Question for Logic porfessional

Can someone out there actually explain the relationship that automation data has to the global cut/ insert time features?when or how Is it effected?
why can't I insert globally snipped song sections WITH the automation?
How is automation data affected when global cut/snip commands a=re entered?
There is nothing "global" about this behavior...

I dont use Logic 8 (still on 7) but since no one has come to your rescue yet, I'll give it a shot.
In L7, if you want to make sure your automation moves and adjusts with your global edits, its best to change it from "track based" automation to "region based" automation. To do this in L7, select the region where the automation is located (if there is no region; e.g. automation on an aux, create a region using the pencil tool and expand it to cover all automation) and go OPTIONS menu -> TRACK AUTOMATION -> "Move current track data to region data." Now when you make global changes, the automation should adjust as well. If you want to return the data back to track data (for easier editing, etc) simply select "move current region data to track data" and edit away.
I know for a fact this method works, as this is how I move my automation data into folders, which I can then place wherever I want in a song, or even move to a different song. If you haven't explore folders yet, I HIGHLY recommend you do, as judging from your question would would benefit from this feature.
I dont have Logic 8, so I don't know if these functions are located in the same menus or even named the same, but they should be in there somewhere. BTW, Logic is a region based program, and so it sometimes has trouble with track based information. Not that I'm making excuses for the program, it should just WORK, but when it doesn't, it helps to "think like the program" when trouble shooting.
All the best!

Pro Tools convert to Logic Newbie some simple question for logic users

Hey guys, I am a recent convert from Pro Tools! and There were just some simple questions I thought some of you may be able to help me out with. I am using Logic 9.1.1
1) After I set up a multi timbral software instrument (in this case MOTU Symphonic Library) how do I set up midi channels to trigger the individual sounds in the instrument. (in pro tools I used to create a midi track then send an output of that track to that particular soft synth)
2) How do I set up a and forgive my Pro Tools vocab but basically I want to set up a reverb channel on an aux track have it receive on a bus so I can send other tracks to that particular bus.
Thanks for the insight and really looking forward to finally make use of all this ram! lol

1) I have a nord stage and would like record via midi. In pro tools i would usually need to create a midi track with the output set the the nord and an audo aux track to hear it What would I do in order to record midi from my nord stage?
To record, just select a non-audio track, hit record and play the keyboard. The notes will get recorded into a region.
If you want to play it back to the Nord Stage as well, then it makes sense to set the Nord up as a MIDI device in your templates, so you can just add the Nord to a track and not worry about what MIDI ports it's on etc. Open the environment, create a New -> Instrument, called it "Nord Stage", set the MIDI port and MIDI channels it's on, and sav your template.
Now, when you start a song, to sequence the Nord, you just assign the Nord instrument to a track (by for instance, right clicking on a track and choosing your Nord instrument from the list of environment obects that appears).
2) The multi instrument trick is quick and easy its great but How would I do that manually?
Lots of ways, look into your key commands, ther are all kinds of "Create track with same instrument", "Create track with next MIDI channel" and so on. There are too many ways to do this to quickly talk about here. In short, all tracks have an environment object assigned to them, whether it's an audio object, or a MIDI instrument object, and this determines where the data on the track goes.
3) How do you set up midi so that it doen'ts overwrite notes when recording over them?
Not sure I understand you here...

