Need help with multi track/simultaneous recording

Please forgive me if the answer to my question has already been covered; I have searched the other posts but haven't been able to find the answer.
I am recording a podcast with a Behringer Xenyx X1832 mixer. In GB I know how to select "multi track recording" and set my two mics that are conneced to the first two channels of the mixer to "mono 1" and "mono 2" on the input source.
My question is how do I record audio from my Macbook on a seperate track?
I have a Focusrite 2i2 connected via USB to the Macbook acting as an output, then TRS cables from the outputs going to channel 7/8 on the mixer. When I play audio I can hear it perfect and adjust EQ and volume, but I am unable to record it on a seperate track on GB.
When I click on the track on GB, the input source says "stereo 1/2" and when I try to click the red buttons to arm the other two mono tracks where my mics are connected it says "The input channel of this track is already in use. To record on this track, choose another input channel."
What am I doing wrong? How do I send audio from the Macbook to the mixer and then record it on a seperate track, along with seperate tracks for each of the mics?

I am a beginner in Labview and need help with multi-device synchronization.

I am using a VI I found in order to continuously acquire and write voltage. The next phase is to somehow synchronize this with a linear platform and am wondering if there are any tutorials on how to do this out there, or if anyone could give just general advice. I'm not necessarily asking for explicit details on the code but rather where I would be able to improve my skills in a way that would help with this project. Thank you in advance.

Hi riraheta,
Are you using daq? Can you tell me more about this linear platform which you want to synchronize? What operation do you plan to synchronize?
There are some examples online which has to do in synchronizing devices, depends on what you're planning to synchronize. The following are the few I have found.

Learning new things everyday...

New logic user, need help with multi-channel inst and aux strips.

Greetings all,
So I just purchased a new Mac Pro 2.66 and Logic Pro 7 to run with it. I have been a long time Nuendo/Cubase user on the PC side of things but since I got the Mac I wanted a DAW that was supported fully for the apple platform.
Anyways, its a world of difference and I am very confused as I wrap my head around the learning curve, so in the meantime I have one important question maybe some one could help me with.
The question is regarding Aux channel stips for Multi channel instruments. In this scenario I am working with Battery 3, it took me a while to understand that I actually needed to create these aux channels just to have seperate outs in Battery which seems really wierd and overly time consuming.
As an example in Nuendo once you create the instance of Battery, the audio mixer automatically just creates the corresponding stereo and mono channels instantly. This obviously makes is a sinch to assign Batteries pads to seperate outs for eq/comps for seperate sounds.
Now the Battery manual doesnt even make a reference to Aux channels for assigning outs in Logic, I actually had to do a Google search to figure this out.
Anways, sorry for rambling...
Here is the main issue.... How can I quickly and easily create multiple Aux's? In the mixer there is really only enough room in there to add like 1 more Aux strip, if I want to add more than that I need to re-arrange the entire global mixer which seems like a crazy system, surely there must be a more convenient method for getting muti-channel audio instruments set up quicker.
Any help you can assist with would be exceptional!
Thanks in advance.

Not sure what exactly your question is, especially since I don't use battery. But as far as creating aux tracks:
• go to the audio layer of the environment (not the track mixer window), find the two defalt aux tracks
• Highlight all tracks to the right of the aux tracks (these should be bus and output tracks), and drag to the right far enough to fit in a bunch of aux tracks; you might even want to drag the all underneath the aux tracks, if your screen accomodates
• use the key command shift-command-a multiples times to create several new "audio objects", and double click each one to expand
• highlight all the new objects and select options/clean up/ align objects (makes it look nicer)
• still highlighted, over in the parameters section (left side) select a channel, setting it to the highest number aux (at this point, probably "aux 3")
• now individual set the channel for each aux track – you'll see that now you have available "aux 4"; next time you set a successive track you'll see "aux 5" and so on
• once you've got things set up the way you want, save it as a template so you don't have to do this again later

