Problems with lagging?

I am new to apple as of last month. I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro 13inch 2.26 Intel Core duo, 4gb ram, 320 gb hd. It worked fine for the first month but as of yesterday i noticed a problem with the programs lagging. Its not a serious lag but at times could last 20-40 seconds especially while running Word 2008 and Safari. I have used the disk utilities and have also reset my pram but there has been no change in performance. If someone could walk me through clearing up this issue that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
...I am also running Snow Leopard

Okay, its been almost 12 hours since I did the Performance Update and my mid 2009 17" uMBP is running like a champ! I have had this problem ever since I got this computer so I have never seen it run as it should and it is like a completely different computer! It is so much faster and smoother without hesitation, I believe that it even shuts down faster. I have now run Quicktime movies, VLC movies, iTunes music, I have streamed audio off the internet and not one hesitation or beach ball. I have also run Safari, Quicktime and iTunes at the same time and it is all running smoothly without any glitches. I wish Apple had been a little more forthcoming about this issue so we didn't have to sit around wondering what the problem was but thank goodness they did the update. I hope it works for everyone that has had the beach ball, hesitation and freeze issues!

Problem with lag in E71 autofocus

The autofocus doesn't seem to be working properly with my E71. I press T and wait for the frame to turn green but after I click the picture there is a lag of about 6-7 seconds and the picture quality is very poor. If I don't use autofocus there is no problem.
Anyone else have the same problem. I have tried a hard reset but it hasn't made a difference. Is this some software issue that will be fixed with firmware or is it a hardware problem? Thanks for any suggestions.

Same problem here. I tried also with 3rd party camera softwares and it does not improve. Thus, the problem is at least at FW level. I won't think it's an hardware problem because in the video mode, capture is ok.
also even though you don't autofocus, if you move the camera while shooting, it freezes again and takes a picture few seconds later..If you set flash mode always on, the flash light goes off randomly.
Let's hope in a FW update.

Problem with lag/synchronization/skipped frame when capture video

I am trying to capture/record incoming video with audio. I basically clone the incoming datasources and merge them together and save into a file. The file plays fine except there is a synchronization problem between the audio and video. I think the problem is while the audio records fine (lets say 10:00) and video has a few random lags along the way thus decreasing the video time to (9:40) thus combining them will result in 20 seconds of extra audio and no video.... is there a way to fix this or i am capturing the video incorrectly? please help

You,re nerver tell me if your are a MAC or PC user,
I am only on a PC. Probably, the majority here are also PC, though there are more Mac-users every day, and there are also quite a few here, who work on both platforms. Because I am on a PC and you are on a Mac, many of my normal suggestions would not apply, so I did not make them.
I notice in the forum, there is no tech, just stuppid people
I think that the only stupidity was in my first reply, as I did not read your OP correctly, or comprehend it fully. Harm Millaard, anything BUT a stupid person, corrected me quickly, and I apologized for my errors. "Stuff" happens. I will be stupid again, I assure you. Now, if we omit my error, early on, you have received anything but stupid tips, suggestions and help. The vast majority of the subscribers here, regardless of their native platform, offer great insight and aid to users. They love doing that, or they'd not be here. It's all about trying to help. Now, not everything that they offer will apply, or be helpful. That happens often, when one is trying to remotely troubleshoot a problem. None of us is sitting at your machine. This is not done in real time, but over time. Sometimes a question gets asked twice, because a responder did not catch that it had already been asked, or maybe did not understand the answer.
firsst i'm a MAc, and FINAL CUT PRO and I am very very happy, is a best and usefull software, I work with Radio Canada, TVA, Big TV communication, so I do not have time to waste with that.....
That is probably the best course of action. I think that you will be far happier with FCP, than you ever will with PrPro. Stick with that plan.
Sorry that your experience here was such a bad one. Just remember that it was not because the subscribers were not trying to help you.
Good luck,

Problems with lagging levels

when I solo a track in my arrangement, whydo the levels in my mixer start lagging?

