New to Logic 9, Questions about mixing with summing box.

Hello - glad to be aboard. I just picked up Logic9 last week.. I have been on DP...well since it was P (I guess 20yrs,) Been contemplating the move for quite some time, but as I too, pay the bills with music, I've got to stay on DP until I and Logic are full integrated into my system. With that being said, I am DP by day- getting things done, and when the day is done, Its Logic time. I'm in the studio on forums, watching a bunch of videos that I bought, taking notes creating "Key Command" Flash cards - just kidding on that one) - I am really looking forward to making the switch. - I was going to order DP6, as well, but I think there's no need for that... this might be the right move.
On to my question....
My setup in the nutshell - Mac2.8. with MOTU PCIe,, using MOTU audio interfaces, 2x2408mkIII's, 1x24i/o, and 1x308) - I am using 2 x Rosetta 800''s as well, and from my DAW mix out through them into a Dangerous 2BUS summing box - which means - obviously, that I group my tracks in my daw and send out various outputs (i.e, Output 1-2 might be vox, 3-4 for gtrs, 5-6 for drums, etc.) - I then run to the 2Bus, out into a TK Audio BC1 buss compressor, routed back into the Apogee, and into the DAW - where I bring the stereo mix back in. - This means (2) things
1. I have no need for a Master Fader
2. I don't bounce
There are a couple of things that are confusing me - It seems that in Logic, when i create a track, Logic is "kind enough" to think ahead for me, and not only gives me the audio track, but also another fader, I guess which acts like an overall channel strip or fader for that output. It also assigns a master fader for me as well. In DP, when i create an audio track - I get just that - an audio track. Its routing assignment is indicated by the inputs and outputs I select. If I want to route it out to inputs 1-2, then I choose that output - but nothing else pops up. If I had the need to assign a Master Fader - then I would key command to add a Master Fader. While, in the scheme of things its not that difficult to just "delete" these tracks - I am sure during the course of normal work flow, it will get old. I tried deleting the master fader (on a test project I was working on) and saving as a template. But when I opened up the template and started assigning audio tracks, the ol' master fader came back. To me, it seems like fader duplication that I really don't need to see. - I just want to see my audio tracks - and route them to their appropriate outputs from the channel strip.
I assume the automatic assigning of a master fader - would be helpful if I wasnt mixing "outside" the box, and would be required if I "bounced" my final mixes down from within Logic. - And I also would assume that these Aux channels, or whatever that are assigned when i create audio tracks, are nothing more than overall "volume: controls for that output.
Another annoying issue related to this - I have named all of my ins and outs withing the MOTU PCI interface - I then when into the I/O assignment page in Logic and requested that Logic use the names provided by the driver (my names) - it does.... In parenthesis after their's - but outputs 1-2 - keep reverting to the name "Stereo Out".... frustrating.
Again - While I will miss alot of things from DP....I actually am seeing quite a few benefits over DP and the videos.. while not as useful as hands on work... are training me to see the screens, workflow, etc - and they are very helpful. When I do go into mess around - I am much farther ahead.. and at least know kind of where I am.
But I'm really trying to minimize the impact of the switch.... so perhaps some of the long-time guys can asssit. I havent seen much on the various forums about diverting from logic's norm out into summing boxes....etc.
Thanks very much - sorry about the long winded message - But I wanted to explain it the best I could.

Hey Orcasound, welcome to the forum, and also welcome to Logic.
Nice setup BTW, especially the Dangerous 2BUS into the BC1 coming back to the Rosetta 800"s, that gonna sound sweet mate.
OK Q1: The master fader for output 1-2 is always gonna be there, I've never found a way of getting rid of it, you can fortunately set up the mixer so that it won't show though. At the top of the mix window is a heap of boxes highlighted in blue, all you need to do is deselect the master and the output as per this screen shot:
Save this in your template and you'll never have to see those pesky faders again.
Q2: Same thing really, logic will always show 1-2 output as stereo out. Which is annoying, even if you manually name them from the I/O labels window it's always stereo, everything else if fine apart from 1-2. To be honest I've just learned to live with it.
Glad you made the switch, I find DP to be bloated and a bit tired nowadays.

