Setting up for vocal recording in Logic???

I'd liek to record vocals in logic where the vocalist can hear the backing track and their vocal in the headphones.
I have a digi design 002 rack and a small spirit mixing desk.
I was wondering what the best way to go about this would be re: routing of outputs/busses/how to setup fold back with no latency
Thanks

Mac Mini for audio recording using LOGIC X

Has anyone had experience using the latest Mac mini for audio recording? I'm thinking of purchasing the 2.6GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x8GB 1TB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm model. I'll be using Logic X along with Reasons, Wave, UA plugins with a Apollo I/O I'd appreciate any feedback and or suggestions.

I'd work off of another hard drive as much as possible. Install the applications to your boot drive, but keep your data on a separate external hard drive. If you try to run OS, apps and big audio data off of that 5400, I foresee performance issues even with 16GB of RAM. Also, don't forget a second external hard drive for your backups.

Setting period for MM record (about invalid period)

Hi,Experts!
I create a new company code "Y001" and try to assign MM periods to the company code.
When I try to customize MM period using t-cds,MMPI and OMSY, but I take the error "You have entered an invalid period for company code Y001" in both of them.
Now I set :
･Fiscal year variant(t-cd:OB29/OB37): V3
･Variant for open posting periods: Y001
･Open and close posting periods: Y001 ＋ 02 2009 12 9999 2 2009 12 9999 ADMIN
I try to set:
･Material Management view on company codes(OMSY or MMPI):2009 02
Do you have knowledge of the error? And What's an invalid period?
I am just starting to study ECC, so I have only poor knowledge about it.
Thanks.

Hi,
First goto OBBP t.code and choose your company code and check what is the posting period variants, then goto OKKP t.code and choose your company code and click details button , where you can find fiscal year variant , if it is V3 means april - march.
Now check in OB52 t.code choose your posting period variant (which is in OBBP) check the period open, it must be 02-2009.

Loop a query and set variables for each record

Hi
I have a query - produces two records: such as below for
columns Addon & Status
Incidents 1
TimeManagement 1
I would like to loop through these to produce two session
variables
Session.Incidents and Session.TimeManagement with Status
being the value
I could fix these but possibly there will be more recrods
returned in the future and I'd like to make it dynamic.
Really appreciate any help.

Best output option for video when doing adr and vocal recording?

I know this topic has come up before on occasion but I wanted to bring it up to hopefully reach a final conclusion.
Does anyone know the best configuration to use for ADR and other vocal recording in Logic when the mic and screen are in a separate room? The options I've seen so far are:
- Send video via DV firewire to a converter box and then to a monitor. With limited firewire ports already in use for the audio interface and dsp units, has anyone tried daisy chaining or using a firewire hub for dv output to a monitor?
or
- Use a DVI splitter to run to a 3rd LCD monitor(as a 2nd one is already in use) so the regular 'video window' could be dragged across to appear on the vocalist/actor's monitor.
These are the only choices I've seen seen so far but if anyone has any other's or recommendations on which of these to go for, I'd love to hear them.
Cheers

Setting Color for Records in forms6i

Dear All
How can I set color for particular records on a form. i.e. Set the color of all employees whose salary is greater than 2000 to Red and All the rest to Green
Solomon

Hello,
6i is an old version and I don't remember if there is a Set_Item_Instance_Property() built-in. If yes, you can use it with a Visual Attribute that held the colors.

The set up sounds like it would work fine, but what do you intend to record, a full band during live performances, or home recording guitar and vocals over some MIDI bass/drums/keyboard tracks?
You may want additional input channels to have better control of the mix if you intend to record a full band and need to isolate the different instruments/vocals.
You can always use a mixer board and just record from the line-outs of the PA if you are happy with the live mix. The MacBook has 2-channel (Stereo left/right) audio inputs built-in. So you really only need the FW input box if you lack a PA system or other mixer and want the flexibility of added simultaneous track recording. So, I guess it depends if you think you might need additional vocal channels and instruments, then maybe consider a mixer board with more inputs. Check the specs to see how many simultaneous independent inputs are sent to the computer.
The computer and software should do the trick. I haven't used Logic, just played around with Garage Band and an older version of Cubasis.