So the problem is that the meter is not falling fast enough? And it "dances" normally once it is not soloed anymore?
I have not seen this kind of behaviour myself, and it makes no sense either, as soloing a track does not alter CPU load (all the muted tracks are still playing, only silently - so that they sound immediately when you unsolo), but, if the sound does not suffer, well, then I suppose you can learn to live with it, even though it can be frustrating not knowing why things behave as they do.

Has anyone solved the problem with " lagging " response when opening nay app ?

since " upgrading " ( if you can call it that ! ) to IOS7 on iPhone 4, everyone is complaining about the delay when opening any App. At the Genius bar at Apple store they referred to this as " lagging ". After a quick diagnostic of my phone, they suggested a full Restore. Big waste of my time and data. No change whatsoever. I had to go through the full process of syncronizing music and photos and resetting everything.
I also talked about the new Calendar and especially the Reminders. The new Reminders App is quite simply horrible and no longer attractive and consequently a useless Icon. Even the calendar is labor intensive. I tried to register a future doctor's appointment and the receptionist finally said " Why dont I just call you a day befpre ? ". How Apple managed to make something so simple so complicated is beyond me. The rotary calendar anc clock is a joke.
It bears repeating, Apple makes too many unnecessary design changes, I dont want to have to invest all this time going to work shops to figure out what they have done with basic apps, especially if its to find out what I already figured out.
I would however like to know what Apple intends to do about the lagging. I have another 18 months on the iPhone 4.

No. It was designed to work that way.

Does anyone a problem with lagging mission control?

Mission control (expose) on my MBP (8GB RAM) is lagging. Animations of transition between desktop and mission control mode is't continous. First I see animation of desktop (resizing and going to mission control view ), after that windows of appliactions are rearranged (resized and set to mission control view) without animation. Animation from Mission control mode to desktop lagging too
After instalation everything works fine. I noticed this error yesterday.

I'm having this exact issue. Late 2007 Santa Rosa MacBook Pro.
I made a video to show what's going on (the recording slightly exagerates how bad it truly is):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYxcmsvMKlY
The video was made on a 10.6 to 10.7 upgrade install.
I went in and did a complete wipe + install from a USB drive, and the issue was fixed for about a week before it came back. Is there possibly a .plist file or something we can try deleting to narrow down the issue?

Can't figure out problem with new PC

Hi all, I just built my first PC and everything's running pretty well with the exception of some lag and freezing. My mouse and keyboard sometimes lag behind my true movement. The mouse does this more often and will lag behind for a second before it catches up to my true movement. Also, the system has occasionally frozen with the image still on the screen (no blue screens). Finally, when trying to play music, the audio will skip out every 10 or 12 seconds. Otherwise, the system is working fine... I've been burning DVDs with it and programs run fine on it.
I'm thinking that it has something to do with the RAM. Here is what I've done so far: I have all the newest drivers from MSI and Sapphire. I've tried running the system with each of the 512MB modules by themselves. I've also tried putting them in different DIMM slots. Any features in the BIOS that may slow the system have been disabled. The system runs right around 37C for CPU and 42C for the system, so overheating is not an issue. The RAM isn't getting too hot because the system is slow right from a cold boot. I've done memtest and it has showed the RAM to be good. I also ran CPU-Z and the memory specs are below. Does anyone have suggestions as to the cause of these problems and how to fix them? Thanks in advance for the help!

I now have all my programs loaded back on and all the drivers loaded and still have no problems with lagging or audio skipping. I did not install any of the Promise drivers this time. All I installed was the via driver necessary for installing windows xp at the "F6" menu. I also did not install all of the MSI utilities, etc. this time. SO all I can think of is that the problem lied in the promise drivers or some of the MSI utilities. The PS is running all of my drives fine as of right now. Regardless, I'm up and running good, so I'm happy. I hope this helps someone else.
Also... has anyone had problems with the Realtek ethernet adapter? My comp. gives me a "network location no longer available" error every time I try to copy files over the network from my other computer. I haven't seen anyone else with this error or found how to fix it. I have file sharing enabled, the windows firewall is not on, TCP/IP is installed along with client for Microsoft networks. They're all in the same workgroup also. I can connect to the Internet and the connection seems to be set up properly. I think that covers everything I've checked...