Question about function with in parameters

Hello,
I have a question about functions with in-parameters. In the HR schema, I need to get the minimum salary of the job_id that is mentioned as an in-parameter.
this is what I am thinking but I dont know if it's correct or not or what should I do next!
create or replace function get_minimum_salary (i_job_id in varchar2)
return number
as
begin
SELECT min_salary INTO min_sal
FROM jobs
where job_id = get_minimum_salary(xy);
RETURN i_job_id;
end get_minimum_salary;
thanks in advance
EDIT
Thanks for your help all.
Is it possible to add that if the i_job_id which is the in type parameter does not have a minimum salary then use the following function to register an error:
create or replace procedure insert_error (i_error_code in number,
i_error_message in varchar2)
as
begin
insert into error_table (error_user, error_date, error_code, error_message)
values (user,sysdate,i_error_code,i_error_message);
end insert_error;
This function is basically to say that an error has occured and to register that error, at the same time I need to print out the error using the dbms_out.put_line.
Any ideas of how to do that?
Thanks again

HI
I have made little bit changes in ur code. try this
create or replace function get_minimum_salary (i_job_id in varchar2)
return number
as
v_Min_sal jobs.salary%type=0;---- Variable declaration
begin
SELECT min_salary INTO v_ min_sal
FROM jobs
where job_id = i_job_id;
RETURN v_Min_sal;
end get_minimum_salary;

Question about Communication with Oracle 7

Hi,
Generally we use Oracle Snapshots for Communication, but since Oracle 9.2.0.5 do not work with Oracle 7.1.5.2.4. we are thinking about do use Oracle Interconnect for this Link.
Now I have the following two Questions about Communication with Oracle 7:
1. Is an Adapter for Oracle 7.1.5.2.4 available?
2. From your experience, does it make sense to install Oracle Interconnect for implementation of only one read only Link with 3 Tables if an OAS for BI is available?
Thanks,
Hannes

1. The Oracle database adapter is for Oracle 8i and up. I checked the code needed in the database and doubt that will work in Oracle 7.
1. The other option Advanced Queuing also needs 8i and up.
2. For me it doesnt make sense that you want to connect to Oracle 7. Oracle 7 is unsupported and should not have to be developed against. Also the license costs for Oracle Interconnect ~17K without any discount is a bit steep for read only links to three tables. Having the OAS means you wont have to pay another additional ~17K for the apps server.

Questions about editing with io HD or Kona 3 cards

My production company is switching from Avid to Final Cut Pro. I have a few editing system questions (not ingesting and outputting, just questions about systems for the actual editors - we will have mac pros with either kona 3 or io HD for ingest and outputs)
1) Our editors work from home so they most likely will be using MacBook Pros - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz 4GB computers with eSata drives to work on uncompressed HD, will they be able to work more quickly in FCP if they are using the new Mac Pro 8-Core (2 Quad-Core 2.8GHz Intel Xeon) or will the mac book pro's be able to hold their own with editing hour long documentaries, uncompressed HD
2) Will having an AJA Kona 3 (if we get the editors mac pros) or io HD (for the mac book pros) connected be a significant help to the editor's and their process, will it speed up their work, will it allow them to edit sequences without having to render clips of different formats? Or will they be just as well off without editing with the io HD?
I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the necessity of the AJA hardware in terms of working with the editors to help them do what they have to do with projects that have been shot on many formats- DVCPro tapes, Aiptek cameras that create QTs and P2 footage.
Thanks

1. with the IoHD, laptops become OK working with ProRes and simply eSata setups. Without the Io, they can't view externally on a video monitor (a must in my book). It will not speed up rendering a ton, nor will it save renders of mixed formats. The idea is to get all source footage to ProRes with the Io, and then the Io also lifts the CPU from having to convert ProRes to something you can monitor externally on a video monitor, and record back to any tape format you want... all in real time.
2. Kona 3's on Towers would run circles around render times on a Laptop... no matter what the codec, but the Kona does not really speed renders up. That's a function of the CPU and just how fast is it. (lots of CPU's at faster speeds will speed up render times).
I'd recommend you capture to ProRes with Io's or the Kona 3 and don't work in uncompressed HD. You gain nothing doing it quality wise at all. And you only use up a ton of disk space (6 times the size in fact) capturing and working in uncompressed HD, which from your post, you're not shooting anyway. The lovely thing about ProRes is that it's visually lossless, efficient, and speeds up the editing process. Mixing formats can be done, but it's better to go to ProRes for all source footage, and edit that way.
With either the Kona or the Io, you then can output to uncompressed HD tape... that's what they do for you no matter what codec you've edited in. ProRes is designed to be the codec of choice for all HD projects when you're shooting different formats especially... Get them all singing the same tune in your editing stations, and you'll be a much happier camper. Only reason to buy laptops is portability... otherwise you're much better off with towers and the Kona 3 speed wise.

