Submixing vs Folders how best to do this.....?

Hey everyone.
I bet some of you know a really good way to do this.
I just finished recording guitars for my band. We did several layers of guitars and for each take we had a 2 mic setup (front of cab and back)
I wanted to be able to blend the two mics so each is recorded onto a seperate track in Logic Express.
Now that all the recording is done and I've adjusted the mix of the 2 mics I want to deal with each take as a single track for the purpose of automation curves and stuff like that.
Is the best (and only) way to do this, to bounce mic 1 and 2 into a sinlge audio file and then just use that file?
Thanks in advance

Is the best (and only) way to do this, to bounce mic 1 and 2 into a sinlge audio
file and then just use that file?
Yes.That way you end up dealing with a combined mono audio file.
Otherwise you can keep them as two files,group the tracks they are on,to edit them and keep their volume relationship.
Cheers

HT4914 I want to transfer my entire iTunes "folder" from a newer iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 machine running iTunes 10.7 to an older iMac running OSx 10.5.8. How best to do this and keep all my data, tags and covers in tact?

I want to transfer my entire iTunes "folder" from a newer iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 machine running iTunes 10.7 to an older iMac running OSx 10.5.8. How best to do this and keep all my data, tags and covers in tact?

Firstly, time to get rid of the 2 x 512MB FBDIMMs in there, they add more heat and use more watts then they add to the system. If you need more, and 4 or 8 DIMMs is ideal, Amazon has 2x2GB sets $22 - about 1/50th what I paid for 1GB new.
Buy a 250GB Samsung EVO SSD $129
Pick up Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com to clone the system to the SSD
A sled adapter for the SSD from Icy Dock $14 Amazon.com
7-8 years overdue for new system drive! amazed it lasted this long. An SSD plus some WD Black 2TB drives or larger should do the trick.
you can also put the SSD in the lower optical drive bay and use one of the two ODD "spare" SATA ports for the SSD - an SSD is the best way to improve the performance of our old Mac Pro 2006-7 models.
When you downloaded the Lion installer that was when to create a flash type installer with Lion DiskMaker.
If you have put in a new-ish graphic card then OS X 10.6.0 may not support it.

Airport Extreme to extend wireless – How best to set this up?