Novice needs help with multi-cam

Hi, I've got 3 cameras and a seperate audio track synched in my timeline. (CC Premiere Pro 6 on a PC with - unfortunately, Windows 8) The cameras didn't all start at the same time but no problem the clips are where they need to be now. I've made several edits getting rid of stuff I don't need, and I've added a title, end note, and a few stills. All the tutorials I've watched deal with starting clips at the beginning but I can't seem to find one that shows what to do with a bunch of things already in the timeline where they need to be. Here's a screen shot if that helps to explain what I've done so far.I've tried nesting the clips and dragging that into the source panel, but no luck. Obviously, I'm missing something here (this is my very first project) hope someone can help.

Yes, what Jim said...
or if you really want to leave all your little stills and titles there and not have to add them later then alt+select all the video clips only and right click>nest. You can select all the audio clips too but I usually leave them there so I can see them all individually (personal preference) and I never have audio follow video in my edits so it's not necessary. Then right click>Multicam>Enable and proceed with #3 from Jim's list. I actually prefer to ignore the wrench and add that one touch little multicam toggle icon to the program monitor which it appears you've already done so you just need to select the far right icon on the bottom of your program window next to the little camera icon. That's the multicam toggle. Multicam cutting now takes place in the Program Window instead of the Source Window like it was in CS6. Oh also, the little "tweaks" that Jim mentioned can be easily done with the Rolling Edit Tool (Shortcut: N) You'll see. Good luck!

Problems with Multi Track Audio Recording

I'm having difficulties getting Logic to record multiple audio tracks. Basically, I'm using a MOTU 896HD Firewire Interface and despite setting up audio objects in the environment window to receive from the relevant inputs and assigning those to tracks it doesn't seem to allow for each wave of audio to be recorded separately.
Last night I was trying to record 4 tracks - 2 vox and 2 guitars and had no luck. On the first two tracks it was recording identical waves with both vox and guitar together of one musician. And for tracks 3 and 4 it was recording the vox and guitar of the same musician in each track, like it should have done in tracks 1 and 2. It did not record the other musician's parts at all ignoring him altogether. I just don't understand because I tested each mic and guitar to check whether it was in fact receiving audio from the source and it worked fine when getting levels but when it came to recording everything messed up.
Can any of you kind people help me? I'm obviously doing something very wrong but cant for the life of me understand.....all thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Need help with playing tracks

Haven't used my player in awhile and never did really learn how to use it well. I have some meditations I've loaded, to listen to e.g. before I go to sleep. I was getting other music playing when the meditation was finished. Think I finally figured out how to get the right track to repeat....BUT I'd really like to turn it off after the one track plays-automatically. Can I do this? Manual not much help! There might be times I'd want it to repeat, times want it to turn off, and times when I might want to switch to another track/mediation and go on. Help??? Thanks!