I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
To close apps: Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
To solve internet problem, contact your provider. Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies. Your router may be old and slow.

Brush pressure and lag problem with CS4

I've been having a huge problem with Photoshop CS4 and the brushes. Whenever I go to brush, the pressure will turn off and on randomly with each stroke, and it lags horribly. I've installed CS4 on two computers with Windows 7, and both have this problem, but my old computer which had Vista was perfectly fine. I've tried downloading new versions of CS4, turning the OpenGL on and off, updating the GPU, downloading the Windows 7 tablet driver (that made it worst), and a bunch of other things. Nothing has worked, and this problem has been going on for two months. I'm starting to think the only way to fix this problem is by switching back to Vista. Can anyone please help me solve this? Thank you.
My computer is an HP that runs on Windows 7, my Tablet is a Wacom Intuos3, and I have Photoshop CS4 Extended 11.0.2

Others have reported that completely removing the tablet driver(s) first, then installing the very latest from the Wacom web site have made things work.
Good luck.

Having lagging problems with YouTube videos, it simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again.

I have been having lagging problems with YouTube videos for a number of months now. It simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again. Even with little 2 and 3 minute videos.
I have a fast computer and my webpages load really, really fast. I have FireFox 4 browser and a Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. So I don't have a slow computer or web browser. But these slow YouTube vids take way too long to load for some reason.
Does anyone have any idea how I can speed up YouTube?

Hi
The forums are customer to customer in the first instance, Only the mods (BT) will ask for personal information through a email link. Would you mind posting your Hub stats & BT speed test results this will help all with diagnosis-
To post the full stats from your router
for home hub - 192.168.1.254
Navigate to ADSL Settings or use the A-Z at the top right
Click on More Details and then post the results.
Run BT speed tester and post the results from http://speedtester.bt.com/
If possible it would be best to connect to the BT master socket this will rule out any telephone/broadband extension wiring also consider the housing of the hub/router as anything electrical can cause problems as these are your responsibility, if these are found to be the case Openreach (engineer) will charge BT Broadband, which will be passed onto you, around £130.00.
Noisy line! When making telephone calls, if so this is not good for your broadband, you can check-
Quite line test dial 17070 option 2 and listen - should hear nothing best done with old type analogue phone digital (dect) will do but may have slight hiss If you hear noise- crackling pops etc, report it as a noisy line on your phone, don’t mention broadband, Bt Faults on 151.
As for your FTTC its available in some areas between 40% & 80% of customers in enabled areas can receive it!

Problem with playing HD videos

Hello,
My problem is with playing HD videos ( 720p or Full HD).
After upgrading Windows on my laptop and installing drivers, everything was fine till i tried to solve the win 8.1 problem with display drivers and inability to change the level of brightness. After that I discovered that the laptop can't play videos in higher res when they are offline (they become choppy and start to lag behind audio), so i figured the problem is in codecs or the player because any video was playing online. I have tried different codec packs like K lite or FFdshow, tried many players also like VLC, Sm, BS, WM Classic...nothing helped. So i deleted all those players and codecs so now i cant play HD videos online either.
Also i have noticed that when i start any hd video CPU usage goes up to 95%.
Any suggestions what should i do next ?

Hi there @milosevarsen
I understand that you are having performance issues when watching videos. I am happy to help. Since your CPU usage is climbing to 95%, that is a part or symptom of the problem.
Work through this page. The main thing is to make sure you control what is running on your system and the amount of available memory. So you will want to look for viruses and malware, and then what other applications are loaded on your system. Over time these tend to accumulate, and slow down your computer.
Resolving Slow System Performance (Windows 8)
The other option would be to look at possibly upgrading your memory. When a file is much larger than the available memory, you are going to see the CPU running harder.
I hope this helps.

