Shall I buy a 3D television for live performances???

Couple of day back I got an idea to buy a 3d TV for watching live performances; at times its bit hard to book the tickets on time and hence, we missed out many of the live concert due to the unavailability of tickets. In near future we are planning to join few of the concerts listed below:
1. GMA concert series.
2. 2012 Toyota concert series
How many of you would advise me to buy 3D TV for doing the same? I thought as per the advertising statements if we bought any good 3d TV we could feel our programs as real, isn’t?

I prefer my LG passive 3d TV for watching sports as live and you want it for live concerts then again it’s a similar thought like mine. Take some demos of LG LM series TV. They offer exceedingly bright PQ with high refresh rate with almost negligible input lag. These models have sound zooming feature too which will make you feel your concerts as good as live, you would feel like as if a singer is performing right in front of you. I have experienced LGs sound zooming feature and it was breathtaking!
Has LG fixed the color accuracy issues on their LM series yet? The OOTB presets on this series are way off.  Both the 7600 and the 9600 seem to have the same problem:

Let's not even get into the wishy washy blacks and the lovely halo effect on the 9600 caused by the low number of LED in the back.

  • Can you set up a template for live performance in GarageBand for iPad Air?

    II'm trying to set up a template for live performance using GarageBand on my iPad Air. Can anyone advise? Thanks.

    QuickTime is AppleScript aware and has its own "dictionary". Many scripts and droplets have already been compiled and you can download them from this link:
    http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime/
    Some need further editing to update them to version 7 features but it's not difficult using the Script Editor app.
    Tiger's new Automator app could also be used but its feature set is rather basic. Newer actions are available for download from the Mac OSX Downloads page.

  • Using Garageband for live performances

    I would love to hear from anyone who uses GB for live performances. I'm especially interested in how you store and play your music; ie direct from your computer drive, on flash card or thumb drive etc. I'm a one man show with guitar, flute, and keyboard. I'm really new at this and any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Hey Gillermo... I might have to eat my words. I had a good think about this last night and I have come up with a plan. Just shooting from the hip and so might need some refinement, but here goes...
    The problem as I saw it with Garageband was two fold...
    1. how to lay out several songs or groups of pre recorded tracks and tracks with effects on them for my vocal and guitar and
    2. lack of an easy to use controller of some sort that worked with GB to minimize mouse use, speed up transfer/choosing between songs and organize my set layout with a structure of some sort.
    As a result of mucking around with my Korg NanoKontrol and using the plugin for GarageBand, I can now envision a logical system for using GB for Live performance as a one person show.
    The NanoK has the ability to control 8 tracks at a time. You have use of Volume, Pan, Mute, Solo as well as the transport buttons when using scene number 1 on the NK. It has the ability to scroll through groups of 8 tracks at a time with dedicated buttons on fader bank 9.
    As a simple example, lets take 4 tracks 1. a track dedicated to vocal with some effects on it to taste 2. a track dedicated to guitar with some effects to taste 3. prerecorded bass track (file bounced down to mp3 or similar) and 4. a drum/percussion track set up like track 3.
    Now what you have is the use of 4 tracks for your performance ( there are a few other options though). Now if you load tracks 5-6 with the bass and drums of another song and 7-8 with the tracks of yet another song you now have 3 songs you can play/sing from the first fader bank set. These are all visible on the laptop screen.
    Now thinking in groups of 8 tracks, the 2nd set of 8 tracks (tracks 9-16) is set up in a similar way with tracks 9-10 duplicates of 1-2 (vox & guitar) and 3 sets of bass and drums (or what ever). You would name each set of bass and drum tracks with the name of the song so you could always find out where you are. You could also apply instrument icons for easier identification.
    So starting with fader bank 1 and tracks 1-4 un muted, you would have muted all the other tracks in the entire set ( before you started your show obviously). Hit play, sing your song... hit stop. Hit rewind, mute tracks 3-4, un mute tracks 5-6, hit play when ready and away you go with song No.2. Repeat for song 3. Once you have completed these 3 songs and made sure all of the tracks are muted via the Nano, press the button that moves the controls to the next set of 8 tracks or 3 songs.
    Now in terms of performance there would be some trial and error needed to find out how big the project file could be before there were computer performance issues. I read somewhere there was an upper limit of approx 240 tracks in GB. In reality you would be thinking in terms of how many songs there are in your sets. So in this scenario if you had 15 songs in each set you would only need 40 tracks or 5 sets of 8 fader banks.
    To minimize performance issues with projects getting on the large side, in between your sets you could close the project with set one in it and open the project file with set 2 in it.
    A couple of other layout options would be to use an entire bank of faders for each song. You could have between 5-8 tracks usable per song. You could have a combination of audio, .wav/mp3, electric guitar and software instrument tracks. Simply go through the mute/unmute process as you scroll through your songs.
    You could also lock/unlock the odd track for another level of performance optimization, but you would have to use the mouse pad for this as it can't be done via the NK.
    The pro's for this type of system are
    1. Complete control of mixing vol & pan for the venue you are in
    2. Very simple control at your finger tips, 2 or more faders at a time, limited mouse use
    3. A logical frame work to create your sets.
    4. You can stay in GarageBand, no need for another software program.
    5. Very cheap investment.
    The Con's would all revolve around your computer spec's.
    1. Max out your RAM.
    2. Be selective with effects
    3. System HD speed.
    Note, I am assuming my vox and guitar are going through and audio interface with outs to an amp or PA of some sort.
    I am going to have to try this out. I really DO NOT LIKE Ableton Live. It is heavy on CPU and gets really deep very quickly. If this works then I will have an Live Serial# for sale.

