Newbie with cdrom problems

After installing the OS from cdrom, I cannot access the cdrom. The /usr/sbin/vold process is running. I cannot find the cdrom drivers in my dev directories. Where do I go to figure out what to do next?

<pre><h5>
** not sure if this would help... </br>
I've been nashing a problem with VOLD all day today..
unfortunately, I'm not a guru with Solaris.. ;) Yet...
</br>
stop vold
try manually mounting the cdrom
</br>
mount -f hsfs /dev/dsk/c0t2d0 /cdrom
</br>
you may have to use a different /dev/dsk combo and I've not figured
out the c0t2d0 stuff completely yet or how to predict what it would
be on different systems, or even if it would be different.
</br>
In anycase, I would definately like to know if you're able to mount
manually after vold is stopped (that's what has solved my problem on
four sun's from sparc's to e250 & e450)
</br>
try
/etc/init.d/volmgt stop
to stop vold.
</br>
if helps drop me a quick note...

Newbie with Distortion Problem, Audigy 2

Hello all you helpful people,?Seams common problem having spent the last 3 hours reading through the many posts on this subject, have to say the most helpful (easy to follow) was Jeremy's "read this before you post". Good man but unfortunatly it didnt help me. Just bought Aud2 ZS, fitted, run the disk that come with it. All working and i have sound, just that its distorted as though the pre-amp of the card has to higher level going into it. my PC is a P4 3Ghz, 52MB mem,?running XP SP2, and has only just been built so can be trusted as a clean install. I have disbled the on board sound in the bios. (thanks to Jeremy's post mentioned)?Calibration noise is dificult to tell if its distorted, the welcome menu "play?dvd-audio sample (24bit)"?demo thing sounds great, loud, clean and crisp, (I'm listening through?monitor audio cable and some?nice HI-Fi, my nakamichi?amp and Mordant Short floorstanders) so i know it can do it!?playing a audio cd is worse than listening to ripped WMA lossless through either creative's mediasource or windows?media player , but both un-listenable. So what's wrong? gain of the pre-amp after the DAC's? but the demo works? therfore it would appear?related to source, what controls gain with different sources? Drivers??Any help or suggesions greatly recieved. Thankyou in anticipation.

blackadder,
Could you decribe the distortion a little more? Is it crackling and popping? If so, search the Forums for "snap crackle pop," and you'll see it's a common symptom with perhaps more than one cause. I haven't had this problem with my A2ZS, so I'm no expert on the various solutions. However, because you haven't gotten a reply yet, I'll offer some initial, simple steps you can try. Muting any playback sources you aren't using will eliminate/reduce crosstalk/bus-noise. Moving the soundcard to a PCI slot far away from the video card has worked for some. Turn your volume sliders down to ~90% rather than 00%. In Speaker Setup, when you run the channel test, are "Front right, front left" etc clear or distorted? Do you get the same distortion using headphones or other speakers?Message Edited by Katman on 0-30-20070:59 AM

Newbie with compilation problem

Hi, I am trying to compile my program, and I have a problem importing a class. When I try to compile, it says:
package org.apache.axis.encoding does not exist
encodedImage = org.apache.axis.encoding.Base64.encode(
I think it is quite likely something to do with the Class Path, but I do not fully understand what the class path is or does exactly? Could some one please explain the Class Path? And do I need to put another line into it?
Any responses will be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Tim.

Basically, the classpath allows Java to locate a given class. The class path usually specifies one of two items:
Start of compiled class directory. So, names will be resolved relative to this classpath entry. If you have a class called com.foo.testing, then whatever directory contains com/foo/testing as a directory structure in the filesystem should be a classpath entry
External or deployed JAR files. JAR files take the compiled class directory structure (above) and places it in an archive file, like a ZIP file. (Note that a lot of other things will be in the JAR file when you deploy as a web-app, but for now, this is simple enough). Rather than specifying a directory, you have to explicitly locate the JAR file itself. So, if you have a directory of JAR files, you need to specify each one.Your classpath issue seems to me related to the JAR issue. The Apache JAR that you need has to be specified on the classpath. You normally do this by:
java -cp [classpath entries] [fully-qualified Java class name]
Note that classpath entries can have multiple classpath items. These are separated by a colon (in Unix/Linux) or a semi-colon (Windows).
Hope that helps.