The problems with Logic (as I see them)

Hello Everyone,
Please keep in mind that I am writing this with the intention of expressing my frustrations, and what I feel would make Logic a better program. I realize not everyone will agree with the importance of what I say, but I am a firm believer of HAVING THE OPTIONS. Let the users choose what works for them and how they can best accomplish the tasks that they need to with their individual workflow.
That being said, here is my list of Logic's faults and why I often call Logic "Illogic".
General:
* Logic should have a feature to automatically save your song every X number of minutes. Final Cut Pro does this, why doesn't Logic? It should prompt you "Logic can automatically save your project if you save it" (assuming the current file is 'autoload') to remind users that they should create a project name and save their work.
* There should be a preference option for all windows to open as 'float'. Once upon a time holding option while double clicking parts would open them as a float (though having to hold down option every time in my opinion is an inconvenience, because I personally ALWAYS want my windows open as a float), however.. now in 7.2 that does not seem to work anymore. So, theoretically after you set your prefence to 'always float', then the when you hold option or control and click on a particular window, it will bring that window to the foreground...
* The loop region at the top of the screen is larger than the time-line ruler tab. This is the #1 annoying thing about logic. so many times, I click on an area of the ruler tab to start playing at a specific section.. and somehow I ACCIDENTALLY click on the loop area... If I could ask for ANYTHING it would be that there is an option to disable LOOPING turning on and off from clicking up there. My 2nd request would be that the ruler tab be re-sizeable so that it can be larger than the loop area. This is especially the case for the matrix window where it default opens up to a sizing where the actual time line is so tiny, and the loop region is HUGE.... Every time I open a matrix window I have to resize this and again the loop area is 2x as big as the timeline area, so I end up wasting screen space just to avoid the annoying loop feature being trued on. My suggestion is, require that the loop button on the transport be the only way to turn on the loop feature (other than key commands), and only when it's turned on can loop points to be set. Why is the loop area so big anyway?!?!
* Logic should offer a TALK BACK MIC button which will utilize the built-in apple microphone or iSight microphone and allow that to be sent to the audio interface. This would be an extremely useful feature for studio recording setups.
* Starting logic takes approximately 5 minutes for me. It says "scanning exs24 instruments" for the majority of the time, and I admit my sample library is huge. however, my sample library has not changed in over a year. Why does logic have to continuously scan it??? Can it not make a reference of how many files, compare and if its larger-- then scan???
Song Loading:
* When audio files are not found during loading a song, it asks you the first time what you want to do "search", "manual", and "skip"... if you click "skip", and then it finds another missing file, it no longer presents you with the "SKIP" option.. but forces you to either search or skip all.. Let's say you have a project that used 5 audio files that are all missing because you had them on a different hard drive, but have copied the data somewhere else. The first two files it asks for you don't need.. but you know where the 3rd file is.. So your plan is to skip the first two files and then click manually for the 3rd.. but oh.. YOU CAN'T DO THAT! You have to find your first 2 files if you want to even have the option to locate your 3rd file... Unless you are planning to locate the files within the audio window-- but still, Logic should not be so unfriendly.
Further, If you choose "manual", and what you're looking for isn't where you thought it was-- You realize you actually want to search for it.. So you click cancel and guess what.. It assumes you want to skip it, and so you either have to reload your project again, or deal with this in the audio window. Bottom line is this window should always have "Search", "Manual", "Skip", and "Skip All".
* When you open another project, Logic DUMPS all of the audio instrument data in memory. This is one of the worst things about logic. If you are working between multiple files-- such as when scoring a film, and you are using different files for different cues, then this becomes a complete nightmare and a waste of your time. Logic should be assessing "What instruments are in common between these two projects"... And utilizing all audio instruments to the best of the machine's memory capacity. There is no reason for Logic to behave like this.. I've had to revert back to previous versions of the same song because some data was different, and I am just trying to visually compare various settings one from the other.. Just clicking from one project's window to the other requires me to have to wait 3-4 minutes while Logic loads all these audio instruments (WHICH ARE IDENTICAL IN BOTH PROJECTS BY THE WAY!!!).. This is just incredibly dumb, and creatively stifling.
* BUG * -- Mind you, if you have two projects open, and you close one.. Logic begins loading all the audio instruments of the remaining project.. If you close that project as it's loading audio instruments, Logic will crash.
Matrix Stuff:
* BUG * If you have a part with lots of notes, and you begin to make a selection and scroll horizontally through all the content until then entire part is covered in the selection... After you release the mouse button and make this selection, quite often many random notes are unselected. This can be demonstrated by watching the following quicktime move:
http://www.collinatorstudios.com/video/logicbug.mov
* When you select a single note in the matrix window, it sounds.. This is a GREAT feature... However, when you make a selection of multiple of notes, they all sound at the same time.. This is just plain dumb. It once blew up my speakers... There is NO reason why a multiple selection would need to sound.. It's just dumb.. bad for your speakers, bad for your ears. The rule should be, if selection box = yes, then sound = no... else, sound = yes.
