NEWBIE QUESTION: Recommended Books or Videos?

know nothing about logic, just purchased express... can anyone recommend a great book, site, video for learning? thanks!

Vtc has excellent tutorials, you can buy the cd or pay 30.00 a month for unlimited video tutorials in over 300 software programs, I learned how to use Sonar, Ableton, and A few Adobe and Macromedia prgrams. Now I am using logic now that I have an Apple G5 (5 days new) , which I find to be a lot easier to learn after taking the other tutorials, I was able to start recording from day 1 with Logic. I am not trying ro make this a DAW debate, but I prefer some of the features in Logic and some of the features in Sonar, either one will get the job done, but checkout VTC, you can even try out the first 5 or more lesson for free.

  • Newbie question. coldFusion w/ Flex 2 tutorial

    Hello.
    I am very new to F2 and CF. Fairly proficient at Flash, DW,
    css, html, etc. I have purchased and worked through a couple really
    great F2 and CF books. I am able to construct some good basic stuff
    with either. But am not really finding a tutorial or book that is
    exclusively committed just to the subject of to using CF with Flex
    2. There always seems to be a just a cursory mention, or a
    brush-by, but not much more than that. I get it: if you got this
    far, you probably arlready know everything about the two and
    shouldn't need such.
    If you could point me to a couple good references, I'd be
    very appreciative. I'm looking for a good step-by-step, just on
    this subject.

    Thank you. You are right on with the direction of your
    answer.
    Immediately, I am just trying to create a simple method of
    add/edit/delete records to tables from forms that I could access
    remotely with Flex 2. I just assumed that CF would be the best
    method, both being Macradobe products. If I am wrong about that, so
    be it. Utlimately, I would like to print specific "quotes" relative
    to specific customers and products to .pdf. This is for my own
    personal use (as an insurance broker). Not commercial. Nor is
    anyone paying me to develop this.
    Maybe a better newbie question would be: what would be the
    preferred method to add/edit/delete records, remotely, from a Flex
    2 application for later printing to .pdf based on various selection
    criteria? I have figured out how to do this on my own stand-alone
    machine. Now I want to be able to do it remotely from anywhere.
    I'm
    not looking for instruction from anyone here, just direction
    to your favorite learning tools so that I can dig in and learn.
    I bought the books you recommended (adding to my own Library
    of Congress).
    Thanks again!

  • Total Newbie Question ... Sorry :-(

    I know it's a windows thing, and I am now converted to Mac but I gotta know this because it's doing my head in. It's a complete stupid green gilled newbie question.
    When installing new programs on a Mac can you create shortcuts to the programs on the Dock? I did what I THOUGHT it would be, i.e I made an Alias and stuck it in the dock, but on rebooting my Mac later on, in place of the shortcuts where 3 question marks which when clicked on did absolutely nothing???
    Help?

    You aren't installing something from a dmg file are you? The dmg is a disk image – kind of a virtual CD. So when you double click the dmg and then get the little disk/hardrive/custom icon on your desktop that is the same as if you had mounted a CD. You then need to drag the application off of that "CD" into your application folder. Then it is truly installed.
    You can then "eject" the icon your your desktop. This is what happens when you shutdown and without remounting the image your dock shortcut can't find the original.
    Just a thought.

  • Newbie Question about FM 8 and Acrobat Pro 9

    Hello:
    I have some dcouments that I've written in FM v8.0p277. I print them to PDF so that I can have a copy to include on a CD and I also print some hard copies.
    My newbie question is whether there is a way to create a  PDF for hard copy where I mainitain the colors in photos and figures but that the text that is hyperlinked doesn't appear as blue. I want to keep the links live within the soft copy. Is there something I can change within Frame or with Acrobat?
    TIA,
    Kimberly

    Kimberly,
    How comes the text is blue in the first place? I guess the cross-reference formats use some character format which makes them blue? There are many options:
    Temporarily change the color definition for the color used in the cross-reference format to black.
    Temporarily change the character format to not use that color.
    Temporarily change the cross-reference definition to not used that character format.
    Whichever method you choose, I would create a separate document with the changed format setting and import those format into your book, create the PDF and then import the same format from the official template.

