Project/song creation and files

Hi,
A very basic question...
I'm a little confused as to the difference between projects and songs? Are Projects like Albums and songs like songs within that album? and if so how do you save songs within projects?
Any help in laymans terms appreciated
Cheers
Andy

Think about the words from the perspective of creating. That is what we do with these creativity programs.
A project is the process of making a song.
A project could be building a house.
A project is the steps to for making a movie.
So, in Logic where the goal is to make music, the project is the element that holds all the individual bits and pieces of the musical puzzle. It's the box that all the puzzle pieces are in, so to speak.
Once you put the puzzle together, glue in onto a matte board, frame it and hang it on the wall, you got yourself a song.
Project: the comprehensive bits you use to create.
Song: what is created.
Now...really...I don't want to be rude here, but I have to point out that if you're having a hard time grasping this concept you may be in over your head when it comes to productively using Logic. Maybe not! But I have to wonder. I used to be confounded by the process too.
Have you tried GarageBand before you started using a complex program like Logic? Are you using Logic?
In any event, good luck! I remember that the nomenclature of the whole music thing made my head spin during the first few months I tried to jump into it. My advice is to start simple simple simple, and learn as you go. get more complex as you feel more comfortable.
Work with the basic tools before you start diggin into something as deep as Logic.

  • PS2010: Resource synchronization fails in project site creation and when changes users at the Security Groups.

    I am not using AD syncronization for resource pool and security groups in Project Server 2010.
    When I publish a new Project or try to create a Project web site manually it creates the Project site, but fails to synch the resources.
    If I add or change one or more resources at the Project Managers security group at PWA it also fails to synchronize the root site and existing Project web sites.
    I looked at the ULS log and appears the the following error:

    My Project site template is exactly the same than original Project Server site template (for test purpose) but created as Project site and then saved as template with another name.
    In both cases there are a reference to "ReportServer", but I do not have either a Report Server installed in the farm or the Reporting Services Service Application.
    Any ideas how can I correct this issue?
    Best regards, Ricardo Segawa - Segawas Projetos / Microsoft Partner

    Hi Segawa,
    In the above thread you are saying that there are reference to "Report Server". Save the template to local file system and extract the template. Now check the onet.xml under "Webtemplates" folder. Do you see the references of report server there.
    If that is the case, my suggestion would be to recreate the template without the reference for report server and then test the behavior.
    Also, you can even remove the reference in the onet.xml and use some compressing tools to rebuild the wsp file and then use that as template.
    Happy troubleshooting...

  • Newbie Question On Library Creation and File Duplication

    I'm new to iTune's hard drive file organizing structure, so bare with me.
    I have a single directory on Hard Drive 2 (HD2) called "Music". When I create a music library in iTunes from that music directory source, iTunes appears to create its own new directory in "Macintosh HD/Users/iTunes/Music" (HD1) and thus I now have duplicate directories of music on two different hard drives, HD1 and HD2. Add Time Machine to this mix (which backs up both drives) and I now have four directories with duplicate music. Nice.
    Okay. So, assuming this is the case (and please correct me if I am wrong), then my question is, once I create a Library via iTunes program, can I now delete my original HD2/Music directory of files since iTunes is referencing its newly created directory in HD1? Or, is there some sort of association still going on and I must live with the duplicate directories and subsequent quadrupled directories? (Which I know I can selectively exclude some stuff from Time Machine, but it is easier to back up everything.)
    Thank you in advance for your input and advise.

    Yes once music has been added to iTunes you can remove it from its original location with way you have iTunes set up at the moment.
    On the other hand you could change the iTunes preferences so that it does not copy files into the iTunes library, instead it leaves the files were there where and points to them.

  • File-to-file or File-to-RFC for Automatic PO creation and GR creation

    Hi,
    We are on XI 3.0 and the following has been put to me:
    We will receive a .CSV file from FTP server, into XI and then need to create Purchase Orders followed by the Goods Receipt documents in R/3 based on the incoming data.
    Further to this, the requirement is to give a log of the successfule and failed PO + GR document summary to the business.
    The programme in R/3 will compare the incoming file nmame with archived files already processed and will reject any files with duplicate names.
    I was suggesting to go with the file to RFC in R/3 whereby we can have a Z shell BAPI to include the standard BAPI for PO creation and GR creation. This Z code can then be extended to email the log to the business of which records were successfully created and which failed.
    However, I am stumped as to how can I make the file duplication comparison on R/3 as the incoming file will also be stored on R/3 archive somewhere.
    Can this be made when the BAPI is called in XI?
    I can configure alerts when the BAPI is mapped from incoming file for that interface.
    What was suggested also was to pick up the CSV file and thow it as it is in R/3 and then the Z code can go through it and create the PO and GR objects. However, then it does not make much sense to use XI as the middleware platform.
    Please advice.

    Arcahna

    Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?