I added an Airport Extreme to my ISP Service provider box in order to extend my home / home office networking capabilities. Currently I have a MBP (May 2010 model) with ethernet & wireless; a PBG4 (Feb 2005 model) with ethernet & wireless; an eMac (Feb 2005 model) with JUST ethernet; and an iPad3 (March 2012) with of course just wireless. But I am not certain that I have set this up optimally. Here's what I have done and if anyone could comment on this it would be greatly appreciated!
I have my ISP's modem "B-box" (which has 2 ethernet ports OUT plus its own Wireless) which I have used the past year. The problem is range for wireless and extending ethernet (via cable) to the 3 levels of the house. So I added an Airport Extreme to solve that issue and believe I am almost there! The house has 3 levels and I will call them Level A (basement, underground); Level B (ground floor) and Level C (upstairs). Without Airport Extreme it is possible to get wireless on on 3 levels, but it drops-out often in my main, office (Level-A) location so that was the incentive to get good wireless everywhere using the Airport Extreme.
Here's my setup today:
ISP "B-box" (as it is called) located on Level B and emits a wireless signal and I have called that SteveBelWiFi     ---There is an ethernet cable that goes down to Level A.
On Level A I have my home office with a MacBook Pro-13" (May 2010) running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. The Ethernet cable from the B-box arrives in my office and is plugged into the WAN port of my new Airport Extreme.
From this Airport extreme I have the following setup: (there are 3 ethernet out ports on the Airport Extreme - 5th generation - most recent model)
Ethernet cable #1 plugged into my MBP
Ethernet cable #2 running to Level C where it is plugged into an eMac (Feb 2005)
A USB cable going from the USB Out port on the Apple Extreme to an unpowered USB hub
From the hub, one USB cable to my Canon MP640 Printer/Scanner*
From the hub, one USB cable to a 300 mb LaCie external Hard Drive
Ethernet cable #3 plugged into the ethernet port of my Canon MP630 Printer/Scanner *(Needed because when one attaches a printer/scanner to the Airport Extreme via USB it can only print, not scan, so I configured the scanner portion of the MP640 to run via ethernet…)
WIRELESS: I used Airport Utility to CREATE A WIRELESS NETWORK (not "extend a wireless network") and so I now have these 2 additional wireless network choices for my Macs or iPad: Steve Airport WiFi     and also via the Airport Extreme:   Steve Airport WiFi 5GHz
What I would prefer is to have ONE wireless choice instead of 3. So I am guessing that I could re-setup the Airport Extreme by choosing "Extend a wireless network" (instead of what I did "create a wireless network") so that the SteveBelWiFi is then simply the ONLY wireless choice. BUT how will this work? The B-box is still emitting a signal on level B -- correct? If I "extend" the wireless, I see that I get to choose an existing wireless so I would choose SteveBelWiFi
WELL NOW I'VE GONE AND MESSED-UP EVERYTHING!!!!!!   Before submitting this questions I decided to try to change to "extend a wireless connection" and I chose the      only to get a warning message that this couldn't be done and then a yellow triangle with an "!" inside next to my Airport Extreme. I did a "factory reset" like this:
To perform a factory default reset on the AirPort Extreme:
First remove power from the Extreme.
Using a paperclip or similar object, depress the reset button, and while still depressed plug the Extreme into power.
Keep the reset button depressed until the status light on the Extreme starts flashing rapidly, and then, release the reset button.
BUT NOTHING-- Airport Utility DOES NOT FIND my Airport Extreme - the only way I can now connect to the internet is to plug-in my B-Box ethernet cable directly to my MacBook Pro. Everything else-- gone.
WHY WON'T Airport Utility re-find my Airport Extreme when I do the reset? I let it glow with the amber button for over 10 minutes, - NOTHING.
Really lost, depressed and fully not understanding this now…
Truly need serious HELP here-- I'm almost shut-down…
Thanks anyone,
Best regards,
Steve Schulte

I left-out one thing: Prior to the factory when I was trying to choose "Extend a wireless Network" I of course chose SteveBelWiFi
Regards,
Steve

In-Service Warranty Repair Denied: Would Really Appreciate Tips on How Best to Handle This -- INTERIM PROGRESS REPORT, Bottom of Thread

Hi, everybody,
Four days ago (4-21-08), I returned my IBM T60 for repair via the prepaid box.
While I was bummed that it stopped booting for no apparent reason and I'd have to do without it, I wasn't concerned, because as a newspaper and magazine reporter and editor, I've been using Thinkpads and IBM Service since the pre-Pentium days, without ever having a problem.
But today when I called to see if my unit was on its way back, I was informed it's on 'billable hold.' IBM claimed the damage was due to a spill and thus, not covered. I could get my laptop back right now, broken, pay $750 for them to repair it (I did not spill a drop of anything into or on it) or open a dispute.
And -- get this -- it would be [i]four to five business days[/i] before I hear back from IBM regarding the dispute's disposition.
I was told the reason for this long wait was because 'we have a big backlog of dispute cases' and 'our technicians have to take pictures and make a report documenting the spill' -- which did not occur on my end.
So who documents my side? Nobody interviewed me. The prepaid box did not even contain the forms IBM service always used to send for me to fill out describing the problem.
I asked to speak to a supervisor -- nobody available. And the message I left on a supervisor's answering machine was not returned.
Needless to say, I am very upset. I absolutely positively did not spill anything into or onto my laptop. If they said dog hair or dander, okay, I've got two large mutts. But no spillage.
Plus, the T60 is among those thinkpad models promoted by Lenovo via videos on its own site & Youtube in which Thinkpads get smooshed by heavy equipment, run over by motorcycles, submerged in diving pools, etc.!
(I just downloaded the whole lot, in case I need them for Small Claims Court).
However, I hope it doesn't come to that, and would similarly prefer to avoid anti-Lenovo blog screeds and forum posts, if possible. After all, this is my first-ever negative experience with IBM products.
Has anybody gotten any satisfaction from Warranty Service using more congenial methods? And is there anything I can do right now, as I have publication deadlines to meet?
Apart from the boot failure, this laptop was in near-pristine condition when they received it and I need it back.
[i]Four to five more business days[/i], just to tell me whether or not they want to hear my side of the story, not even to do the repair? That's kind of insulting. Why did I pay for the Warranty?
This is definitely not the IBM experience I've known and loved for so many years, so if any of you have satisfactorily resolved your own in-warranty issues, please share your experiences.
Thank you in advance for insides you may have.
All best,
Amy