Re-install questions for Logic Pro 8

I have recently switched from a G5 to the new Mac Pro. I installed the two hard drives from my G5 into slots 2 and 3 on my Mac Pro. Each is 300GB. Slot 1 is the 320GB hard drive that came with the Mac Pro. My plan is to use the main drive (slot 1) for all other applications, do a clean install on my second 300GB drive (slot 2) and update to Mac OS 10.5, then re-install only Logic Studio on this drive. I use my third hard drive (slot 3) to record audio to. I will probably add another hard drive to slot 4 to use either for virtual instruments (Vienna Strings, Wallander), or use it as backup for my system.
I am a long time Logic user (since 1995) and have been continually updating, my last update being to Logic Studio from Logic Pro 7. I want to avoid any unforeseen issues with re-installing from an update, so I would really appreciate any advice on the best procedure to accomplish this re-install. I also am intending on keeping an alias of Logic Pro 8 on the dock of my main drive to open and use Logic from my second drive, and will store all logic song files on the second drive with the application, and continue to record audio to the third drive, as mentioned above. Any helpful wisdom or suggestions for improvement on this configuration would be great too, but I'm mainly asking for help on Logic Studio re-install.

Happy New Mac
My plan is to use the main drive (slot 1) for all other applications, do a clean install on my second 300GB drive (slot 2) and update to Mac OS 10.5, then re-install only Logic Studio on this drive.
That's fine except that most applications (and certainly Logic) have to be installed on the boot drive, and the library or user library +on that drive+ will contain all library files such as application support, preferences etc.
I use my third hard drive (slot 3) to record audio to
That's where old and new Logic projects should live.
I will probably add another hard drive to slot 4 to use either for virtual instruments
Good idea.
or use it as backup for my system.
I'd suggest an external drive for backups, with a basic system on it in a separate partition, solely used for emergencies. Most of the time it should be 'off' except when actually backing up.
and will store all logic song files on the second drive with the application
Shouldn't they be on your 3rd. drive? All projects, old and new, should live on that, I think.
Also, be aware that if you plan to install Logic 7 (for old projects) re-install this first, before you install Logic 8. You can't do this in the wrong order. This will be on the same boot drive and Logic 8 (and your system).

Keyboard Question for Logic 8 Pro

I don't have an external keyboard(piano) yet, and I have Logic 8 Pro. I dont want to use the loops available, and want to make my own. Is there a way I can pull up a keyboard in logic and create my own beats similar to having one on your lap? also changing the sounds Via drumbs, synth? I love dubstep and want to try and make my own, if you have any tips for that aswell. Thanks for your time
Bigs

Caps - ahhhhh
Thanks buddy! For some reason I only have the garageband instruments available.
I'm also learning Virtual DJ which is alot easier for me then this, check my mix out its not that bad, sure theres some ruff parts but, let me know what you think! Criticism is always accepted

Questions on Logical corruption

Hello all,
My DB version is 10g+ - 11.2.0.3 on various different OS. We are in process of deploying RMAN on our system and i am having a hard time on testing/get a grip around the whole logical corruption... from what i understand(please correct me if i am wrong)
1. I can have a check logical syntax in my backup cmd(and that will check both physical and logical corruption)...But how much overhead dose it have, Seems to be anywhere from 14-20% overhead on backup time.
2. Leaving the maxCorrupt to default(which i beleive is 0)...if there is a physical corruption my backup will break and i should get an email/alert saying backup broke...
3. Would this be same for logical corruption too ??, would RMAN report logical corrution right away like physical corruption would do? Or do i have to query v$database_block_corruption after backup is done to figure out if i have logical corruption
4. how would one test logical corruption ?? (besides the NO_LOGGING operation, as our DB have force logging turned on)
5. Is it a good practice to have check logical corruption in your daily backup? ( i guess i have no problems for it if DB are small, but some of our DB are close to 50TB+ and i think the check logical is going to increase the backup time significantly)
6. If RMAN cannot repair logical corruption, then why would i want to do the check logical (besides knowing i have a problem and the end user have to fix it by reload the data...assuming its a table not index that is corrupt)..
7. any best practices when it comes for checking logical corruption for DB in 50+ TB
I have actually searched on here and on google, but i could not find any way to reproducing logical corrpution(maybe there is none), but i wanted to ask the community about it....
Thank you in advance for your time.

