Too many real instruments for a new project?

I keep getting the notification which says "Part of the project was not played - This project has too many real instrument tracks to be played in real-time".
BUT the problem is that this occurs even when I open a new garageband file (i.e. no tracks!) and I'm only 3 seconds into recording the first track! So garageband is basically not working for me. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it to no avail. Just a few months back I was still able to use it comfortably to do edit many different tracks together so I really don't know what the problem is. I don't really know if its a problem with the processor as I barely use the memory on my macbook pro and even when recording CPU usage doesn't go above 20% so I'm really at a loss. Please help!

Oh apple support asked me to try that out too but it did not work.. In fact for some of the suggestions they gave (eg using a different user, or even locking the track) it only managed to extend the period of recording to about 10 seconds before the problem resurfaced and after that it was back to the same 3 second problem.
But that is an important clue, Josiah. If you cannot even record properly from a different user account with basic settings, we know that the settings in your user account cannot be causing this - this looks like system wide trouble.
You could run a hardware check over night, to check your hardware:
Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test
and if the hardware check does not show any problems, I'd reinstall Mountain Lion.
See Linc Davis's post on how to reinstall: Re: Garageband doesn't open in Mac Mini mid 2011

"Too Many Real Instruments"

I am posting this in the '09 topic, but my question really dates back to Garageband '08. I rely on Garageband often, and I'm a big fan of it. However, it contains a serious problem which I need fixed.
I create a new project, drop a single iTunes song into it, and begin to edit. Almost every time, randomly while playing the song the "Part of the project was not played. This project has too many real instrument tracks to be played in real-time" warning message appears. I only have 1 track! Worse still, my audio driver lets out a terrible "HONK" which startles me and blasts through the entire house. After that, My sound output faintly exists until I open up Audio MIDI Setup and change a random setting on my output.
I am quite tired of this predicament. Is there anyway to fix this (without money)?

I was experiencing a similar problem, and I just got off the phone with applecare and went through all their steps.
I'll try my best to recount them here. But before I do, let it be said that the tech fellow, once he heard what I was doing, exclaimed that my core problem was that I needed to be creating new projects, and not re-using the same project (ex. "My Song 2") over and over.
What I've been doing is backing up a pile of mini-discs that have live concerts on them. A couple of hours of audio each one, and I've been recording them into Garageband. After I divide the concert up into songs and export them to itunes, I've been deleting the track in Garageband and then importing the next concert (repeat x 10 concerts).
About 7-8 concerts in I started getting that popping sound when the sound would cut out (made the sound of depressing the safety-seal bubble on the metal lid of a jam jar). At first, quitting Garageband and opening it again would work. On the 10th concert, when the sound cut out the sound for the whole computer would stop working (itunes, volume buttons on my keyboard, everything).
So the tech fellow said the lesson is this: create new projects. Don't be shy about it. No need to re-use and recycle in cyberspace.
Now - my applecare steps:
- First we went: Macintosh HD, Library, then dragged "Caches" to the trash
- then went to Finder, Go, Utilities, Disk Utility, Macintosh HD, Repair Disk Permissions (that took some time)
- then restarted the computer
All seems to be well now.
Good luck

Too many real instruments; Need help bouncing tracks

Hello, I've been using GarageBand to record a demo for my band. Unfortunately, I've hit my peak number of real instrument tracks. I have a lot of tracks that are the same (well, not EXACTLY the same, but the same musical part), where one is panned left and the other is panned right. Is there a way I can take tracks like these and bounce them down to one stereo track without losing quality or the panning of the tracks? Thanks a ton.
-Kevin

I use an external FireWire drive which I move between machines and rooms, thus I plug in to the iBook and record, unplug and plug into the iMac and mix.
You could copy the files (they'll be huge) over ethernet, or airport (You could get a cheap hub or router for hooking the machines up. In fact, CompUSA has a 4 port (and wireless) router on sale this week for $4.99 <sic> after rebate), or perhaps burn them to CD-RW/DVD-RW.
how many more tracks do you think I'd be able to get out of my iMac G5
I'm not sure. I think the max I have done so far was 36 (that got pared down to 34). I guess some day I'm going to have to try this myself, see how far I can actually get. I remember doing a simple none Real World test months ago (I'm sure the post is gone by now <sigh>) in which I simply compared my iBook's internal drive an an external drive.
Unfortunately in trying to make the test doable in a reasonable amount of time I only recorded 1 minute tracks, and I'm sure that's a factor, but I seem to recall getting more than 40 with GB(1) and the external drive.