Account Location Frustration: How best to match this when importing?

Scenario: Database of existing accounts in SOD. Accounts use the billing country for the account location. Have new contacts to add to existing accounts, but the contacts do not have the same country listed or the country is blank.
Siebel will not relate just the account name, the account location is required. I understand the reason for this field, but making it required is dumb.
How others tackle this challenge?
What about Accounts with similar, but slightly differently spelled names? i.e. Customer A vs Customer a
Thank you...

Contact has its own address fields...
You could also relate the contact to an account (or multiple accounts)
My previous reply is in reference to account duplication... contact duplication has its own user key (Last Name, First Name if my memory serves right).
The thing about CUSTOMER x customer is related to case sensitivity or insensitivity... This parameter can be changed... may have some performance consequences... it is some discussion.
Good Luck

Wraparound book cover: How best to do this?

I've designed a wraparpund cover for a trade paperback using three separate composite images from Photoshop Elements 8: front, cover, back cover, and spline. Each of the three parts consists of layers for background, text, and on the front cover, the image of an airplane.
The backgrounds for all three parts have been made from a single photo of a mountainside partially obscured by clouds. I've managed to crop the images and join them side-by-side to minimize the hard line of demarcation between the spline and front and back covers, but they are still visible. And although the lines will be camouflaged pretty well when the cover is folded around the book, I'd like to make them less apparent.
Each of the three images has been added to the InDesign cover document directly from PSE8 as a PSD file. I'm still a novice at this, so I'm assuming that this means the layers are still separate (?). Is it possible at this point within InDesign to edit the demarcation lines so that they are less noticeable in the printed cover?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I'm almost overwhelmed by the willingness of forum experts to give of their
time to assist strangers muddling around in the wilderness.
On the subject of Photoshop PDF, I certainly didn't understand what I think
I understand now: saving in that format doesn't close the door on any
subsequent changes I want to make in that file. I can back out of it, change
something and resave it as Photoshop PDF without losing any quality. Also as
I think I understand because you told me, going from PSD to PDF and back to
PSD negatively affects image quality.
But that's not the initial concern I had, which is this: When working in
InDesign and ready to check out how my cover would look in PDF because
that's what I need to upload to the print-on-demand service, the window that
opens with options included "High Quality Print" or something to that
effect. The POD service specifies "Print Quality," which I interpreted as
meaning the same thing.
But when trying to save from PSD to PDF, the only option I have is Photoshop
PDF, and the options box that opens up has very few selections. I can't
remember exactly how it looked, but I think it allowed me to select quality
from low to high, but the absence of more available selections led me to
believe that converting to PDF from Photoshop was a lesser quality option
than doing so from InDesign. From what I've been reading today, I'm more
confused than ever. If going direct from PSD to Photoshop PDF to uploading
to the POD site results in a high-quality final product, I'm a happy camper.
Which brings me back to another major question, which is if I can build a
PSD cover in Elements and go direct to a PDF that meets or exceeds
requirements, why did I get so wrapped around the axle about whether to
purchase v5.5 or 5 in order to build the cover? What's the advantage of
building the cover in InDesign with pieces created in Elements? I've no
doubt that InDesign is far more capable, but it appears that I don't need it
to accomplish my relatively modest goals. I've already bought it, so I can't
back out now, but the question lingers.
And then there's the issue of dealing with the more obvious hard edges at
the top where the front and back covers meet the spline, and that original
question still lingers as well: is there something I can do with InDesign to
make these hard transitions less noticeable? I'm not concerned about the
lower portions of the cover where mountain meets mountain, but the
mountain-cloud boundaries are much more obvious.
Due to file size and email limitations, I have attached the first of two
versions of the cover. It's a regular(?) PDF of the InDesign version made
with the front and back covers and spline as created as separate pieces in
Elements. I'll send the second after this one finally departs.
Please don't laugh when you view them. I'm trying hard . . .

