Recording two tracks at same time

I want to record guitar on one track and vocal on another at the same time. At the moment I have two ways this might work: I have an Apogee Jam interface for the guitar and A Dual Tube audio inferface for the mic. Or, theoretically, I could plug the guitar into one of the two instrument/XLR inputs on the Dual Tube. When I use option one, with the two different interfaces (Jam and Dual) Logic Audio preferences will only let me choose one "device" as input. Not both. If I use just the Dual Tube with Guitar and mic plugged in to the L and R inputs, they go to the same track, since the Dual is seen as one single Input device. I cant even arm a second track for recording. The sound isn't bad, but I can't mix the tracks independently of each other. Any ideas how to come up with two separate tracks at the same time, or do I have to simply record the Guitar first and add vocals later? THat's what I've always done, but wanted a "live" feel this time. I just switched from Logic Express to Logic Pro X. Thanks in advance for any help!

You can create an aggregate device for a couple of different interfaces in the Audio MIDI Setup OS utility and select that in Logic's Preferences/Devices tab - I've never had to do it myself, so I couldn't be sure it works well with all devices.
It isn't me, but if it were I'd want to record them separately anyway, just for concentration on performance of each element, that's the difference between making good audio and making something that sounds like a proper record, no matter how simple or complex the music is.

Why can I only record 2 tracks at a time ?

Until a couple of months ago I could record 10 tracks at once without a hitch. Then something happened and suddenly I could only record 4 tracks at a time. Now I can only record 2 tracks at once. My logic is completely legal and I'm running a Mac Book pro 2.4 Ghz core 2 duo, 2 GB.
I posted this same questions a couple of months ago without any reply.
I desperatly need help.
Best regards
Kristjan

Not RAM related.
Record tracks have to be set for individual inputs.
If all your tracks are set to record on inputs 1-2 or Mono 1, Mono 2 you will only have two inputs.
Make sure Universal Track Mode IS selected in Preferences/Audio and that you indeed have the correct audio driver selected. Now go to your tracks and see how many inputs you have available. If you're recording mono tracks set audio tracks 1 and 2 to record using inputs 1 and 2, Audio tracks 3 and 4 to use inputs 3 and 4, stereo tracks will use both inputs.

Is it possible to record and play at same time in swift, is there a option to record without storing the file

I am making a microphone, is it possible to record and play at same time in swift, is there a option to record without storing the file

Its pretty simple with FMS. You just need to do following things:
Publish using FMLE with following settings: (just telling which are needed , rest you configure based on your needs)
Video codec: H.264
Audio Codec: <of your choice>
Server ip: rtmp://<server-uri>/<app-name>
Stream Name: mp4:<stream-name>.f4v
Application : Server-side code
application.onPublish = function(myclient,mystream){
     mystream.record();
application.onUnpublish = function(myclient,mystream){
     mystream.record(false);
Have a client , which subscribes in following live mode:-
ns.play("mp4:<stream-name>.f4v",-1,0,true);   // this is subscribing in live mode
In this way even if file is recorded, your clients are subscribing in live mode so all will be in sync.
Now if you want to disallow any clients who will try to subscribe to "recorded" file when live event is going on, you can achieve using auth adaptor. (let me know if you want to enforce such requirement)
But i think above solution solves your primary problem. Also please let me know if there are any issues in getting it work , i have given bare minimum which is required.

Recording to two audio tracks at same time

I am having trouble recording a vocal on track one and a guitar, (via second microphone)
onto track two. I am going through an Apogee, and I have phantom power enabled on both
mics. However when I click the record button on one track it seems not possible to click
the record button on the other track. I have input monitoring button selected on both tracks
and the main record button selected.
Any suggestions at all will be most welcome. I have looked in previous forums and read and
tried various options, but no luck at all so far.
Thanks very much

