Please help, GB questions.

Hi, I have a few questions that I have been googling for hours. I have a Macbook and Garageband 9.
Firstly, I need to get a real keyboard. At the minute I am having to use musical typing, which is awful. Unless you slow the tempo to 60 or lower, if you try and do a drum beat at normal speed there's a huge lag between when you hit the button and the sound appears on the screen, which is infuriating. I can get round this most of the time by doing it slowly, or splitting and pasting, although this is tedious. Is there a way of making the drum beats 'in time' after you have played them, a function for instance, say if one or two of the beats are a few milliseconds out? i'm not talking about the metronome, like I said, I play it in time but the lag causes it to play back erratically.
Secondly, I can't seem to play my electric guitar through my Mac with garageband. I have a mono adapter which I am running through the line-in, I have changed both GB and computer preferences to line in, but nothing happens. I presumed it was because of low audio so I ran it through my amp, still nothing.
Lastly- is there a way, when you have sample files of wav or mp3 format, that you can assign each sample to a key on the macbook, as an instrument? For instance, the rock drumkit that comes with GB, has all the drum sounds, going up in octaves for more sounds. If I sampled a drumkit myself, could i assign say, the 'a' key for kick, 's' for snare etc like the bundled instruments?
Thankyou in advance.

At the minute I am having to use musical typing, which is awful.
There is another software tool (the name escapes me at the moment) which is supposedly a lot better. But you're right, get a keyboard.
Is there a way of making the drum beats 'in time' after you have played them, a function for instance, say if one or two of the beats are a few milliseconds out?
In the Editor window, there's a slider that allows to to quantize the notes to any grid, either partially or completely.

Just asking - you are using a real instrument track, right?
Lastly- is there a way, when you have sample files of wav or mp3 format, that you can assign each sample to a key on the macbook, as an instrument?
Select a software instrument track and then one of the Sound Effects instruments. Then you can drop any sound file onto the keys of the Musical Typing keyboard.

  • PlEASE HELP EASY QUESTION: unload event is not firing at all.

    Hi, onUnload event is not firing in Safari browser. I tried with different ways to capture that event but i failed to capture that event. So please help me on this, give suggestions to capture that event. Or any other event is firing when window is closing. Actually, i need to execute when window is closing. But in Safari the window is closing without firing of any events.

    Safari doesn't execute the unLoad action when closing windows, period!
    It only executes it when loading another page.
    I might be wrong but I think Safari doesn't allow you to close a window with Javascript at all. All close events are blocked.
    Maybe a SWF file can do it somehow. But I'm not sure...

  • PLEASE HELP- flashing question mark in folder

    Hi everyone,
    last night I was just on my macbook as usual and suddenly it froze, so I turned it off. When i went to turn it back on, all that appeared was a flashing question mark in a folder.
    I have tried all the suggestions on this page http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58042 , but none of them worked because it didn't even recognise/find the harddrive in the disk utility section. I don't have apple care ($419 is a lot of money for a student!) but I only bought the macbook about 6 months ago, so it is still within warranty. What should I do now?
    Any help is much much appreciated!
    Melissa

    Melissa,
    I just had the same exact problem last night too. I called the apple technical service number and nothing they did helped because the hard drive wasn't found. I even got a fire wire cable and tried to hook my MacBook up to another Mac and tried the target disk mode hoping I could pull off data that I needed, but the other mac couldn't find the disk either. I'm kind of worried about losing some of my data. If you could let me know if you find any solution that would be awesome! I plan on going to the apple store this weekend to get it looked at.