General info:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/focus-areas/availability/maa-datacorruption-bestpractices-396464.pdf
You might want to google "fractured block" for information about it without RMAN. You can simulate that by writing a C program to flip some bits, although technically that would be physical corruption. Also see Dealing with Oracle Database Block Corruption in 11g | The Oracle Instructor
One way to simulate is to use nologging operations and then try to recover (this is why force logging is used, so google corruption force logging). Here's an example: Block corruption after RMAN restore and recovery !!! | Practical Oracl Hey, no simulate, that's for realz!
Somewhere in the recovery docs it explains... aw, I lost my train of thought, you might get better answers with shorter questions, or one question per thread, for this kind of fora. Oh yeah, somewhere in the docs it explains that RMAN doesn't report the error right away, because later in the recovery stream it may decide the block is newly formatted and there wasn't really a problem.
This really is dependent on how much data is changing and how. If you do many nologging operations or run complicated standby, you can run into this more. There's a trade-off between verifying everything and backup windows, site requirements control everything. That said, I've found only paranoid DBA's check enough, IT managers often say "that will never happen." Actually, even paranoid DBA's don't check enough, the vagaries of manual labor and flaky equipment can overshadow anything.

New External Monitor for Logic on MacBook Pro - Suggestions

I'm in the painful process of updating my studio and now my large screen external monitor has started failing.
I know if this a pretty general question more suited to the MacBook Pro forum but I'd like some input from folks used to working with an application like Logic in a home studio environment.
I guess the issue for me is that I'm not getting any younger and my eyesight isn't what it used to be. One of the things specific to Logic and music software in general is that there are LOTS of very detailed dialog boxes with text that is not always height adjustable (yes I know about zooming and indeed I do lots of that but it gets quite distracting). The other factor is that I'm often recording and engineering myself which means I'll be sitting with a guitar in my lap or at a keyboard and can't always lean in too close to the monitor.
I solved this by buying a large 26" Acer which sits on my desk behind the Mackie MCU. To my left I've got the MacBook 15.4" Pro on a keyboard stand above my MIDI controller at a 45 degree angle to the desk.
It's worked quite well until the Acer seems to have become haunted. It will mysteriously reboot itself intermittently, going blank for a second, then showing the Acer logo and going back to picture. It will also turn itself on spontaneously when the computer is off (the status light is off and then turns itself on). It seems to detect when I'm in the middle of a really good session and starts resetting itself every 30 seconds or so. Then it will work fine sometimes for days or weeks at a time. I've checked it on 4 different computers, it malfunctions on all. I believe in may be a problem with one of the capacitors or the inverter, I'm not sure, but it's driving CRAZY at this point.
And of course now it's 3 months out of warranty and may be more expensive to fix than buying a new one.
So my issue is what monitor to replace it with. I've considered buying an Apple monitor, since the display is lovely to look at but there are a couple things that are deal breakers.
It's expensive. Very expensive.
Oddly you have to choose between a 24" and a 30", with nothing in between. Don't want to sound like Goldilocks here, but the 24 is tooooo small and the 30 is tooooo big.