Motherboard upgrade, question about compatibility with existing hard drives etc.

Hi, I currently have an K8N Neo2 Platinum socket 939 board, 2 gig of OCZ Platinum PC3200 DDR400 RAM, a Lian Li V1000 ATX case, an AMD Athlon 64 3000 processor, 2 Sata 1 hard drives and a TAGAN TG380-U01 380W power supply. All this stuff is from around 2005.
I'm thinking of upgrading my board to a MSI 870A-G54. Obviously I'll need new memory and a new processor, but my question is this - will I still be able to use the Lian Li case, and the Sata 1 hard drives/power supply with the above board? Also, does it have onboard graphics or will I need a dedicated video card?
Thanks,
Chris

Case, HDD - Yes
Onboard graphics - No
PSU, maybe but probably not. Something with more power would probably be wise to get. What PSU you get would depend on the CPU & graphics card you get.

TS3672 4s texts on new ios 7 are incomplete or mixed with old messages

Hi All. I just downloaded the new IOS 7 software. I've had 2 different incidents where the message I sent was not what was received on the other end. In one case, the person received part of an old message I had sent them mixed with part of the new message I had just sent. In the second incident (just happened), the person only received the last half of my text. Are others having this issue? Is it fixable on my own or is it a bug that needs fixed by Apple? Also wonder if it's model specific (4S). Help?

Sorry, if your backup is corrupted, you can't use it.
Since the old phone was on ios 6 and the new phone is on ios 7 that is the compatibility issue.
did you ever import your pics to your computer? IF you did then you can use itunes to sync it back to your new phone.

Any experience mixing with VRM box and Logic?

I was interested in anyone's experience using Focusrite's VRM box and Logic.

Someone mentioned the BSF2000. I have the same and it is very useful.
In the default BSF mode there is no feedback into the sliders (they don't move with existing automation), however you can send up to 117 CCs, PCs and some other kinds of data on each preset from up to 16 MIDI chanels and Logic picks them all up with no problems.
However, you can start the BCF 2000 in Logic Control mode, (for those who have BCF 2000 and haven't seen this option yet, swith off the BCF 2000, then swith on holding down the 3rd upper button– the one just below the Parameter rotary controller. When you start the display will show LC instead of bC. To return to BCF mode, restart holding the 1st upper button, the one just below the Type rotary control.) install the Logic control driver in Logic and you have feedback into the faders and rotary controls. The downside of the Logic Control mode is that is doesn't have instructions and I've spent days trying to work out what all the presets are.
Remeber too in BCF2000 mode you can not only use the controls to manage automation of ANY midi parameter, but you can also use them to replace keystroke shortcuts. eg I have one button that toggles all tracks between latch and read, another that moves through screen sets another that shows and hides global tracks etc.
Well worth every penny.

Questions about iphone with/out the SIM card

Someone is selling me his iPhone and I might or might not use it as a phone.
If I don't put my At&t SIM card in can I still use Safari (over Wifi) and the ipod function?
If I do put the SIM card in can I use all the functions of the iphone without a data plan?

If you purchase a used iPhone and take the iPhone with you to an at&t corporate store, more than likely at&t won't charge you for a new SIM card to activate the iPhone with at&t.
When activating an iPhone with at&t, as a new subscriber or as an existing subscriber, selecting the unlimited data plan for the iPhone, which includes 200 SMS, is required at that time. If you are an existing at&t subscriber, this replaces any existing data plan and SMS plan you currently have and are using with an existing phone with at&t.
Some have reported that were able to cancel the unlimited data plan after the activation process, but this will eliminate visual voicemail - which are downloaded to the iPhone via at&t's data network only, and if downloaded anyway without the data plan, you will be charged by the KB for each messages downloaded to the iPhone. The same when accessing the internet other than when connected via wi-fi with the iPhone. If you access the internet via at&t's data or EDGE network without the unlimited data plan, you will be charged by the KB for all data downloaded and uploaded - when checking email, web browsing with Safari, Maps access, youtube, etc., etc.
You say you won't use the unlimited data plan, but you will likely want or need to use it more often than you realize. If you don't want the unlimited data plan, you may want to consider purchasing an iPod Touch instead.