  • Please help, simple question about Smart Playlists and Live Updating

    PLEASE for some reason I've never gotten an answer on this.
    I have a Smart Playlist called "Recently Played" with Live Updating. No matter how I set the parameters, the most recently played *song will ALWAYS appear on the bottom of the list when using my iPhone on the go.* I bolded that because I want you to be aware I'm not talking about on iTunes - I'm aware you can change how the list is viewed on iTunes.
    When using your iPod/iPhone on the fly and Live Updating is enabled, is there any way to make the most recently played song appear at the very top???
    Thanks so much

    Haven't seen that problem before but try the following: in iTunes, right-click the playlist name and enable the option "Copy to Play Order." Then sync.
    The normal use of "Copy to Play Order" when you have the playlist displayed in iTunes in some sort order, but you want it to display in the iPod in shuffled order (as it will actually play). Different problem than you are observing, but the same thing "might" help.... Let us know.

  • Please help, few questions on JDI

    Hi,
      I am quite new to JDI and have the following questions which might be silly to you..but these helps me in better understanding of JDI.
    1. Can a track has Multiple SC's?
    2. say if i have a clustered environoment, since we are able to define only one runtime system for production, how are we going to transport to the remaining systems in cluster?
    3. Should a developer import the DC every morning he comes to work?
    4. When does a developer really uses DTR, I mean ofcourse it is used internally by development configuration to maintain the code, but since he will be dealing with development configurations.. it is not really necessary for him to access DTR directly until and unless he wants the prev versions of code. Am I Right?
    5. when a developer 1 creates a DC X with an activity and uses "CHECK IN" on the context menu of the activity, will the developer 2 be able to access the DC X? or should he wait until the developer1 releases the activity.
    6. Is it really necessary to maintain DC's locally in NWDS or is it ok to maintain them in Development configurations?
    I hope that you can help me with your suggestions.
    Thank you
    Shiva

    Hi Sidharth,
      First let me thank you for the reply.
    Following are my comments
    1. OK
    2. OK
    3. I mean, Since the developer doesnt have any code in the local desktop, every morning when he comes to work, he should login and get the dev configs.
      I think the answer for this is "YES". am i right?
    4. I mean, when would it be necessary for me as a developer to use DTR perspective at all? because I am dealing with the Dev configs and any changes and checkins etc.. is done automatically.. I need not go to , DTR perspective to do this. isnt it? if "yes" then when wud a DTR perspective be useful for me.
    5. Got it
    6. But local DC's will be automatically created whenever you import a Dev config and create a new DC in that Dev configuration. Am I right? i.e. although I am disconnected from Central Infrastructure, I will be having DC's locally. isnt it?
    Thank you

  • Please help,Three Questions for Tuxedo

    Hi All
    I am new to Tuxedo, I ha ve three questions about tuxedo:
    1. My Tuxedo is running on Linux, Can it connect to Ms SQL Server running on another server? How?
    2. I want to use C++ to program for Tuxedo server,but I found all samples are developed by C language. I want to know, Is there any special settings or switch
    for C++ language when I program,especially Buildserver.
    3. If there is proxy server between Tuxedo Client and server, is it feasible?
    thanks
    Kevin

    Kevin,
    1. Most modern databases offer a way for a remote database client to connect to a database running on a remote site. (For example, Oracle database provides the SqlNet=db_link parameter to specify a networked connection to a remote database.)
    I'm not familiar with MS SQL Server, but from documentation and previous newsgroup postings it appears that when using SQL Server with the XA interface the application administrator uses the guidgen program to generate an RmRecoveryGuid parameter that is specified as part of the OPENINFO string in the *GROUPS section in the UBBCONFIG file.  If MS SQL Server allows these RmRecoveryGuid parameters to be used on a different machine, then it is possible to access the database from a remote machine using the XA interface.
    (If accessing Tuxedo without using XA, then the application is responsible for connecting to the database in the same
    2. Many customers use C++ to implement Tuxedo applications. The samples/atmi/xmlstockapp application is a sample ATMI application using C++.
    When using C++ with Tuxedo you will need to set the environment variable
    export CC=name_of_C++_compiler
    and you may need to set
    export CFLAGS=any_additional_compilation_flags_required
    3. Customers can use Tuxedo across a proxy server or a firewall. When configuring the workstation listener for this case you will probably need to use the -H external-netaddr parameter as described at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15261_01/tuxedo/docs11gr1/rf5/rf5.html#wp1534543

  • Please help..question about sending pdf file from my ipad to another

    I have a pdf file in Kindle that shows up under documents. I am wanting to locate it and send it from my ipad to another..whether through email or even share through kindle. I contacted kindle and they said I have to contact apple with instructions to retreiving the pdf before I can send it. Anyone know how to do it. It shows up in docs on my kindle app but doesnt show up in itunes or on amazon. Help appreciated!!!!