Yeah I know bigger is usually better but since they bumped the native resolution of the 30" up to 2560x1600 it's really sharp but things like the menu text get really quite small. Yes you can reset to a lower non native resolution, but then you loose the sharpness. I tested Logic in the store on the 30" and it did look great but I found I actually had to move my whole body around to see things at the top and bottom of the screen.
Oh and did I mention that it's expensive? Jeez.
The 24" now seems to look a bit small to me after using the same resolution (1920x1200) on the Acer's 26" screen. (Ok, I think it's actually 25.5 but hey that half an inch can make a big difference and I will avoid making any bad jokes here).
And did I mention the Apple monitors are expensive? The 24" is almost 3 times as expensive as a cheaper alternative.
I also still have a PC here that I use (sorry) and the Apple monitors have very limited connectivity. So I think unfortunately the Apple monitors are out for me.
So I;m down to a couple other non Apple options. I will not buy an Acer again since I believe now that their quality control is not good and their support is absolutely atrocious. Shame I used to be a big fan of Acer PC's, but after owning a couple I'm steering clear.
My biggest issue right now is that most of the new budget monitors are geared toward 1080p HD uses so they are they are maxing out at 1920x1080 (16:9 aspect ratio instead of 1920x1200's 16:10). So the tradeoff here is that HD movies will look better in 16:9, but 16:10 gives you "squarer" pixels and more vertical resolution for screen hungry apps like Logic.
Any opinions on this? I'm a bit new to the Mac so I don't know if I'm really better off going with a 1920x1200 screen like the Apple monitors.
Also, I know this may just be a bug in the Acer's scaling, but if I switch to 1920x1080, I lose the menus off the top of the screen or if I adjust the vpos I lose the dock at the bottom. Downscaling to 1600x1050 or even 1024x768 works fine. If I get a 1080 screen and set the resolution appropriately will it work correctly and without too much distortion?
I'm also curious what is the best way to hook up the monitor? I'm currently using the DVI to VGA adapter that came with the MacBook. My Pro is the slighter older silver keyboard model so it has the standard DVI out. Will I see any real improvement by going over to using DVI directly?
Also I'm wondering how people feel about glossy vs matte for music. My current displays are the non-glossy and I do think I prefer them for detail work.
The candidates right now are
Hanns-G HH-281HPB 28" @300$. It's one of the only budget monitors that uses 1920x1200. All the right inputs (DVI, VGA). I'm just afraid this might be a bit too good to be true. It's really cheap and after having problems with a "cheap" Acer (although it wasn't so cheap 3 years ago!) I don't want similar problems. Stand has no swivel or tilt (a big problem for my use). Also that resolution on such a big screen might be good for me or it might look grainy I don't know I haven't seen it. Anybody have any experience with these?
Samsung P2770H 27" @339 Looks nice, good color. Sadly only 1080 native resolution. Stand doesn't swivel, but does tilt. No VGA input, so won't work with my old PC (although strangely it says it comes with a VGA cable). They get generally good reviews and I know Samsung makes very good flat panel TV's.
ViewSonic X Series VX2739WM 27" @350. Once again maxes out at 1080. It's fast (1ms), has VGA input. I've never been a big fan of ViewSonic but they do seem to have gotten better color-wise. Tilt no swivel and it's anti-glare (not sure this is a plus).
There are also similar options from HP, Asus, LG and Sceptre but they are all 1080. In fact outside of the Apples, the Hanns-G and a few expensive monitors from NEC they all seem to be 1080. So if I really want the 1200 the Hanns-G seems like the only way to go.
Any input here would be greatly appreciated.

