Preferred methods of mixing exs 24 tracks???

what is actually the "right" way to mix an audioinstrument containing an EXS 24??
Let's say you have 3 or 4 instances of EXS 24 (bass, strings, guitar, rhodes)...do you just leave them as is, and bounce your tune?? or do most bounce each individual instrument to audio and then remix the audio file into the session?
is there a big difference between bouncing a stereo interleaved and a mono L+R and panning each left and right???
I've normally just left the EXS's as is and bounced the entire tune, but recently noticed that after bouncing, the instruments sometimes get lost in the mix and somewhat flatten out...
any thoughts??

Ugh! it seems that you need some basic explanations:
"what is actually the "right" way to mix an audioinstrument containing an EXS 24??"
Just as mixing any other track in any other mixing studio
"Let's say you have 3 or 4 instances of EXS 24 (bass, strings, guitar, rhodes)...do you just leave them as is, and bounce your tune?? or do most bounce each individual instrument to audio and then remix the audio file into the session"
Do you come from Pro Tools eh? Sorry. But you have to ERASE all the crap Digi leaved in your brain, wipe it and be born again...
Why would you bounce the EXS24 to audio?? it's ALREADY audio.
Just put the plugins you need to mix directly on the EXS24's tracks and mix it!
"is there a big difference between bouncing a stereo interleaved and a mono L+R and panning each left and right???"
Yes, the first option lets you eat more pizzas and enjoy S*x, instead the second will just make you lose time. They are exactly the same.
"I've normally just left the EXS's as is and bounced the entire tune, but recently noticed that after bouncing, the instruments sometimes get lost in the mix and somewhat flatten out..."
ehm, i apologise for my question, but did you evr heard about the word "mix"?
It is obvious that the instruments may get lost in the mix, that's why you ... MIX!
The mixing process needs at least great ears, and a lot of experience. Applying EQ, compression, limiting, early reflections, reverb, panning, and other plugins on your tracks is the way to make a good sounding mix.
If you have the luck to know some good sound engineer, try to get from him some tricks and tips, or ask him to mix it for you, in front of you. That mixing session could have the same value as 10 years experience

ITunes mixes up the track order of songs within an album??

My iTunes mixes up the track order, and there is no way to specifically order it by track. i have even gone and individually marked each song as ie(2 of 12) but it still lists them in a random order. How can I make the songs fit in their original order? And none of that "click at the top to order it by artist, album, or time etc," because it doesn't click above track number.

If the songs are in a playlist open iTunes then click on the playlist. Click on the number column (extreme left). Click on the song you want to move and drag it to where you want it to be. Right click on the playlist name and select "Copy to play order". Connect your iPod, if you are updating automatically it will pick up the change. If you are updating manually then you connect first and when the iPod appears in the source list carry out the process above directly in the playlist on your iPod. Make sure neither Shuffle or Repeat are switched on in the playlist, either of those can prevent you reordering tracks.
If the tracks are out of order in the library try this, I found that it works for me. Right click at the top of any column in your iTunes library and choose **Track Number** from the list. Click at the top of this new column to sort it and after that click on the Album column. If you like you can then click on Artist, it will continue to hold the track order as well. Afterwards anything you import should follow this arrangement Artist>Album>Track Number within Album (you can hide the track number column when you've done if you don't want it cluttering up the view)

Is there a way to mix down your tracks into one so you can have more tracks to use

Here is my tutorial to bounce tracks

some quality is lost due to export compression, but it's bareable considering you don't need to connect to a pc or use itunes...

How can I split my Dj mix into separate tracks and export the tracks

How can I split my Dj mix into separate tracks and export the tracks. I'm trying to burn my Dj mix to cd and I don't want it to be one long track.

Does Adobe Air support mixing 14 audio tracks with different timings with no latency?

We are looking to port our iPhone application to Adobe Air and wanted to see if this is even feasible
See an app demo here: http://vimeo.com/5737825

What platforms? On Android there is or was a bug with audio latency that would interfere with your goals. The bug is in the Android OS IIRC. If you want to contact me offlist I can put together an AIR project to test mixing as many tracks as you'd like and include buttons to trigger them (source included).

I'm trying to mix a guitar track so it is heard in the right and left ear and not in the center

I'm trying to mix a guitar track in GarageBand. I'd like to have the same guitar track heard in the right and left ear. When I mix it that way, the guitar comes from the center. Is there a way to place this track so that it appears to come from both the left and right side?

If my finger picked guitar track is doubled and pasted slightly ahead or behind, the guitars will be out of sync, I think, and sound off in mix.
emphasis on "tiny amount"
TINY fractions of a second. this is how you get the "full sound"
zoom in as far as you can, and make sure the "snap to grid" and "alignment guides" menuItems are not checked.

Mixing Down Multiple Tracks - Question

Hi.
Is it possible to mix down 2 or more tracks into 1 single track?
I'm doing some soundtrack work, working on the multi-track editor to a video I imported. I have a constant background ambiance that I made using the multi-track editor and the apple loops.
Is there a way I can mix the 3+ tracks that make up this ambiance down into 1 single track? Thus giving me less tracks to worry about (and less clutter) when editing additional foley sound effects etc.. over the ambiance?
Any help would be appreciated

Export your mix. In the After Export drop-down you should find *Add to New Tracks in session* (or something like that)

Freezing EXS Instrument Tracks...can and can't do it??