Newbie with 2 problems

Hi,
I'm a newbie on DVDSP 3 trying to use stills for a project. There's one issue regarding this that I can't solve:
I am trying to make the menu (background) go from black (a black image or DVDSP's option for black frames) via a slow dissolve transition into a still image. I have tried previously making a clip of this in FCP, iMovie, PhotoToMovie and Still Life, but the outcome has been really low quality in all cases. Doing it with still directly in DVDSP seems to be best.
I have the options for transition set in the menu palette, starting with black and ending in the still, but no go.
I have also made a slideshow of this and turned it into a track, but don't know how to bring that into the menu - if it's even possible.
If someone can help regardless of the lousy description above, I would be very grateful.
The second issue is that the button I placed in the menu doesn't get solid colors (I've used the Apple Panes_Navy50p). When simulating, half of the button is "miscolored". I am probably doing something stupid, but what?
TIA for help.
Dan

We'll probably need more info. When you say...
I am trying to make the menu (background) go from black
(a black image or DVDSP's option for black frames)
via a slow dissolve transition into a still image
Do you mean "I want a menu that starts black, then gradually fades in the background menu image, and then my button options appear once the background has completely appeared"?
If so, then you're better off doing it as you first described. You'd create the entire sequence in Final Cut or something else, export it as a QuickTime movie, then encode it to MPEG2, then import it as your background image for your menu. You'd set the menu's Loop point to where your background image has completely faded in: that's the point where your buttons will appear.
You said you'd gotten "low quality" results when you tried doing this. Describe the issues with your results; also, describe how (or if) you converted your FCP clip to MPEG2. To get the best quality for this type of thing, you would NOT use a DV codec for your FCP sequence. You'd use one of the Apple Uncompressed codecs or the Animation codec... that way you get no compression of the image until you convert to MPEG2.
Also, you'd be better off using FCP's Export->Using Compressor option to encode your fade-in into MPEG2.
Can't help with the button as I rarely use the provided Apple Shapes. I'd recommend going with a different shape, or creating your own highlight with a black-on-white overlay graphic.

Newbie with application problem and question on cam chats!!

Hi, ive just got my macbook yesterday and I bought the student edition of adobe creative suite master edition for uni. After buying this and installing it, i wanted to save the main applications in a stack for easy access rather than going to the HDD then apps then clicking on the individual. As there are approx 14 application in this package, it is too many to have in the dock so a stack out be great.
However when i dragged them into the a new stack it carried along all the other files with each program which was messy. So i went back and did it again but by using the app itself. When i went to open them it said it had been moved and needed repairing. So i reinstalled the lot and i now have them in the application folder again.
Please can you help me to create a stack with all the applications, i think these would need to be short cuts but i dont know how to create them. Thanks for your time.
Oh. Leopard is amazing. I hooked up ichat with an aim account and its wicked, only have one contact though. What other instant messenger can i use that works with the cam rather than loading up windows and msn. I currently have ichat which works and adium.

Hi shorty,
Welcome to the bright side of the computing universe. Here's your first lesson in Mac terminology. The Mac equivalent of the Windows 'shortcut' is called an 'alias'.
Here are ways to create and use aliases:
To create an alias, click the item to select it, and choose File > Make Alias (or Command - L). You can create as many aliases as you need for a single item, and you can move the aliases to folders or to the desktop.
To create an alias for an item and relocate it in one step, hold down the Command and Option keys while you drag the item’s icon to another folder or to the desktop. Release the mouse button before releasing the Command and Option keys.
To find the original item of an alias, select the alias and choose File > Show Original.
Enjoy your new MacBook… =)

Confused newbie with queue problems

I real new to java programming and I am trying to write a program which will queue objects. It needs to be FIFO and resize itself automatically. I can find a Queue class in C# but seeing as I'm writing in Java it's not very useful.
I'm sure it's just me not looking in the right place but I would be really grateful if anyone could push me in the right direction.