Java vs. C# for a new project

Hi,
I know this has probably been done to death, but the world changes and the old arguments lose their validity so I'd be interested in people's thoughts:
I work for a largely C# shop, but due to a general dislike of .net and Microsoft from the developers there is the possibility of using something non-MS for a new project. Currently it is looking like the app will be a traditional client-server app. Java has been mentioned as a possible alternative, and being an old Java guy myself I'm excited about the possibility of using it again!
I have a meeting with the directors to discuss reasons why we'd want to use Java in place of C#. The directors have made a lot of cash out of MS platforms, but are open to change if I can convince them - I've come up with the following reasons:
1) Java is more widely adopted in 'serious' industry and the biggest websites e.g. ebay, Amazon etc. all use it as their platform of choice
2) Portable - we are having a desktop client. Whilst running on non-Windows desktops may not be a priority now, Macs and Linux are making noteworthy ground (Apple are nearly tipping 10% for the first time in decades!). Java would let us sell to these clients too.
3) Cheaper - Don't need to pay thousands for MS licences before they can even run our software (IIS, SQL Server etc.)
4) Better community - can leverage various OSS projects to accelerate development - in the .net world similar components are likely to be chargeable (and probably expensive!)
What do you think to my reasons and can anyone think of any other compelling arguments?
Many thanks,
Ash

makes no sense. Use the appropriate technology for the solution rather than something 'you like'.
Their 'dislike of .NET' almost certainly means they're stuck in the past and don't want to put in the effort to learn anything newer than VB6.

for client/server? Unless you need to support more platforms than just Windows using Java instead of .NET makes no sense.
1) Java is more widely adopted in 'serious' industry and the biggest websites e.g. ebay, Amazon etc. all use it as their platform of choiceIt isn't.
2) Portable - we are having a desktop client. Whilst running on non-Windows desktops may not be a priority now, Macs and Linux are making noteworthy ground (Apple are nearly tipping 10% for the first time in decades!). Java would let us sell to these clients too.No argument. Apple is a niche market for corporate use except with graphics designers, Linux is a niche market anywhere except for servers.
3) Cheaper - Don't need to pay thousands for MS licences before they can even run our software (IIS, SQL Server etc.)Wrong.
IIS comes free with Windows, and you still need a quality database server. As your current customers will be using MS SQL Server that's the most logical choice and its integration with .NET is way better than its integration with Java.
The most viable alternative is Oracle which is even more expensive.
The most viable alternative for IIS when using Oracle is WebLogic which is more expensive than is IIS (which after all is free).
4) Better community - can leverage various OSS projects to accelerate development - in the .net world similar components are likely to be chargeable (and probably expensive!)
Could be. But that could just be because you know the Java community better.
What do you think to my reasons and can anyone think of any other compelling arguments?
Unless you or (more important) your customers already have a Unix environment in place, there is no real reason to not use .NET.

Automating album creation for a new project?

I have several projects (such as specific event shoots) with the same basic set of albums for that project (some regular albums, some smart albums). I'll have albums for specific subsets of the events (for my sports shots, there's Individuals, Action, Team, etc.).
I'd like to automate the creation of these albums, as it gets a bit tedious having to create a bunch of albums manually for each new project I create. I looked at Aperture's automator actions, but couldn't find anything related to album creation. Is there such a thing?
Thanks...
David

I'm pretty sure this is scriptable using AppleScript. I haven't really had the need to script Aperture so I can't tell you the exact syntax without looking it up myself, but it shouldn't be too hard if you've ever used AppleScript. Just open Script Editor, go to File > Open Dictionary... > Aperture and you'll get a list of the scriptable actions Aperture has available.