* When viewing the matrix window while recording, all note events disappear until after recording stops. This is highly annoying (and illogical) as it causes confusion if you are relying on watching the note events in that part to know where you are supposed to come in.
* The grid cannot be set to divisions other than 2 or 3. Musicians use 5 and 7!!! And also, can logic please offer an option to display the grid as NOTE symbols... It is much more musician friendly to see a 16th note with a 3 over it than "24". 24 means nothing to me as a musician.
* Quantizing should allow custom input for tuplets.. So that users can quantize odd figures such as 13:4 for example.
* If you move the song locator to a specific time location in the arrange window, and then double click a part to open it in the matrix window, the window is not opened to the locator's position. Thus causing annoyance and confusion as far as what the user is even looking at.
* During horizontal scrolling of the window, the locator temporarily disappears, making it difficult to find where the locator is-- which usually is a marker for us to know what we are trying to find-- ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU OPEN A WINDOW AND IT'S NOT EVEN DISPLAYING THE SONG LOCATOR'S POSITION!!!
* If you have two parts on the same arrange track, adjacent to each other and you enter the matrix window of the first part.. (assuming the link/chain icon is lit) When you scroll to the end of the note data, logic automatically takes you to the next part... The problem with this as it is, is that it does not take you to the FIRST note event of the text part, but rather continues to align the song locater with where ever it previously was (so you end up viewing somewhere further down in the next part).. To clarify, say you have a part what begins at MM-7 and ends at MM-14, the 2nd part begins at MM-15 and ends at MM-22.. If you begin scrolling the song locator past measure 15, then suddenly you see measure 22. When you really should be seeing measure 15. This is confusing and weird.
* Every time you enter the matrix window of a part, the chain/link button is on. For me, this is incredibly annoying. There should be a way to set this so that the button's default is OFF...
* When you move the mouse around the matrix window, whatever pitch corresponds to the vertical location of the mouse--- that particular key of the piano keyboard on the left side of the window should highlight so you could clearly see what note you are hovering over.. Logic tries to help with this by offering things like contrast options for C D E, but this clearly would be much more helpful.
* With the velocity tool you can (MOST OFTEN ON ACCIDENT) double click on empty space in the window and cause all note events in all parts to appear on the screen-- Yet once you do this, you can't double click on a particular part's note to only display that part again. You have to switch to the arrow tool to do this. This is inconsistent and ILLOGICAL...
ON A SIDE NOTE: PLEASE ENABLE A FUNCTION TO DISABLE THIS "ALL NOTES OF ALL PARTS APPEAR" when double clicking on empty space feature! I want NOTHING to happen when I double click within the matrix window... Make it a button within the window or just an option in the drop down menu only. * BY THE WAY * When you DO double click the background of the matrix window and multiple parts appear.. If you move notes of one part to match it up with other, it is incredibly slow. there is a 1-2 second pause each time you move a note move.. My g5 fan goes on each time I do this.. I'm sorry, there shouldn't be anything too CPU intensive to accomplish this simple task!!! I am only viewing 2 parts at the same time and it's slowing down my cpu...
* Occasionally when I adjust note lengths, I accidentally double click on an actual note.. This opens the event list editor, and there is an intermittent bug where this note sounds-- and for some reason when the event list opens, the note sounds on top of itself a million times, so the result is a super loud flanged note which again, almost blows up my speakers and hurts my ears... PERSONALLY, I would like an option that DISABLES the note event list from opening by double clicking. Preferences currently has "double clicking a midi region opens: <selectable>"--- why not also have "double clicking a NOTE in matrix window does: <selectable>"-- and please allow "DO NOTHING" to be one of the options.
* Why does the finger tool only change the end position of the note event??? Should this not be replaced with the bracket tool which appears automatically when using the arrow tool on closely zoomed in notes? This finger tool seems like an outdated old logic feature which has been replaced and improved upon. What would be nice is to have this bracket tool where we can be assured we are altering note start and end positions without moving things.
* In the hyper-draw >> note velocity section--- This is highly annoying to work with... It's far from user friendly. first of all, to move a note's velocity position, you have to click on the "ball".. if you click on the line, it does nothing.. Because the ball is so small to begin with, quite often the user is going to miss the ball and somehow begin to "START LINE"-- Which is weird because it's activated by holding the mouse button down briefly. There really should be a "line tool" for this, because "START LINE" is too easily accidentally activated-- this is frustrating for the user. Most important though, these 'velocity markings' should be adjustable by clicking on the line as well-- not just the ball.. there should be a 2-3% area around each ball/line which logic will recognize as part of the ball/line so that it can easily be moved. I also feel that there should be some specific features for this section, such as a way to select multiple note velocities and apply a random pattern to them, or apply a logarithmic curve to the line tool. Yes, you can accomplish this stuff somewhat with the transform tool-- but this way would be more user friendly, and allow a lot more creative flow.
Event list/Tempo list:
