No sound with Midi.. I'm a noob, I apologize, but i need some help please!

Ok, I have my logic pro studio, version 8.0.2. and I have a duet pedal. Now, I have my piano hooked up through the duet pedal, and then going via fire wire to my mac for recording. I opened up Logic Pro, and selected empty Midi Project to record.. it shows a piano in Logic, and says "record ready" yet when i hit record I get no sound, doesn't record anything and this freaking 1000 page book has me lost on what to do!
I'm just trying to record midi so that I can convert and do the Notation Music to turn my music into sheet music. Can someone help me please? On another note, I did save my project so that it was saved....

I figured out how to get the midi on there.. but now, I need to figure out how to get sound

  • HT4796 I can't see where are the folders that I had in my old PC on my new Mac after the migration. Even when I see it on my Mac using the search box, it doesn't appear with the right order of my old PC. I need some help, please.

    I used the Migration utilitie from Lion and eventhough I know the folders are there (with a quick search I find images etc) the proper order is not displayed.

  • Problems with 10.7.X - need some help please

    Where to begin???
    New mac mini with 10.7.x
    Double clicking the top of the window won't collapse window like in previous versions.
    Double clicking on a folder that is on the desktop opens behind the hard drive window.
    When restarting or logging back in, all my icons are in a different place (scattered) than where they were when logging out or shutting down. This is in reference to my hard drive window. I have everything there on icon view. All other sub folders are list view, no problems with those. How do I get 10.7.x to remember the window view?
    I imported all my mail and mailboxes and sorted them where I wanted them from a mac mini running 10.4.11 and at the next restart they were all back where  they were before I sorted them. I even threw out mailboxes that I didn't need anymore and they reappeared.
    I am so confused. I almost feel like a bought a pc with a MS operating system.
    And God forbid I need to reinstall the system, there is no way to do that because there is no dvd, let alone a dvd drive. And no I didn't sign up for icloud.
    I know I sound kind of pi$$y, but I am frustrated and don't have a lot of time to devote to getting this straightened out.
    I would really appreciate some assistance.

  • Beaten to death I know - but I need some help with Gtalk

    Hello all,
    So I am 100% certain that the topic of Gtalk and the ability to communicate to buddies on other IM servers has been just flat out abused by now. With that said - I've been driving myself completely crazy trying to set this darn thing up correctly, not to mention the tremendous amounts of time that I've blown.
    So...... before I continue to waste away more time & patience - I want to put in my own words what I am trying to accomplish, check with you peeps and see where I need to go from here to fill in the blanks.
    Here we go: I have been using iChat that is set up with my Google talk "Jabber" account and it works great as long as your entire world of people you'd like to chat with are also using Gtalk. My problem has been that many of my friends & family have hotmail or yahoo, I am completely unable to chat with them, as when I try to put in the needed info I get the infamous "waiting for authorization" (if only a snickers bar came with that).
    I would like to be able to use my GTalk account and chat with friends using Yahoo or Hotmail - using iChat as my way of doing so.
    I've already attempted (likely unsuccessfully) the whole Psi thing, heck I've created who knows how many different accounts and can only hope that I've accomplished fully deleting most of them. Quite honestly I'm just not able to put the Psi thing together correctly, or at least in such a way that will allow me to continue using Gtalk + the ability to chat with those using Yahoo or Hotmail.
    If anyone could offer some explicit info on
    a) can this be done (easily would be great), or am I truly just wasting time...
    b) maybe point me to a website(s) that is(are) designed along the lines of "iChat & IM for dummies guide"
    Hope that makes some sense.......
    Thanx in advance!
    -A-

    iChat for Dummies link
    http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page5.html#_jabber
    See the three links in the Jabber section
    Now it was certainly the case that you could set up Transports on other server and your Jabber ID that was logged in would see that an use it even if you were not logged into that particular server. (So using GoogleTalk would see MSN Buddies effectively)
    I am not quite so sure that this is the case now. I rarely use the Jabber side myself as I have always had some Buddies showing as Not Authorised and Awaiting Authorisation even If I have chatted to them.
    I have found that some of the Jabber servers I originally used have stopped MSN and other transports which does not help.
    I have found I have had to check by using Psi that a transport is still active.
    In the table of poeple willing to test http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/ContactTesters.html I regard Gil Taylor as the most knowledgable about things Jabber.
    He has not been able to post here as frequently as he did due to other commitments but try AIM texting him first.
    This may not be the answer you wanted but may help moving on.