Lookup Data For Each Record of Result Set

I'm trying to determine if the following task is possible in BPEL and how to implement it.
Assume I have two DB Adapters returning data from two different databases.
The first excepts no inputs returns 5 records in a collection looking somewhat like the following.
Order ID, Item ID
1, 2
2, 1
3, 1
4, 2
5, 3
The second accepts an Item ID as input and returns the description for that item.
I would like the output of the BPEL Process to look like this.
Order ID, Item ID, Item Desc
1, 2, Computer
2, 1, Desk
3, 1, Desk
4, 2, Computer
5, 3, Lamp
I'm new to BPEL and I'm assuming this will involve invoking the first db adapter link and then iterator through the result set calling the second db adapter link for each record but I'm not sure where to start. I'm hoping someone can give me a simple example that I can play with. I've looked at How to iterate through multiple records read from a file adapter? and How to pass a single element in an array to XSL from BPEL but I'm getting lost.
Thanks

I just got it working in the BPEL for-each loop by creating a variable of type Order which I then assigned the results from that loop and then appended them to my output variable. I'd be interested in seeing how I could do that within a transformation if its quicker. How do I append in a transformation so that I can add the row after each loop.
Here is the BPEL so far.
I will note that I think just fetching a complete copy of both data sources and merging wouldn't be ideal as my items table could contain a million records or more and I'm only wanting to fetch the ones I'm interested in.
Thanks

Best all-purpose condensor mic for recording with Logic

Hey everyone,
I'm just about ready to purchase Logic Pro and a MOTU Traveler and I am on the prowel for the best all-purpose condensor mic to record with ($500-650 is my budget).
I would like to be able to record vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, primarily. Does anyone have suggestions? Thank you.

it's going to be hard to find a good mic that is well suited to all 3 of those applications. Sure you can find stuff that will "work" on anything, and for that I would definately look at the Rode mics. But if you are willing to save up a bit more I would highly recommend the following:
Rode NTK for vocals
Peluso CMEC-6 small diaphragm condensers (about $580 for a matched pair) - these are amazing acoustic gtr, drum overheads, etc. mics. Also, I've used them for electric guitar cabinets and they sound great there too.
SM57 for electric guitar
These 4 mics will give you a lot of options. For instance:
vocal/acoustic gutiar together (NTK and Pelusos)
Electric guitar (SM 57 on speaker cone with either a Peluso a few inches away from the speaker or NTK a couple of feet away for body)
Drums (NTK a couple of feet off of kit, Pelusos as overheads, 57 on snare, which would actually give you a really great drum sound in a good room with a good kit)
Obviously this is almost twice your budget. You could start out with the NTK if the vocals are most important to you, or the pelusos if acoustic gtr is most important, and add on the other mics later. The 57 is super cheap and really needs to be in anyone's mic locker. I also recommend an old Shure 545 which is the predecessor to the 57. You can find them on ebay for under $50 (make sure that you get the low-z version with XLR connector, not the high-z with 1/4" connector) and they sound like a 57 but a bit warmer and smoother. They are really great electric guitar mics.

SB Audigy 2ZS Plarinum Pro: setting source for recording

Hello!
I am having problems setting the source for recording. I want to set the recording source from 'Wave' (default) to 'Line-In /Mic'. After doing so with the mixer or the MediaSource Player it resets to 'Wave' after some time. Why? Can I force the software to make 'Line-In /Mic' the default setting? It really dri'ves me nuts to see that the source has changed without me being notified. I want to have the source changed only by myself and not by some cozmic radiation, God's will, voodoo magic and whatnot.
Greetings
ClustalW

<Re: SB Audigy 2ZS Plarinum Pro: setting source for recording? Okay ClustalW, I understand the "Default" problem you are having. So can you go to control panel, and sound and there look at your recording devices and tell me what do you see? If your desired device is there, you can choose it as the default and then throughout the rest of windows, this will be THE global default recording device or the first choice, when you are in other programs to record from. Also, make sure your device is plugged in when making this change. On my system with that board, a few years ago, I could make the choice, but it would always pick something else when the source was unplugged. For example, if I were using the front bay inputs as recording, when I would unplug them and reboot, my system picked the next thing as default.
Next go into to your Creative Control panel and do the same thing there. Theoretically your choices should be linked, but this is not always the result. I can choose mine in Vista and windows 7, but lastly I always go to the Creative mixer applet and do it there and that works best. For me, my default is my front panel Mic or Microphone FP but as soon as I unplug it, it wants to make my back mic jack the default.

Unable to set parent context for this record.

Has anyone seen this error when doing an import? In my case I was doing an import to the Opportunity Product record.
the full error message is
Unable to set parent context for this record. Please make sure that the parent record is valid and you have permission to modify the parent record.
I was attempting to populate one field on the record with data.

Hi,
Was there a resolution to this that you found, cause it's driving me crazy.
We've resorted to manually created a product in OnDemand with an EUI and exported it but we can't reimport it to overwrite it as we get the same error message "Unable to set parent context for this record"
The opty and the product both exist as they got manually created, although when you export them there are now 2 of them (I see this in reporting as well????)
Besides the Opty-Product External ID what else is required to do an import to overwrite?
regards
Alex

Displaying long text maintained for selected set codes in result recording

Hi Gurus,
I have maintained qualitative mic.For this mic i have defined selected set codes & for these selected set codes i have maintained long text.
My client requirement is that this long text should be visible while doing result recording for the mic.Is this possible.
Regards
Amit

How can they expect that? Long text can be... well.. long....... How can you include that on the same screen as results recording. What if you have 5 charac with long text? What if each selected set choice has long text and you had two choices for each? That's ten sections of long text on one screen? Impossible.
Printing the long text on the cert shouldn't be a problem. You just have to get someone to code it into the layout set.