Can anyone answer a question about mix paste ?

Hi
Just a quick one -
Making a script for seamless tonal loops -
process -
1 - Select and fade out the last 0.5 secs of the wavefile.
2 - Select and fade in the first 0.5 secs.
3 - Cut first 0.5 secs
4 - MIX PASTE the first 0.5 secs with the last .
After stopping record and running the script , it appears the MIX PASTE function is just PASTING AT THE END rather then mix pasting over the last 0.5 secs.
The script says the action being carried out at that time is "PASTE SPECIAL" , im assuming this is the command for mix paste? However as i say,
it doesnt mix paste , it just copies the first selection to the end rather then mixing it.
Now , I have several scripts to do this , with differing selection lengths for fades , testing on audio of the perfectly same length as the source etc.
Every time the mix paste function pastes to end rather then mixes with the final portion , so IM ASUMING THERE IS SOMETHING I AM NOT AWARE OF HERE? SOME SMALL OBVIOUS DETAIL I HAVE MISSED? ANYONE? my nipples are starting to itch with the frustration....
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! THANKS
JUST TO CLARIFY - it functions correctly WHEN YOU ARE RECORDING THE SCRIPT , it pastes incorrectly only WHEN RUNNING THE RECORDED SCRIPT.

There are different Modes that a Script can operate in. They work in different ways on the file. Some just work at the cursor position, another only on a Selection within the file and one on the whole file. I can't remember which is which but the normal ones are either Mode 2 or Mode 4. These are written at the head of the script when you record it. If you open the script in Notepad or any text Editior you can change the Mode by changing 2 to 4 or viceversa and resaving the Script. Sometimes you have to experiment to find the correct mode for what you want it to do.
When you open the Scrpts tab and click on a script one of the boxes at the bottom will be highlighted to tell you what mode the script will operate in. Also there is a tick box to select whether the Script works Relative to the cursor position or from the Start of the file which can make a difference to how it functions when you run it.

4 questions about the the top boxes - SD box and Home media DVR

Hello. I am going to be getting Fios soon and I have some questions about the boxes. I will be getting the Home Media DVR and 4 SD boxes.
1) Do these boxes have timers on them to set so the box can turn off at a certain time?
2) Do these boxes have parental control and if so is it good enough to block things that I do not want my child to see?
3) How many people can access the home media dvr at the same time to watch already recorded programs
4) If the Home Media DVR is in the family room can a record be started from the bedroom over the SD set top box (even an hd show)?
Thanks for any help.

I have been using two Standard Set Top Boxes for about a year. I have Parental Controls on and all channels locked. When I want to watch a channel, I tune to that channel, note the LOCKED message, which tells me to press the OK button to enter ther Parental Controls PIN and unlock the channel for viewing.
This has worked flawlessliy for the last year -- ON THE Standard STB's.
I just ordered the Home Media DVR STB to replace one of my Standardt STB..
On the Home Media DVR:
I can set the Parentals Control PIN and lock the channels, in the exact same way I did o nthe Standard STB's. However, when tuen to ANY channel, I still ge the LOCKED message and instructions to press OK to unlock the channel -- BUT no matter how I press the OK button, the Enter your Parental Conlrols PIN dialog box willl NOT open. Nothing happens -- you CAN NOT view any channel.
Again, it is the EXACT setup as for the Standard STB, but the OK button will NOT unlock any of the channels.
If you unlock all channels and LOCK the Ratings, the same problem recurs: OK buitton will never open the "enter your PIN" dialog box.
I have received two replacement boxes and have spent hours on the phone with some very capable and helpful Techs -- no luck.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Here's how to test your Home Media DVR:
1. Menu-Settings-Parental Controls.
2. You will be prompted to CREATE youre Parental Controls PIN
3. Enter you PIN twice.
4. Use the > button to scroll to Enable On/Off and set it on.
5. scroll down to Control Channels
6. Press > button to See Locked Channels
7. Scroll down to Add/Remove Channels
8. Scroll right to choose LOCK ALL
9. Press OK and then scroll to YES to lock all channels
10. Press EXIT to get out of settings.
11. All channels are now locked.
12. Go to any channel
13. A black screen will appear with a lock silhouette with the word LOCKED below, followed by instructions to Press OK to enter PIN and unlock this channel. (plus how to change locks...).
14.Press the OK button and, if it is working, you will see a dialog box at the bottom of the screen that is titled: UNLOCK, with the channel listed and the instructions to "Enter your PIN using your numeric pad on remote to naje this channel availabe for all users." THere's a PIN box, which shows asterisks for each number entered, with "Press Exit to Cancel" below.
15. On the Standard STB, it works exactly as described in steps 1 thru 14. On the Media Center DVR, it works up to step `13, but in 14, no matter how you press the OK button, the UNLOCK dialog box never pops us. The Remote STB light flashes on the remove and the REMOTE yellow light flashes on the DVR, but nothng happens.
If you have a Home Media DVR, can you please try this and see if it works?
Thanks,
John

