The "WHINE"--recording music & Logic

Hey everyone,
I just found this website and the guy claims he was able to record the whine using Logic Pro WITHOUT even using a microphone.
http://web.mac.com/paulthespecialist/iWeb/Paul%20Turner/MacBook%20Pro%20Whine%20 Sound.html
This is very troubling for me. I have a MBP with the whine and will be recording music with Logic. The thing is, I have learned to “accept” the whine and use various work-arounds (mainly the mirror-widgit and QuietMBP sometimes) to make the whine go away.
My QUESTION is this: If I record music using Logic AFTER I have stopped the whine using the mirror widget, for example, could the whine STILL be picked up when recording? (Say, somehow internally, or some other way?) This is very important because I bought my MBP solely for recording purposes and I’m getting ready to invest over $5000 on other music equipment to work in conjunction with my MBP. Please, anyone with any knowledge or experience with this, please respond! Thank you.

It works very well for me, and appears to have had no ill effect on my computer. It's the best solution and is used by many on this forum. So the decision's yours. Until Apple decides to build this fix into OSX this is how we do it...:) It completely distracted me until I found the answer on here. Hope it works for you, should you decide to try it.

Recording Audio and Midi at the same time in Logic 7 Express Can it be done

I am wondering if I can record audio and midi at the same time in Logic 7 Express. I am running my guitar thrugh a Roland GR 33, and a line out and using the GR 33 to trigger sounds in the Logic's synth section but cant seem to record all three tracks at once. If any one knows how let me know. Oh and I am running the GR Synth and Guitar into the Prosonus Fire Fox and have the GR 33 out midi to the Fire Box as well. So I guss the question is how do I sent up two audo tracks and one midi track to record in real time. Thanks Victor

Try arming the audio tracks, select one of the tracks, then while holding down the shift key, select the midi track you want to record, arming the "r" on the midi track. Press "record".....

How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. How do I get it to stop?

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop? My sound is running through the Saffire Pro 40 Interface (Focusrite) into external speakers with powered amps.
Also, When I record I am hearing little pops in the system. I have checked all of my meters and they are not clipping. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop?

Pancenter,
Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tristan
Tristan...
This is what you have, correct?
http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
This from Alesis..
"The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! The files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in my itunes library but can play them - there is an exclamation mark next

I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! THe files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in the itunes library but can't play them - there is an exclamation mark next to each track. Basically I can't use itunes - is the only option remove and replace? Thanks in advance

Visibility of the Podcasts section is controlled from within the Edit > Preferences dialog.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
Missing tracks
Typically this can happen because a file or folder is accidentally shunted to the wrong location. iTunes can also get confused if it expects to be talking to an external drive which isn't there. If will often reset the default media folder location and may have trouble finding files in the old folders.
Select one of your tracks that is missing in action. Press CTRL-I to Get Info. Cancel when asked to try to locate the file, then look at the location given on the summary tab. This where iTunes thinks the file ought to be? Now find out where it actually is. Post back the two locations for comparison. I should be able to give you some steps to reconnect everything once I can determine which of the things that might have gone wrong is most likely in your case.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Look on one of your bank statements and be sure to enter the billing address exactly as it shows on the statement. Some folks forget where they actually get the statement. They put their home address in iTunes/Mac App Store and they actually get the statement at their place of employment or vice versa.

PROBLEM AXIOM AIR 61 IN LOGIC, DON'T REPRODUCE SOMETIMES THE TRACK RECORDED WITH AXIOM AIR 61

I have some problems working on LogicX, cuz when i play the track that i recorded with the AXIOM AIR 61, sometimes don't sound nothing, and then when i put play again it sound the track, the think is that the LogicX. I don't know if it's a driver problem o something like that. Need Help Urgent!

Folks.... I eventually solved the problem so if anyone else is interested here is the solution.
The Axiom DirectLink for Logic/Garage band: Axiom_DirectLink_For_Logic_OSX_1_0_0-3.dmg
Should install a file called Axiom.bundle in the directory
MacintoshHD/Library/Application Support/MIDI Device Plug-ins/Axiom.bundle
In my case (see above) the file had successfully installed to that location. However, for some peculiar reason the permissions on the folder had been changed - current admin and users could not read or write. I have no idea how that happened. In any event, despite the fact that the file had been installed, when Logic was opened I was unable to see the Axiom as an available control surface to install.
I reset the permissions and the problem was solved!
It's only taken me a week to get there but now happy that it's OK. The Axiom612 isn't cheap!
I hope this helps someone else.

I'm going to college. Should I get a Macbook Pro13in with the I5 or I7. I play league of legends and record music. my laptop hecka lags so i wanna avoid that. I stream movies all the time. I5 is $1100 and I7 is $1400.i want my laptop to last 10yr help!:)

ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!!! please! the difference between i5 and i7 for me is only $300, but is it durable or worth it in the long run???