2 iPad users using one iTunes account. how best to manage this?

My wife and I both have ipads, ipods, and iphones. We want to use one iTunes account but it has proven to be very frustrating. any advice?

as far as we can tell, iTunes has no concept that this is iPad1 and this is iPad2. The only to manage sharing 80% same content but diferentiating on 20% is to manage EVERYTHING manually. With lots of apps, movies, and 80GBs of songs, this is ridiculous. We can't be the only couple who want one account but lots of different devices with different desired items on them.
Some syncs can't be done manually so we have to go back and delete or add after the fact. Giant waste of time.
iTunes on the iPad is a bit of a joke. it doesn't seem to have any relationship to iTunes on our primary computer. It doesn't actually function the same way (doesn't actually store downloaded items) which leads to iTunes confusion, frustration, and sometimes duplicate buying.
I'm thinking I'll just wait for the cloud service but given apple's record with iTunes, I'm a little doubtful about that. Appreciate the response.

One Computer, Two Accounts - How Best to Proceed with MacOS 10.8.2?

My wife and I want to share our new iMac, and I'd like some advice on how best to do this without messing things up.
We both have iOS devices to sync, and we both are using the same iTunes Store Account. However, we each have our own iCloud account. We each have our own email accounts, Hotmail accounts, and Yahoo accounts. We each have our own account for the iMac, which I assume you would need if you wanted to maintain two different sets of Mail accounts and two different Facetime "accounts," what to speak of different desktop customization options.
Things we would like to share without duplicating files include: iPhoto library (~100 GB), iTunes media files (over 300 GB), Contacts list, (maybe) Calendar, and (maybe) Safari bookmarks. We do NOT want to share e-mail, Reminders, Facetime. Ideally, I would like for her to be able to sync her devices entirely through her iMac account. However, I am not opposed to her syncing her iOS devices through my account for some things and through her account for other things, if that is not easily avoidable.
Regarding the iTunes library, I could go either way on her having separate library files with separate ratings & playlists or just sharing the same library setup that I have. However, I would want her to have access to the same metadata that I have for all music and video files, since I have lots of custom album art as well as lyrics loaded in. Do we have to use the same library file in order to have access to the same metadata, which will be updated on a regular basis? If so, then is there a way to do that via two different computer accounts, or does she pretty much have to sync with my account?
Now regarding iPhoto libraries, I wouldn't mind us sharing the same "library" as well as the files, including ratings and albums. I would like for the "faces" setup to be the same for both of us, if possible, so that she does not have to repeat the process of face tagging. I read in an older article that sharing the iPhoto library could be accomplished by sending the iPhoto library file to an external hard drive, but as that seemed to be an older approach, I thought I would ask here if that is still the ideal approach. I might want to send the iPhoto library file to an external HD anyway for space considerations. But if I do this, and we are both using the same library file for viewing photos, then does she still see the same albums, events, and tags that I have created already?
Is there a way to share contacts and calendars without having to share other things like Notes and Reminders? I suppose I could have her sync this information via my account, but I'd be greatful to learn of a better way if there is one.