* When one event is selected, by moving down X number, holding shift+clicking SHOULD select all events between those two points. However, the shift key for some reason acts as the OPTION key does in the finder-- (meaning it will only add one additional selection at a time).. This is highly inconsistent with the actual behavior of a Mac... Open a finder window and hold shift and click on items that are not vertically next to each other and a group is selected... Now do it in logic, and it causes GREAT frustration and annoyance. What happens if you have a million note events that you want to erase? You have to go page by page and click with shift on each one?? Or drag a selection and wait for logic to scroll you to where you want to go?????????? No thanks.
Arrange stuff:
* "REGIONAL CONTENT" (meaning the visual representation of note events) does not accurately depict the event data as note lengths cannot be visually identified. Everything shows up as a generic quarter note... My #1 suggestion is that regional content should be customizable so that you can view it in a miniature matrix data style. The biggest problem for me is that I cannot see where my notes end-- I can only see where they start, this makes it very difficult to identify what I am looking at.
* Track automation data should only be inputable by the pencil tool. I cannot mention how many times automation data has accidentally altered when using the arrow tool. The pencil tool should allow you to raise and lower the lines reflecting automation data... What is the point using the pencil tool for automation if it's only function is to create "points" yet you can also create points with the arrow tool..??? Pencil tool should act as the arrow tool does in the sense that it raises or lowers automation data.
* Recording preferences do not offer the option to automatically merge new part with existing part when a region is NOT selected. How annoying is it to have to select a part every time you want to record something just so it will be included in that original part!
* Ruler at the top of the screen should also give an option for tuplets. 5, 7, etc.
* When in record mode, if you click on the ruler to another time position, all audio instruments cut out and it takes approximately 3-4 seconds before tracks begin playing audio. This becomes very annoying if you are trying to do a pick up and want to just start 1 measure before hand.
* There should be a way to EASILY (without having to cable two tracks together in the environment) temporarily link multiple tracks together so that automation data will be duplicated. So theoretically you can link 3-4 tracks together, and by adding automation data to one, you are adding it to all 4.
* If a part is soloed, and you hit record. The part stops being soloed and you can no longer hear it. This makes it impossible to record a pick up on a soloed track unless it's locked, but it shouldn't need to be locked.
* When you are zoomed in tightly, and you are trying to align notes within two parts on different tracks (meaning using the PSEUDO NOTATION DATA that appears in the part to align), there needs to be a VERTICAL line that snaps to the note closest to the mouse cursor. When trying to do this in parts that are a far vertical distance apart, it becomes VERY difficult to eye this alignment. Logic does this with automation data.. but for some reason they left it out for actual part alignment...
* There should be a way to force the downbeat of a measure to occur at any given moment... What I mean by this, is composing for film is an absolute PAIN in Logic. Scenes, last for odd amounts of time, and Logic's reference manual claims that you can solve this by using various tempo tricks, however it is ineffective for the most part. What Logic needs is the ability where you can click on a drop down menu item within the arrange window and FORCE that where ever the song locator is, the rest of the measure is eliminated and a new measure downbeat occurs right there. This will allow you to always have new scenes on the downbeat of a measure without having to mess with your tempo and meter.
Hyper Edit Window:
* I can't even begin to comment on this... The hyper edit window is one of the worst things I have ever seen in a music/audio program. It is a horrible interface, you can't get it to do anything correctly without messing everything up. This thing needs a complete overhaul... I mean, just try to create a simple crescendo with note velocity and it will take you all night.. Try to add pitch bend data, and it adds note velocity data as well.. It's a total nightmare, and I would love to hear someone's practical application of this window.
Score Window:
* The method that the song position locator moves along with the notation is very strange. It is not at all how a person's eyes function when reading music. A much more logical approach to this would be for a transparent colored block of some type to highlight an entire measure, and each note head will glow as it sounds. The current way is so strange, it speeds up and slows down-- makes absolutely no sense, and it is more disruptive than anything.
* When the Hyper Draw > note velocity area is exposed, if you use the velocity tool to increase/decrease a particular note's volume, the data in the hyper draw window does not update in real-time as you use the velocity tool. This behavior is inconsistent with the matrix > hyper draw's note velocity section-- where as in that area, the velocity ball/lines do update in realtime.
EXS24:
* when you are in many levels of subdirectories and you are auditioning instruments, it becomes very time consuming and annoying to have to continually trace through all the subdirectory paths. There should be a feature directly under the load instrument window that takes you to the subdirectory of the current instrument.
* Seems when SONG SETTING > MIDI > "chase" is turned on... When starting sequences using audio instruments, (I am using a harp sample within the exs24), there is a latency hiccup upon starting, which is very disruptive when trying to listen to a short isolated moment in a composition. And I do want to chase note events in general-- but this present situation makes it difficult for me to work. I would suggest that you can specify tracks to exclude chasing.. Or fix the latency hiccup issue.
Thank you.