How to set Display Only for some records in CAT2 Worklist

Hi,
I have a requirement to modify an attributes for some records in the Worklist of CAT2.
We have an external system where we book our time. Weekly we import data from that external system into CATSDB using BAPI for every single employee.
We would like when the user wants to modify his time sheet to be able to add/modify all records except those which were imported from the external system. Which means that those records should be in Display only mode / grayed out / before release.
Is there any user exit or BADI that could help to modify that attribute and that will be triggered before displaying the Worklist ?
Please advise !
Thanks,
Stefan

I've solved the problem.
First I've added customer field in CI_CATSDB structure and when I am importing the data I am populating that field with 'X', which means that this is record from the external application.
I've created enhancement implementation in Function group->CATS, screen->2003 MODULE->D2000_MODIFY_LOOP, subroutine->modify_d2000_loop where I am checking the field mentioned above if it is 'X' I am modifying the screnn-output = off.
It works, thak you for your help.
Regards,
Stefan

How to get a good vocal sound with Logic Pro 9

I apologize for the ignorance of this question, but I am really looking to figure out a way to get my vocals to sound the way I would like them to sound, but I'm not really sure where to start.
I started out using Garageband years ago, and really like the vocal setting of "Live Performance" when I went to real instrument/vocal. It had a sound that I liked, and I didn't have to go to a lot work to achieve it. When I went to Logic Pro 9 a while back I saw that they had the Garageband setting of Live Performance, but it really didn't sound the same, so I ended up starting songs in Garageband, and then importing them into Logic Pro.
I would really like to move on and be able to set up vocals from scratch, and put in different inserts and play around with different sounds to experiment with for vocals. Does anyone have any advice on learning inserts to use, and perhaps a tutorial video they might suggest that could help educate me on this?
I don't even know if you should start with Compressor, then Chan EQ. Perhaps someone might be able to steer me in the right direction. Thanks so much.

Klunde, you are missing out the most vital parts in your post. A vocal chain for recording is:
You (your voice) - Microphone - Mic Pre - (perhaps hardware compressor, perhaps not) - (perhaps hardware eq, perhaps not) - then finally what you are recording into.
The source is the single biggest influence on what you need to do in the mix regardless of what you are recording into. In our case here, it happens to be Logic. My own vocal chain changes depending on what i am aiming to achieve and this carries through to the mix. On one song I may use a blue face 1176 plugin if required and on another a CL1B etc. Both sound great but both sound different and there are a myriad of ways to use each one. The same goes for EQ's and reverbs. But what you need for all of this is a great source. Get this right and your mixes and decisions will be a lot easier and your desired results faster to achieve.
So what is your source for your vocals?
After this it is all down to taste. For example, a compressor going into an eq sounds different from an eq going into a compressor. Neither one is right or wrong. Experience and experimentation will tell you which you want to use for a particular song. Top mixer Chris Lord-Alge uses lots of compression on everything. Top mixer Bruce Swedien is notorious for using virtually none. Both consistently mix great records and both have spent a life time honing their art and skill set. Experiment but get your recording chain right which means choosing the right kit for your vocal and gain staging everything properly.

Table cntrol field to be display/Change only For each record

Hi all,
How to set a particular Field in table control either as display only or
change only for each row based on certain condition.I need to set this property for each record in table control not for the entire coloumn?.I know the procedure for setting up an entire coloumn in table control either as diplay or change only using Loop at screen statement.
Conditions:
If Material is batch managed:
itab-batch field has to be Display only mode.
if material is not batch managed:
itab-batch field has to be change mode.
O/p of Table Control :
Material Batch
1000 Display only
2000 Change only
8000 Change only
3500 Display only
3600 Display only

Hi Ravi,
 Thanks for your reply.I have put the code as u said. It is modifying the whole coloumn insted of modifying Current row of the coloumn.
I have tried to modify the screen property using Table control attributes (TC-COLS).The following commented code is that logic.Even that also doing the same thing.Can yoy please tell me how to do it.
MODULE tc_get_lines OUTPUT.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
 IF screen-name = 'X_ZPINV-CHARG'.
 IF fg_batch = ' '.
 screen-input = 0.
 ELSE.
 screen-input = 1.
 ENDIF.
 ENDIF.
 MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP AT tc-cols INTO tc_wa