Black-Rectangle wrote:
When you go into Settings you change the defaults. The unit should remember them after being turned off. Ok.....the Power one seems to stay but Sleep doesn't. Am I doing something wrong or is that one an exception? With Repeat off it should play through the Go List once and stop. If you just want to play one track, just put one track in the Go List. Otherwise it will keep playing through the whole list (your six tracks). Ok.....Got this figured out and moved 5 out of the GoList. And checked and they're still there, in another folder......wasn't sure about that! I'd wondered if I could do this all on the unit and not have to go into the pc to do it. Thanks for the clear info! The Go List is supposed to be the track(s) you want to hear now and only those tracks. It's designed for you to add and remove tracks on the unit itself. To take a track OFF the Go List, start playing it and hold the center button to remove it. You can make more elaborate, more permanent playlists using the computer, but that's actually pretty well explained in the manual. The Go List is made for quick changes. If you set the Power Saver to 10 minutes it will shut off 10 minutes after the last track is played. (It doesn't say automatic, I was just trying to explain what it does.) Got it! The same track can be in the Go List and elsewhere because unless you click all the way down and go to Folders, you are not seeing folders as you would on a computer. You're seeing lists made from the database, which is made from the ID3 tags, electronic labels that are part of each file. Ditto that there is not a separate folder of Albums, a separate folder of Artists, etc.--all that info is gathered from the files and placed under categories like Album, Artist, etc. Each one is like an index, not a folder full of files. The Go List (like other playlists) is a list of locations where the files are. The Sansa sees the list, understands it's a list, and follows the list to play the files you want. Thanks for your patience and clear explanations!! Now I can add more items and move them around as I need to. Considering the sorely incompetent manual, how on earth do total newbies figure all this out? Why isn't the manual more comprehensive (not that you should know why but just wondering!!) I want to also ask about finding an ac adapter to charge the unit off the pc but figure I should start a new thread!! Don't want to lose you! Somewhere on here someone sugg using a cell phone charger. Tried mine, the plug looks the same size but will only go in part way and then the battery icon has a slash through it. Others said it's faster with an adapter. Also want to ask about updating the software......others on here recc some specific softward to download (have to look it up again) rather than the Sansa software (don't think it's available now); would doing that/updating the software help? and would there be more capabilities with it? Just let me know if I should start new threads for these? Thanks again! I am really grateful for your help!

Need help with multi-mapping

Hello! I need to develop scenario like in blog: /people/narendra.jain/blog/2005/12/30/various-multi-mappings-and-optimizing-their-implementation-in-integration-processes-bpm-in-xi
but I need to have sets of records. For example, I have 9 "Element2" records in original message.
So, I need to have 3 messages, each contains 3 records of "Element2".
How can I do this?

Change the occurance of target message type to 0..unbounded in Messages Tab in mapping for 1:n mapping.
Mapping for Piyush_msg_out_3 target node-
Element2 (source)-> Index(increment 1) -> Divide by Constant (3 in your case) -> Floor -> Split By value(Value chnaged) -> collapse contexts -> Piyush_msg_out_3
Change the occurance of Element2 node as 1..unbounded in target data type.

Need help with Multi-cam editing in Premiere Pro CC/7.0

I've been using 6.0 for a while now, and had to install 7.0/cc, but now I can't find where to record multi-cam edits. I've already lined up my clips and created a new sequence and enabled multi-cam, I just don't see the Multi-Cam Editor. Please help!

Hey!
I found the record-button in the programm panel. But now it won't let me hit record. The button is disabled (see screenshot).
What can I do about it?
If I just hit play and then change the angles in the source window, Premiere won't record those edits. Only thing it does is it keeps the whole clip in this one angle.

Need Help With Motion Track/Camera Tracking

I've been trying for several days to motion track 2 seconds worth of footage but I cannot get it. I've tried the AE motion track, 3D Camera Tracker, Mocha Pro, Camera Tracker from the Foundry, Boujou (could be user error with that though, cause I had never used it before), but I cannot get this shot figured out. Test - YouTube here is a link to the footage, I'm trying to track from frame 183-235 (where the guy is kneeling down in front of the box holding dynamite and everything is black and red)
Any help would be great, all I want to do is have an image attached to one of the boards in the background so it doesn't move.
Thanks!

Wow you have boujou? Thats awesome $10k, anyway looks like mocha should be fine for this as I don't see a ton of camera movement in that shot where you want to track. Do you know how to use mocha? If not there are tuts while working on that scene. Here's a few http://cgi.tutsplus.com/articles/advanced-motion-tracking-with-mocha-ae--ae-15231 and for various tracker apps including the built in one http://cgi.tutsplus.com/articles/26-tracking-and-matchmoving-tutorials--ae-7394

