Selecting Tracks via a Television

I know there have been a lot of posts about connecting an ipod to a television to enable you to view artwork and select tracks etc but does anyone know if this is actually possible at the moment or whether a firmware upgrade covering this problem is in the offing?

No, it's not possible. The iPod is connected to the TV with an S-Video cable - this cable send video in one direction (from iPod to the TV) and cannot be used to send navigation signals from the TV to the iPod).

  • Assigning controllers on "selected track"

    I want to automate the track equalitzers via a midi controller.
    I move every parameter and command+L to learn assignments (in advanced view, just once command+L and then sequentially and alternating, the virtual eq parameter and then the midi slider). That works perfectly.
    The captured parameters are assigned automatically to "Selected track" (what I want) but that assignment just work on that track (in this case, track 1), even if it is or not the selected one. ????? some help?
    I've seen similar behavior assigning for example, the volume parameter, but I could solve it changing "selected track" by "index", I don't understand why it worked. That solution does not work for the EQs.

    I change the subject to see if I can have some answer.

  • Logic Pro 9 - Not able to select plugins via Inserts / Audio Units.

    Hi
    I have the program Logic Pro 9 version 9.1.6 (1700.43) (32- bit)
    I use plugins like for example SampleTank and Realstrat . Everything has until recently worked fine, but I now have a problem.
    When I choose a plugin I usually put the mouse on the box 'Inserts', press ALT and then a menu appears. Here I, among many menu items, at the bottom see ' Audio Units ' . At this point I usually could choose, for example SampleTank , .. but now I can only choose Apple features. That is to say - I can not choose my plugins in this menu anymore.
    I've been around online and search . Here I was recommended to delete a file called com.apple.audiounits.cache . I have done this, but the problem is not solved.
    I also have updated the operating system with latest MacOSX10.7.5 update . This has not helped .
    All my plugins are also visible in Logic Audio Units Manager, and I can see that they are being loaded when Logic starts up.
    The plugins also still works in projects created within the problem occurred. That is, - I can open for example SampleTank in a track in a project that is created and a half years ago.
    So the exact problem is that I, in new projects, is not able to select plugins via Inserts / Audio Units .
    Can you help me solve this problem?

    For users of this system, it must surely be obvious that you very often have to choose musical instruments, also from instrument plug-ins.
    Yes, often. That is why it is very obvious and simple for any experienced user.

    Why on earth is it so complicated to choose a musical instrument? If you are not currently using this system every day, you forget the such a detail about having to press down for several seconds to select an instrument.
    I do not think it is complicated at all. And you do not have to press down for several seconds. I just timed, it is 0.4 seconds of clickholding. The holding is functional:  you won't load a new instrument (and possiblly loose any work you had done on your sound) just because you accidentally clicked on a slot.

    There should be a nice big green button on the screen that read 'Select musical instrument', - then a menu where you can choose whether it should be one of Logics musical instruments, or a plugin instrument.
    It would be user-friendly.
    What is your view about these things?
    You are basically saying it should be dumbed down to the level of some "any-kid-or-adult-idiot-can-use-it-out-of-the-box" smartphone app. I think you are overlooking that this is a Pro program, not a toy. I think you try to blame the software for the fact that you didn't know how to operate it. You're avoiding responsability. That's my view.

  • When I try to map faders to the volume in audio tracks it only lets me map the "selected track"

    LogicX user. I'm trying to map my mpd32's faders up with four audio tracks to control their volume. For the first three tracks, I can map the faders accordingly, and in the Controller Assignments window, in the "channel strip" section on the right, they all say "fader bank (1-3)", which is correct. When I get to the fourth audio track, and I go through the same steps as I have to map the first three audio tracks, the channel strip section says "selected track: 1" instead of what I thought it would say: "fader bank 4". When I try and manually change that to "fader bank 4", I move the control that I want it to be mapped to, it and the text automatically switches back to saying "selected track 1". I made sure that none of the tracks that I was trying to map were selected before I did this. I'm not new to logic by any means but I seriously need to be able to control these all at the same time for a performance I'm trying to do soon. It is driving me ******* crazy.

  • How can i record a song in a karaoke music track via GB?

    how can i record a song in a karaoke music track via GB?

    First plug in some headphones.
    Then drop the karaoke song into garageband. You do this by just draging and dropping the song file into garageband or if the song is in itunes just use garagebands media browser.
    Now create another track (vocal track).
    Put headphones on hit record and sing.
    This is a bit over simplifed but give it a try someone will be here when you have more specific problems.

  • Why does my track volume on selected track suddenly spike?