Three questions about dealing with and creating new catalogs

I have 3 catalog related challenges.
1) I loaded an entire batch of images into the wrong catalog...an existing one.
    Can I simply remove them from that catalog in bulk?
2) For some reason I can't get LR to create a new catalog that I name after
    a specific job. Should I use File|New Catalog or Import? Something else?
3) LR launches with the same catalog open every time. I have unchecked the
    preferences box that tells it to do that. I want it to open with NO catalog
    everytime. What setting am I missing?
Thanks for the input.

1) I loaded an entire batch of images into the wrong catalog...an existing one.
    Can I simply remove them from that catalog in bulk?
Yes, select all of the images you want to remove then hit the delete or backspace key. The following dialog will open and you should choose Remove - don't be tempted to choose Delete from Disk or you images will be sent to trash.
2) For some reason I can't get LR to create a new catalog that I name after
    a specific job. Should I use File|New Catalog or Import? Something else?
To name a Catalog after a specific job/project/shoot you should use File>New Catalog. A dialog will open and you can enter the name in the field labelled Save As.
3) LR launches with the same catalog open every time. I have unchecked the
    preferences box that tells it to do that. I want it to open with NO catalog
    everytime. What setting am I missing?
Launching Lightroom so that it opens with no catalog you need to choose the preference Prompt me when starting Lightroom as shown below.

Question about benchmarking with Premiere Pro

Hi all:
I am a writer for a website that focuses a lot on benchmarking PC hardware and am in the process of refreshing our CPU test suite. I'd like to implement Premiere Pro into our testing, but as a new architecture launch is due in a couple of weeks, I am working on this with some haste. I'm a novice with this tool, so it's my hope that I can get the "a-OK" from experienced users who know whether we're testing with the tool in a reasonable way. This is important because we implement real-world benchmarks for the sake of showing users of such tools how one CPU can compare to another in terms of raw performance. Other tools we benchmark with include 3ds Max, Maya, Handbrake and Lightroom (which I desperately wish supported more than a couple of threads).
That all said, the project I've created is not conventional, as it's more of a worst-case scenario. I recorded about 18 minutes from a new PC game using Fraps, resulting in 35GB worth of source files. These are not "lossless", but are close to it (300~370Mbit/s). I take these files, crop most of them, add in cross dissolves and then encode it to MPEG 2 Blu-ray using almost default settings. In order to stress the CPU better, I enable the "Use Maximum Render Quality" (is that often used in production encodes?) option, and also change to a VBR 2-pass.
Here are some quick results from the benchmarking I did this afternoon:
Intel Core i7-975 (4 core, 8 thread, 3.33GHz) - 46m 40s
Intel Core i7-975 (4 core, 8 thread, 4.00GHz) - 38m 45s
Intel Core i7-980 (6 core, 12 thread, 3.33GHz) - 30m 36s
As seen there, in an equal-clock 4 core vs 6 core battle, we saw the latter encode finish about 50% faster (the scaling is rather amazing). But the question remains - can I feel confident in benchmarking this as a project? Would it ultimately prove useful to you guys?
Thanks much for any help!
PS: As an added question, does Premiere Pro take advantage of SSE4 (or beyond) instructions, and will it support AVX in the future?