Hi everybody. Got a new question for anyone and everyone:
In a couple of my songs I have to option (present button) of freezing EXS instrument tracks and in others I do not. The newer songs I've made and saved that were created by draggin in .band files allow me to freeze EXS tracks while others I created using my autoload do not. (I don't know if this is the case across the board but it seems to be a pattern...)
Is my autoload messing stuff up? Generally am I supposed to be able to freeze EXS? Makes sense that I would.....
Thanks in advance!!!!

Have you selected multi-channel EXS24s? As far as I know it's not possible to freeze these. Worth a look.

Exporting Mix to separate tracks

Hi,
Is there a way to export a mix to separate tracks in STP?
Aim:
Have a mixtape that, if played through, has fades as mixed in STP.
But if listener wants to go to a particular track, they can still do so.
Problem:
STP seems to only output a single file with no way of marking track ID's
Thanks for any response.
Khalid

Ideally, you'll need something like Roxio's Jam to do that. However, the workaround would be to bounce your mix, import the bounce in STP, cut the audio file where you want the IDs to be, export each audio file and burn a CD with Toast without any pause between each song. Note that you'll still need a 2 seconds pause before the first song and that if you want no glitches you should burn in DAO mode.

Copy and Paste audio track MIX from one track to another??

Hi
What's the best way to handle this.
I have a video with one long music track, that I mixed using Adobe Premiere's Audio Mixer.
The musician made a new version of the track with some very slight modifications in the music.
Rather than having to remix the entire new track, I would prefer to either:
1) Copy and paste the attributes of the orginal audio track onto the new music track -- retaining the Mix I did from the original mix. Is this possible? I tried it once and it did not seem to work. (I used the Mixer, not keyframes, to do all of the mix.)
or
2) Is there a setting in Premiere's Audio mixer to "gang" the new track to the old one -- with the new track cloning the old track's mix.
Or would it be better to bring the two audio tracks into Soundbooth and do it there?
Thanks,
...Rowby

Thanks Colin
I did a complicated mix on one long background music track and was not looking forward to doing that remix because of various minor music changes made by the musician scattered throughout that long track.
Your Alt (for replace solution) worked perfectly and saved me a ton of time.
The fact that Copy attributes for Audio doesn't work for copying audio keyframes is another reason do do audio mixes using the Mixer instead of using keyframes to adjust volume.
...Rowby
P.S. And a big LIKE to Adobe's clever programmers for including features like these.

MIXING DOWN VIDEO TRACKS

I am ready to out put my project which has multiple video layers. I know I can nest my effect layers but is there a way to mix down all of my layers making one video layer with all of the effects rendered?

Then there's still no need to "mixdown" the video.
For DVD, the best method is to export a self-contained or reference movie (File->Export->QuickTime Movie). Note that if your Sequence isn't already fully rendered, it may take some time. Also make sure you include chapter markers if needed and that you do NOT recompress all frames.
Use the QuickTime Movie in Compressor and choose the appropriate DVD preset.
Once Compressor is done, import the resulting .m2v video file and the .ac3 audio file into DVD-SP for authoring and burning.
For going to tape, fully render the Timeline then then perform a 'Print-to-Video' or just hit record on your DV recorder and hit the space bar on your Mac keyboard (assuming you're working in DV).

What are the preferred methods for backing up a cluster node bootdisk?

Hi,
I would like to use flarcreate to backup the bootdisks for each of the nodes in my cluster... but I cannot see this method mentioned in any cluster documentation...
Has anybody used flash backups for cluster nodes before (and more importantly - successfully restored a cluster node from a flash image..?)
Thanks very much,
Trevor

Hi, some backround on this - I need to patch some production cluster nodes, and obviously would like to backup the rootdisk of each node before doing this.
What I really need is some advice about the best method to backup & patch my cluster node (with a recovery method also).
The sun documentation for this says to use ufsdump, which i have used in the past - but will FLAR do the same job? - has anyone had experiance using FLAR to restore a cluster node?
Or if someone has some other solutions for patching the nodes? - maybe offline my root mirror (SVM) - patch root disk - barring any major problems - online the mirror again??
Cheers, Trevor

Stored procedure or table adapter for insert etc. - preferred method

We are using ver 4.112.1.2 of ODP.Net in Visual Studio 2010.
I was what would be considered best practice regarding how to perform a simple insert into a table.
I know of two ways:
First, we could just call the insert through the table adapter like:
if adp is a table adapter
adp.Insert(reqID, DateTime.Now, reqByUserID, acctNum);or we could call a stored procedure in Oracle to do the insert.
What are the particular advantages or disadvantages to both methods?
I know the stored procedure could be helpful because it centralizes the method of inserting. It ensures everything else that may need to be along with the insert is done. I also know that calling the stored procedure would require more lines of Dot.Net code.

These are the errors iam getting .
But the Existing Stored Procedure which needs to be exposed , works fine on sqlplus.

Player skins - How can we best share them, what is the preferred method?

MXML provides a format for interchangeability but am I right in assuming we need Flex to author/modify UI Look and Feel? Can we use Flash with MXML or Fireworks and import to OSMF, what is best practice please?

Many thanks,
     In answer to your question, I would like to see true (2.5D (including a basic Z dimension feature for stacking elements)) multi-layer layouts exported straight from fireworks, this would allow the positions of elements to be shifted/tweaked after the initial player startup without the 'flattening' and de-objectifying the elements that simple 'cake cutter' bitmap exports will have.
     It will also allow fancy branding and a future for possible animation of elements such as visual skewing or zooming to suit different screen dimensions, this would give a "1 set of player gui elements" fits all screens/handsets feature and allow for 'inplay screen flips' for handheld users without loading 2 layouts.
     Rich media presentations, as opposed to simple video, will need everchanging player layouts and branding while playing the mixed media.