Hi,
You can use a list to emulate a queue. Just items to the end of the list, and take items from the beginning of the list. There are several different list implementations.
I would use a LinkedList in this case:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/LinkedList.html
There is also a queue implementation in jdk 1.5. What java version do you use?

Newbie with Sockets. Speed problem

Hi. I am newbie with Sockets. I have read java socket tutorials and wrote these two classes. The client tries to transfer file of 13MB to the server. This is done in internal network. Client and Server use 100Mb network cards. The problem I have is speed of transfer. It takes 4-5 sec to transfer this file.
13MB * 8 / 5sec = 20Mb/s
It seems slow to me considering that network cards are 100Mbit. I would expect to get at least 50-70Mb/s. It is my home network and noone else is using it.
So, what I am doing wrong?
public class Client {
public Client() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
FileInputStream in1 = new FileInputStream("c:\\Documents and Settings\\Pavel\\jbproject\\untitled1\\src\\tryw\\test.txt");
InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName("server");
Socket s = new Socket(addr, 5000);
OutputStream out = s.getOutputStream();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(s.getInputStream()));
System.out.println((new Date(System.currentTimeMillis())).toString());
byte[] buffer1 = new byte[1024];
int g;
while ((g=in1.read(buffer1))!=-1 ) {
out.write(buffer1);
System.out.println((new Date(System.currentTimeMillis())).toString());
s.close();
System.out.println((new Date(System.currentTimeMillis())).toString());
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e.getMessage()); }}}
public class Server {
public Server() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ServerSocket s = null;
try {
s = new ServerSocket(5000);
while (true) {
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
// Wait for a connection request from a client
System.out.println("Waiting");
Socket clientConn = s.accept();
InputStream in = clientConn.getInputStream();
OutputStream out = clientConn.getOutputStream();
PrintWriter outp = new PrintWriter(out, true);
BufferedReader inp = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
String inputLine = null;
Date date = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
System.out.print(date.toString());
while ((inputLine = inp.readLine()) != null) {
buffer.append(inputLine);
if (inputLine.equals("Bye."))
break;
Date date1 = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
System.out.println(date1.toString());
System.out.println(buffer.length());
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e.toString());try {s.close();}catch(Exception he) {}}}}

you probably want the buffering to occur under the PrintWriter, not the other way around, ie the buffering should be closest to the raw socket.
You can bump up the size of the Buffering in the ctor, that might help.
You can also gulp bigger blocks on the read.

Newbie with Problems with E1500

I have had an E1500 for 5 months with no problems-have Comcast internet.
After doing firmware upgrade yesterday now my download speed is only .90 mpbs and upload is 5.50 .
Speedtest with Comcast shows download speed at 35.5 - so they aren't the problem.
I did change channel from 11 to 1 and that did not help.
Just did the recycle and repowered with no help.
I did add a blu-ray player and set up Samsung hub-would that affect the router?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Just make sure firmware is updated if you still have the issue after following the steps provided by sabretooth. Reset and reconfigure after the update.

Am I the ONLY one in the world with this problem!??

before I downloaded twhirl, i upgraded to most current
version of Adobe Air (1.5.1) from (1.5.0). It actually occcurred to
me that i had never used adobe air before, eventhough i´ve had
it installed for ages.
i cannot run twhirl-0.9.air because the extension is not
registered. being no newbie, i tried to manually register the
extension but i cannot find an adobe air executable in Program
Files>Adobe Air. So i started to search on how to fix the
problem, and took at two approaches. I spent 5 minutes trying to
find the location of the adobe air executable, and i spend ONE
FREAKING HOUR trying to find a solution using queries similar to
["adobe air" extension association .air] on google. NO relevant
results come up AT ALL. Am I the only one with this problem? how
about a solution? Which file do I associate the extension .air
with???????
as a bonus WTF, i dare someone to show me a query on google
that points to a solution to this problem within the first 20
results, and if you find this solution WITHIN adobe.com support i
will paypal you USD$5.
thanks in advance
windows vista ultimate on x32

The Adobe AIR Application Installer is in Program
Files/Common Files/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/.
If you right click on an AIR file and choose the above file
to open it, that should fix the problem.

