So What's the Consensus on USB Interfaces with Logic?

Digidesign's new ELEVEN Rack has a coreaudio driver and therefore can be used as a main interface. This is good news for those who like to use both Logic and Pro Tools, perhaps depending on the project, or to track in Logic and mix in PT.
But, Digi has chosen to make the Eleven Rack a USB interface. Some people on the DUC are not pleased about this and claim this will mean low track counts and all manner of horrors. I worry about it too. Digi went from the Mbox which was USB to the MBOX II Pro which is Firewire, and Ensemble and all the other top interfaces are firewire. Digi's answer seems to be that Firewire is going the way of the buffalo.
Does anyone have any real data on whether a USB interface will result in poorer perfomance?
Thanks
Tom

As FW is approx 5x faster than USB It will mean lower track counts, but as the Eleven rack is a guitar processor, I'm sure Digi aren't marketing it as a multitrack audio interface.
FTR: I went and had a listen to the Eleven and I wasn't all that impressed to be honest, the new Logic amp designer and pedals are far more realistic.

PB12.5 Classic - What is the best path to interface with MS Outlook

I am sure this topic has been covered but darn if I can find anything on it.
My client is moving over to MS Outlook. Not sure at this point if its going to be just an exchange server or outlook 365. I am trying to figure out what the best path would be to interface to it.
Using: PowerBuilder 12.5 Classic (no access to vb development)
What functionality is needed...
Need to be able to access emails including attachments. Need to have option to send in HTML format so MAPI connection may not be feasible.
Need to have access to the calendar to view/edit meetings/appointments including viewing users availability (Busy search).
     Must also be able to know if users accept/reject meeting requests.
Looking for the best direction... use exchange web service api.... smtp...ole...etc..
Was directed to look into using Exchange Web Services managed API but unfortunately not able to figure out how to connect to it using PB12.5 classic, all examples I can find use C# or VB.
Note: The application that would run this runs on PC's and thin clients.
If there is a best direction could someone point me to some sample code/tutorial/whitepaper etc.. on how best to proceed it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to all that reply
Dave V.

I have an example of using OLE Automation with Outlook:
http://www.topwizprogramming.com/freecode_outlook.html
I also have an EMailSMTP example that can be used to send email. Now that we have switched to Outlook365 we started having sporadic issues. Now we used the paid version of the SMTP control at AspEmail.com - Free Secure ASP Mail Component for an ASP and ASP.NET Environment.
The paid version is required for TLS secure connections. Since PB is 32bit, make sure you use the 32bit version.
OLEObject oleMail
String ls_html, ls_file
Integer li_rc
// create Mail object
oleMail = Create OLEObject
li_rc = oleMail.ConnectToNewObject("Persits.MailSender")
If li_rc < 0 Then
MessageBox("Process", "Persits.MailSender failed: " + String(li_rc))
Return
End If
// build the body
ls_html = "<html><body>"
ls_html += "<p>This is a test!</p>"
ls_html += "</body></html>"
// email the file
oleMail.RegKey   = "xxxxx"
oleMail.Host     = "smtp.office365.com"
oleMail.Username = "xxxxx"
oleMail.Password = "xxxxx"
oleMail.Port     = 587
oleMail.TLS      = True
oleMail.From     = "[email protected]"
oleMail.Subject = "A test of Persits.MailSender from PowerBuilder"
oleMail.IsHTML   = True
oleMail.Body     = ls_html
oleMail.AddAddress("[email protected]")
oleMail.Send()
oleMail.DisconnectObject()
MessageBox("Process", "Complete!")

What is the significance of Marker interface? Why are we using, even though

What is the significance of Marker interface? Why are we using, even though it has no method?

Well, what's the significance of an interface? They can define a set of methods a class may implement but the class could equally well implement these methods without the interface so why having interfaces at all?
The answer is that the most important aspect of an interface is that it constitutes a type (you can declare variables of it). And it's a type regardless of how many methods it defines, including none. So the reason for having a marker interface is that you're interested solely in the type aspect of interfaces.

What is the use of Marker Interfaces?

