lot of games, pictures and so on. I don't know how to go about setting the itunes account up. So can anyone out there help me with this.
    thanks,
    kathy

    I would advise that you not set up a second Apple ID. It's really not necessary - having two Apple IDs won't affect how iTunes works with your iPads - and will just complicate matters. Each iPad will be treated independently and can be set to sync only the items you want on that particular iPad. If you really want to keep the two iPads separate, set up different iTunes libraries and have only those items you want on the related iPad in that library, rather than a different Apple ID. If you plan not to use a computer and just download directly to the iPads, you can again choose what apps and content each iPad gets.
    But answering your specific question, you can have content from up to five iTunes Store accounts on any one computer or iPad. To create a new iTunes Store account, you'll need a different email address, and from there you just create the account the same way you did the first one.
    Regards.