Kt4vl with 2700+ problems

i upgraded to 1.9 bios just to be safe, when i install windows xp i
get errors throughout the disk randomaly everytime, the disk works
100% fine i have used it on several other machines, i can install
windows xp on the hd through a different computer with no problems,
the ram i tested in another pc and it also works fine, so it has been
narrowed down to the kt4vl, or the 2700+,
note: i have gotten it to install windows but it randomly errors and
crashes.
any suggestions?

its 350watt, only have 1cdrom, 1hd, 1 light, 3 fans, i dont think the power supply would cause the pc to generate random errors throughout the install of xp or any other update/install of any kind, no its not the cdrom either, its been tested.

Help with systemd problems/reply to closed thread

@Everyone; as the previopus topic was closed, I am opening a new one here, partly to reply to some things that was said to me in the previous thread/topic (and I do not like to leave people hanging), but mainly to try and get some help with my systemd config (that I was not able to find help with in the wiki or manpages).
@czubek; eww, that sounds rather similiar to some other operating systems I've heard of (not just, but obviously including, windows)... For me, subjectively, that is not very attractive, as being able to have a single application do a single thing, and then mixing and matching as I personally see fit is a great thing.
@tomegun: I can indeed see your point, but if I made direct quotes on all the things I reply too, my posts would reach biblical proportions.
Mmm-hmm, I do indeed know of "the Arch Way"; however, the system that you expose can be of varying complexity as well, and I found that the system that was presented to me by way of Sysvinit/initscripts was a way simpler system than that presented to me by systemd.
Indeed, and I do like that; I enjoy knowing how my system works and learning more about it; however, the truth is that reading manpages and the wiki isn't always enough. And I use the numbers instead of letters in certain places as a jest, please, do not get offended by that; if you have to, get offended by my opinions.
Ah, I have now scanned the wiki, the manpages, and have already faced problems. While part of me is saddened by this fact (as I was hoping for a smooth transition to systemd), part of me is glad that I can at least prove that everything isn't quite as simple as some people would make it out to be. More on this later in this post, as I do need help with the problems I have faced.
And I wouldn't say that the new and old way are equally trivial, as I immediatley faced problems with "the new way". More on this later.
Ok, I find that if the debate is polarized, then there is nothing wrong with describing it as such. I spell what I see.
Oh my... Ignored as a matter of principle? I would say that that is an excellent way to stagnate; by that logic, moviemakers, gamemakers etcetera should ignore any and all criticism they recieve, as the critics are not contributing.... Wouldn't that lead to a complete halt in development? Isn't criticism (so long as it is constructive, obviously) a key component of (media/software) evolution?
Ah, I see, then I misunderstood the current state of the install media
"Some adjustements"... Well, I guess we'll have to see how that goes, then. Hopefully it'll be smooth.
@Everyone; Awebb possesses stunning accuracy as far as his observations go.
@zb3; My point exactly.
@tomegun; I believe you to be wrong; complaining (but not whining) is the first step towards improvement, as I think that I and zb3 has shown.
Further, your last point (where you talk about "deep understanding of Y" and whatnot) is basically saying that only devs and programmers can contribute, so zb3's observation would be correct.
Also, making suggestions is part of constructive criticism; you can do that even if you can't code, e.g. by saying "X works badly because it makes Y crash; couldn't we replace X with something akin to Z?". This is a valid point even if you have no intricate understanding of X, Y or Z, and if it is impossible to replace X for one reason or the other, it's not hard to reply with "Replacing X is impossible because of reason Q", and then see if someone can solve reason Q etcetera.
zb3's example is obviously helping; for one, it would allow people to know taht they can't boot with systemd in certain cases, or that installing/runing systemd can break their system. I would consider that rather important information.
@Everyone; Now then, to see if I can (or rather, if I can get help to) shed some light on some problems I've been having.
My transition to systemd went pretty smooth (besides the fact that I couldn't use 'systemctl' to set anything, and neither duckduckgo nor any posts in the forums could help me (the error I continously got was "Failed to issue method call: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1") and that there are no manpages/tips on how to configure the files for "localtime" and "adjtime", which would've been good considering some syntax have changed) to about halfway through, to the point where I was supposed to start using systemd for my daemons.
Now then, to the main problem; first, I tried running
"systemctl enable syslog-ng.service"
and got the following message;
"ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service' '/etc/systemd/system/syslog.service'
ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/syslog-ng.service'"
Since it doesn't exclusively say that something went wrong (at least as far as I can understand), I pondered the message a bit, but moved on to try and start dbus by issuing
"systemctl enable dbus.service",
to which I got the reply
"The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled using systemctl."
This I can only assume is an error message of some sort, especially seeing as it says "not meant to be enabled using systemctl", but the wiki rather explicitly states that that is what I am supposed to do.
I dare not move on (or attempt to start other daemons) without further advice, as I fear I might break my system. Any ideas as to how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.