  • I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files)

    I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files

    You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because  iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
    If you use an external drive, a change in drive letter is a common cause and you need to change it back.
    AS a way of working out what has happened, right click on a track and select the summary tab (you will have to go past an error message). The summary tab will tell you where iTunes thinks the track is located. How does that compare with where the track actually is?
    The xml library file is not used by iTunes, it is created to allow other programs to access the library. You can recreate the iTl file from the xml file, but there is no point if the location of the files is wrong.
    There is a simple way of getting you music back in iTunes, but it loses all playlists counts and rating. To do this drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Library.xml to your desktop. Then open iTunes and an empty library is created. Add you iTunes Media folder to it.
    If you can't work out what went wrong and how to fix it, you may have to do this.

    tworules,
    You haven't mentioned the exact version of Photoshop you are running.  As the always helpful and knowledgeable JJMack told you, new versions of Photoshop do have auto save and recovery when enabled in your Photoshop Preferences.
    However, no auto recovery and/or autosave is a match for a defective machine.  As suggested by Mr. Cox, you should do a thorough inspection of all your hardware ASAP.

  • Import-Export of track add some old projects and files.

    We want to copy one NWDI track to new one.
    When we Forward one track to to created new one, and open projects in Development Studio,
    many old projects and files appeared, thatis not visible if to open old track in Studio.
    So question is - how to export one track so it would appear in studio same way, but not "open all old existed" way?
    As well very interested reason why so happens ?
    thanks

    Hi Vladimir,
    I am not sure I fully understand your question, but if you'd like to copy a track to an other one, then I can suggest you to go for replication. This way you can keep the whole version history as well.
    Replicating a Track into a Different DTR Repository (despite the title of this article I was confirmed by the development support that you can also use this procedure to replicate into the same DTR, not only into a different one)

    hey guys, so I have a DVD stuck in the CD drive on my mac. It reads it as being in there, but I cannot eject it and it is causing my a lot of issues with my mac. If i try to eject it, Finder acts up and I have issues saving projects or even browsing files. I feel like it interferes with iPhoto as well because it says it is locked and I have no rights to view it. I wanted to see if anyone else had/s this issue and how you fixed it before lugging it into the apple store and being without a computer for a few weeks...

    A few other suggestions here as well:

  • When I render my project to a NTSC file for Computer play back, the audio is not rendered and the file has no sound. How do I fix it?

    I build my project using videos and photos and I add sound at the end for a few photos. I then render the project to a NTSCDVD Standard file so I can play it on a Computer. Once the file is rendered and I play it, there is no sound at all. I am using Premiere Elements 13, recently installed on 12/29/2015. Previously, I had a trial copy and before I could uninstall it, it disappeared. I don't know if that had any thing to do with my full version.

    richardson
    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? For now I will assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    What are the properties of your source video and photos and what project preset did you (manually) or the project (automatically) set as the project preset
    to match those source properties? In this regard, please tell us the readings that you see under Edit Menu/Project Settings/General
    Editing Mode
    Timebase
    Frame Size
    Pixel Aspect Ratio
    even if the fields look grayed out.
    What is your choice under Publish+Share/Computer/ which is using the NTSC DVD Standard preset? Are you using Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG with the NTSC DVD Standard preset? If so, are you using the default export settings or customizing them in anyway under the Advanced Button/Video Tab or Audio Tab? If you export your Timeline to Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime with a preset = NTSC DV, does your file have sound in the export with your player?
    What are you using as the player for this export?
    Let us start here and then decide what next?
    Thanks.

    Windows Explorer will display tag properties for mp3 & wma files, not aac (m4a) or wav. It is possible for mp3 files to contain multiple tags but only one will be displayed. Try inspecting the problem fils with a third party tag editor to see if you can tell what is going on. For mp3 files, provided all the details that you want the file to have are displayed in iTunes, you can try using the right-click option Convert ID3 Tag > None a few times followed by Convert ID3 Tag > ID3v2.3 which may well help.

  • A fatal error has occurred and the application is being terminated. Adobe Captivate has tried to save all your work in the respective project folders as ".cpbackup" files.   Please restart Adobe Captivate.

    I was trying to capture a simulation when a pop-up window came with this error:
    "A fatal error has occurred and the application is being terminated. Adobe Captivate has tried to save all your work in the respective project folders as ".cpbackup" files.Please restart Adobe Captivate."
    I tried every possible solution but i am getting the same error. Even now, i am not able to open a blank project. I cleared Preferences and Cache, Restarted the system, uninstalled and re-installed captivate but the error occurs.
    Please help.

    Having admin rights is not the same as 'Run Captivate as administrator'. For the last, right-click on the start icon for Captivate and check 'Run as administrator'. Or click on Advanced, where you can check the option to always run as administrator.
    Another possibility could be a corrupt font somewhere. I forgot to ask which version you are using (exact number).

  • What was location of project and files on import?

    I have a four months old PP CS3 project (on Mac - with files from a Sony EX3) that, together with relevant files, has been moved to an archive HD. I now have to work on this again but as each clip is stored in an individual folder I would like to move the project and files back to the position they had on import, rather than having to manually open each folder to relink. The problem is that I don't recall on which HD the original import and editing took place. Is there any way to find this information in the project?

    That depends on how the project was moved.
    If the Project Manager was used then you're out of luck.
    If not then you can open the project file in a text editor and search on the file name until you find text that includes the full path with the filename. Somewhat tedious, but it can be done.
    Cheers
