Music Creation - Keyboard Question.

Alright, I've been wanting to buy one for a while to learn, espeically after I found out that GarageBand has lessons and allows you to see how you play as you learn. I've been torn between getting http://store.apple.com/us/product/H7188ZM/A/m-audio-keystation-mini-32?fnode=57# compatibility and http://store.apple.com/us/product/H9325LL/A/line-6-mobile-keys-25-controller?fno de=57 but I have a few questions:
First, how are the lessons in GB for someone whose looking to learn?
Second, I'm obviously leaning more towards the mini due to price - does this have the option of recording plays in lessons with GB?
Also, I heard that the keyboard (referring to the one in question two, doesn't make a sound unless transmitted through the USB) is that true?
I do have a regular keyboard, I'm just looking for somthing to h

First off I'm a terrible keyboard player but that won't stop me for giving my opinion.
If you are a beginner I think you should have a keyboard with standard size keys.
Next there are Midi controller keyboards, these only output a Midi signal and need something to turn the signal into notes and voices (sound). There are keyboards that have their own voices (and usually have a speaker) to play sounds and Midi controller to control external Midi so they do both.
Something you may also want to think about is usb and self power keyboards. If you want to ever use Midi keyboard with ios devices then a keyboard that can get power from something other then usb is a good idea and in some cases be needed.

Good software for music creation (?)

I'm interested in ametour music creation on linux. I sometimes record some stuff with guitar using jack server, ardour and tuxguitar with fluidsynth for drums. Can you recommend me any other good quality software connected with music creation (virtual pluigns, instruments and other..). I know that there are quite a lot of audio applications, but i need to know which are most usable and noteworthy.

Thank you very much for the site adress (http://www.linux-sound.org/).
Is it possible to record a really good quality music with opensource/freeware programs (of course using good hardware). Are they very limited in comparsion with expensive software?
BTW. Maybe someone can help. If I have keyboards (synthesizer, i don't know how to call it in english.. ) and connect it's midi output to midi (joystick) input in computer, would I be able to record things that i play on keyboards with midi samples from my computer (i am using onboard sound card so far, if it matters)?

What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?

What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?
I know I could opt for the most expensive and probably get what I want that way, but I´m not made of money, so what are your suggestions for minimum criteria and which would you recommend?

MacBooks Pro are great Macs with a good hardware, so all of them will work for the use you want, but I think that you want the biggest display possible because of your uses. In this case, it has to be a 15-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro, with the settings you want. Note that, after buying the Mac, you can upgrade the HDD and memory without voiding the warranty, so you are free to install as much memory and the HDD size you want after buying it. It's my opinion, but you are free to do whatever you think it's better

Musical Typing - Keyboard is cut off

Hey there,
I'm having a problem with the musical typing keyboard.
Somehow I shrunk it and now only the top half is visible.
Any ideas?

Hi. I had this trouble also. I was using musical typing, then I switched tracks and did other things, then came back and it did not work. I don't know what I might have hit in the interim that turned it off. The mouse/cursor still plays music, but the keyboard does not.
In fact, when I type now on the keyboard, the whole screen greys out. But this doesn't seem to be all the keys; for example, 'R" still starts recording.
-=-=-=-
OK, so it's now a minute later and the mute button WAS on for that track. I swear I checked it! Consider this solved for now.
-=-=-=-
Nope. Well, it worked for a minute there, then stopped again after I moved a track. What is going on here? Yeesh.

Music Creation

Is there any kind of music creation software available for the Blackberry phones?

if your OS version is recent enough (4.3 and higher), then you can record things using your device (audio only, or video).

Samsung Stratosphere keyboard questions

People,
Is anyone familiar with the Samsung Stratosphere phone? This is my first Android smartphone and I've run into a few problems. Is there a "enter" key on the keyboard? one isn't marked and my phone came with the wrong users manual, plus Verizon doesn't have a users manual posted on any of their pages either. Also, is there a way to go forward, or undo the back button, from the keyboard? Will a stylus work on these Androids, fat fingers suck.
Browser, how do you bookmark a page on one of these? list of favorites? will these phones accept .pdf's or .docx files in through the data port? I hope there is probably a word.docx reader app somewhere? I cant find it. am having trouble with the Sims card as well, is there some set-up step or is there some procedure to unlock it, unblock it, activate it or something
To be able to use the Cloud player so many people offer, is that feature limited to the ability to use WiFi? I understand that the cloud service is an online storage for things like music and or movies, what else can be stored online? I can'f find allot of info about this Cloud service.
I would appreciate even a partial answer to only one question, if anyone feels like responding, but I assume "chat" will be manned come monday and that should answer my questions? I think! thanks again

Try going here,

You'll see a pdf link on the left side that says "device manual".