indicates that running "systemctl enable syslog.service" is now enabled.
If you try running sytemtctl enable <whatever>.service and get
"The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled using systemctl." means there is no <whatever>.service file available to enable.
The dbus.service as far as I know is already enabled when installing systemd and doesn't require any action.
Ah, right, systemd is chatty (I'm of the old skool; if nothing is/goes wrong, a program should keep quiet).
Oh ok, then I should dare more on.
ZekeSulastin wrote:To be a bit more precise, it means the service is there but it's only used as a dependency for something else; the [Install] section of the file is what tells systemctl where to link it and such. Also, where exactly in the wiki were you told explicitly to 'systemctl enable dbus.service'? I can easily point you to the sections in both installation guides that tell you how to set things like /etc/localtime et. al (also `man 7 archlinux`), but not the one that said to manually enable dbus.
Ah, I see; and well, I was told right here, going from the top, to "Enable Daemons formerly listed in rc.conf [...] For a translation of the daemons from /etc/rc.conf to systemd services, see: List of Daemons and Services.", and, using the list, dbus is mentioned there, as you can see. Since I started from the top, I did not know that you didn't need to enable that service. Perhaps it could be added to the descriptions of the relevant services in the Wiki which ones are autostarted?
ZekeSulastin wrote:Lastly, I don't think trying to continue conversations from a closed thread is a very good idea, let alone doing it in a giant undivided wall of text that makes it quite difficult to pick out much any single topic.
Meh, I directly refer to the relevant people, they can easily see their own old posts in the previous thread, etcetera... I think te ones who have something to say will be able to find my replies to their previous statements (or so I hope). For now, as everyone can see, I quote stuff (but man might I make some huge posts if I ever post again in the future, if I quote what I reply to).

Hmm, I think it means cop-out for lack or proper arguments/responses... But ok, I'll let it slide, for now (mainly as I can't do much else).
tomegun wrote:You are not meant to enable dbus.service as it is enabled unconditionally. To check the enabled/disabled state of your services try "systemctl list-unit-files". "static" means that you are not supposed to enabled/disable it.
Ah ok, thank you. Now, having abandoned all hope, I'll start configuring again and see how it goes... May the void protect me. If I die, grieve not for me, but remember me in the fight against hard-to-configure applications.
(edit/addon)
Actually, what am I supposed to do with "hwclock"? the List of Daemons only says that I shouldn't run that in tandem with ntpd, but I'm not running ntpd, so... How do I get hwclock with systemd?
Edited for additional question.

