Setting output to onboard and input to USB interface ?

Hi all,
Does somebody now a way to "split" the input and output in logic?
What I want is using my Alesis USB interface for the incoming signals and the onboard (headphone) output for the the master output. The reason is, when recording guitars through ie Amplitube, the Alesis interface is giving both the clean guitar input signal and the processed signal form Logic back on the output. There's no way to stop the clean input signal going to the output... IF there's a way to set the output to onboard, I only monitor the Logic output.
In Garageband you can easily set both the input and output in Preferences, but Logic only gives me the option to select the soundcard for both in and output.
I hope someone can help me out. Thanks a lot
Kind regards,
Martijn

You may be able to configure your interface to do this...
But if not, you can create an aggregate device (in Audio MIDI setup - may be in Applications>Utilities).

Setting global action map and input map.

I was needing a way to set up the global inputmaps and actionmap. Currently I am grabbing the rootpane of the JFrame and manipulating the input maps there but I was hoping to be able to change the the input maps for whole classes of components such as adding a default to the UI some how so that all buttons respond to an 'Enter' key.
So far all the solutions invloved modifying individual components, nothing really looked like a way to modify the all JButtons or all JDialogs to add inputmaps/actionmaps.

Try this fun example.
Foucs the button. Press some random keys. Press the space key.

Simultaneous audio from outputs 1-2 and outputs 3-4?

Hi guys,
How do I get simultaneous audio from outputs 1-2 and outputs 3-4? I'm running Logicpro 7.1 through an M-Audio FW 410 hardware interface.
I'm trying to set things up so I can monitor through my mixing board to eleminate the weird echo sound you get in your headphones when recording.
I thought I could do it in logic by creating an ouput 1-2 and output 3-4 channel strip where ouput 3-4 will have the "i/o" plugin and in the plugin settings, Out would be set to 3-4 and input set to 1-2, this way sound will always come out of output 1-2 which will go to my speakers and output 3-4 to my mixing board. Please help!

I'm trying to set things up so I can monitor through my mixing board to eleminate the weird echo sound you get in your headphones when recording.
The 'weird echo sound' is because you are hearing Logic's software monitoring alongside direct monitoring of the inputs (either via the interface, or your mixer, depending where the headphones are plugged in.)
You can avoid this by setting the monitoring level on the record-enabled track to zero. (recording tracks have two level settings. Normal playback and record input monitoring. See page 282 in the Logic Pro reference manual.) It will not affect your record levels, or your input metering.

Hi,
     I haven't been able to find any documentation on CCo regarding this, but in my searching, I have come across the following MIb Object, which will tell you the input rate on the interface :

    DESCRIPTION    "Five minute exponentially-decayed moving                            average of input bits per second."
     There is a similar object locIfOutBitsSec (.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.8) for the output rate.
     To so rxload = 255 * locIfInBitsSec / (1000000 * ifHighSpeed )

How can I use USB interface in Labview?

Hi.
Does labview allow to USB interface?
I have been seen allowing GPIB and RS232.
I'm beginer at Labview and wanna use USB interface for my target system and pc.
I wanna know how to labview interfaces from target system to pc.
And if Labview doesn't provide USB interface module, how can I use USB?
Is using a USB at Labview hard to beginer?
Plz, answer to my quetion.
sorry, my English is very poor.
thx for reading my article.

You can access devices connected to the USB port, but not in the same way as you would a GPIB or RS232 device. There are no USB drivers like there is VISA for GPIB or serial. Rather devices that plug into the USB appear to the systen as some sort of standard resource like a printer, disk drive or IO board. LabVIEW then interacts with these devices as it would any other device of the same type.Look at it this way, if you have a USB daq device you will access it through MAX the same as if it were a plugin card.

Can a sound card be configured to both output and input audio?

I am building a radio tester and would like to output a 1 kHz tone from the laptop's sound card, and then after its been through the radios, input the audio signal again and carry out a SINAD measurement on it. I can get the VI's to carry out each operation separately (that is, get one to produce and output a 1 kHz tone, and the other to read an input audio signal and produce a SINAD measurement), but I can't get the two to work together as required.
I think the problem is to do with the device number. In both VI's the device number is set as 0, so does this cause a problem when running them together. The tone is being generated fine, but but it appears that this is what the SINAD VI is measuring, not the input coming from the radio.
Does the device number refer to the sound card itself, and if so, is it possible to distinguish between the audio in and audio out ports?
Any help would be appreciated.

You certainly can - just look at your Windows Soundcard settings and play
with them for a bit. Are you using Line in and Line out? (speaker that is).
What I do is test them separately then together.You don't need two sound
cards by the way though you must inhibit line in so it doesn't play through
the speakers otherwise the input and output get mixed together.The otehr
problem you should have is that teh sine wave will sound as if it is
intermittant - there is a fix for this.