No doubt, the Apple displays are gorgeous. The first time I saw the 30" display wow, I wanted one BAD and it's actually what prompted me to buy a "big" monitor. The colors are great with a rich wonderful saturation level and as usual for Apple the form factor design is stunning. You know for that picture quality I could even get over the sticker shock and save up for one.
Which is why I was so disappointed when I actually sat down in the store and started to use Logic on one. I imagine for doing video work, graphic design or darn near anything else, it would be great. But for Logic I just found myself bending and twisting trying to look at toolbar at the bottom and then up to look at the menus. And instrument or plugin displays that were hard coded to look OK at lower resolutions looked really, really tiny to me. For me and particularly using Logic having 2 slightly smaller displays at a 45 degree angle makes more sense.
And once again the 24 seems just a bit small. I don't understand why they have a 27" iMac but you can't buy a 27" display. So iMac 27" starting at 1699, subtract out the cost of the CPU and drive ie the Mini and I'd really buy one. Strangely you can buy a 21.5" or a 27" iMac. Or you can buy a 24" or 30" display. Hmmmm.
So don't get me wrong I'm not bashing Apple for being expensive. They put a lot of money into R&D and into really thinking about the form and the function of their products. As a recent convert from being a PC developer for 25+ years, hey I've more than sipped the Kool-Aid here, I've guzzled it. They make great products and yeah they're more expensive, because they ARE better! I've now got 2 MBP's, 2 iPods, I'm about to get an iPhone (silly "death grip" or not) and I really want an iPad. Heck I'd really love an 8 core MacPro if I could afford one (alas I can't).
I guess my only gripe here is that there always seems to be a little less choice in the Apple world. Yeah, I know they do a lot less volume than the PC clone world I just think that they always seem to have a big gap between the high end and low end with not enough in between. So you can choose between the lower end and one piece units with no expansion boards (the mini or the iMac) or go straight to monster tower MacPro (way over 3K with display). You can get a MacBook but then you have to put up with a small screen or go with MacBook Pro, which let's face it is a lot of computing power for someone who just wants to web surf and write some email without squinting.
So here I am stuck in the middle. I don't want to buy a HannspreeQG or another piece of junk that's going to last 3 years and 3 months because of a crappy $2 capacitor that no seems to able to fix or care about fixing. I'd like to buy a really nice Apple monitor, I just want a big monitor, not a huge one and not a "medium" one (I know I'm spoiled but 24" seems "medium" these days).
Sorry about the rant here but my monitor is shutting down every 30 seconds and I'm about to go completely insane and toss it out the window!!!
Really glad to hear about that 84' VGA cable. I never imagined such a thing existed or would work without some sort of signal boost on the way. Very cool for me. My electronic drum kit is in another room and I would love to have a small cheap monitor next to it for sequencing. I had my laptop on a stand next to it for a while but I began to get terrified that I'd let a drumstick slip and destroy my laptop screen. That would be a very bad thing. Thanks for the tip.