Hello to Data Stream Studio and howdy cowbell bill. Thanks you both for your replies
and it sounds like you are both in agreement as to what the problem is.
Keeping in mind what you suggested,
I went back onto Logic this morning, but I'm still having the same problem of not being able
to record enable two audio tracks simultaneously. I have checked both mics and both mic
cables, and the breakout cable that leads into the Apogee pre-amp. Those things are all OK.
I've now tried to back-track and to trouble-shoot what little I know. This is what I've done :
1: Shut down and re-opened Logic
2: Opened a new project.
3: Shut off the phantom power for both mics
4: Disconnected both mics and cables
5: Opened a new audio track (track one)
6: Assigned mic 1 to audio track one.
7: Assigned mic 2 to audio track two.
8: Re-connected cables
9: Turned the phantom power back on for both mics.
10: Enabled the input enable/monitor button for both tracks (in the track header)
11: Turned on the main record button in the transport bar.
12: Tried to turn on the record button for both tracks. (in the track header)
11: I can only turn on one at a time. As soon as I click one the other
one turns off.
I have the mixer turned on and can see that both tracks are in Mono.
I am wondering if the way I have the Apogee set up might be the problem?
I have the original Apogee Duet. Phantome power is displayed with two red LEDs
which show up on the front to the unit. Both are illuminated when phantom power is
powered on. I have the volume turned up fully for both mics (via. the Apogee control
panel that shows up on my computer screen). HOWEVER, when clicking the controller
knob on the top of the Apogee unit itself I don't seem to be able to see the two mics
being shown up on the computer screen at the same time. (I hope this makes sense).
I seem to remember a display that shows mic one icon, a display that shows mic 2 icon,
a display that shows the headphone/speaker icons, and a display that shows both
mic one icon and mic two icon.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give me on.
I am sorry this post is so long but I wanted to try to explain
the problem as clearly and as unambiguously as I am able.

Delivering two videos at same time

I am trying to simulate a software-instructional classroom by showing two (720x480) videos at the same time. One video showing the instructor in the classroom and the other of the instructor's computer screen.
The first video (of the classroom) would be shot using standard DV footage shot with a Sony PD 170.
The second "video" (screen capture video) would be captured using software such as SnapZ Pro, Camtasia, or similar software. It is important that this "video" be as large as possible to show the detail of the software.
If displaying two (720 x480) videos at the same time is not possible, does anyone have suggestions for producing a full size screen capture video (larger than 720x480) with the ability to place the (720x480) instructor video in a corner of the screen capture video?
Is this possible with FCP or any other application?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I came up with an interesting workflow for this.
There are three challenges:
1. SnapZ will create files that QT/FCP will interpret as 10fps no mater what you do. I don't know if this has been fixed yet. This post describes the workaround and this post describes the underlying reasons for the issue.
2. using a display resolution higher than 720x480 will allow you to zoom into areas of the interface to show detail, but will require rendering when combining with SD footage in an SD sequence.
3. Even if you use snapZ to record a 720x480 display, the 10fps issue and format difference may still require lots of rendering.
Sooooo, here's what I did:
I recorded snapZ movies at "full" display resolution. This allowed me to do some zooms in post. You can also zoom in real time with a bit of rehearsal by using the ctrl-scroll ball trick.
I planned to edit the screen caps in two stages, first to cut for timing at full-res, and second to combine with SD footage and add the zooms and other graphics.
I created sequences native to the full-res clips' format using the "make multiclip sequence" command.
I fixed the frame rate by placing each one into a sequence at full resolution, but with the correct frame rate, then re-exporting to new quicktimes. You may find it helpful to create a sequence preset with these settings. Your list of sequence presets will be the same list of formats you can choose for a batch export.
Once I had cut for timing in a full-res sequence, I took the contents and pasted them into an SD sequence, using paste attributes to scale them all down to fit. Now I had the hi-res clips in an SD sequence that I could zoom into without them just looking like blurry crud.
Alternatively, there are other hardware solutions you can use to get HD video out of the computer, but you'll need another computer or recording device to capture it. AJA, Blackmagic, and Matrox have capture cards that can output your desktop as HD video. You can also just get a simple DVI to HDMI adapter, but all of these solutions lack the simplicity of SnapZ's one-system-no-recorder setup. SnapZ also allowed me to record more than 2 tracks of audio, in my case the "live" voiceover and the stereo output of the music software we were demoing.
One more option to avoid rendering during cutting if you have to mix formats with the SnapZ workflow is to create DV proxy footage of the hi-res, then reconnect to the HD at the end. However, this requires the fame rates to match, and assigning matching timecode and reel, if applicable, after re-importing to FCP and before reconnecting.
Hope this helps, or at least made some interesting reading, if you made it this far.