Dell Power Edge 6400 CDROM Problem

When installing Solaris 8 for intel in a Dell Power Edge 6400 with two processors, everything looks fine at the begginning before booting, I mean the Cd rom drive is detected as booteable, but when the system start to install, it asks from where to extract the operating system and in the list does not appear the CD Rom, it just displays the networks cards.
Please I have more than a week with this problem, I already check the HCL, I already changed the HD, the CdRom (twice), but it continues without detecting the cdrom after booting.
The Cdrom is in the scsi 5.
Any body in UK, USA, Mexico or wherever please HELP.
Carlos Herrera

If I remember right the Dell Power Edge had an adaptec 160 controller which
you have to download and install the scsi drivers from the Adaptec website.
Check and verify which scsi controller you have on your Dell.

Newbie with a Motif ES8 - optimum setup with a minimalistic approach?

hi,
I'm trying to decide on the optimum setup with a minimalistic approach!
I a newbie with the Motif ES8 and am at cross roads deciding on the type of computer setup for my VST.
PC + Cubase vs. MAC + Logic Pro or Logic Pro Express?
With MAC, how far do I need to go;i.e. MACBook Pro a must?
how many USB ports (types 400 vs 800), etc?
With Logic Pro, is Express going to be sufficient for a full soup to nuts recording and mastering given that this is for a home studio setup though with an idealist running it?
I'm a one woman show and so don't need too many inputs/outputs. I'd be recording a track at a time and my songs take up less than 16 tracks.
I would really appreciate any and all responses.
Roya
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