In Answers am seeing "Folder is Empty" for Logical Fact and Dimension Table

Logical level for logical fact table sources

it is clear that for fact aggregates, we should use the Content tab of the Logical Table Source dialog to assign the correct logical level to each dimension.
question is : is it mandatory to assign even for non-aggregates fact tables the logical level for each dimension (which normally should be set to the most detailed level of each dimension) ? is it any known issue if "logical levels"in content tab are not set ?
the reason I'm asking this is a strange bug I have (I'm not going to discuss it here) and then only workaround seems to be NOT setting the logical levels (on content tab) for logical fact table sources.
thank you !

If levels are not set: By default levels are considered as lowest level
It should not matter if you set or not
Generally we set for facts explicitly when we are using Aggregate tables.
Your current issue might be a case by case; I would suggest to check implicit fact, any table mapped to the source to force a join etc
Mark if helps
Let me know how it helps

An Intel iMac AND a MacBook Pro for Logic Pro?

I am torturing myself over this issue lately so any input you guys could offer would be welcome!
This is the situation:
After 3 months of serious debating whether to purchase a 20" Intel iMac or a MacBook Pro for Logic Pro, I went ahead about 3 weeks ago and got the iMac. My reasoning behind this was that even though I found the portability of the MBP very desirable, the iMac simply represented a better value with the big screen and bigger hard drive. Since getting it, I must say I love this machine and I have not had one single problem with it. Logic 7.2 runs like a dream on it. By the way, aside from maintaing my iTunes Library, occasional iLife stuff and web surfing with Safari, this iMac is for music production only.
But here's the problem:
Still, I can't seem to shake the desire for OCCASSIONAL portability. Keep in mind, I am only a "serious" music hobbyist; I create instrumental hip-hop, trip-hop, electronica style of music mainly with software instruments, loops and breakbeats. So needless to say, I don't tour or do a lot of travelling. But the prospect of being able to compose tracks or make beats in Logic anywhere is DESIRABLE to say the least. I could compose while sitting on the couch watching a game or laying in bed - even though I have no idea of how often I'd actually do that, just having the ability to do it is VERY APPEALING to me. Throw in the fact that the iMac currently shares deskspace with a PC that my wife uses - meaning that I often have to stop what I'm doing to let her use the space. With a laptop, I could move and still continue my flow. Lastly, I unfortunately have bad knees and a bad back so after a couple of hours (or 3 or 4) of sitting at the desk working on Logic, I am seriously hurting. Not comfortable at all. At least owning a MacBook would give me the option to move around to some place more comfortable if I desire.
So...
Even though I recently bought a wonderful iMac that works great, I'm seriously considering getting a 1.83 MBP with at least 1GB of RAM and the 100GB/7200 RPM drive to accompany it just for the portability factor. Sure, I could get a used G4 PowerBook or iBook, but all I own is the Universal Binary of Logic Pro; I would have a hard time accepting the decrease in speed I've gotten use to on the Core Duo. Besides, I inherently have a problem buying something (even used) that I know is old and out of date when the latest and greatest is available.
So here is the $25,000 question: Am I nuts for even considering this? Am I placing too much of a premium on the portability as I would use it?
This could easily be justified if I was a working musician on the road, but that ain't me. And you can believe that I'm definately not rich and thus don't have money lying around.
But I have obsessed over this so much lately, I feel that I almost have to get it just to put my mind at ease! I even briefly considered putting the iMac on eBay and just buying a MBP to replace it, but I love the screen real estate I get with the 20" iMac and I question if I'll be truly satisfied with a 15.4" screen FULL TIME. 17" might be better, but I doubt if I can wait until June for them to arrive. In addition, everything would connected via my wireless LAN and .Mac so file sharing should not be an issue.
Help!!!
What would you do? Sell the iMac or just get a MBP as cheap as I can?
Opinions, Please!
20" iMac Core Duo, 2GHz, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB HD, 128MB VRAM Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I love the portability my powerbook gives me. You can use a PB in your setup. You can run an external monitor for either PB or MBP. You can node. Universal Binary menas it is an application which has the components written for both PPC and Intel chips-so you don't need to do conversion. Nodes won't require you buy a nother license. so the answer is down to how much the 2 upgrades and 1 crossgrades will set you back vs how much use you'll get out of them. IMO the iMac is inexpensive (I mean that in a good way-worth hooding on to). Maybe just look at a refurb PB unless you really have the extra cash.

Identify Entities for Logical Data Model

Hi,
I donno exactly this is the correct forum for this question. I believe there are database experts here to help me on this.
I am in confusion that, phsically the data can be saved in a set of tables (4-5 tables). But different views (User Interfaces) and reports can be created from these tables.
Assume that,
View1 - Uses all tables
View2 - uses only 3 tables
View3 - uses only 1 table
Report 1 - uses only 2 tables
Report 2 - uses only 4 tables
Should my Logical Data Model reflect all these view1, view2, view3, Reprt1 and Report2?
How exactly do we need to identify the entities for Logical Data Model?
Could you please any one help me on this?
Thanks & Regards

New Mac Mini or iMac (late 2012) for Logic Pro?

Between these two specifically, which would be better for Logic Pro, and why?
The new Mac Mini (mid-tier) has a 2.3gHz i7, and the low-end iMac which has a 2.7GHz i5. Both are quad-core. The i5 is faster in clock-speed, but the Mini sports the i7, which has hyperthreading.
Can anybody offer any insight on which of these two computers would be better for Logic?