Looking for a cool music app (music creation, recording, playing)

Hi there,
I was looking on the app store if there's such application but didn't succeeded at the moment.
I'm looking for an app that would allow me to create music on the fly with a "midi-keyboard" with which I would record some notes then loop the sample and record a second track.
And build my simple music by playing bass line, then adding some beat, etc...
Any idea if it exist?
thanks in advance

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. Most of the people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
As to your issue, first, make sure that you did not inadvertently make an in-app purchase. Many apps, particularly games, are free for the base game but charge for additional features such as levels, "coins" and other such add-ons. Check your Purchase History to see if that reminds you as to what you might have purchased:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
If you find that this was an in-app purchase, to prevent this from happening again, turn off "In App purchases" in the Restrictions settings on your device. For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
As to a refund, that's not automatic since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
They're usually pretty lenient in the case of inadvertent purchases, but there are no guarantees.
If the charge was not an in-app purchase that you made and forgot but the charges do appear in your Purchase History, contact the iTunes Store and let them know. You should also immediately change your password for your Apple ID. If the charges don't appear in your Purchase History, they were probably fake charges made directly to your credit card, and your card issuer will need to handle those.
Regards.

My 4s lost sound on text alerts, music and keyboard clicks but still plays ringtones and alarm sounds. Took to Genius Bar but they said never seen anything like it and to buy a new one. Help please, need fix to get all sound back!

Lost partial sound, speakers work but keyboard, music, text alert does not except on headphones, please help!

If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty. Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

External keyboard questions

I want to buy an external keyboard for use when I'm not traveling. I am considering the Apple Wireless Pro keyboard and would welcome any opinions about that one or any others (wireless OR wired) you like or dislike.
Another question is about mice/trackballs. I was told that the wireless keyboards (at least the Apple) don't have USB, so if that's the case then essentially one is compelled to make two purchases, correct (keyboard and input device)?
As regards the mouse or trackball, if their control software isn't Intel-native, any reason why it wouldn't work as well on MBP as on PPCs? I've used Kensington in the past but they are, in my view, non-committal about if they plan to spport the Intel Macs re their Mouseworks software. I wonder how important it is whether they do as regards the performance of Mouseworks, I'd love to hear about any wireless trackballs anyone likes.
Thanks for all the help.
Richard Huggins

The Apple wireless keyboard works great for me. There are many others out there, I'd look at Logitech, Kensington, Belkin, Microsoft, roughly in that order. The most important thing is to try them out first to see which ones feel good to you.
I agree about the battery issue with mice - I use rechargeable wireless mice for that reason. Cost a bit more, but well worth it to avoid the hassle of replacing batteries.
This battery issue isn't really present with keyboards. The batteries on my wireless Apple keyboards last for a few months at least. The amount of throughput pumped out by a keyboard (and therefore the amount of battery energy needed) is much, much less than a mouse. Moving your mouse a few inches on the screen sends many, many (x,y) events to the computer. Probably a lot more information than it took for me to type this entire post.
On the mouse software issue, I've never installed the software for mice on my Mac. I used to avoid it unless absolutely necessary on my Windows machines as well. They usually cause more trouble than they are worth, if they work at all. I use my Logitech mouse with the standard mouse driver on MacOS, no problems. The only reason you might want MacOS software support is if the mouse has tons of extra buttons that you really want to map to various actions. I can map many of the buttons on my Logitech mouse with the MacOS preferences panels (e.g., map buttons to trigger Expose and the Dashboard), but I only use 3 of them (left, right, and the scrollwheel button).
Kensington makes the best trackballs in my opinion. I haven't used one in a long time, but I was always happy with them.

T500 keyboard question

Hi. I'm new to the ThinkPads -- I bought a T500 for work a month and a half ago, on the recommendation of a colleague, and have just now started to use it for my day to day work.
After about a week of use, I've noticed that the arrow keys, particularly the right key, has an annoying 'clack' to it, almost as if it's bottoming out. It's much louder than the rest of the keyboard, which is fairly quiet.
I've 'googled' this issue and it appears that others complain about "keyboard flex" in the T500. I'm no connoisseur, and I have a feeling much of what goes on in the discussion (such as http://lnv.lithium.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T500-Keyboard-and-Flex-How-bad-is-it/m-p/6072...) is beyond my reach. My simple question is this: is my clacking on the right key a result of "keyboard flex"?
Also, regardless of the flex question, is there a way for me to resolve this key clacking without sending anything in for repair? I've made the full switch to this laptop for work, so I really don't want to give it up if it's something I can fix on my own.

I have not experienced this specific noise, but do not think it would be related to the keyboard flex complaint. That stems from a gap under the keyboard, mostly on the left side, making it feel spongey and sloppy.
You should look carefully at the keyboard there to see if that specific key is touching the case itself, something like that. You might also remove the palm rest screws from the bottom, and carefully remove the palm rest and reset it and the keyboard to see that eliminates the noise. With the palm reset removed, you should at least be able to see what is causing the noise.
If the keyboard is bad somehow, they can send you a new one and it won't be out of service. It's pretty quick and easy to change it out, if necessary. But an inspection before you call will probably help.