What is the use of marker interfaces?
As it is not having any methods or fileds what is the benefit I will get by implementing those interfaces?
Servlet implements SingleThread
What it will do behind the scenes exactly as singleThread model is marker interface

The use of marker interfaces is to act as markers (shock horror)
It is quite a common way to tell a program what a class can/can't do: Cloneable, Serializable etc etc
This doesn't change the functionality of the class itself, but is more an indication as to what can be done with this class.
In this case the servlet container can then tell whether or not it implements the interface, and can treat it accordingly. Implementing this interface tells the container you want it to run this servlet in singleThreaded mode.
Thats all there is to it.
It would be along the lines of
Servlet servlet = loadServlet("...")
if (servlet instanceof SingleThreadModel){
// Single threaded servlet - start new process for it
else {
// regular servlet - reuse existing object.

What is the advantages of using Interface?

Hi,
I still don't get what's the advantages of using interface. Reusability? is it the main advantage? thanks in advance.

What is GOF?
Interface is a good program practice when working with RMI (Remote Method Invocation) application. Imagine your anti-virus. When you connect to internet your software invoke a method into your software vendor site and download the new definitions. Now every anti-virus Subscription is different. The method you invoke, will depends on your Subscription. If you hard code the method abstractly, you will not achieve this functionality.
Another concept is that because Java does not practice multile inheritance interface is a goog way to interface into another class.
Example
I want to extends to multiple class which java do not support. I will write an interface i.e I want to extends to FileOutputStream, OutputStream, Object, Integer, String, ActionEvent, Window etc.
I will write an interface like this
interface MyClass {
pulic void setFileOutputStream ( FileOutputStream file );
public void setOutputStream ( OutputStream );
public Object getObject ( );
public Seriable getInterget ( )
------------------- //You get the gist
With this interface you can implement they behaviours
You could say, why don't we just import them. When yo import them you have already hard coded there behaviour. But this way you can apply diferent behaviour throughout you application development. And any class that implement them must provide ways of using it.

What is the best powered usb hub to run with 3 external hard drivers with high speedy?

Hi guys
I have a mac book pro, and I use 3 external hard disk, and 1 usb mouse and some times a sync my iphone and my ipad... It's really boring manage all this usb connections. I bought a usb at dealextreme http://www.dealextreme.com/customerphotos/quarantined/201102/33189-94cc49b0-fb06 -4b58-abf5-ea5fab06c803.jpg but i doesnt work proprely, the hard drivers keep disconnecting. I think its because of the power source, that is not enough to keep all those devices running. I`m whiling to buy a hub that keep all hard drives connected properly all the time.

What is the best external hard drive with MacBook Pro

What is the best external hard drive with MacBook Pro?

I agree with Allan, and that link is also called OWC, their hard drives are great. Have three of their Mercury Pro Elite 2 TB quad interface drives. They will connect eSATA, Firewire 800 & 400, USB2, so broad reange of options. Drives seem to come Mac HFS formatted, but I always reformat and partition the drives. Service and quarantees are top notch.
They offer a wide range of drives/drive systems so like Allan said, spend some time seeing what the have.

Not too hot about the jazz the Apple drum loops, does anyone know of a good drum software to interface with logic? Or, a loops source to get quality brush samples.

Logic has no decent jazz brushes in there drum loops!! What to do???

Hi j232..for interfacing drum i would suggest Superior drummer 2.0. It has all the loops u want plus it keeps getting the expansion packs (i mean u have to buy it )which are genre based so as of now it has everything from vintage kits to new age. Also it says on the site(toontrack.com) that its tested with logic.
I used it in mixcraft on my PC. and it was very easy, real and satisfying for me. Ordered it now for my new mac to interface with logic pro.
hope that helps
cheers

Suggestions on firewire/usb interfaces with 16ch of adat lite pipe

hey guys,
I recently bought an rme fireface 800 and am not too happy with it. looking for a firewire or usb interface with at least 16 channels of adat. can't use any pci options like 2408 because slots are full.
thanks
ej

convertors on the fireface aren't anywhere close to my apogee stuff, digi 192 or the da convertor on the presonus central staion for that matter. did small shoot out between fireface vs apogee da16 vs central station. Fireface was by far the worst of the bunch. Thought it was just me and called a friend who has a ff and a cs. he said the that ff sounded like "pooh: running analog through the central station but sounded great being connected directly to speakers. all of my other convertors sound great coming through the cs (digi 192, apogee trak 2, apogee da 16) but fireface doesn't. all were clocked off of apogee big ben and all were using moogami or monster cable. So the logical conclusion would be that the fireface d/a convertor aren't that good.
In thinking about it maybe the fireface might only sound good when it is using its own clock and doesn't like big ben (I haven't tried that yet). I suppose I could reconfigure things so that when I'm using logic the fireface is the master for everything but I run pt and logic at the same time and would rather not.
It just seems to be a waste to only use the fireface for it's 16ch of adat and routing matrix...but it looks like I might not have a choice.
any insights, comments or suggestions are welcome.
thanks,
ej

What's the advantage of MainStage 2 over Logic 9?