We are introducing a new feature in Flex 2.0.1 that's due out
early next year. The feature is called "Modules" and it was
discussed at this year's MAX 2006. You can read more about it on
Roger Gonzalez's blog:
http://blogs.adobe.com/rgonzalez/
- check the "Modular Applications" articles. I think this will go a
long way to making the reusable parts you are talking about.
Flex does not build things from instructions unless they are
written in ActionScript. We have customers that do create dynamic
interfaces based on data loaded from a database, so it is possible.
But if you have pre-built templates and all you need to do is
change certain aspects at runtime, it should be pretty easy with
Flex. Take a look at the Flex documentation, especially the part
about the Flex framework and how Flex sources are compiled into
SWFs.
You style Flex components using style sheets (CSS files).
This also includes specifying skins for components if you decide to
give something a whole new look.
I'm a bit biased here, but I think using ColdFusion (version
7.0.2) with Flex 2 is very easy. But it depends on your needs,
budget, deployment, etc. WIth CF 7.0.2 and Flex Builder 2 you get
wizards to be build both CFC (ColdFusion components) and matching
ActionScript objects so that you exchange objects, not just data,
between Flex and CF.
WebServices can also be used (with CF, too). This gives you
more choices to the backend. If you have a large amount of data or
it is complex, consider Flex Data Services as that has data
management capabilities.
Flex 2 has localization capabilties. You create a 'resource
bundle' in various languages and build SWFs for each one. When the
end user choses their preference, take them to the page that loads
the appropriate SWF.

Should we really go for bean data controls for a new project?

Hi,
I am still new data controls and trying to figure out the advantages of using bean data controls for our new project. Our UI is going to have customized UI components and our back end is going to be a tcp/ip server.
Is it a good idea to develop java beans and then create data controls to bind to UI layer? I think it makes sense to use data controls if we want to use existing java beans. Maybe we would be separating the model layer by using data controls, but only thing it would be doing for us would be the simple object calls to my java beans. Would it be better to use data controls or use I choose to make object calls?
Thanks,
Manoj

Hi,
the POJO data control will always give you a benefit and develope productivity, unless what you have to build fits on a single page - in which case you may not mind the burdon of manual UI component binding

Remaining questions while evaluating JavaFX for a new project

Dear forum members:
currently I am evaluating the possibilities of next-generation GUI technologies, such as JavaFX, Silverlight and Flash/Flex, for a new project. To get a basic understanding of JavaFX's concepts, I worked through the available online text and video tutorials, and all the treated topics seem quite obvious/comprehensible to me +as long as one is only confronted to relatively static GUI component hierarchies+. But, as a newbie, some questions concerning more dynamically defined GUIs (i.e. dynamic JFX scripting*) still remain.
Application scenario (exemplary):
Say I want to create a "Online Shopping Application" that supports "+ShopOwners+" in *dynamically* defining the "+Shop Model+" structure, e.g. accepted visitor (client) categories, product categories their products, pricing information, payment methods, etc.
Then, based on the dynamically defined model, the shop owner should be able to design and layout the necessary forms, such as order forms, survey/feedback forms, etc. This should be done in "design mode", and there should also exist a possibility for him/her to preview the specification results in a "preview mode".
Finally, the shop owner must be able to save the model and forms on the server side in a way that can requested and run be the shopping app end users (the shop clients) via (another (?)) JavaFX frontend.
_The still remaining questions for this scenario are:_
+1. Is JavaFX appropriate for creating such kind of applications, especially when it comes to dynamic JFX scripting (and compilation) on the client side??? (By now I'm not quite sure if this is really necessary for my plans!)+
+2. Concerning the ShopOwner's GUI with its design and preview mode (and knowing that the latter mode will be the GUI version presented to the shop clients in another JFX module):+
+Is it possible to *dynamically *build up a +Scene Graph+ in a way that lets me handle and *compile* the corresponding +JFX Script+ on the client side for previewing it? Or is a client-server roundtrip absolutely necessary?
How could one persist this JFX Script on the server side? I.e., which intermediary format would be the most appropriate? => XML, JSON, JFX Script?
3. Concerning the "Shop Model", would I optimally create JFX classes or even Java Beans to bind to?
4. And finally: What would be your recommended way (software architecture) to fulfill this task in JavaFX?
Do there already exist some JFX components (dynamic forms/survey authoring modules, etc.) that persue a similar task and that I didn't find yet?
As the clarification of the above-mentioned issues are very important for me, I hope that you more experienced users can help me, pointing me to a practicable approach.
Thank you very much for any help and constructive tips in advance.
Best regards
Martin Meyers