this is excellent patrick. can you number your points so that the thread can be discussed?
1. yes
2. ok
3. great idea
4. even better idea. you could set something up with aggreagate device i suppose but it would be better to have the feature to hand.
5. you need to look into your project manager prefs. scan the paths and the links to the audio files will be saved meaning they will load up in a fraction of the time.
6. yes this is nuts. you can skip all and sort it out with PM but then you shouldn't have to.
7. this exists already. perhaps it ought to be a default but you need to set your esx prefs to 'keep common samples in memeory when switching songs'. then it will do just as you wish it to. you can also use the au lab in the devlopers kit which will allow you to load in au units etc seperately from logic, which logic can then access. this is a good way of getting around the 4 GB memory limit with logic too.
8. ok, don't know about this bug.
9. yep happens here too.
10. doesn't worry me this one. you can turn off midi out.
11. yes this is silly.
12. well, i think this is something we can get used to. i am a musician and i am used to seeing '24'.
13. you can already set up groove templates to allow for quantizing irrational tuplets. i do it all the time. i would like to see step input for irrational tuplets though.
14. yes this is silly. the button for the KC 'content catch' is getting very worn out.
15. ok.
16. not sure i understand this one.
17. yes this drives me nuts too. i have to lock screensets to get this to stay off.
18. you can use KCs for 'go into/out of sequence' - but yeah.
19. ok
20. there are a couple of features that use old technology that cause hangs and poor performance. score is a good example of that. maybe the matrix is too. the score is being updated we assume with newer technology maybe the matrix will too.
21. there are probably better ways of adjusting velocity than using matrix or hperdraw velocity. have you tried holding control-option and click dragging a note in score?
22. as i pointed out in 20, this is an old feature. you could change things to be consistent with modern macs and annoy long term users such as myself, or leave them and let them be inconsistent to confuse newbies. i think depending on what it is we oldies could upgrade our work habits.
23. this one doesn't worry me so much.
24. good point (no pun intended).
25. well, i find the opposite - that merging new parts to objects i have accidentally selected to be annoying. perhaps more detailed prefs?
26. yep.
27. this will be down to your audio settings. you can improve this lag but it will be dependant on the capabilities of your system.
28. i don't know why this feature doesn't work in logic. it is supposed to have ti already and i just don't understand why it doesn't. maybe it will be fixed in the next upgrade.
29. agreed.
30. ok - i have other work flows for this but it would be nice.
31. i don't agree that logic is a pain to score with to film, i do it nearly everyday. but you are discribing an interesting feature which might be worth discussing more. i think you might find yourself getting alarming and unmiscal results doing this that will end up having to be sorted out the conventional way. but its a good idea.
32. oh yes.
33. yeah - this could be improved.
34. ok, well i wouldn't go about it this way, but yeah there is generally sticky spots with regards to updating of information al around logic.
25. very very good idea.
26. there are lots of problems with the chase function. very annoying. i certainly agree with this.
in general, some of these could well be done as their own threads. some of the missing functionality may exist. if you can confirm a bug then you are on stronger ground when you submit feedback. but this list is full of fantastic ideas.