Need help with no camera sounds & recording in Captivate 5

I am an experienced user of Captivate 3 & 4, but I'm having lots of problems with Captivate 5. I am working on a Windows 7 OS and have just installed Captivate 5. When I try to record I can't get any camera sounds, even though I have changed my preferences to show them. Also, Captivate seems to be recording erratically, and sometimes it is catching actions, other times it isnt' I am running the program as Administrator and I am very puzzled by this. Normally Captivate has worked like a charm out of the box. Now it seems to be fighting my every step of the way. Am I missing something?
Audio recording seems spotty too. Sometimes it works just fine, other times Captivate just hangs and doesn't really record any sound.
Any help would be appreciated/

Hello and welcome to the forum,
First to be sure: did you install the patch released in December (Help, Updates...)? If not try that first of all. You can find details about the issues solved by this patch in this blog post:
Patch for Captivate 5
If this doesn't help, try to clear the cache (Preferences, Global).
Perhaps (not sure) your Preferences folder has become corrupt. It so, try to find it. In Win7 normally it is a folder (Captivate 5) in this path:
\users\<username>\appdata\local\adob
Maybe you will have to change the settings to make this folder visible in Explorer, by default it is in a system folder and invisible. You can delete this folder (while CP is closed) and when you restart CP a brandnew one will be created.

Help with multi track project

Hi all,
So I recorded my church's worship and sermon on GB through the local sound system. We upload the sermons onto the church's website, and use the worship recordings for practice. I muted all but the one version of the sermon I wanted and saved, clicked Send to itunes, and waited. The itunes version ended up having all six tracks (3 sermons and 3 worship sessions) overlayed, making things incomprehensible. I went back to GB and reopened the project to find that only the first track (worship session 1) had any "fuzzy lines" (i.e sound waves) on it, and it was all of the tracks overlayed again. The other 5 tracks were just flat lines that had no sound. I am at a loss on what to do. Any suggestions?

Before muting Tracks and exporting to iTunes did you have the waveform on all Tracks and did each Track contain a discrete sermon?
(Usually I solo the one Track instead of muting the others, but that really shouldn't make a difference.)
After saving I suppose you didn't somehow un-mute the Tracks? When you went back to the Project were the Tracks still muted?
And you say you went back to GB and "reopened the Project." Why did you close it at all? (maybe a silly question but I'm spit-balling here.)

Need help with multi database query.

Hello,
I am working on a query between multiple databases to be view on a web app. We have multiple web apps and we are integrating some functionality between them all into one page.
The data will be for a delegate someone sets for themselves (they can have more then one also). I need a way to pull the data view it as follows.
User, UserNumber, DelegateName, ForApp, ForApp, ForApp, ForApp, ForApp, ForApp
I have had no problem pulling the delegates themselves and which apps they are a delegate for, but not which person they are the delegate for.
SELECT DISTINCT
dbo.Employee.Position_Num AS Delegate_Position, dbo.Employee.Name AS [Delegate Name],
(CASE WHEN Hierarchy.dbo.Employee.Position_Num = CVI_Delegate.Delegate THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS For_CVI,
(CASE WHEN Hierarchy.dbo.Employee.Position_Num = Travel_Delegate.Delegate THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS For_Travel,
(CASE WHEN Hierarchy.dbo.Employee.Position_Num = Dept_Deposits_Delegate.Delegate THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS For_DeptDeposit,
dbo.OKCorral_Delegate.For_UserRoles AS For_OkCorralUR, dbo.OKCorral_Delegate.For_FiscalApprover AS For_OkCorralFA,
(CASE WHEN Hierarchy.dbo.Employee.Position_Num = Reqs_Delegate.Delegate THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS For_Reqs
FROM dbo.Employee LEFT OUTER JOIN
Reqs.dbo.Delegate AS Reqs_Delegate ON dbo.Employee.Position_Num = Reqs_Delegate.Position LEFT OUTER JOIN
DeptDeposits.dbo.Delegate AS Dept_Deposits_Delegate ON dbo.Employee.Position_Num = Dept_Deposits_Delegate.Position LEFT OUTER JOIN
CVI.dbo.Delegate AS CVI_Delegate ON dbo.Employee.Position_Num = CVI_Delegate.Position LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.OKCorral_Delegate ON dbo.Employee.Position_Num = dbo.OKCorral_Delegate.Position LEFT OUTER JOIN
Travel.dbo.Delegate AS Travel_Delegate ON dbo.Employee.Position_Num = Travel_Delegate.Position
This query works fine. The problem I run into is I have to use the same Employee table to get the EmployeeName and Number
Which will be used for both the person and the delegate. Any ideas will be a great help. It had been suggested I use a procedure to accomplish this, but I have no idea where to start that at. I also have tried a nested sbu-query but since
a person can have more then one delegate for an app, this through errors. Thanks.