thanks for the detailed response PK
so, the extra USB port on the HD would facilitate a
hub type interface i.e. once you hook up another\
device to the HD via USB, you're really hooked up to
the computer.. right? and so, if I get a powered USB
Hub, this wouldn't really matter.. correct?
For the most part, you have to be careful hooking
too many devices up to a computer WHEN you are trying
to do some sound work. When they say a computer
can do ABC we sometimes think that should include D.
As for the sound interface, I already have an
Audiophile that has midi in/out, firewire to
computer, RCA jack for i/o. I know its not the high
end stuff but I hope to do a stepwise upgrade here if
at all possible..
That actually might work, if it supports at least
16 bit 44.1 khz that is the lowest you want to go.
Ideally it should be 24 bit to take advantage of Logics
24bit environment. You might be able to run the ES8
straight into those RCA jacks if they are SPDIF and your
keyboard has the same on the back.
There are a bunch of people on Motifator discussion
groups that warn against Apple's lack of support for
Logic. Not sure if the concern is only regarding the
combination of Yamaha (Motif) and Apple (Logic).
I went and read that thread, here are some of my thoughts
on some of this.
Can't comment on MAC, but a dear friend of mine who is an audio engineer said >he had walked away from Logic after Apple bought them out. "Straight downhill" >I think is how he put it.
Many windows users just hate Apple and their products.
I think much of it is ignorance. They will say
Macs are junk but when I ask them why
they never have an answer or say something
that is false. It sounds like this "professional"
did not even wait to see that Logic did get better.
Apple charges 200.00 for support of it's Professional
applications. You really do not need it since there are
so many experienced Logic users here that I never had
a question go unanswered. I've noticed on those forums
the same small group of people do most of the problem
solving. I am not overly impressed with Yamaha's support.
I had my questions about my keyboard answered quicker
by those forums. So I guess both companies need work
in this area. Frankly, for recording, I think the Motif
and Logic are a Killer combination. Both have steep
learning curves but once you get up to speed I think
the results speak for themselves. The main difference
in my opinion is that the Motif is the ultimate
performance tool and Logic is the ultimate studio toolshop.
After having a Motif for over a month, I am convinced
it has a steeper learning curve than Logic take for instance
that thread on getting your keyboard to record it's own
audio output. The list of things to do each time is as long
as my arm. In case you did not read it here it is.
First thing – STORE your MIX setup and SAVE the Song to SmartMedia (or USB mass storage device) before resampling it so you have a backup. You would create a mix to balance the instruments the way you like them.
* Select a target track, then press the [INTEGRATED SAMPLING] button.
Setup the parameters for resampling:
* Press [F1] DEST
* Select a TRACK and [KEYBANK] (note) into which you will record the resampled data. You can target either an empty track or the track on which you are going to play (if you are going to play along). If all tracks are full, don't worry, you can still resample anyway.
* Press [F2] SOURCE. Set the source parameters as follows:
- Type = Sample - with this type the Integrated Sampling Sequencer will not create any NOTE-ON data in your sequencer, it will just simply add a new sample waveform to the waveform list
- Source = Resample
- Mono/Stereo = Stereo
- Next = OFF
- Frequency = 44.1k
* Press [F6] REC This will place the sampling sequencer in Standby mode. Set the TrggrMode paramter to Manual
* Press Start on the sequencer and check your levels. If too low set the REC GAIN higher +6bB or +12dB, if the level is to high (clipping- you will see a lightning bolt) lower the GAIN to -6dB or -12dB. When you have checked the levels, press STOP and return to the top of the SONG.
* Press F6 REC to start the Resample, Press [>] (play) to begin recording the resample. The Motif ES will draw the wave as it samples.
* When the song is over press [F6] STOP. The Motif ES will take a few moments to gather the data.
To create the .wav file:
* Press [FILE]
* Press [F1] CONFIG
* Press [SF1] CURRENT
* If you will be saving the resampled song to a SmartMedia Card set the Current parameter to CARD. To save to a USB device, set this parameter to USB
* Press [F2] SAVE
* Set the data TYPE field to WAV
* Cursor down and Name the wave
* (If desired, navigate to the subdirectory where you want to save the *.wav file.)
* Press [ENTER]
* The ES will ask you which TRACK and NOTE to save as a wave file. Enter the values you selected as the sample destination in the procedure above.
* Press and hold the AUDITION button to make sure your sample is there.
* Press [ENTER] and the Motif ES will export the sample as a .wav to your SmartMedia card or USB device.
Once you have configured Logic which are takes about
3 minutes (and only has to be done once)
and set up the keyboard which takes 30 seconds.
(this has to be done once for each session)
you plug your keyboard into your audio interface then
Hit Record
that is the whole list, two words.
Once it is in Logic, you have many way to edit it
and process if needed. The midi is much
easier to manipulate and there are more
ways than the ES has keys. Plus you can add to the
sounds with the internal instruments which are
as sophisticated and as high quality as the ES.
Then if your happy with it you can create MP3's
and burn Red book compliant CD's for
commercial duplication.
It really is a complete setup.
But at any rate I'm going to do some more research on
another scenario, i.e. what about MAC and Cubase? As
you may know Yamaha just acquired Cubase..
I dont think I would be the best to comment on that.
Maybe ask one of the Gurus on the unofficial
website for Cubase, The Cubinator.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
you've been very helpful - thanks again
cheers,
Roya
Cheers!
P.S. I agree with Dave, If you have a Macbook
Pro you dont need another computer. If you
wanta desktop whatever reasons I understand
Oh and btw, what's QWERTY?
They are the first 6 keys (top row/left to right)
on your computer keyboard

Kt333 Ultra 2 + Msi 52x Cdrom = Problems

im running the kt333 ultra 2 mother board, and have bought an msi starspeed 52x cdrom, problem i am having is that when it boots up, and scans the Ide's it throws out a bunch of ascii characters for the cdrom, in the bios, if i set that sec ide master to cd/dvd it wont find one, if i let it auto detect, it shows the strange ascii art. any ideas why to msi products wont work together?

HI sanityloss,
Can you list out your IDE devices such as :
IDE 1 master : ......
IDE 1 slave : ....
IDE 2 master : ....
IDE 2 slave : ...
(RAID) IDE 3 , IDE 4... etc
Also, tell us how you connect the IDE cable(s). Is it 80-conductors or 40-conductors type? Blue header on the motherboard?
And also how do you set the jumpers on all the drives, Master, Slave, or Cable Select?
Your issue here might be something wrong with all these settings, such as wrong cabling, wrong jumper settings, etc.
Please give us the information so we can sort this out.