You can share out both the iTunes library and the iPhoto Library in their respective preferences. However, the sharing account must have both iTunes and iPhoto running. You can keep the account running with those things open in the background using Fast User Switching. Enable that in the Users & Groups system prefs and then never log out, just switch to the login screen or the other account using the Fast User switching menu.
I haven't done much actual use in either, so I don't know what the limits are (like making a playlist out of the shared tracks, syncing with iPhone/iPod, etc). For iPhoto, all the photos are available, but if you want to edit one, you have to import a copy into your own library. Another option might be to not keep the media inside the Library, but store it in the /Users/Shared folder. Then, set up your Libraries to leave the content where it is (Preferences). However, I don't think you'd get the metadata for the iTunes music. I believe that is all stored within the iTunes Library.
You can share iCloud calendars so the other person can see your calendar by right-clicking on the Calendar name. There will be an option to share the calendar, there. Also, you can do so from the iCloud web interface.
I've got nothing on sharing contacts. Not sure of a good way to do that besides maintaining two sets. You can start from the same source, but it will diverge over time as contacts are added and removed individually.

How Best to Search pdf Files Over the Web

I have a large number of pdf files. (about 73,000). These are scans of old newspapers that have been OCR'd and saved as pdf. I work in a library and need to find the best way to make these text-searchable through my library's website.
Do I need to create an index?
What I would like to do is have a search box on my web page where a user can enter a keyword, and pull up the pages that contain that word.
Any suggestions on how best to do this are greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

Google can do it for you if you use their search engine as the basis of your library search capabilities.

IPad / LR5. How do I do this?

Apologies, as I may be being really thick but I was thinking about working on my RAW images whilst on the road using the new generation iPad and mini. I will not have access to my Mac / PC as I will be cycling LEJOG, but the long way 'round taking 3-4 weeks.
I know you have to sign up to the monthly CC subscription with Adobe, then I presume (?) download the iPad specific Lightroom 5 software but what is likely the best solution or possibilities for 1: backing up my SD cards onto an offboard HD but more importantly 2: working on the RAW files once imported into LR5 on the iPad?
This is what escapes me at present, the whole, "working on my images stored on an offboard HD & using the iPad" - this is what I don't yet comprehend!
I have seen some wireless 1TB HD devices with SD slots, but is that the solution?
Likely I will have access to the internet every few days, but my ideal "one-stop" solution, is, I think, something else as I want to both back up the images on the SD cards to offboard HD's and then work on them on the iPad.
How best to do this?
Thanks in anticipation.

How best to synchronize?

I have two clips in the time line ; one on top of the other, which I would like to synchronize. How best to do this?

Okay, I will make an assumption here:
On clip is sound and the other video?
If so and you haven't used any clapper or other sound hinting methods, then we have to do this manually by looking at the video and marking specific sound events in the video track (using Markers for example) and then doing the same thing on the audio clip (also using a Marker). Having 2 Markers and snapping on, position the Markers on top of each other and you are in sync. You may need to tweak some frames here and there but that's the manual way of going about it.

How Best to Connect a Drob 5D

I will be connecting i) a Drobo 5D ii) a Thunderbolt display and iii) a MBA / Mac Mini...I am little confused as to how best to make this work.
The Drobo documentation is clear that "...the Drobo 5D performs best when it is the first in the daisy-chain, but it can also be in the middle or at the end...".
The first Thunderbolt-only scenario which came to mind was MBA/Mac Mini --> Thunderbolt display (where the MBA/Mac Mini is connected using the Thunderbolt cable that is part of the display) --> Drobo but this puts the Drobo at the end of the daisy-chain. This one works as it is described in the Drobo manual.
The second Thunderbolt-only scenario was MBA/Mac Mini --> Drobo --> Thunderbolt display (where the Drobo is connected using the Thunderbolt cable that is part of the display). The potential issue here is that I don't know whether this connection sequence will pass the "display" and "Ethernet connection" back to the MBA/Mac Mini through the Drobo.
Would greatly appreciate someone answering this for me.
Thanks,
Joel

Appreciate the response and note that the Drobo 5D is a DAS [i.e. it is the Drobo 5N which is the NAS].
So, just to be perfectly clear, the video and network connection will pass from the Thunderbolt display to the MBA/Mac Mini when those two devices are t the end of the chain?
Thanks so much,
Joel
PS. What DAS do you have as I am still considering different units.