Hi Jim:
Thanks for the response!
I don't own a video camera (boy, do I ever feel like a reject, now). Would it be an inaccurate way of doing things if I took the same project I have as mentioned above, export it to AVCHD 1080p/24 and then use that as the source file to encode to MPEG-DVD? It'd still be game footage, but essentially the codec is what really matters (I could be wrong; perhaps the codec would work better with real images).
Sorry if that comes off as a ridiculous question. If that's not a good solution I will see about getting such a source from somewhere.
Thanks a ton!
Edit: Would it be sufficient to use a Blu-ray .m2ts file specced at 1080p/24 AVC MPEG-4 as a source? I assume it's AVCHD given it's 1080p.

A question about error with jasperserver for pdf and Apex

I have created a pdf report on jasperserver and I can call it from apex via a url and it displays fine. The url is this format {http://server:port/jasperserver/flow.html?_flowId=viewReportFlow&reportUnit=/reports/Apex/deptemp&output=pdf&deptNo=#DEPTNO#&j_username=un&j_password=pw}
However, I am trying to follow a stored procedure executed from Apex so it would not expose the username/pwd in the url like above.
If I am reading the apache error log correctly it is erroring in this piece of the code below where it executes {Dbms_Lob.writeAppend}
loop
begin
-- read the next chunk of binary data
Utl_Http.read_raw(vResponse, vData);
-- append it to our blob for the pdf file
Dbms_Lob.writeAppend
( lob_loc => vBlobRef
, amount => Utl_Raw.length(vData)
, buffer => vData
exception when utl_http.end_of_body then
exit; -- exit loop
end;
end loop;
Utl_Http.end_response(vResponse);}
The error log says this; HTTP-500 ORA-14453: attempt to use a LOB of a temporary table, whose data has alreadybeen purged\n
What is this error telling me and how can I correct it?
The stored procedure I am following is below but replaced the vReportURL with my url like above that works.
Thank you,
Mark

Don;t know what I did wrong, but I could not create an 'on-demand' process to call my procedure. I did not understand what it means when it says 'To create an on-demand page process, at least one application level process must be created with the type 'ON-DEMAND'.
so I had to use a blank page with a call to my procedure in the onload - before header process and that seems to work ok.
Thank you,

How can I move my contact list to new ID account and question about updating iOS

How can I move my contact list to new ID account?
And should I update my iOS system ?

Hello Godde
Lets start with checking out the articles below for setting up Family Sharing and more information about Apple ID’s. I will say that you will not be able to transfer any purchases to a different Apple ID, but you can rename the Apple ID. If you want to use Family Sharing, then you will need to just create a new iCloud account and then follow the steps in the second article to start sharing content between you to.

Just bought a 3TB Firewire Drive for Time Machine, a Question About Mixing Files or Paritioning

I have two internal HDs, one 1.5TB spinning drive and a 60GB SSD for the OS and apps. Externally I have 2-1TB FW drives that I use for media files & other data. I would like to use the 3TB as my failsafe TM backup, but I wonder if 2TB is enough in the short term? I know TM backups get big, but I'm hoping by just backing up the internals and using Crashplan for all I could quickly recover from a HD disaster locally.
Here's my question, is there any downside to mixing Time Machine backups and "regular" files (docs, media, emails) on the same Time Machine drive or would I be better served partitioning this drive 2/1? Is there any advantage to partitioning to keep TM on its own parition?
And do you think that 2TB is sufficient for say the next 6-months to 1-year to hold 1.56TB of data?
Thanks!

There's no way to predict how long it will take to fill up a TM volume. That depends on your usage pattern. If you have large files that change often, it will fill up a lot faster than it will if you have only small files that change often.
The surest way to fill up a TM volume quickly is to back up the virtual disk files created by virtualization software such as VMware. Those files should be excluded from TM backup, and their contents should be backed up from within the guest OS, using tools native to that OS.
When the volume does fill up, snapshots will be deleted to make room for new ones, oldest first. Files still on the source volumes will never be deleted.
People on this site often give the advice that the size of the TM volume should be at least some particular multiple of the size of the source volumes, such as 2 or 3. I don't know what evidence that advice is based on, if any. It seems completely arbitrary to me.