  • Video with stereo track and click track for live performance

    Hello,
    I have a video that was created in FCP sync'd with a stereo sound track and a click track. I need to play this video live (using projection) with the stereo track routed to the main outs and the click routed to the in-ear monitors for a performer to sync with. I have not done this before and am trying to wrap my brain around it. I'm also hoping to come up with the easiest and most reliable solution. As I understand it, this video will not be able to play back from a burned DVD, but rather will need to play back in Logic with 2 audio tracks (L/R) for the sound track and then 1 track for the click. These 3 tracks can then be routed to their required destinations from a soundcard or mixer.
    Does this seem to be the best and most reliable method? I've only burned audio to video (never using a click) in FCP before and have always played back from a DVD. Now I have this live player/syncing component and am not sure of the best way to do it. I have some experience with Logic, but limited.
    I really appreciate any suggestions/tips any one might have.
    Thanks.

    I've opened the movie (with stereo track) in QT Pro and then added the click - and now the 2 audio files are there, sync'd up.
    When you say you opened the movie in QT Pro, I assume you mean the QT Pro version of Quicktime Player 7. So let's say you have the movie open in Quicktime Player 7, and you press ⌘J (Window > Show Movie Properties). And in the window that appears, hopefully you see several items listed, including Sound Track 1 and Sound Track 2. These are your two audio files, that are now part of the movie file. One of those files is your stereo soundtrack, and the other is your click. So let's assume that this is a total of 3 channels of sound (because I understand your click is mono).
    Select Sound Track 1, and select the tab Audio Settings. Let's assume this is the stereo soundtrack. In the scrolling area at the bottom right of the window, under the heading Assignment, you should see Left and Right. Let's leave it that way.
    Now select Sound Track 2. Under Assignment, there should be just one item listed (that is, there is only one channel in this Sound Track, if the click is mono). Under Assignment, it probably says Mono. Change that to Center.
    Save the movie. We're done with Quicktime Player for now. Launch Audio MIDI Setup. It's here:
    Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup
    I assume you have an audio interface connected that supports at least 3 channels. In AMS, find the window (or tab, depending on your OS version) for Audio Devices. Select your audio interface. Select the Output tab, and press the button Configure Speakers. In the window that appears, select Multichannel, and change the menu selection from Stereo to 5.1 Surround.
    You will probably see that "left front," "right front," and "center" are assigned to outputs 1, 2 and 3, respectively, of your audio interface. If not, make it so, and press the button Apply.
    Now when you play your movie, the stereo soundtrack will appear at outputs 1 and 2 of your audio interface, and the click will appear at output 3. Now you can cable your stereo mains to 1/2 and your in-ear monitors to 3.

  • What shall i buy MBA or MBP for 4years

    recently the macbook air has been updated and i was wanting a latop that will last me for 4 years (my old intel core 2 duo lasted for 3 years).
    the following specs that i am configuring for macbook air 13" is, 1.8Ghz i7, 4GB RAM, 256GB flash storage
    the following specs that i am configuring for macbook pro 13" is, 2.7Ghz i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD
    the only difference i find is the MBA is undervolted, Hi-Resolution 1440x900, faster SSD
    the difference i find in the MBP is HD camera and more ports including SuperDrive
    please help me choose the correct one because i want a notebook that will last me for 4 years.
    money is no issue since i have already got spare 4GB RAM and 256GB SSD