While this is not quite the answer you be looking for...
The 2011 Mac Mini Server, is in many ways the better bet for use with Logic because...
It has a 2.0Ghz i7... so slightly slower than the 2012 models..but it is the i7 version with 8 Cores.. so it still flies..
It comes with 2 x 500GB 7200rpm Hard Drives built in (Compared to 5400rpm Drives in the 2012 model)
Memory easily upgraded to 16GB for about $90 via Amazon..
..and yoi get a free copy of OS X Server, if should wish to use it at some point in the future... (The MMS comes with the Standard OS X installed and you have to run the add on server program to install OS X server so if you don't need the server stuff, don't run the Server installation software and you'll be running standard OS X as normal)
USB2 instead of USB3 is about the only other important difference that matters for AudioExt Drive use but using the FW800 and Thunderbolt ports, via Tbolt to FW adaptors on the 2011 MMS removes the need for USB3 I find..
Othert than that the 2011 and 2012 models are pretty much the same...
But.. the real kicker is that Apple are currently selling refurbished ones (with full warranty) at $759..... down from $999 originally...so they are quite the bargain..
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC936LL/A/refurbished-mac-mini-with-lion-serve r-20ghz-quad-core-intel-core-i7
I bought two of these originally and have never regretted it.. So much so that i just picked up another as a spare...
Got to be worth consideration... and at that price.. You could buy two... and use Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 to sync them together..
A Basic Guide to VEP5 and Logic info that i wrote, can be found here...
http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=78956http://www.logicprohe lp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=78956
...add a screen and still save money conpared to buying a mid level iMac.... and you would be getting one **** of a punchy system for your buck.
Other than that suggestion..
In regards to the original question... Always go for the i7 models as hyperthreading adds 4 more (virtual) cores and that can really make a difference in performance compared to the 4 cores of an i5...

i just talk to an apple store guy who told me magickpad was a pain in the *** and very tiring comparing mouse dealing with logic and other audio editors.... ?? so hes stupid ? how can you explain this opposite opinion please ?
I don't know if that guy at the Apple store is stupid because frankly, I don't know him.
But seriously, if he can work better with a mouse then he should use one. I'm sure there are still some people out there who don't like to send email and type a letter with a typewriter then put that piece of paper into another piece of paper (envelope), carry that to the post office which puts those pieces of papers from one truck to another to finally get it to their destination. You get the idea.
The bigger issue is that people don't realize that they get accustomed to a device that is a a compromise to begin with, the mouse. Just think about it what it takes to scroll down in a window on your screen.
In perfect world: You would take your hand and scroll down the window (or tell the computer the command)
Instead, you take your hand, grab a thing (A) that has nothing to do with the window. Now you move that thing A and you see that it corresponds to another thing (B) on the screen, the cursor. No you have to move that second thing on to a third thing ( C), the scrollbar. And now, instead of moving down the scrollbar, you have to move it up in order to move the actual page down. How many un-intuitive (or counter-intuitive) steps does the brain have to learn and process? This is insane.
People are used to it and they don't question it as long as there is no better solution.
Instead of moving a thing that moves a thing that moves another thing. You just move THE thing. The original solution is touch the thing that you want to move. That's why kids use the iPad or iPhone with no problem. It is intuitive and you don't have to learn a compromise. The Trackpad is at least half way there.
Remember when Apple changed the direction of the scroll bar recently. Another great example, where people get p**** when something get easier but they want to keep their old way "moving something up in order to move something down".
I don't say that the Trackpad is perfect (it has other issues) and yes it requires some "un-learning" of old habits. It is still a compromise. My first computer was a Commodore64 about 25 years ago and I used mice all those years but I didn't' have a problem dropping that "thing" in a second.

Certification test for logic 9

Hello
I want to make the certification test for Logic Pro 9.I have seen on the Internet that the test has 89 questions and I have one hour to complete this test. Is this true? I have read the whole book and, I was wondering if anyone could email me a practice test or study guide of sorts. I feel like my knowledge of Logic is pretty good and might just be worrying, but if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
best regards

Where to download updates 1-6 for logic pro x

where todownload updates for logic pro 10

Apple menu.... Software Updates
or..
Run the Mac App Store Application and go to updates in there...
Note: Make sure your Logic Pro X app is named as such and resides in your Applications Folder... Also, and this has to be said... given you are asking this question when OS X would have normally notified you already about any updates if you have a legal version... If you are using an illegal version, you will not be able to update.