    I copied this from another discussion - that ironically enough - James and I both participated in. The OP never responded to what I suggested, but I think that this may work.
    I think that the Kindle app uses file sharing so see if you can transfer the files to the computer via iTunes with file sharing.
    iOS: About File Sharing
    Then drag the pdf file from the file sharing window (or use the save to button) onto your desktop. Email it from there and you can even email it to yourself on the iPad and store it any other other PDF app that you may have.

  • Please help, quick question

    Okay my problem is writing a code for payrole. I have to write the code to be 1.5 basepay for every overtime hour between 41 and 60, and be 2 times basepay for every hour over 60. I have done that, which isnt the problem....
    I am using a for loop to allow the user to select the number of employees they want to do at one time. However I am a bit perplexed. After the for loop is over I need to be able to add all the salarys together and come up with a total payrole salary, and I just do not understand how to do that, I will post my java code, sorry if its a little rough, I am just beginning.
    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class FigureWages {
    public static void main(String[] args){
    Scanner input =new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.print("Enter Number of Employees= ");
    double NumbEmploy = input.nextDouble();
    for (int i = 0; i < NumbEmploy; i++)
    System.out.print("Enter Employee Number= ");
    double EmployNumb = input.nextDouble();
    System.out.print("Enter Base Pay= ");
    double basepay = input.nextDouble();
    System.out.print("Enter Hours Worked= ");
    double hours = input.nextDouble();
    if (hours < 60 )
    double overtime1= ((hours-40)*(1.5*basepay)) + (40*basepay);
    System.out.println("Employee Number= "+EmployNumb);
    System.out.println("Base Pay= "+ basepay);
    } System.out.println("Hours Worked= "+hours);
    System.out.println("Pay= " + overtime1);
    else if (hours > 60)
    double overtime1= ((hours-60)*(2*basepay))+(20*(1.5*basepay))+(40*basepay);

  • Please help sdk question

    When the big 2.0 update comes out in june do we need mac computers to have the sdk and enterprise thing or is that just to develop apps you need a mac, or neither

    the SDK requires a mac. SDK stands for software development kit, so unless you are developing applications for the iphone then you will never need it.
    the only thing you need to do is to download the firmware update 2.0 when it comes out in june, all application installations will take place directly from the phone itself. there is nothing extra you will need to download to your computer (with the exception of an itunes update if there is one)

  • Context help (please help, simple question i think)

    Hi, on my webserver, I have a nested tag that goes:
    <Host name="www.mydomain.com">
    <Alias>domain.com</Alias>
    <Context docBase="/home/domainacct/public_html/jsp" path="/jsp" reloadable="true">
    </Context>
    </Host>
    When I use this setup, JSP works! I can access any http://www.mydomain.com/jsp/*.jsp
    But I don't want JSP files to be loadable only from the /jsp directory, as I would like
    to be able to do:
    <Host name="www.mydomain.com">
    <Alias>domain.com</Alias>
    <Context docBase="/home/domainacct/public_html" path="" reloadable="true">
    </Context>
    </Host>
    so that I can access jsp files like: http://www.mydomain.com/test.jsp
    But when I try that setup it doesn't work.
    Do you guys know how I can do this? Thanks.

    nope u can't do that i far as i know.
    the context docBase should be the actual path to the folder. so if your webapp is in C:\TOOLS\webapps\Development than ur docBase is Development....like the root directory for example.
    the context tag as far as i know cannot be used for what u want 2 do. i don't think u can in Java.