    While I love my Air, and believe such a machine could easily last 4 years, I suspect that you probably want the Pro. Why? Well, because you can upgrade it if you need to.
    You don't say what you're going to be doing on this computer. I knew, when I got my 11" Air, that even in four years I'd probably wouldn't need a larger hard drive or more RAM. I knew this because over the years I've simplified my life and I'm not putting everything on my computer the way I used to; I delete more stuff, and keep big files on an external drive. Except for upgrades, I don't put on new programs, etc. I also knew that I'd be doing more traveling and needed lighter and slimmer--so, looking to the future, an Air was right for me.
    But if you're not doing that, if it looks like in four years you'll need something to handle bigger programs and keep plenty of data at your fingertips, then you want the Pro, for sure. Because even if you don't get enough now, you can upgrade it later, have it meet your growing and changing needs. You can't do that with the Air. What you get now is what you'll have four years later, whether or not you feel it's gotten too slow or too small for you needs. That's perhaps the biggest and most important difference if you're looking at these computer long-term: You cannot upgrade that Air. What you buy now is what you have for its lifetime.
    The Pro can grow and change with your needs over its lifetime. So, I'd recommend the Pro...unless, of course, you are totally in love with the Air. I always say to default on what you love, as you know you'll be happiest on that

  • Shall i buy anti virus software for my MAC pro lion

    Do I need to install anti-virus software for my Mac pro?

    You do not need any anti-virus for a Mac.
    Do not download any software from the web to protect your Mac.
    Apple releases updates that will offer all the protection a Mac needs.
    Keep the software updated.
    Many in this community use ClamXav and recommend using it.

  • About to buy Muse Receptor for live perf/composition. Would like advice...

    Hello folks,
    I'm really considering buying a Muse Receptor mainly for live performance and composition (I still would like to leave music production to a prof. studio).
    I think it is exactly what I'm looking for but I would like to hear experiences from Logic/Mac users who use the Receptor.
    Any issues and personal reviews are welcome.
    Many thanks.

    The problem with this idea is that the batteries in current MBPs are not considered by Apple to be user-replaceable, and removing them voids the warranty. There are external batteries on the market, but they're quite expensive:

    Well, Apple REALLY dropped the ball on this one by omitting user replacement of battery and thereby reducing the user friendliness of current MBPs.
    I guess Apple engineers just didn't have the expertise to come up with an easily replaceable battery, hmmm? If not that then what was their rationale for rendering current MBPs batteries non user replaceable?

  • Best Television for college student with PS3

    Hello Guys,
       I had purchased a 22" 720P Element television back in June for $170(it was a store model on sale), this was my first HD television.  However, many of PS3 games, such as Final Fantasy and GTA:IV are so detailed, that I have to look directly at the television less than 5 feet away in order to see the screen properly, even though I have good vision(I don't need glasses). And yes, I do use an HDMI cable.
         I was thinking of giving this television to my uncle to use as a computer monitor, and buying a larger television for myself, however my budget is about $300-$500.
    Here are my questions for you:
    1.) Considering my budget is about $300-$500(depending on how long I wait to purchase), and that this television will be mainly used to play PS3 games, would there be much point?
    2.) If yes to #1, what should I look for when buying a television? I find the HDTV market slightly confusing, especially with the new monitors with 4 colors(RGBY vs. RGB).

    Within your price range, the only thing you can do is upgrade to a 32" TV.  It sounds like insufficient screen size is probably your problem anyway.
    Really, all you need for gaming is:  Get a good brand for the purposes of reliability and build quality.  LG, Samsung, Sony, Sharp, Toshiba.  Avoid the store brands like Dynex, Insignia, etc.  Avoid the "Formerly big" brands like RCA and Zenith - these brands now exist solely to license their name to noname foreign manufacturers.
    People have had bad experiences with the 120Hz motion processing present in 120Hz TVs, so stick with 60Hz.
    As to the new Sharp Quattron (RGBY) units - It's interesting as to whether there is anything within the x.v.Color colorspace (RGB over HDMI with wide gamut) that can't be representative by traditional RGB pixels.  (RGB is not necessarily always RGB - there are cases where monitors can't display certain RGB triplets, and the yellow pixel in Quattrons may improve this.)  However, the smallest Sharp Quattron is 40", and significantly more expensive than non-Quattron units, about twice your maximum price.

  • What is the best way to plug my iPhone 5 into a mixer for live music performances?

    I'm thinking of performing live with my iPhone 5 or maybe an iPad that I haven't bought yet. What is the best way to get the sound for the device to a mixer or PA? I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with wireless options. I'm wondering if it is stable enough for live performance. There doesn't seem to be any audio interface options yet.

    there is always the 3.5mm minijack out connector sure it's analogue but a cable with male minijack in 1 and and 2 rca in the other would work with most mixers and or pa's

  • Mics (for live use)

    Hi Guys,
    What's the best vocal mic for live performances? Wireless if possible, budgets around £500.00.
    Also need a good reverb for live use, budget s around £300.00 (£400.00 maybe)
    Thanx

    Have a look at one of these:

  • Coreaudiod stack shots freeze audio causing major issues for music performances