  • Newb Question for burning DVD/CDs

    I have an external DVD writer on my iMac.
    I got the thing last month and an completely new to Apple (sorta)
    Now how do I make a data CD and DVD?
    On Winblows XP all I need to do is select the files, right click and click on SEND FILES TO CD for making data CDs.
    However for DVD I need 3rd party software.
    Will iDVD do the trick?
    Thanks for the looking at this simple newb question.
    GeekyBoy

    Now how do I make a data CD and
    DVD?Drag the files to the icon of the
    blank CD/DVD that appears in the
    Finder.However for DVD I need 3rd party
    software.You might want to try Patc
    hBurn.Will iDVD do the
    trick?No, iDVD is only for making video
    DVDs and it requires a G4 processor.
    Thanks for the tip Duane.
    I was just reading abotu burning CD on another site. It mentions about what you said, drag the files to the CD.
    However I am reading in my profiler that burning is NOT supported by OS X on this CD/DVD writer.
    Will Patchburn or any other software overcome this?
    Thanks

  • MEGA-Newbie Question

    This has to be the most newbie of all newbie questions. Interestingly enough, it is the one that is most rarely answered in a non-technical way that the novice can understand.
    What exactly do I need Motion for? What, in common-sense, regular-language terms, does it do?
    My manuals tell me how to do all the things it does. But they assume I am an experienced editor (I'm an experienced filmmaker, but only just started working in editing) who already knows all the things that CAN be done and only wants to know HOW to do them in Motion. This is not me.
    So, say I am making a 90-minute HDV feature music doc. I have footage, I have stills. I will need captions, titles and text on screen. I will need an end credit roll. What is it I will probably want Motion to do for me that FCP can't do on its own?
    I'd appreciate an answer in somewhat non-technical language that addresses the practical use -- from a filmmaker's point of view -- of this no doubt amazing program.
    Thank you.

    hi Paul,
    You are right you can do much of the things Motion does in FCP, but Motion takes them further and often makes them easier to do.
    Briefly whereas FCP is generally for editing moving pictures from rushes to a coherent whole, Motion is used to composite or layers of moving pictures to make a new coherent whole picture.
    So i plain words, you can meld different sources of video, stills text and other sources together to make a new end peice. You can animate text, warp pictures, create fires, smoke, hide bits ( masking), animate graphical elements. In short whenever you need to layer up multiple sources of imagery Motion is your man. Sure FCP can handle a lot of this, but Motion is designed specifically and only to do this, and does it very well. ( You would not want to edit in Motion!)
    In your 90 minute example you could do it all in FCP and make it look very nice. But you might need to go the extra mile with the title sequence, perhaps the captions will have some kind of generic strap line ( lower third) under All these things could be done easier and better in motion. However you would not want to import the whole 90 minute programme into Motion and start throwing captions on it. Rather you would want to build each element ( strap line, animating titles, opening sequence etc) in Motion and then import them into FCP for the final mastering. Motion is for short sequences, and FCP is used to collect them all into one programme.
    I make music commercials for a living, do all the cutting on FCP and build all the graphic elements in Motion, take a look at my site for some examples if you'd like,

  • Recommended Books to learn Labview?

    I want to write a Labview program that controls an HP 4277A LCZ
    meter over an HPIB from a PC. It is a simple program, and I'd like
    to put off the NI Labview classes because I'm just too busy right
    now.
    The program should be very simple. It will let the user enter a
    voltage range, then tell the HP4277A to output each voltage
    looping through the voltage range. At each voltage point it will
    wait for things to settle, take capacitance and conductance
    readings of the DUT, store these values in arrays. When the loop
    is completed, it will graph the C vs V, Cond. vs. V, and so ther
    result of some math on the C vs. V curve, and store the array data
    to a disk file.
    Can anyone recommend books that would help me pick up Labvie
    w
    programming? I have 5 yrs. VB experience.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Question:
    How well do these books apply to LabView 5.1? That is the version I have
    .... I am an experienced programmer (C++, VB) but a LabView 'newbie', and
    have a few 'version specific' books on my shelf that become obsolete as the
    next language revision comes out.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Newbie Question. just installed IE7.. how do I set up a local host to preview sites?

    Sorry for the newbie question... but it's been a long time since I have done this
    Thanks!

    Just define your site in DW as always.  For a static site, that's all you need to do.

  • 1.1 GB of space for other use, but no music, no books nor Videos are sync.

    My IPad4 says it has 1.1 GB of space for "other" use, but I don´t have anything on this Ipad, I even took away the music, books and Videos. How can I know what others really stands for? Is there a way of errasing this information?

    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • Domain name settings - Newbie question

    Sorry for a newbie question!
    I am already pointing a domain name to web hosting for email account. Now, I need an application server to run ERP software and Oracle, and installing Solaris and Oracle need a domain name.
    If I point my domain name to the server, how do I receive emails from web hosting???
    Install an email server to the application server instead? What can I do if I want the same domain name? Any option?

    Setting up a mailserver and making sure it doesn't suddenly turn into a spambox is not something you do with the use of a few commands. I suggest to dive into the Solaris admin guide on docs.sun.com and read up on e-mail and network services.
    If that is asking too much of your time you'll be better off getting your ISP to handle all this for you.

