Save custom drum settings for Drummer track?

Hi guys. Wondering if there is a way to save the Drummer region settings from one project and use them in another project without manually setting things like complex, loud, fills, etc. THanks.

"Save Drummer Presets" is a feature that is only available in Logic but not in GarageBand. Here is screenshot with both GarageBand and Logic open. You can see that the Action Menu (the one with the gear icon) is not available in GarageBand.
The good news is (in case you use Logic and GarageBand), all the Drummer Prests you save in Logic are also available in the Presets Menu in GarageBand. They are stored in the the following directory:
~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Drummer/Presets/"Name of the Drummer"/.... .dpst
The presets are stored as XML files with the file extension .dpst.
If you have a Logic friend who can saved cool presets, you can copy his files into your Drummer folder and GarageBand can see them. If you more interested in a "science project", you can duplicate a dpst file, open it in BBEdit and edit your Preset numerically.
A lot of details and more information (from basic to more advanced) about GarageBand are found in my new manual "GarageBand X - How it Works", the only comprehensive manual available for GarageBand.
Hope that helps

How to set and save Custom Print Settings in Aperture?

How to set and save Custom Print Settings in Aperture
Hi,
I am printing 12x18" images on 13x19" sheets. I find it difficult to enter the 13x19" dimensions because each value jumps to another random value when I move to enter the second dimension. For instance 13 jumps to, say, 8.5 as I type 19 into the second box. Same with the sheet dimensions.
Also, when I finally get it all correctly, the margins don't set themselves automatically - which I would I expect.
Then, even though I save the setting by clicking Save Setting at the gear below, next time I turn Aperture on, it's all gone.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Raphael

For me, it is working with these settings, Raphael.
Does your image have a 12x18" aspect ratio? You may want to crop it to the desired aspect ratio before printing.
I can only test with Aperture 3.6 on Yosemite 10.1.

Is it possible to save separate bus settings for each patch?

Is it possible to save separate bus settings for each patch
From reading the manual I don’t think this is possible – but would be grateful for any help around this.
2 examples:
1. I play around with the delay settings on a bus and I then change patch for the next tune and e.g the feedback on the delay is wrong for the new track.
2. Most of my patches are 2 layered sounds – which I have sent to a bus to put effects on – But I can’t save those effects settings on that bus on a patch by patch basis – If I change the settings on the effects on the bus all the patches are effected.
Hopefully Mainstage 3 when it emerges will address this issue – so you have the choice. Unless there is something I am missing.
Any thoughts gratefully accepted.

Need a program that will save the capacity settings for all storage bins

Hey all,
I would really apprecaite any help with a program I am trying to come up with.
What I need to do is create a program that:
1. Will save the capacity settings for all storage bins to
a file
2. Then update them all to allow unlimited capacity BUT be able to revert back to the
original that was saved.
Any suggestions about possible existig reports that I may be able to modify to suit my needs, or where to start from if I have to do this from scratch?

I know I'm talking about expensive apps, but having been in prepress for about 30 years now, I really don't look at anything other than Quark XPress or InDesign for page layout apps. Your printing vendor will also be much happier with you when you use these products. Some areas of the U.S. tend to be mostly Quark oriented; others, InDesign. Ask your vendor what they would prefer, and if there are any free or cheap alternative apps they'll accept documents from.
Apple's Pages app (part of iWork) is a decent page layout program, but hasn't been updated in four years. It also doesn't support CMYK. If you place a CMYK image in the app, it will export out an RGB version of it. Not good! You can work with RGB images if you prefer, but your CMYK translations will be left to the skill of the print shop you use to do the conversions.
Don't even think about using Word. It has what it calls a page layout option, and does pretty much work like one, but there's no good way to import it into a real layout app such as InDesign. You end up paying the printer for their time to rebuild your entire project in either XPress or InDesign so they can actually do something with it.

Did Lion eliminate the finger gestures for show the previous page and show the next page? I've checked system settings for the track pad and it looks like the got rid of one of my favorite finger gestures when browsing the internet. How do I get it back

I've upgraded to LION. It looks like LION eliminates the finger gestures within internet browsing that used to yield navigating to the previous page or navigating to the next page. I think it was a 3 finger swipe to the left and a 3 finger swipe to the right. It looks like this has been eliminated. I've gone into the system preferences and went through all the new settings for the track pad finger gestures. I've not found a combination that allows me to swipe on the track pad to do the page forward / page back function.
How to I get this back? I was my favorite one and now I can't get there!