  • I Know I am in the Wrong Room, but I Need Some Help with an Mpeg 2 File

         Hi, all--
    Forgive me as best you can--I am in a fairly desperate situation. Allow me to explain, and please feel free to contact me at [email protected] if you know a lot about this stuff I'm going to describe.
    We have a project, 29 minutes long. It is a slideshow of paintings with original music by me.
    I live in central Mexico (love it!). However, I was forced to use a video editor who has been a dunce so far. No matter what I ask him for, whether it is a version in a specific format or an edit, I get something different. Every time he has fixed a problem, he has created a new one.
    Now his house was broken into and all of his computers were stolen--I suspect he only has low quality backup files of the project.
    We are in a huge rush, because this is supposed to debut at an arts festival in October, and we need to duplicate a few hundred DVDs first...and now the problem:
    ALL WE HAVE FROM HIM IS AN MPEG2 of the project. The sound won't play on my Mac, but it plays on my friend's PC, so I have to assume that a pro duplication house won't have a problem with the sound if I send him the file on a thumb drive.
    THE PROBLEM WITH THE MPEG2 is that it is jittery when key images slide across the screen. This will look terrible on a 6 x 10' screen at the premiere, plus we do not want to sell DVDs with this unprofessional look.  I asked the editor for an M2V file (requested by the guy who was going to create a menu) and he instead gave me an Mpeg2 that is jittery.
    QUESTION: is there such a program that can take an mpeg 2 and eliminate jitter? I do NOT think I can get another file from the editor.
    CAN ANY OF YOU DO THE WORK IF I SEND YOU THE FILE? I WILL PAY.
    Thanks.
    Doug

    First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
    "First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
    On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
    "Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
    Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
    I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
    Thanks,
    Doug

  • I have a older intel MacBook pro, now when I try to start up instead of the apple logo I see a file folder with a question mark. Need some help please.

    I have a first gen MacBook pro with intel chip. All of a sudden when I try to start up instead of the apple logo I see a file folder with a question mark. Phone support wasn't much help since it is a older machine. It's either a software issue or the hard drive went. Any ideas on how to fix if it's a software issue would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

    Thanks I tried that and when I click repair it tells me

    Invalid b-free node size
    Volume check failed
    Error: the underlying task reported faliure on exit.

  • Need some help with strange sounds in Logic Pro 8

    Hi!
    I need some help with a problem I have in Logic Pro 8.
    When I have arrange window open, suddley strange high tones starts to make noise in my headphones. I don't know where these sounds comes from or why, but I need some help to get them away. Should I just try to contact Apple?
    Martin

    Hi Martin
    Welcome to the forum. Give everyone here some more info about your set up otherwise it may be difficult to figure out what is wrong.
    Which mac?
    Which OS?
    any hardware devices?
    if you are listening through headphones using the built in audio from the mac, you may be hearing fan noise or a hard drive spin noise.

  • Need some help with guitar setup...

    jeez, never thought i'd be asking a question like this after playing for like 20 years, but i need some help with a guitar setup for mac. i'm gonna list out a lot of crap here that prolly doesn't affect anything at all, but here goes.
    Imac 17inch G4 - latest updated OS X... 10.4, or 5, or whatever. garageband 3.0
    digitech gnx-3
    alesis sr-16
    sure mic's
    yamaha e203 keyboard
    here's the setup:
    yamaha is on its own on a usb uno midi interface, sure's connected to gnx's xlr port, alesis connected to gnx's jam-a-long input, '87 kramer vanguard connected to gnx's guitar input. currently running headphones out on gnx to line in on mac.
    here's the problem:
    everything works beautifully, but my guitar sounds like crap. if i plug headphones into the gnx, it sounds beautiful. that makes me think its some kind of level issue between the gnx's output, and the mac's input, but nothing seems to fix it.
    by sounding like crap, i mean way too much bass. sound is muddy, blurry, not crisp... aka crap. i've tried altering both output and input on mac and gnx, and i cant get a combination that works. the gnx has a s/pdif out, can the mac accept that as input? might that help? short of running the gnx to my marshal half stack and mic'ing that, anyone have any suggestions, or use a similar setup?
    any help would be greatly appreciated!

    anyone? ... any suggestions? I think it might be an issue with the gnx pre-amping the signal as it goes out, and then the mac amping it on the way in, giving me a buttload more signal than i need, but since i cant find a happy level, i'm not really sure. i really dont want to resort to mic'ing my marshall... even with the volume almost off, my jcm900 is WAY too loud for apartment use. its not like i really NEED the guitar to sound perfect, i only use garageband to sketch out ideas for songs between myself and bandmates, but its really annoying to not have my customary crisp distortion. my bass player keeps telling me to use the built in amps, but, not to dis a practically free program, but the built in amps blow, at least after 10 years of marshall tube amplification they do. if anyone has any suggestions that might be helpfull on how i might resolve this, i would be your best friend for life and go to all your birthday parties

  • Need some help with sound quality

    Hi guys, new here. I'm working on creating an album on my own. Bass and vocals are real, everything else is using software instruments. I have about 8 songs done, but the problem is I don't really know what I'm doing as far as recording and levels go.
    I'm using studio headphones and everything sounds fantastic through them, and even pretty good if I just hook up some earbuds, but when I bounce out a track and burn them to do a disc and play it in my car, it sounds awful. Suddenly the guitar is too low, drums are too loud.
    I really need some help here. I'm even willing to pay someone to get me on the right track. Using paypal or whatever.