Using multi-threading: Setting a VI to be used for two sequences at same time

I have two sequences running as two different threads. This is supposed to be in parallel but both sequences access the same VI, then they're not executing as parallel because one sequence use this VI then liberates it and the other sequence use it, and so on consecutively until both sequences finish. This is not what I want.
How can I do to set this VI with any kind of property or something that can be accessed for both sequences at the same time?
Thanks,

Hi Margarita, you can set a VI to be reentrant (under VI Setup»Execution Options from TestStand, this function can also be used from LabVIEW) . Now depending on the king of VI you are using this can be something safe or can cause trouble. If the VI needs to keep information (for example a Functional Global Variable) or it is handling Hardware it can give you errors (for example trying to access the same DAQ at the same time from different task.
If you need more information can you tell us what does this VI does?

RV042 VPN Client Access not able to connect two users at same time

I have a RV042 and have set it up for VPN Client access using the QuickVPN client to connect my remote users. I discovered today that I cannot have two users connect in at the same time. Both users are in the same remote office. They can connect individually with no problem but if one is connected and the other tries connect also the second user gets a message the gateway is not responding. They are both running WinXPPRo SP3. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Were your QuickVPN clients behind a firewall router of some sort? For multiple QuickVPN clients to be able to connect to the remote RV042 at the same time, the local firewall router must have VPN Passthrough correctly implemented. You could try using a RV042 as the firewall router for your QuickVPN clients and you should be able to maintain 2 tunnels at the same time to the remote RV042.

How to submit two forms at same time?

Have a client that requires their members to update their profile information and some of the details from that form need to also populate a WebApp.
I've seeded the CRM with basic (first name, last name, email address, Your ID, and EntityID) member data.
Members would log in and be asked to update their profile. [action="/MemberProcess.aspx"]
This submission should update their CRM record *AND* create a WepApp record at the same time.
I tried the AJAX + jQuery method, including the second WebApp form [action="/CustomContentProcess.aspx?...] fields as type="hidden", and using {tag_FIELD NAME}; but this isn't working for me, I'm admittedly not a real programmer.
Any thoughts? Thank you very much, in advance for any and all help!
p.s. the reason for wanting to do this, is so that members do not have to update their CRM profile and then also input their data specific to the WebApp form (it's a member listing) as a separate task.
p.p.s. after I get through the above hurdle... how can I ensure that a CRM user has one and only one WebApp item (their listing) and that they can edit it? Another issue I'm having now is that users create a new listing in the WebApp if they submit another record and in the future I fear that simply editing their CRM profile will create new WebApp listings too. This site is like a phone book, there should only be one listing for each unique email address (in this case).

You can use Jquery + AJAX to submit as many forms as you want to as many places as you want. Don't use the HTML to submit and have a second javascript submitter as the Javascript might not have time to complete before the page is submitted.
I wrote this quickly just now, this wont work on the JSfiddle site because you can't form POST / GET anything on it (AJAX included it seems). it will submit to other URLs the same data. It is done in parallel and because we don't know which one will finish quicker, both calls check if all calls are complete before confirming everything is complete. I have not tested it but it would get you 99% of the way there.

Connect to two routers at same time?

I connect to internet throught router #1
Set up time capsule as stand alone (i.e. did not join network on router #1). Let's call time capsule router #2
When I look at my wifi, I have to join router #1 and get internet access, and no access to files on time capsule OR join router #2 with access to files, but no internet access.
Any way to join both networks (routers) at the same time?
I know, I could set up time capsule to join the netwrk on router #1, but as stand alone, file transfer is faster.
Thanks.

It is not possible for the AirPort networking feature of your Mac to be connected to two wifi networks simultaneously.
If you're going to use the Time Capsule for backup only, you're probably better off buying a FireWire hard drive since that will be much faster than any wifi-based backup device.
Alternatively, connect your Time Capsule to "router #1" with an ethernet cable and then you can use it both for your wifi connection and backups.
If you don't need to use "router #1" then just use the Time Capsule - it's a very good router and wifi hub.