The ability to output halftones (separations) and set screen angles, etc., from the CS5 print dialog

I output films from photoshop that are used to expose silkscreens. often, i output halftones and up until CS5 i've done this from the print dialog where i can also set my screen angles and dot shapes, press print and off it goes to my printer. It has been suggested to me in the photoshop macintosh forum that i might simply build a script to convert the individual channels to bitmaps at the printer resolution, angle, shape and then print that. unfortunately, this method results in less accurate screens and fails to take advantage of what my postscript printer can do. this is the only reason i have a postscript capable printer. i used this workaround method before i bought the postcript printer and the results just weren't very good.
my workaround is to keep CS3 installed and print from that. this is a hassle and less than optimal. i was quite surprised to find that this "feature" which has been available in photoshop for many years suddently disappeared. please give some thought to bringing it back. i expect that i'm not the only shop that's going to miss it.
you can see some commentary on this in the ps mac forum. look for "setting line screen in CS5."
kenb

Hey Ken, I personally haven't used that feature in years but it was
very useful when printing separations for t-shirts so I feel for ya. I
noticed it's still in CS4 if that helps. Also, you may try
experimenting with the following filters:
RGB FILES:
Filter > Sketch > Halftone Pattern
RGB or CMYK FILES:
Filter > Pixelate > Color Halftone
GRAYSCALE FILES:
Image > Mode > Bitmap > Method > Halftone Screen
Also, InDesign allows you to print custom screen angles and line
rulings but not dot shape.
Good luck!

Does anyone know how to set the gain and input coupling for each individual channel?

How do I use one set of XML data and populate multiple layouts with it?

I have an XML document with root element BOOK. Inside BOOK are PAGEs. (I also have each PAGE as it's own XML file, so that I can update each PAGE individually.)
I have a print layout of 6"x9" and I want to create an iPad layout (H & V).
When I create the V layout, I have the 6x9 master set to "scale" in liquid layouts and it works great. But in my XML structure, everything gets duplicated. Now there are two sets of data. When I create the H layout, now I have three sets of data.
So then I tried deleting everything in my iPad masters and setting them to be based on my print masters, but the content isn't scaling.
Let me know if you have questions, because I'm not sure where I might need to clarify. Thanks in advance!

Yes, either way round. In System Preferences>Sound you can set the input and output ports separately.
Roger, the System setting have -Nothing- to do with the question being asked. Do you use Logic Pro audio software? If you did you would know Logic has it's own audio settings that run independently from the System audio. There's also the fact that Maverick has problems with "some" older USB 2.0 audio hardware. Basically, this is not a slam-dunk, that's why I suggested asking someone if they've used this combination before. Although... the USB audio device is cheap ($10) it might be worth it to try. Still.............**
** I question the wisdom of using cheap audio hardware on a computer that cost $1000+, software that costs $200 and then using the internal audio chip ($2) and an external monitoring device that costs $10. Defeats the whole purpose of using professional audio software.

FaceTime set Output Device

Hi guys,
this question is not specifically related to Yosemite or Handsoff, but I noticed it the first time trying to make phone calls via FaceTime.
I got a iPhone 5s and a MacBook Pro Retina (Early 2013) – both updated to the latest OS version.
I was trying to use the new feature of iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite to make a phone call via the iPhone.
I've connected a 2.1 Soundsystem via Belkin Dock to my Mac and also a USB Headset.
FaceTime has the possibility to set the audio input device only for this app, but not the output device.
I would like to change the output device for any FaceTime calls (via iPhone or Internet) to the USB headset.
Is there a chance to set the audio in/output device app specific?
I think that it is a common problem, as I cannot imagine that anyone would use the build-in microphone and speakers in any office?!
Of course I searched for the problem, but didn't find anything useful.
Kind regards
caldi

You can get only a single document preview, I think. I have never tried, but I don´t think that is possible.
What you see is not the second document preview, but the last document in the batch, is that right?
You can experiment with the form bundling (bundling the forms when sending them to ADS improves performance), but I don´t think that will help.
Why do you need to do this "mass preview" anyway? Maybe you should create a tool to help the user display these preview. I am close to HR and can imagine a tool, which is used for mass personal profile forms. I would create a simple report, where you click on the line and get the document preview/ profile of the selected person.
Imho if you do the "mass" print/ generation, your task is to be fast and you target on the printer. If you work with a single form, then it is like "user-oriented".

Clicks and popping with recording and USB interface-HELP!!!