For going back to the previous page try a 2-finger gesture. Two fingers in the other direction will take you back.

How do you save customized drum kits as a usable choice in the drum kit setting selection menu

i've loaded samples from my own personal sound banks into the Drag & Drop Samples Kit and i would like to be able to save them as a customized drum kit so that i can select that particular kit when i compose songs in Logic.

DavidBacon wrote:
Anyway, the overall, larger issue for me is the inability I have to choose and get non-Garageband instruments (largely orchestral) to play the Midi events given on various tracks. If my guess is correct then technically, orchestral instruments not offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Garageband Mixer channel menu are referred to as external Midi sampled instruments - still, IMHO the process is not clearly spelled out in the User Manual. The simple step by step process whereby a non-Garage band instrument, say an orchestral instrument, is placed in a channel replete with Midi event (notes) waiting to be played should be easy, logical and given in a simple to follow format, but is not.
What with all the talk of routes, busses, auxillary channels, GM devices, GM mixers, audio bins, libraries and audio files this Logic Pro User is confused to the max.
David, you understand that this is professional software and is not necessarily meant to be easy but is in fact designed to give the professional user as many choices as possible, that's why it's in the Pro Apps section. You WILL need to learn about buses, GM Devices, Audio Bins, Libraries...etc..etc if you intend to use Logic.
That said, you are looking in the wrong place in the channel strip.
May I offer you advice?
Go here:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
Open "Exploring Logic Pro" (a short PDF Document). Pay special attention to chapter 3. Also pay special attention to the included graphics of the channel strips.
I encourage you to read the whole document as it will clear up many things... even though it's a Logic 9 document.

Custom communications settings for an Apple LaserWriter

I have an Apple LaserWriter 16/600 up and running on Mac OS 10.4.11 and I want to set some custom communications settings by using the configuration switch on the back. (The switch is currently in the down position for standard settings.)
I have the Apple Printer Utility-PPC from OS 9 and I have Classic open but No luck getting things to work.
What more do I need to do?
Any suggestions?

O.K. Grant,
I was just in OS 9, opened the Chooser, selected Laserwriter 8 icon, and it found my Laserwriter 16/600 (which i have hooked up). And choosing Setup>Auto Select, it found the "Laserwriter 16/600 PS" PPD.
I've been trying to download, install and understand this Laserwriter 8.5 thing but, looking in my Extensions>Printer Descriptions folder, I see this "LaserWriter 8500 PPD v1.2" is already there. And I can use Chooser>Setup>SelectPPD to redo my Laserwriter using that PPD.
So, some of my confusion may be cleared up but, this is probably more than I needed to figure out.
Thanks
Shamus

Cannot Change Custom Import Settings For AAC's

Last night I changed the custom import settings from 192 kbps to 160 kbps for a particular mp3 album I wanted to convert with that bitrate. I tried to change the custom settings back to 192 kbps (the bitrate most of my mp3's & wma's are in). For some reason, the window that came up many times before refuses to pop up now. I tried the custom settings for mp3's and that window still pops up. Anyway, I tried a repair and nothing happened. I uninstalled iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, and Apple Software Updates, deleted there corresponding folders in C:/Program Files and then restarted the computer. I downloaded the iTunes 9 installer through the iTunes website and proceeded to reinstall iTunes. Still, the problem exists. I'm not sure what else to do? The only other thing I can think of is to do the same except install iTunes 8 instead and then search for updates and reinstall iTunes 9 that way. Would anyone know of any other method on solving my problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

glenn,
I have the same problem and it is driving me crazy. If you find a solution please email me at [email protected]
thanks and good luck

Custom Picture Settings for Insignia 42" NS-L42Q-10A

Does anyone wish to share their custom picture settings (contrast, brightness etc.) for the Insignia 42" NS-L42Q-10A? The vivid default is to bright, so I have been trying to come up with a custom setting and would like to hear what has worked for other owners.
Thanks.

Well, it turns out that I neglected to include a critical piece of info in my post. This behavior was occuring when using my Harmony 550 remote with the Insignia TV.
I tested the behavior with the remote that came with the TV and the settings were saved. So I went to change the settings on my Harmony remote when I discovered Logictech had a software update that included the Insignia TV. Installing that update fixed the issue.
And in case anyone else reads this, I am very pleased with this television set. I had to learn a few things about HDTV first though to get everything out of it that it offers.