  • Domain Name settings in Solaris - Newbie question

    Your questions are completely off-topic for the forum.
    These SunOS forums are for questions on <i>"how do I install my OS"</i>
    You particular question is in the <i>"how can I install Solaris while using the CD drive"</i> forum.
    So, if you had a question on how to edit the /etc/inet/hosts file to establish a FQDN on the computer, then it might be appropriate for the forum.
    Unfortunately, I don't have a clue on where to redirect you, except perhaps to the Sun Java Enterprise System suite of applications?

  • Newbie Question:  How much computer do I need?

    Newbie Question:
    I would like to use MainStage 3 in a live performance environment to play bars, parties, etc.  I'm not looping, using it to playback recordings, processing outboard equipment or vocal processing.  I want to stop carrying Rolands, Nords, Korgs, etc and get to a controller and a rack with a Mac Mini in it.
    I tested a download of Mainstage 3 on my home Mac Mini (late 2012, 3.5 Ghz i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB drive) and it seemed to run fairly well.  $30 well invested so I trekked forward... I purchased a Mac Mini (late 2009,  2.52GHz Core 2 Duo, 6GB RAM, 128GB SSD) for $200.  I started to do more elaborate keyboard setups to see how the CPU would hold up.  It typically runs from 30% to 50% of capacity (CPU and Memory)  It actually boots and runs better than the i5.  I hear the occasion gitch, but it actually seems to be getting better in time (or I'm rock and roll deaf.
    I got a rack, an Airport Express, a Radial USB interface and a Nektar Panorama P6.  It's starting to get expensive, but I'm emboldened by the actual quality for the sound and the flexibility of arranging for live performance.  What used to take me two and three keyboards to play, I can now fit on one performance patch.
    OK, now the question... am I at the limits of this little Core 2 Duo?  Should I upgrade the i5 with more RAM and a bigger SSD and use that?  Should I get a new(er) i7 and bite the $1,500 bullet for the additional RAM and SSD?
    I see that most of you are running pretty nice Macbook Pros with i7 and lots of everything.  My needs are modest; am I OK? 
    BTW, I want to run a Mac Mini in a box because I don't want to carry a laptop out in the open.  If I was doing bigger shows I wouldn't care but I play some rowdy bars and constantly have folks hanging off me while I'm playing.  It's fun, but hard on gear.  If you can't drop it or dip it in beer, it won't last long where I work.
    Matt Donnelly

    Rule of thumb: newer and faster is better. But, depending the complexity of your needs you may be OK with an older Mac. Some glitches that happen in a live performance are due to loss of communication with USB or Firewire inputs, so make sure they're secure. I recently upgraded from a 2010 Mac Mini 2.6 dual core with 16 GB RAM, which was used live for nearly four years, to the latest Mac Mini 3.0 i7 with 16 GB RAM and a 500 GB SSD. I was getting an occasional stuck note with the older one. The new one is rock solid. Some of my patches may have up to a dozen channel strips mapped to three keyboards. The Mini is mounted in a rack next to a MOTU Ultralite Hybrid. It is a good idea to map a panic button on your keyboard to controller # 123(all notes off). Also, you might want to invest in a battery backup power supply(APC, Cyberpower, etc.-$40-$60) to protect your Mac against power loss, which can damage you hard drive.

  • Multiple version of JRE in company..How to manage? (newbie question)

    Greetings..this is a newbie question
    We have 48 versions of JRE running in on XP IE6 in our company.
    Some version beat up other JAVA applications.
    It's a mess.
    How can anyone manage this many versions?
    Can we consolidate down to a few versions?
    I saw some posts on changing the JRE dynamically or perhaps using a wrapper with a product from "sourceforge".
    Are these viable?
    Thanks in advance

    It's a mess.can you elaborate on how some versions "beat up" other apps?
    How can anyone manage this many versions?you don't, each computer should periodically upgrade (IMO) but you shouldn't care. if you do, tell your users to load the latest version
    Can we consolidate down to a few versions?sure
    I saw some posts on changing the JRE dynamically or

  • Newbie question - XML version, searching by artist

    Probably quite a common problems - apologies for newbie questions.
    I've changed the URL of my MP3s in my XML to a new location and refreshed my feed. Is there a way of seeing what version of the XML iTunes is using? (it takes around 24 housr to refresh, right?)
    Also, when I'm searching for my podcast by author it's not coming up (<channel><itunes:author>) - is there a reason for this or a way to get it to show up when people search for the artist, other than doubling it in the title? (This works by the way, but I'd prefer not to!)
    Thanks.

    you can do it in just one loop, going through all the image
    tags in index_content and for each tag fill the values of all four
    arrays
    for (i...) {
    get the appropriate child of index_content
    first_array[ i ] = value of first tag
    second_array[ i ] = value of second tag
    no need for multiple loops.
    flash has functionality for xml files, but it helps to write
    a little wrapper around it, to simplify programming, especially if
    you work with xml a lot.. I wrote my for work, so I can't show it
    to you, but it's not very complicated to do
