Play two different sounds at same time from Split Keyboard?

Is it possible to configure the Logic Environment so that one can play or record, from a split keyboard, two different EX24/Audio Instrument sounds on two different tracks AT THE SAME TIME... (and/or: combinations of Audioinstrument + Midi)
EG: From C3 down the left hand plays an EX24 bass sound and from C3 upwards the right hand plays an EVP 88 Rhodes sound
Case 1: with the same keyboard
Case 2: play the second sound from another keyboard.
and/or: combinations of Audioinstrument + Midi
Some years back I tried this on a live gig with an iBook and MOTU 828 mixing the EVP88 but was frustrated that I could only access one sound at a time.
Any ideas appreciated..

Yes, there are lots of posts that document this in detail, including several from myself.
Do some searches and you should turn them up.
If you suck at searching and can't find them, post back and I'll search for you.
In short, you either need to do some post Physical Input environment cabling, and/or use Logic's multirecord facility, which is documented in the manual.

Play two instruments at the same time?

Hi!
I'm stuck with GarageBand right now, where I can only play one instrument at a time. Preferably I want to play both (for example) piano and strings using one real-time MIDI input. Is it possible to do that with either Logic Express or Pro?

Do you mean play the same thing at once with two instrumets simultaneously playing two different sounds?

Apple TV plays two languages at the same time!

Hello,
I ripped some of my DVDs using handbrake. I added two language tracks (original language + my mother tongue).
After adding meta data with subler i also checked both language tracks at subler so they will both appear in itunes.
Everything works fine when i watch the movie on my computer, i can perfectly switch languages in the settings menu.
But wen i stream it to my apple tv (i use itunes on my computer at chose apple tv as streaming device/airplay instead of browsing with the apple tv directly)
it will play both languages at the same time! no matter if i chose a language in itunes or not, it always plays both languages.
Did anyone else have this problem?
Or even a solution?

When an apple tv and an airport express are connected at the same time and the apple tv is powered on, the itunes multiple speakers feature will show both the express and the apple tv. you can select either, or both using the multiple speakers option.

How to play two videos at the same time

Container appearing in two different colors at same time screenshot attached .

Hi ,
I am very much impressed with this site Look , as you can observer that
in this the Container is showing in two different colors at the same time as shown in screenshot attached .
Please tell me how to achieve this ??
One Part is Loading Advertisement and other View is their business Rules .
Please tell me how to get this behaviour
Because when i use Application container background color="black" it displays the whole container in Blackm color.
Please help
Thanks in advance.

There are many ways of achieving this. One can be to use background image for the application. Other ways can be to use various containers (panel, canvas etc. with background images) to get this look and feel. Think of it in HTML way. The way you can use div tags to layout your page, you can use various containers of Flex to layout your page.

Keys playing two different sounds at the same time

I keep getting one of the synths whenever I'm playing the Pop Kit, or any drumkit, with my MIDI. Basically when I hit a key, two sounds come out of it when it's only supposed to be one. I've rebooted GB and the MIDI with no success. How can I fix it?

That's weird - never heard of that phenomenon. Could it be that the second sound is coming out of your keaboard? What's your setup?

Can itunes play two songs at the same time? Mine can!!

If you let a song run until just before the end and then click to an earlier part in the song on the time bar, itunes starts playing both that tune and the next one.
Does this happen with anyone else?
What a basic error, how did apple not catch this?
Peace and God Bless.
ibook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Actually, I have the same problem...only moreso.
When I'm streaming from another computer, my songs frequently start double-playing without my doing ANYTHING at all. Right now, The Skeleton Killers' "Despair" is doubling up--that's twice the dirge--and I wasn't even touching the computer when it started.
Oh, goodie! One of the streams has finished and the next song, George Michael's "Outside", has begun, now running concurrently with the last minute of "Despair". I can't tell you how poorly these songs go together.
The problem started with 7.0 and continues with 7.0.1
Apple! Help!

I want to play two sources at the same time - what software is there?

Hi
Something of an unusual request. I have CDs of natural background sounds (my favourite is one of the sea which I have on iTunes on repeat). The sad thing is, I have to choose between these and my music.
What I need is a free CD player (software) that allows me to play my CDs on repeat in the background, then I can use iTunes for all my regular music playlists, and have them both going at once.
Any ideas?

I've found something called SimpleAudioCDPlayer which plays the CD (and does have a Loop facility).
Problems:
1. there is no icon in the Dock, just a little icon that floats right in the middle of my screen (I can adjust it to tiny but it's not moveable and is a bit of a nuisance)
2. more seriously, there is no volume control which means I cannot reduce the sea sound to background sound.
So maybe someone knows of something better?

Executing two commands at the same time from Runtime.getRuntime

Hi everybody,
I m executing a command of imageMagic from javacode to crop and for changing the quality of image.The code is as below :
String changeQuality = new String("convert " + originalImage
                    + " -crop " + imageWidth + "x" + imageHeight + "+" + imageX
                    + "+" + imageY + " -quality " + quality + " " + finalImage);
               Runtime.getRuntime().exec(changeQuality);
But before going to next page of jsp I want the size of the finalImage. So I m calling a new function from the base file, from which i m calling the above function, for getting the size of image:
public String getSize(String finalImage) {
               proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("identify " + finalImage);
As identify cmd gives the size and various values of image but this command is showing the size zero. and if try to read the file then it shows FileNotFoundException.It means the file is not on the server.
What should i do to execute both the command and getting the right result.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to play two videos at the same time in Captivate 4

My idea is to create some e-learning material which shows a screencast of a powerpoint presentation and a video in the top left corner of the screen showing somebody presenting the slides.
Does anybody know if it is possible to do this with Captivate 4?
I know this functionality is provided in Adobe Director.
Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards
Jay

Hi Jay
Do you have the eLearning Suite? If so, you have Adobe Presenter available to you. If you don't, you should be able to download the Presenter installation file and evaluate it.
Presenter is an add in for PowerPoint. The neat thing about it is that it provides for a Table of Contents type of functionality as you see is configured in Captivate. But the twist with that is you are able to do something you cannot do in Captivate. You are able to insert videos inside the TOC area!

Playing two sound waves across two different sound cards simutaneously?

Hello all.
With the help from old board posts and the example VIs packaged with Labview 2009 SP1, I was able to get part of the way.
The goal is to simutaneously play two .wav files, to two different sound cards. So far:
1) I can play one wav file to either sound card
2) I can generate two sine waves of different tones, and push each out to the two cards seperately simutaneously.
But when I replace those two tones from #2 with .wav files, the wave files play alternately. So wav_1 plays to sound_card_1, THEN wav_2 plays to sound_card_2, not simutaneously.
Is it even possible to play 2 wav files simutaneously out to different cards?
I've included a VI of the attempt in #2 above. Disclaimer: my labview skills are minimal and this vi was very experimental so it's probably terrible form.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Tzoom84,
Since there is no way to buffer your sound output on the sound card and use hardware triggering you will be limited to software start timing. You could use semaphores as you said, or simply wire both of the Sound Output writes in parallel inside a single while loop. Since windows is nondeterministic the best you will likely achieve is the two outputs starting within tens of milliseconds of one another. The time between the two starting will be affected by all other processes running on your system and may take much longer.