I've submitted this twice, got some responses, but has twice been ignored into oblivion. I apologize for the reposts, but this is VERY IMPORTANT, and I've been struggling with this issue for MONTHS now dealing with countless hours of lost time trying to fix it to no avail.
I'll try to include as much detail as possible.
I use:
MacPro 2 x 2.66 Dual-Core Intel Xeon
3 GB memory
Logic Express 8.0.2
245.13 GB empty space on Hard Drive
THE PROBLEM:
When I record, I get computerized clips/pops
http://www.moogiex.com/clickpop.mp3
http://www.moogiex.com/morecackling.mp3
I record via a PreSonus Audiobox USB. This problem did NOT start when I got the AudioBox, but several months after.
When I simply monitor the sound going through the box, the sound is fine.It's something between the Box, and the computer output. My guess is some incompatibility with Logic Express or Core Audio and the AudioBox.
It is NOT the microphone or the cable (the pops occur with anything going in, 1/4", XLR, different inputs).
The clicks START with Logic Express. If there are any recording program open when Logic Express is open, and I record, I get the SAME pops.
It did this both under 10.5.6, 10.5.7, and now 10.5.8.
It is NOT clipping.
When I'm recording with LE:
—There's 1.27 GB of FREE Memory while I'm recording.
—Logic Express is only using 6.7% of CPU while recording (of only one of the four processors), and about 90-95% of CPU space is free on all four processors.
—This happens on ANY audio input, and it doesn't matter how many other tracks, how long it is. I just started a brand new file and it does it.
—This happens when I use ANY input into my computer, but is STARTED by LE.
Here are my Logic Preferences
Core Audio- ENABLED
System Memory Requirement 66.0 MB
Device: AudioBox USB
I/O Buffer Size: 1024
I/O Safety Buffer- UNchecked
Recording Delay: 0 samples
Universal Track Mode- CHECKED
24 Bit Recording- CHECKED
Software Monitoring- CHECKED
Independent Monitoring Level- Checked
Process Buffer Range: Large
ReWire Behavior: Live Mode (Higher CPU Load)
Maximum Scrub Speed: Normal
Scrub Response: Normal
There is *no* driver with PreSonus' AudioBox. It is simply "compatible." Here's what System Profiler says:
AudioBox USB (plugged into my Mac Pro's front bottom port):
Product ID: 0x0301
Vendor ID: 0x194f
Version: 1.08
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: PreSonus Audio
Location ID: 0x00200000
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 500
Here's what I've tried:
—Disabling CoreAudio, shutting LE 8 off, restarting LE 8, enabling CoreAudio again. This worked ONCE. It hasn't worked since.
—Disabling CoreAudio, shutting LE 8 off, SHUTTING DOWN, RESTARTING, opening LE 8, enabling CoreAudio again. This also worked ONCE. It hasn't worked since.
—"CPU Saving Mode"
—I/O Buffer to 256, 512, and 1024 (default) (IMPORTANT?—speed of popping actually INCREASES with larger buffer?)
—I/O Safety Buffer checked and unchecked
—Changing Recording Delay samples
—Pretty much fiddling with any of the controls
—Disabling Airport does nothing (was previously working fine with Airport running)
—Quit all applications, open up QuickTime (pro) or Audacity, and record something. It records perfectly. I go back to LE and the clicks and pops are gone, but only until I use anything with effects, then the clicks and pops return. This works SOMETIMES.
—Reset the preferences, and that has worked ONCE, and then the clicks and pops came back (albeit not as prominent, but they were still there).
—I trashed all files related to Logic and reinstalled. Worked ONCE.
—Restarting does help, but only temporarily, as soon as any pull is put on Logic, the problems return.
—Using a different USB port. I thought this was the solution because the problem shortly went away with regular use of Logic, but problem came back.
—Uninstalling Logic, Reinstalling Logic Express, same deal.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP. I have a lot of money sunk into all this equipment that's practically useless with this recording issue.

Man, I feel for you on this.
I would love to see what your pops and clicks look like in your waveform. If you can take a snapshot of it and post the pic here that might help the diagnosis.
Your audio files certainly SOUNDS like you have a clocking problem. It really sounds like your CoreAudio driver/MacPro and your USB interface are not locked up in sync - as in: which is master and which is slave? I know some interfaces include a software control panel that allows you to set the status of the interface clock to slave to the computer or to be the master. It sounds like yours doesn't come with drivers but is there any control panel for this Presonus device?
Another place to check is in Applications>Utilities>Audio Midi Setup
On the left under "Properties for <your interface>" what does it say for the clock source?
Also in this panel, to the right it should have a button for "configure device". What happens when you click it? For example in my case it automatically launches my Apogee Duet Maestro control panel. In your case it might launch something similar, although I think you mention that you never installed anything, which I find strange to begin with - that this thing should just work out of the box with no driver at all.
I've struggle with w similar problem with my Apogee Duet, although nothing of this magnitude, maybe 4 or 5 clicks per 3 minutes of audio and these turn out to always be sample drops where 5-10 samples in a row are all the same in the waveform, as if my interface and computer stopped talking for a milli second. I did find that if my Apogee Duet was chosen as the default or system output in the Audio Midi Control Panel I mentioned above then the clicking was more frequent, as if choosing the audio interface for any system output caused a conflict with choosing it for Logic. I thought this was strange but you might want to investigate that further too.
At any rate, it does sound like a digital clock syncing issue to me by the sound of your audio. What effect does changing the sample rate of the recording have on the problem?
Let me know if any of this leads to anything.