    Why does my track volume, on the SELECTED TRACK, suddenly spike to max as if I had volume automation set. It never did this before a few weeks ago. Very frustrating. It happens during playback and loop recording. It started around the same time I started using a new audio interface (steinberg UR22) but I don't think that is causing the issue because I wen't back and used my MBOX to be sure, and it did the same thing. I have never had any use for automation or a master volume track either. It doesn't matter if I have a guitar, bass or mic going direct or through a preamp. It seems to be internal to GB settings. The only change I've made to my macbook recently was I increased my RAM from 2 to 4gb.
    It's like Garageband has a mind of it's own and it feels as though there isn't enough signal reach the track to it boosts it itself. What am I missing?
    Please help I can't get anything done because it spike in the middle of a take and I have to start over.
    I'm using GB 11 version 6.0.5

  • Cannot select tracks on ipod classics through Itunes.

    Hi
    Once I connect my new IPOD to my mac, the IPOD itself shows up and the list of music on the IPOD shows up in ITunes, but I edit/select tracks at all. Its as if they are locked. Any idea how to overcome this?

    If the songs are "greyed out" it's because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
    If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manage the content manually.
    Please note that by editing/changing the songs on your iPod in this manner, the changes will not affect the songs in iTunes, only on your iPod.

  • How to view ALL selected tracks in iTunes

    Simple question, I hope, but I've got more tracks on my iTunes than I can fit into my iPhone and I would like to be able to see how much memory my selected tracks take up, in total, not just by artist, before I try to sync.
    Is there anyway of viewing all selected tracks in iTunes?

    Create a new playlist using the command File > New Playlist. Drag the selected tracks into it. Open the playlist and look at the bottom to see the number of tracks, total size, and playing time.

  • How to " display selected track 's automation" ????

    Hello
    In former versions of logic ( prior to lp8) , there was an option "display selected track's automation " now there is only " display automation " wich means every time i click on this , it will zoom all my tracks automatically wich can be pretty confusing . Id like to be able to see automation only for the selected track in the arrangement .
    Is this option still available ??
    If yes where did it go ??
    Thanx in advance.

    If you use auto track zoom and make your arrangement tracks small enough heigtwise, any track chosen will therefore display its automation.

  • Hi, I want to rebuild my g/f's lost itunes as a surprise. What is the easiest and stealthiest way to buy tracks via my macbook for her itunes?

    Hi,
    I want to rebuild my g/f's lost itunes as a surprise. What is the easiest and stealthiest way to buy tracks via my macbook for her itunes? To be clear I don't want to buy her vouchers I want to buy the songs myself. I don't have access to her itunes account and to ask would give the game away. I don't want to own or listen to the songs myself but I struggle to think of an approach that doesn't involve some sort of piracy.
    She currently has zero tracks having lost them all so the only thing I can think of is starting an entirely new account in her name and filling it and then giving it to her on a hard drive. Is this the best way to go about it?
    Many thanks,
    Andrew

    There is no really good way to do what you want. Any tracks you purchase via your own iTunes Store account are for your personal use, tied to your iTunes Store account, and can't be given to anyone else. If you don't want to gift the tracks to her and can't access her iTunes Store account, the only option other than creating her a completely new iTunes Store account (which will require a new email address for her) is to buy the CDs those tracks are on.
    Regards.

  • How to Export OMF or AAF of selected tracks in PPro CC2014

    From a larger sequence with (e.g.) 20 audiotracks, how can I create OMFs (or AAFs) from just a few selected tracks (e.g. in order to keep size of embedded OMFs below 2Gb)

  • Selected Track Getting More Processing Power?

    Hello,
    If I understand correctly, Logic 9 allocates more resources to a selected track than other tracks (if you have more than one). Could anyone elaborate on how this is implemented? Can I choose to turn off this feature and give the same processing power to all tracks/plugins?
    The reason I ask this is because my Korg M3 plug-in is not playing nice with Logic when the VI track with that particular plugin is not selected. If i select another track, the playback becomes out of sync with the rest of the project. However, if I select that track, everything is played back in time.

    It's never been a problem for me before either. It's just with this one plug-in. Like the delay compensation isn't working on it,
    that perhaps it's an issue with logic and this particular implementation of 'virtualized' hardware.
    Ok, well it's true that Logic functions differently than most (if not all) other DAWS regarding it's handling of buffers. Most DAWs keep a Plugin or VI partially active when the sequencer is stopped. Logic does not, this is how Logic gets it's high efficiency rating, you can load up a project template with all of the plugins & VIs you would need to start a large project and there will be virtually no CPU resources used, as long as you have enough memory you're good to go.
    When you keep a plugin track selected... it is active or partially active, this allows the plug-in to initialize and clear it's buffers.
    It sounds like the Korg plugin is built on an older AU spec, since Logic does not keep plugins active it's now up to the plugin to initialize and clear it's own buffers when the sequencer is stopped, this means that they have to remain active for a time after Logic is stopped.
    A couple of developers I beta tested for cried foul because they learned about this after the plugins had been developed and tested as the original AU spec did not contain this information.
    Anyway, it sounds like it will be up to Korg to update the plugin to be compatible with Logic. The scenario you've described sounds like the Korg's buffers have not emptied or the plugin doesn't initialize unless the track is selected.