I don't think that you'll get any notebook (or any computer, these days) to last for ten years! I did have a MacBook Pro that lasted me for 6 years, and is still operational, but it simply can't be upgraded any longer.
If you're going to play games, record music, etc., the dual-core i7 is going to be your best bet, however - well worth the $300 difference.
Just my 2¢...

Increasing the Volume of a Garageband Recording in Logic Express 8

I'm new to Logic Express, but I'd like to use it to increase the volume of a multi-track recording that I made in Garageband. (Of course, there may be a way to increase the volume of the recording IN Garageband; however, if so, I don't know how to go beyond the 6 db level that seems to be the max for each track.) Here's what I tried to do: I imported the mixed-down, AIFF audio file that I made in Garageband into Logic Express and then I pushed the master volume slider to the maximum. I then saved and exported the file from Logic Express as another AIFF file (with a different file name, of course), thinking that the new recording would be louder. It wasn't. Any idea what I might try next? Thanks in advance for any help.

I've found an answer to my own question. I simply imported the recording that I made in Garageband into a new Garageband file and then turned up the volume. I'd still like to know how to do this in Logic Express, though, since I'd like to move to that more sophisticated program.

Which Canon Camcorder has the best built in microphone for recording musical instruments

Which Canon Camcorder in the affordable price range has the best built in onboard microphone for recording musical instruments
Thanks.

TheBee,
Thanks for writing!
The built-in microphones on the camcorder are fairly similar. When you're recording music, we recommend the use of an external microphone.
The mic you use really depends on what you're recording and where.
So we may better assist you, please provide a bit of information regarding the type of recordings you'll be making, the music and the setting (i.e. what kind of venue, your distance to the music, etc).

I used my iPad on the Music setting to play on my Bluetooth speaker. I would like to use the Bluetooth to play on the Yamaha recording app. but it only plays music from the Music app. How do I turn off the Music app?

I found a solution. Turning the iPad completely off and restarting it allowed me to play the Yamaha recording app. It is an awkward way to reset/remove the imusic setting. Is there a better way?

De-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

Logic to capture the Error records

Hi All ,
           I have one scenario like this ,one report program runs in R/3 system to fetch some data from BW system .
It uses Remote FM to do this .
The problem is the FM has got error table with error msgs , if there is any problem in fetching the data in R/3 system.
But when program is excuted it fails after returning to R/3 system with error msg in WHEN OTHERS and stops there itself
Instead it should proceed with other program codes and then
finally output the error records .There is already subroutine in the program to display the erros records in last. How do i do it programatically

The piracy of music and software

I have to say that I don't normally use iTunes. I use it on occassion when there is just one song that I want that I can't find elsewhere. Recently I purchased one and realized how restricted it is. First off, you have to authorize your computer to play these files. Since I've done a couple re-installs of Windows on my computer, I have done that a couple times. Well, Apple realizes these as activations, even though you have to activate your computer all over again upon a clean re-install. So, now it says that I have authorized 3 computers of my 5 allowed. ********!!!
We all hear that the music industry, corporate conglomerates and the government alike are putting all these measures in place to discourage piracy, but I tell you the truth. When I purchase something and I am not allowed to do anything with that thing except to use it with a given software, that encourages me to pirate it. After all, they are saying you don't own it, even though you paid for the **** thing. This logic is pure retardation pure and simple. It is no different than purchasing a $75,000 mercedez and being restricted to certain streets and times of the day which you can drive it. Why would a consumer buy a song that they don't own? That is the reason for piracy. A person will not buy something they can't own. What is the purpose in that?
People, we must take a stand against all this anti-piracy radicalism. The rate we are going, it won't be long before my car example is a reality. How about books and magazines? I can see them regulated in much the same way. Their goal is to eliminate the actual physical products such as CDs, magazines and books and have them only available in digital format. This is convenient for sure. However think of books and magazines in the same way. They will be available for purchase online only. You will not be able to print them, hang them on your wall or use them for your own purposes. You will only be able to view them using a special software that they make for you. As also with the music, you will run into problems when Microsoft's OS bugs make you re-install it a dozen times.
Recently, in the Kazaa lawsuit fiasco, over 400 million were paid out to record labels and various parties involved. That is way more than this is all worth. Further, who do you think recieved those funds? The corporate conglomerates, record labels and billionaires. I guarentee you that they low level struggling artist did not recieve a penny of this money. We cannot allow the wealthy who are already ripping off consumers and pick pocketing their hard earned wages to pledge with one hand that they are protecting us and with the other rule with an iron fist over us like slaves. Stand up for your rights as a consumer and your freedoms.

Once you activate 5 computers (or 5 times), iTunes will show a new option "Deactivate all computers" Then you start at 1 again.
Or rather, Deauthorize your iTunes before you re-install Windows, That would work best, then you won't be limited to 5 times a year.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.0/en/687.html
You can authorize or deauthorize a computer at any time.
Tip: If you forgot to deauthorize a computer you no longer own, you can deauthorize all of your authorized computers at once. Choose Store > View My Account. You can use this method once a year.