Problem with NEO2 and sata controller card

1.Product Type: MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (MS-7025)
and the controller card is a InnoVision DM-8301 and the hard drive is a Seagate ST3320620AS
2.BIOS version: The newest one, 1C0 or something.
3.External VGA Type: Geforce 6800 GT
4.CPU Type: AMD 64 3500+
5.Memory Type: G Skill ZX 2048mb.
6.Power Supply Type:
7.Operating System: Xp Pro
8.Problem Description:
Hello. I have a strange problem with my controllercard. I wrote this text to InnoVision suport and they send me files and bios updates for a whole week and it was still the same problem. And then i tried the card in an older computer and everything worked fine.
I wrote
"Hello. I got some problems with my new controller card. I can find my new harddrive ,that's conected to the controller card, when iam inside windows and it's seems to be no problem. I can look on every seting on it and everywhere i look i can read "No problem". I Also did some test with the seatools programe and everything was fine. But when i schould copy files to it the coumputer start lagging after a few seconds and i cant do anything. After a while i can move the mouse around but the it laggs again. My computer is overclocked at the time but i have tried to use the harddrive when it's not clocked also. Also when im goin in to teh controlpanel and starts the setings for Sillicon Images sata controll and have music on my computer, the music laggs for a very very short moment. Something must be wrong and i can not find it."
It's still the same problem in my computer. The older computer had a MSI moderboard with a VIA chip and i have a nForce 3. InnoVison said i should talk to you about this problem. I have 3 harddrives but i use this controllercard because i want to have my computer overclocked and then i can't use 2 of the sata ports as i think you know.
I would be very thankful if you could help me with this problem.

I've used a noname SATA pci card (non raid) with SIL3112 on my neo2 without problems with 1C bios.
Think you may try with a disk lower than 48bitLBA need (137GB barrier), eg a 120GB disk
Quote:
have the InnoVision EIO DM-8301 and had alot of problems using it with WD 160MB SATA drive.
I am using Intel 865 based MB with 2 original SATA channels. The original SATA channels are bootable.
I could not used the EIO card with 160G HDD. The whole setup is working only after I connected oine of my 120G Segate SATA HDD to the EIO Sata card.
I think this card do not properly support HDD above 120G.

Btw: you have xp sp2 ?
48bitLBA is not enabled in the first version.

Edit:
Here's another with complete different setup and same problems
http://forum.tweakxp.com/forum/Topic212148-4-1.aspx
I doubt it has anything to do with your motherboard and/or bios.
Btw: I looked at innovision and their drivers in download area are very old.
Get the latest SIL3112 drivers for XP here:
http://www.siliconimage.com/support/supportsearchresults.aspx?pid=63&cid=3&ctid=2&osid=4&
And remember 3112 is sata150 only , so it's not sure it will work with your drive at all .
Anyway it should be set to fixed sata1.5G with jumper - not certain the controller can autonegotiate
without trouble. You cannot have command queing enabled either , disk support only NCQ and controller TCQ
so having command queing set ON will cause major conflicts in data transfers.

Problems with lagging?