    AecDuck wrote:
    Where's the fun in that? Maybe you have different motives, but I got into home recording because I like doing things myself, even if I have to learn the hard way. If you know enough to get good bass and vocal recordings and mix that with virtual instruments, then you are well on your way to making a decent sounding mix. Mixing in headphones can be very deceiving. Things simply sound different in headphones. You need some monitors, even if they are crappy because if you can get it to sound good in crappy monitors it will likely sound good on other speakers.
    The fun and experience comes from getting a good balance that sounds good in headphones, and in the monitors, and in your home stereo, and in your car stereo. Use the different audio systems as a reference. If the drums are too quiet in the car, bring them up a bit. If the bass is too loud in your headphones, put them down a bit.
    If you bring in your recordings to be mixed by somebody else, first of all you're going to end up paying hundreds, if not $1000+ dollars, even in a sub-par studio. Secondly, it's never going to sound how you want it to sound. It's going to sound how THEY want it to sound.
    I know it takes longer, and it's hard work, but you will have such a tremendous amount of satisfaction when your project is done knowing that YOU recording it, and YOU mixed it on YOUR equipment. It will be 100% yours.
    Where's the fun? How about the fun in interacting with another human being? How about the satisfaction in having another validate what you've been trying to produce?
    I don't think it's helpful to make generalizations about what type of experience the OP might have in getting professional help. I have had good experiences working with mixing engineers, and perhaps I have just been lucky, but I've been able to produce music that sounded how I wanted it to sound, but at a level beyond which my skill at the time would have been able to produce, AND I gained some insights to help me in the future.
    It IS satisfying to teach yourself a new skill. And it takes a lot of patience, trial and error, and you might miss the mark more often than you hit it. If you're in a rush, it might be a viable solution to contact some studios and see if you can work with them. Learning from others is perfectly acceptable.

  • Need some help with wine + midi

    Howdi guys!
    I need some help. I'd like to run an application which is only available for Windows and OSX, so my choice is wine. This application needs to send midi signals to the hardware it is supposed to control.
    In the product's forum there is a thread which shows how it can be done. But the newest releases of wine don't allow this, because it doesn't support jack anymore.
    I think basically it doesn't matter which application it is I run in wine, the question is, is it possible to send midi signals in and out through wine? If so, how? Might be that it's quite trivial, in my defense I have to say that I never worked with midi before.
    The soundcard I use is an Edirol UA-25 which is fully supported in Linux, midi works.
    Thanks for any ideas!
    edit: Forgot two things: I know I could try older versions of wine or running it in a virtual machine, but I want to avoid this.
    Last edited by Army (2012-04-27 07:15:33)

    For that app, you will probably be using the ALSA-midi interface. So, you shouldn't require Wine to have jack support. - In fact, that picture clearly shows that Wine is using ALSA-midi, but he is using jackd + a2jmidid (which exposes alsa-midi 2 jack-midi).
    As long as that software doesn't require a special driver, you should be able to use it. As for the specifics, i would imagine that you would start jackd, start a2jmidid and then start your application. - you also have to make sure your midi device is connecting before launching your app in wine - otherwise the device won't show up in your wine app. You also will need to select your midi interface in your application. After this, you should be able to connect your wine app (through the a2jmidi bridge) to your hardware.
    But if for whatever reason you can't get it too work ~ i do actually use a VM for updating firmware on 2 different audio devices (a soundcard and midi-controller) - and it works great. I am using VMware, but i would imagine virtualbox would work very similar..

    That's not something you can do using templates or by
    dropping in a free
    script; it's pretty complicated. You need to know how to
    design a database
    and write server-side code. Dreamweaver will help you write
    the code, but
    you still need to plan and design the whole application. I'd
    recommend
    starting with a book. It sounds like PHP is going to be your
    best bet - does
    your host server support it? If so, do a search on Amazon.com
    for books on
    Dreamweaver and PHP, and/or ask for recommendations here.

  • Need some help with computation

    Hi, I need some help with the following:
    My page 3 is a form thats shows, among other things, a document ID (:P3_DOC_ID). Next to this item I have created a button that calls a document selection form (page 10).
    On selection this forms sets 2 items:
    P10_SELECTED (Y or N)
    P10_DOC_ID (the selected documents ID value)
    When the user selects a document he returns to the calling form.
    On page 3 I now try to capture the selected values. For a test item I managed to do this by defining this items source as:
    [PL/SQL function body]
    begin
    if V('P10_SELECTED') = 'Y'
    then
    return V('P10_DOC_ID'); -- selected value
    else
    return V('P3_TEST'); -- else the original value
    end if;
    end;
    However I want P3_DOC_ID to capture the selected value. I tried using a computation but that did not work. Any ideas?
    thanks Rene

    You might want to check if the "Source Used" attribute for P3_DOC_ID is set to always or to "only when ..." it sounds like you need it set to "only when ..."
    If that does not work try this
    Place the following in a pl/sql anonymous block and turn off your
    computation.
    if :P10_SELECTED = 'Y'
    then
    :P3_DOC_ID := :P10_DOC_ID; -- selected value
    else
    :P3_DOC_ID := :P3_TEST; -- else the original value
    end if;