OLAP Universe creation process questions and proposals

We have created an OLAP universe based on a BW-Query. The automatical creation of the OLAP universe does not produce a satisfying result.
We are working with the latest available releases (BOE XI 3.1 SP2 and SAP Integration KIT SP2, SAP BI 7 EHP1).
We have detected that all dimension objects store the name instead of the key field.
Example:
Customer Dimension Object (L01 Customer) = Customer Name
Customer Key Detail Object (L01 Customer Key) = Customer Number
Customer Name Detail Object (L01 Customer Name) = Customer Name
This is not usable for end user because of the following reasons:
1. The detail objects can not be used for merge dimensions, so it is not possible to merge on the supplier number.
2. If you filter on the dimension object you will only see the text in the list of values (LOV) and it is not possible to edit the list of values in the universe to add the supplier number to the LOV as it is possible in relational universes
3. If the user select the detail object always the dimension object in inserted into the report query
4. The "Business Explorer" general setting "Display" of an InfoObject has no effect on the OLAP universe dimension object. If you change it to key always the text is shown. Even if you change the "ValueDisplay as" in the underlying BW Query to "key" is has no effect.
5. The renaming of the L01 object to blank is not possible. You need to rename to " " and then remove on each object the blank.
So we need to modify manually every universe to change the "detail key object" to a "dimension object" and the "detail name object" to reference the new "dimension object" with the key. This manual process has a huge work effort in time. Is there a better solution or enhancements planned in the next releases?
Additionally there should be an option to disable the automatic creation of each characteristic as a subclass in the universe. A wizard should ask if a subclass should be created or not for each characteristic. Currently there are to many subclasses generated which were mostly not needed.

Hi,
First of all I would say u are lucky to start with SP2. Because whatever modifications you do in Universe those are retained.
We had a big trouble in using BOXIR3.1 FP1.7.
Anyways.. Back to your Questions and My asnwers for those:
1. The detail objects can not be used for merge dimensions, so it is not possible to merge on the supplier number.
Ans: True, Dimension object always shows Short text values by default. but if you can create the logic at SAP BI query level to map short text with keys then your problem will be solved.
2. If you filter on the dimension object you will only see the text in the list of values (LOV) and it is not possible to edit the list of values in the universe to add the supplier number to the LOV as it is possible in relational universes.
Ans: True u cannt edit LOV, but alternate solution to it is create the variable in SAP BI Query, that will appear as prompt in universe which will display the List of values with Key as well as Description.
3. If the user select the detail object always the dimension object in inserted into the report query.
Ans: Logically its correct, because Detail object is always associated with Dimension. Buit if you dont want that dimension in query you can remove that dimension by dragging back.
4. The "Business Explorer" general setting "Display" of an InfoObject has no effect on the OLAP universe dimension object. If you change it to key always the text is shown. Even if you change the "ValueDisplay as" in the underlying BW Query to "key" is has no effect.
Ans: In Query designer even if you ValueDisplay as "Key", but at Object level if there is Text and Key associated for perticulat Infoobject, then so by default the dimension will show the Text and there will be seperate Detail object in universe for Key.
5. The renaming of the L01 object to blank is not possible. You need to rename to " " and then remove on each object the blank.
Ans: Yes this is a big trouble.

Nisha

Simple keyboard question

In the midst of all the highly technical questions here's a real easy one. I know it exists because exactly what I want is on http://www.apple.com/keyboard/.
I ordered an english international keyboard from the apple shop thinking that it would be a standard US layout. However the layout is the same as my old (transparant version) dutch layout. See http://gallery.inflatablemouse.com/wronglayout.jpg.
I want the layout from the apple link above. Does anyone know what I need to order? I ordered an English layout before but cancelled that order because the confirmation said it was a UK keyboard. The only other option I had was the english international.
Thx!

There is a chance that the UK keyboard is the one you want, but you'll have to firstly ask specifically to UK owners, so you'd better start a new thread with a "UK keyboard" mention in the title.
Why the UK keyboard would fit?
Because it is supposed to be the exact same as the US, the only visible difference being the hash (replaced with a £).
If I were you, I would ask the UK owners, whether their UK keyboard has the tilde on top-left position (with no key between the left shift key and the Z key),
or whether their Return key looks comfortably horizontal above the right-shift key, or ridiculously thin and vertical like on your picture of an International model.
Too bad this can't be checked directly on the Apple UK pages, as they use the same US pictures on every countries' Stores.
All you have to know, is whether the UK keyboard is a US with a pound sign, or an International with a pound sign.
If it's a US model with a pound sign, you can order one from Apple.

Great thanks a million...and by the way I had another question if you don't mind helping out...sometimes on the web I save pics to my photo album by holding it for a few seconds until it gives me the option to save the image...and sometimes when they're in my album and I touch them to select them they don't come up I'll have to select the pic before it and slide over to the next one since it doesn't come up when I touch to open it and other times itll be just a white backround with "JPG" in it...is this just because the pics online are posted a certain way or is this the phone?