    Dear all,
    I've been experiencing a very annoying issue : is several applications (Itunes, Mozilla, Safari, Ableton, etc. - everything that does audio) is get occasional, irregular freezes. The audio would freeze for about 20 sec, videos that are playing would freeze too. After this 20 sec freeze thing continue normally. If for example a track plays in iTunes and freeze at the 1'00" mark, it will continue playing from there after the approx. 20 sec freeze is over.
    Other apps opened in the background (text editor for example) remain functioning.
    The issue is hard to repeat and irregular. I work professionally with audio so this is a nightmare - it ruins recording sessions and I need to be able to count on faultless, stable playback for live  performance.
    OS is 10.8.5 - I cannot upgrade to 10.10 at this moment since my firewire audio interfaces (Mackie Onyx + Motu Ultralite) will most likely not be compatible with the newest mac OS (as stated on the audio interface manufacturer's website).
    Macbook pro model is late 2011, 2,4gHz processor, 8gb Ram
    This issue happens both when using the internal soundcard and when using external audio interfaces.
    Every time this freeze happens,  a list like this appears in console :
    " coreaudiod : Disabled automatic stack shots because audio IO is active"
    " coreaudiod : Disabled automatic stack shots because audio IO is inactive"
    " coreaudiod : Disabled automatic stack shots because audio IO is active"
    " coreaudiod : Disabled automatic stack shots because audio IO is inactive"
    " coreaudiod : Disabled automatic stack shots because audio IO is active"
    " coreaudiod : Disabled automatic stack shots because audio IO is inactive"
    (sometimes the list of enabled-disabled is longer)
    troubleshooting i've tried so far :
    1) I have recently done a clean install of the OS, manually copying the necessary files and installing the applications. I was obliged to do this since my hard disk failed 2 weeks ago and my mac had become very unstable. I've been working on 10.8.5 for a long time and haven't encountered this issue until after the clean install.
    2) updating all necessary firmware
    3) updating adobe flash
    4) creating a com.apple.audio.ServerSettings.plist file  with xcode and placing it in the library/audio folder with this content :
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
      <key>AllowStackShotsDuringIO</key>
      <true/>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    a tip i found here : http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/91297/coreaudiod-spams-system-log-enabl ed-automatic-stack-shots-because-audio-i… After doing this i didn't have the problem for 1 whole day, afterwards the same issue popped up again.
    5) manually quitting the coreaudiod process in activity monitor and restarting - this also seemed to help for a while but didn't last
    Any hints and help are extremely welcome - I need this issue to be solved asap since i need to be able to depend on a stable audio environment for professional reasons.
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    K

    Oh and I also tried :
    * P-Ram reset
    * repairing permissions, verifying disk and hardware diagnostics - no apparent issues there
    thanks

  • General thread about MBs, Q&A for Logic performance, please add more!!

    Dear all,
    How much effect is the integrated graphics card going to have performace-wise with the MacBooks? I have been looking at the black one to replace my PB, or at least I would keep the PB purely for live performance, and have the MB in my mini-studio... Can't wait for the Intel towers for the main studio!! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any idea on the impact of having integrated-graphics on overall performance. Does Logic make much use of this? Obviously for graphic intensive apps, FCS, PS etc, then it will, but for Logic?
    I have a feeling that these could be exciting days... Time for a hardware overhaul, and a BlackBook with 2 gigs RAM could well get the ball rolling. I do expect a massive performance increase between the MB and the PB, but obviously I can't try Logic out on a MB in the Apple Store, so will have to rely on technicalities. I hear that it will contend with a dual 2 G5. With an extra screen, the MB could be a serious contender, ignoring the max RAM allowance. Still, 2 gigs in a laptop is pretty good!
    Also, what about the keyboard? For me, ergonomics are very important, and my PBs keyboard is second to none. I love it. It looks like a very strange design, but does it work?
    Battery life... For live performance, it's very important. Anyone tried running Logic on batteries? I don't connect mine to power supplies at gigs for fear of surges/irregular supply. Much more peace of mind...
    And finally... The famous whine. I know this doesn't really belong in this forum, but is anyone getting it? There is no way at all that I could work with that. From what I hear, people who have it get rid of it by unplugging the power. Not an option really for when you're running Logic for 10 hours a day.
    Sorry for such a long post, but I guess a lot of people would like to know the answers. Equally, if anyone else has any other questions about the MBs, post them here...
    Best, Fred

    The integrated graphics have zero effect on an app like Logic, they don't even make a difference on apps like FCP or photoshop since those are 2d apps and don't use the GPU for acceleration at all.
    It only makes a difference on games and some 3d rendering apps.
    You'll definitely want to max the ram out if you get one. For perfomance comparisons look at the benchmarks posted to this group, I would assume the MB will perform somewhere between the mini duo and the MBP (probably closer to the latter).