What's the advantage of MainStage 2 over Logic 9? Is MS 2 lower latency or quicker to switch 'presets'. I'm wondering what the absolute lowest latency is with a fast new mac running only Amp Designer & a few other Logic plugins, and the quickest switching time/dropout between 'presets' would be?
If you have any idea, pray tell! :o)
Thanks

I don't think there's any particular computer processing advantage of one over the other; the main goal of Mainstage is to provide an interface for Logic's functionality that's useful for live performance (easier to see, easier to manipulate real-time control, easier to set up for an onstage performance with hardware instruments, easier to switch in a live context between instruments or patches, etc.).
If you've used Ableton Live at all, or read about it, in some ways Mainstage is more comparable to Ableton; however, they're still very different. Ableton is much more heavily loop-based, and as someone knowledgeable has said, is almost a kind of instrument unto itself. Mainstage, in my opinion, is more of an interface reorganization of what Logic offers -- an excellent one at that, but with different goals from Ableton.

What is the best way to work with Word documents in The InDesign CS4???

I work in Microsoft Word 2007 and all my documents have *.doc format.
What is the best way to work with Word documents in InDesign CS4???
David Blatner says to avoid copying and pasting text from Word instead of placing it (Ctrl+D).
How about pasting RTF or Text Document???
I want to make book's layout in ID CS4 and its main feature is that there is the left page with text and the right - with graphics.
So, as I understand to place the text on each page I must create for example 70 Word documents and place each item on 70 left pages???
It loks like wasting time. I sthere another way of making such layout??? What kind????

It's best to place any text.
You can have all of your text in one file and use auto-flow to add threaded text frames and pages as required (Hold down the Shift key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it's a little non-standard to have the thread only on one side of the spread from the auto-flow perspective, so you'll have to set up properly.
This is one case where a master text frame will work to your advantage. On your master page spread, add a text frame to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not threaded to one on the right -- for some other project you might actually want two independent text threads). Hold the loaded cursor over a frame on the left side of a document page and auto-flow. ID will add new spreads as necessary, but only put the text on the left side.

What's the best way to deal with floating point errors?

What's the best way to deal with the decimal number errors in Flex?
Lets say I have:
var number1:Number = 1.1;
var number2:Number = 1;
var result:Number = number1 - number2;
trace(result);
I get "0.10000000000000009".
What's the best way to deal with this so that i get the right result?
Using the trick: result = Math.round( result * Math.pow(10,13) ) / Math.pow(10,13); is not useful as such when using big numbers.
For example, If number1 = 100000000001.1, and number2 = 0.2, I get "100000000000.90001" as result. The previous rounding fixes rounding errors after 13th decimal, but here the first rounding errors come after 4 digits.
The toPrecision method in Number and NumberFormatter dont seem be of use by themselves because of the same reason.
So I'd have to check how big the number is, and then round the number based on that.
So far I've constructed a method that does that with logarithms like this:
public function floatFix(number:Number):Number{
      var precision:int = 14-Math.floor(Math.log(Math.abs(number))*Math.LOG10E);
      var precisionFactor:Number = Math.pow(10, precision);
      return Math.round(Number(number*precisionFactor))/precisionFactor;
It just seems rather odd that one would have to create and use something like that to just count 1.1-1; There's a lot of calculating in that method, and i'm guessing that having to use that in a loop could slow down a program quite a bit.
I think there really should be a pre-built method in flex for something like this, but I can't find any.
Anyone know any better/faster ways?

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2.
I have heard of memory leak in OS that too because of some external application or rouge drivers SQL server 2008 R2 if patched to latest SP and CU ( may be if required) does not leaks memory.
Are you in opinion that since SQL is taking lot of memory and then not releasing it is a memory leak.If so this is not a memory leak but default behavior .You need to set proper value for max server memory in sp_configure to limit buffer pool usage.However
sql can take more memory from outside buffer pool if linked server ,CLR,extended stored procs XML are heavily utilized