Creating a custom drum staff for score and hyper editor

Can anyone clearly explain, how to create a custom drum staff to use in Score page? Each manufactor uses a different mapping. I would like to create a drum score for Korg, Yamaha, BFD, Superior etc.
I often change drum kits (BFD, Yamaha, GM, Korg, etc) while working on a song. I want to create a drum staff style to accomodate each of these. So the drum notation will be standard drum notation.
There is a GM drum staff style in Logic. When I use a GM kit, it works fine. But the best drum instruments use several articulations of each drum. I can't figure out how to edit it a drum staff to display what I need.
For instance Kik is normally C1. But some some drum instruments might use B0, C1, G5, C-1, all playing different articulations of kiks. I need to create a staff style which will show all these different notes as showing up on the bottom of the drum staff (standard drum notation)
I can create a Hyper drumkit for each different brand of drum . But I can't figure out how you incorporate that into the score editor. You must have to create a custom drum staff. But it eludes me....
Thanx...

Thanks, i just found it also here:

Custom Sequence Settings for Split Screen

Hello all,
FCP 6. I am doing a split screen where I am combining two 720x480 videos side by side. I did the whole project by scaling down both videos to match whatever the sequence settings were. How can I create a custom canvas/ sequence size to avoid scaling down the frames and cutting on the image quality?
I created a custom sequence setting doubling the width to 1440 and keeping height at 480.
Can I copy and paste the clips from the old sequence without the scaled down quality to the new sequence? How can I do that?
If I open a new sequence is the new setting going to be in effect?
Any other suggestions on how to deal with custom size frame/ split screen?
Thank you!

Dear Jim,
Thank you for help! Does make sense. I did all like you suggested. After removing 'basic motion' and pasting into new sequence, the clips appeared big default size instead of small. I re-applied motion attribute like you said, but isn't it scaling down again since I am sizing from big to small (50%) again?
It looks good on the screen but I am not sure about actual resolution of the clip. In clip-item properties-format I read frame size but I am not sure if this info is about the source file or the clip.
I would like to get around this issue without scaling down (keeping the scale in motion tab at 100%).
The way I tried to deal with the scaling and res before I got your answer, was after I changed the 'global' settings for the custom 1440x480 sequence, and after creating a new sequence, I went to sequence settings again (from top menu) and set to custom (1440x480) (with just global settings the pasted clips looked like before). After copying and pasting with removed attributes-distort, all was in the original right/left order normal size and resolution.
The way I tried seems to meet my need (as pasting attributes-motion to all again would be complicated as the design of the project does not stick to the clearly left/right pattern but fluctuates back and forth at times and there is too many short clips).
The only problem I have now is with the RENDER.
After I rendered what I did to your suggested solution and mine (two sequences), the whole project shows in low res. I checked the render settings in Sequence-Render Control, and both resolution and frame rate are set to 100% so I dont know what I do wrong.
Any suggestions??
THANKS!!!

Can I save custom export settings in QuickTime Pro?

I'm using QuickTime Pro a lot to export/convert many different projects, but every time I need to change the export settings, because there is no way to save them inside QuickTime
I've found a description on how to do it wil Apple Script: http://lists.apple.com/archives/QuickTime-Users/2002/Nov/msg00295.html
But the problem is that it needs to run also Apple script to actually perform the export, and I don't want it - I'm not a scripter, and I need the settings to be easy to load.
I thoigh there is some prefs folder, where QT actually stores those default presets, where I can put some custom ones, but I didn't find such a folder...
Is there any way to do it?
Thanks

QuickTime can only view WMP (Windows Media Player) files with third party software help:
http://flip4mac.com
To use Pro to export these files to QuickTime formats you'll need to pay for the upgrades at Flip4Mac.
Not all WMP files are supported.

How to save changes to settings for photos in an iPhoto slideshow?

How can I save the settings to individual slides in an iPhoto slideshow? I followed the instructions for changing the zoom and pan, but when I exit iPhoto an relaunch it the settings revert to some default. Help!

Try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Maverick - Save Custom Zoom Settings?

Is there a way to save zoom settings in Maverick? In Mountain Lion, my zoom settings would be saved in Safari, Pages, Numbers etc. So once I set the desired zoom, every time I opened the program the same zoom settings were already set. Now every time I reopen those progams, it loses my zoom settings. I tried rolling back to Pages/Numbers 9, but it's the same thing, so it seems like a Maverick issue. Am I missing something somewhere?

In Safari my zoom would never be saved either with ML or Mavericks. I thought that was the way it was. Stays OK with Chrome.