Print on two printers at same time.

Hi gurus,
I need to print a form in two printers at the same time. If its possible with SAP.?
Thanks in advance.

Hi friend,
Yes it is possible for configuration go to NACE and select the Procedure and then the relevant output condition and in details you will find something called Print option and there you have different options for the print based on user, sales organsation etc.
Hope the answer will help you.

Operating two Vis at same time

First time posting here on NI, need some help with setting up a Labview program. A little background so you know what we are attempting to do and the level of skills involved in it. I'm a undergrad research assistant and I have never used labview before until I started on this project and just have a basic understand of the program now. All the programs involved in this were written before I started on the project by other undergrad and grad students. So any answers will probably have to be dumbed down to a noobs level for me. Here is our problem :
We have two VIs that we are having to run at the same time. The First VI is a program that we use to run a automated arm/probe. It is setup to run manually by using the arrow keys on the keyboard or we have a grid system setup on our test box and can tell it were to travel too by inputting the x y cords into the program. The second VI is a safety loop, the testing we are doing is dealing with EM fields and detection of them. We have equipment that generates the field inside the test box but we can not allow it to get over a certain watts level. The second program was designed to detect when we reached this level and turn the system off for safety. Both of the programs work just fine.
So here is the problem, we can not run them at the same time which is an issue. Anytime they try and run them together the system bogs down then crashes or they just fail to load and run at the same time.
Here is the solution I would like to try and find. What is the best, fastest and simplest way to link both of this programs as a single VI that wouldn't take a lot of programming and knowledge. Basically the programming team that made the VIs is gone now. If needed I an post the VIs. Thanks for any help or input

I would guess that your programs are not programmed very efficiently and are running with what are known as greedy loops. That is, the VIs have a loop in them but don't provide any means for LabVIEW to switch between tasks. One, or both, are starving the CPU which causes your execution issues. Even some as simple as adding a Wait(0) to the loop will help to prevent greedy loops from occuring. Additionally, they could have issues with maintaining memory and do things like allowing arrays to grow infinitely large. Without seeing the code though it will be difficult to give you specific advice.

Connect two ipods at same time?

I have a fortunate problem/question. My son got a nano ipod and I got a 30MB ipod. We both would like to charge them and get running. Can you connect both at the same time? I have two USB ports and could physically do it. I know that you can use multiple units with a single computer, but there is nothing about charging them at the same time in the documentation.
Thanks

I've had 3 ipods connected at the same time. They all show up under Devices.

Two logins at same time

Somehow I ended up with what looks like two identical logins at the same time. The most obvious symptom is that there are two duplicate logout, shut down, restart, and force quit lines in the apple menu. I tried doing those things, but as soon as I go back in, both come back.
Please advise how to kill the second login.
Thanks,

Thank you for prompt and accurate reply! I wasn't aware of the voice-over function, and must have hit Command-F5 by accident.

Photoshop CS6 - 'Two computers at same time' question

Hi guys.
I've tried searching for this question before but I couldn't find a definitive answer to it in the threads (maybe that's for a reason!). Now, clearly the TOS stipulate about using PS on one computer at a time. I understand that, as otherwise you could give a copy to a friend, for example. However, for work purposes it would be helpful for me to have the program open on two of my computers here in my household at the same time; of course I'd only be actively at one computer at any given moment so not technically using the other, but it would be open. It would also be using the same internet connection because of this (just in case that's a 'thing' worth mentioning).
My question is really this: Is the 'one computer' requirement actively enforced via the software (a little like the monthly (or so?) online validation of the software serial), or is it more of a 'Please just don't do this' type of deal? I can ensure people my reasons are legitimate but I don't want to risk installing again in case I'm 'flagged' and lose access to expensive software that I can ill afford to replace.
Many thanks for any and all answers.

ave the program open on two of my computers here in my household at the same time; of course I'd only be actively at one computer at any given moment so not technically using the other, but it would be open.
My experience with this is that nothing deactivates but, upon launching the second copy on the same network, a window appears saying that two copies have been launched and the first copy should first be closed if you wish to continue using the second copy.
So I've never been able to run the software on two computers simutaneously on the same network.