The other two databases also have a delegate table similar to the ones above. As you can see all information about an employee is linked by their position number in the Employee Table.
The Position Number is used in the Position field and Delegate field of all the Delegate tables.
I am needing to pull an employee (actually all of them) List them and then show delegates for them by which applications the delegate holds permissions too. Which is the purpose of the delegate. So a delegate may only be a delegate for one application
or multiple which is why I am pulling from multiple databases.

Need help with multi xy plot

hi Labviewers,
I'm using the the 'Plot multi-xy.vi' to display a frequency sweep and several limit lines. I got my app work today but when I finished I realized the display is too small.
When I enlarge the window of the graph on my frontpanel only the size of the window itself changes but not the size of chart.
I searched for an option but couldn't find it.
Thanks in advance
Simon

The ouput of "Plot multi-xy.v" is actually a picture!
You are just resizing the picture indicator, the size of the image is programmatically set.
The VI has an input connector to set the size of the picture. Create a constant at the "dimensions (w,h)" terminal and enter the desired size in pixels(e.g. 400 and 400).
Good luck!

Need help with multi-level categorization

Hi,
We have the following scenario:
A complaint has a subject profile with two catalogs:
1. Problem - 60 problem codes
2. Solution - 30 solution codes
Each catalog has code groups and codes assigned as above.
In GUI we can address this using the catalogs, code groups and codes under "Analysis" tab at complaint header / item level. However, we want to switch over to categorization schema in CRM 7.0 Webclient UI.
I tried creating a categorization schema in Web UI. However, if I understand correct, for each of the 90 codes (60 + 30 mentioned above) I need to a add category id under the root schema id and assign a subject code under the general data of the category (while maintaining the category hierarchy). Is this true? I really cannot do it since I have already created the catalogs with the mentioned number of codes under the relevant code groups. Isn't it a duplication of effort? Whats the whole point of creating subject profiles / catalogs / code groups / codes if it has to be redone in webclient's categorization schema? Moreover, every time I add a problem code (say number of codes become 61 from 60), do I need to change the schema and release it again?
I believe there would be a simpler way to do it.
My exact requirement is:
1. I want to use only the first two drop downs of the categorization view in complaints component
2. First drop down to have all the problem codes (60 of them)
3. The second drop down to have all solution codes (30 of them).
Request the gurus to provide the exact steps to achieve this (_details in terms of exact steps will be appreciated and suitably rewarded_). Please note that the customizing in terms subjects, catalogs, code groups, codes etc is already in place.
Regards,
DP

Hello DP,
we have in sum 4 categorie-fields in the service request.
And we did it like you explained it. First customizing of code / codegroups, etc.
Afterwards you have to create the categorization schema in WebUI.
And yes, everytime we add a code we need to change the categorization schema as well.
We maintain categorization schema in WebUI only in TCR and we use the RFC-Import for the QCR and PCR system.
You are right this is a duplication of effort. In our case it is needed because we use the SLA determintation based on catogorization and we have multilevel categories, which means depend from catagory A we have different entries in category B.
If you just need two dropdown boxes idependently from each other i would suggest to create to customer own fields with z-table behind. That´s much less effort if you often add or delete codes.
Best regards
Manfred