Q1: Do I optimally need 2 different custom components for each treated concept, or do I have just 1 component with 2 internal modes (design & preview/usage)??
E.g., (a) FormSpec widget composed of LabelSpec, TextBoxSpec, ChooseBoxSpec,... widgets each having their preview pendants
Form, Label, TextBox, ChooseBox, etc.
versus
+(b) only Form widget composed of Label, TextBox, ChooseBox widgets, but all having a "design/preview execution mode".+
Closer to (b), I think, though each widget doesn't need to be modified to have design and preview modes. Instead, each widget can be wrapped within a Group to provide the design/preview functions without modifying the widget itself.
The technique is as follows. Given a sequence of widgets (Nodes, really), for each widget, wrap it in a Group that contains that widget but with an overlay Rectangle in front of it. The Rectangle can be semi-transparent, or fully transparent if you prefer. (In the example below I've made it a semitransparent color to make its location obvious as well as to provide a highlight that signals design mode.) The overlay Rectangle is set up so that its dimensions will exactly track the dimensions (bounds) of the widget behind it. I've set blocksMouse to true so that when it's present, the overlay traps events and prevents interaction with the widget. There is a boolean variable previewMode, controlled by a CheckBox, that controls the visibility of these overlay rectangles. I've also added a bit of code to track mouse events on the overlay rectangles so that you can move the widgets around when you're in design mode.
Note that the visible variable differs from transparent, i.e. opacity == 0.0. If a node is visible but is transparent, it is still eligible to receive events; whereas if visible is false, it does not receive events.
Here's some code that illustrates this technique. I'll answer your other questions in a subsequent post.

Too many recipients found for message type ORDERS in the ALE model

Hi all ,
please help me to solve this issue .
i done with ale settings .
orders message type is used in 2 different model view for 2 different systems
when i create po it is giving error in output "Too many recipients found for message type ORDERS in the ALE model"
how can i rectify this error.
Thanks

> orders message type is used in 2 different model view for 2 different systems
do both of them carter diffrent needs or is it the same idoc which is being sent to diffrent systems?
if yes, then use a single model view with noth receiver systems defined in it.
if not, i would suggest, copying the standard idoc and create a zidoc and then use different ones for diffrent receivers....
or u can use diff versions of the orders message type...
say orders05 for one.... receiver and orders02 for another one....
hope this helps!!
Cheers!!

Hi,
Try to redefine your distribution model to have both receivers of your message type ORDERS in one "model view".

Too many recipients found for message type (Distribution model)

Hi,
I wanna send Dilvery note using message type DESADV from a SAP system to another non-SAP System.
I have Created port partner profile and distribution model.
But the Problem is the same message type DESADV is used to send Dilvery from SAP System to another SAP Client.
Idoc getting failed and throwing error stating Too many recipients found for message type DESADV in the ALE model .
I am sure we can create the more than one recipients for same message types. I have done it some time back. Any help highly appreciated.
Regards
Raj

This message pops up when SAP can't identify how to distribute the IDoc based on the settings in BD64. Take a look at the settings there, most likely you'll need to add a filter.
The big ALE/EDI/IDoc book suggests that the same IDoc may be distributed to 2 different systems but specific details are not clear. It seems that one system should be configured first (it does mention a need to use a filter) and then somehow menu Edit -> Model View -> Distribute should be used.
I've never done it myself though and have only run into that error when I missed some filter settings in BD64. Hope this helps.

Too many recipients found for message type in the ALE model

Hello Friends,
Please help me in solving this error. I have a Outbound sales order confirmation ORDRSP .
In the distribution model i have defined the sender receiver and message type clearly...
But in va01 after creating sales order extras ->Output->Hearder --->Edit
Output type-- BA00
medium --ALE
Dispatch time : Send Immediately
I am getting a error -
Too many recipients found for message type ORDRSP in the ALE model
Message no. B1130
Diagnosis
In the ALE distribution customer model several recipient systems for IDOCs with message type ORDRSP and filter object type 'KUNNR' with value '100' have been modeled from this system, but only one recipient system is allowed.
Procedure
Please change the ALE distribution customer model so that it allows only one recipient system for the message from this system.
Please help me in solving this error.
Regards,
jeevan

Hi Jeevan,
In BD64, the said problem occurs, since the message type ORDRSP will be configured to different Logical System.
Since you are creating sales orders & Output type, system doesnt knows, to which Logical system, it has to be sent since the Message type exists more than once.
select Your respective Logical System where the Outbound Sales Order Confirmation ORDRSP has been created.
Under the node ORDRSP, add the filter group for Customer.
Double click the Filter group and add the respective Customer No.s to whom the Order confirmation needs to be sent.
Then create Sales Order Confirmation & Output type. Data will be passed(IDoc) to the respective Customer(where the customer no.) exist in the filter.
Hope it solves your Issues.
Regards,
Anbalagan.
