Trigger Ez Drummer in garageband with my digital drums

I have a SPD-S which I have connected to my Mac via MIDI / USB.
When I want to play in garage bands and use my SPD-S to trigger
drum sounds in GarageBand, I can not control what pads that will govern
and drum sounds.
How do you "Assign" drum sounds to different pads? I
can not find any settings in GarageBand where I can decide which
sounds played from the "what" Pad. I want to use my SPD-S
as a drum set.
For info, I use the following equipment:
- SPD-S
- Kick Trigger Roland KD7
- CME U2 Midi Interface
- IMac with Lion, and last Garagegand.
- Toontrack EZ Drummer

It should be as simple as hooking the midi-out ot the pad to the midi-in of the M-Audio, and selecting one of the Drum Kit Software instruments and then whacking away.
However, your pad might be sending midi notes that are different than the software instrument expects. The Drum Kit is expecting a certain note to play the bass drum. If your pad sends a different note you might here a different sound or nothing at all. As a first step, I would use the grand piano software instrument to make sure that when you hit the pad some note sounds. Then you can work on getting the correct drum to sound when you switch to the drum kit.

Recording to midi into Garageband with an electro drum kit?

Hey all
I thought I'd have a play around with a few things this evening on Garageband after work, but wanted to confirm a few things before I start anything.
Ive got an electro drum kit with midi capabailities and also have a Midi to USB lead.
I am assuming I can take a midi in/out from the electro kits brain through the Midi to USB lead into my Mac.
Connect my headphones to my Mac and play with my kit using the in built Garageband drum sounds?
Moving on from this I am assuming I can record the drum midi notes too directly into Garageband (to edit later if necessary)?
I'm guessing that if the above is possible the pads on the kit may not correspond to whats sounds are being played in GB so I will have to remap?
Moving on further from this I also have a Akai EIE Pro interface with 4 channel inputs, so I was going to attempt to record a full live 3 piece band.
(2 vox, 1 guitar, 1 bass) with the Akai, and then also record the midi drums at the same time.
I am assuming that this is also possible?
Thanks

Yes. Caveat: the Midi to USB "lead" that you mention is actually an interface that might need a driver to work with your computer.

Yes.

Exactly. Does your drumkit allow to assign a midi note to every pad? Then you could adjust it to trigger the correct GB sounds. An alternative is a midi mapping software like MidiPipe that transforms the incoming midi signal (I haven't tried it personally).

Yes. Again: make sure you have the right driver for the interface that corresponds to your OS version.
Happy playing around!

Using my digital drum set with GarageBand

I have a Session pro dd506 digital drum set. I've connected it to my mac via a usb cable. If I hit my digital drum pads then my mac sounds a note as you would expect. but the problem is that for example my snare will be the floor tom and my first tom will be the crash symbol (they're all mixed up). Is there a way to assign different sounds to each pad?
Thanks

if your kit doesn't allow you to reassign the control codes, take a look at MIDIPipe which is supposed to do that (among the other things it does)
@ HangTime... are you saying it is possible to use a 3rd party app to reassign keys/pads etc from a MIDI controller to GB midi instruments??
I would love to get something like the Alesis Control Pad and assign GB's drum kits logically to the pads. Right now I have an M-Audio Axiom 49 which has 8 finger pads and it would be good to even make this make sense.

How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

gjortega,
Your sidekick may be relaying through a different server. If its on AT&T, it could be using cwmx.com for outgoing. However, cwmx.com only works for AT&T/Cingular EDGE customers. When on Wi-fi it won't allow you to send through it.
Many internet providers, but not all, provide an authenticating SMTP server to use when travelling. If you configured your outgoing server to use the email providers authenticating SMTP server information on a port different from port 25, you will be able to use it on most networks. Some wireless networks filter a wider range of ports, such as some work places.
This article discusses the issue in more detail:

Please, please bring out a Zen Vision:M with integrated digital camera!

Is there some chance to contact the development division of creative and ask for a Zen Vision:M with integrated digital camera? there are mobiles out there with 0 Megapixel cameras and they don?t have a 30 GB disk space.
There would be nothing better then have this nice Vision:M mp3 player with an integrated camera..
one additional use for Vision:M besides using for listining to mp3 is to keep and carry around photos with it anyways.. so why don?t they bring it our with camera? wouldn?t need to take photos with another devise, transfer these photos to the pc/mac and then transfer them back on Vision:M.... just carrying aroung one devise would be so much better... but I guess that is also some marketing stuff... first sell this generation of Vision:M, and then wait some time and come out with the new generation of players, with finally integrated camera... or maybe just wait, until ipod brings them out first... anyways, I really don?t see a technical problem for this...
Olympus m:robe 500 put a mp3 camera on the market a couple of years ago, though it can't really compete with Vision:M on the mp3 player part.
any comments from anyone?

I actually disagree, reason being that when you take into account the cameras that are build into the phones they are at most adequate, 2MP is the current theme (at least in UK I think). The option/settings/tweeks with the phone cameras is poor when you look at it, stand alone digital cams offer better features compared with phone digicams, then you have the power too, to dri've a good camera if you have one then you know required decent batteries, storage (ok you have a hard dri've so that is sorted) but take into consideration that you will always get better results with a digicam than phone cameras and you can see that would be a waste of time for the time being.
There is an old saying "Jack of all trades, Master of none" and this seemes to hold true to the phone cameras. Don't get me wrong it would be nice to have it only and only if you have all the features of the stand alone one with big resolution and so on, heck I have a Nokia 6230 and like it very much but my old 3.2MP Cannon (by all means not the best and not the newest?in the world) gives me far better/superior results than the the one on the phone even can. What would be cool to have is a port where you can hook them both up and use the Mp3 players HDD to store (I know you can on some Creative players) your snaps without having to buy or have attachments, just plug a mini USB and you are off. Technology as always moves forward and an astonishing reate and new gadgets?come out?and quality improves, battery life lengthens and so on, so we might even see this happen. Ttill the time where they are on par with most consumer digicams?I will be?witholding in buying one.Message Edited by RobertM on 03-0-20062:57 PM

Form Size issue with multiple Digital Signatures

I have created a form (liveCycle 8) with multiple digital signatures required. When each user signs the form, that section of the form is locked using collections. The form is workflow through email after each user signs it. Each time the user signs and forwards the form, the form's size becomes too large.
How can the form be optimized to compress each time an users signs the form?
Thank you,
Lori

Steve,
After your request to post the form, I wanted to removal some company items like the Logo. Once I removed the Logo, I found the biggest issue was a Logo image size that was making the file so large. Once I reduced the image size, the signatures only added 46kb at each signature level.
Thank you for your help,
Lori

Can't TAG Mp4 files with Dolby Digital AC3 5.1

Hi everyone, I use iTunes to TAG all my Mp3 and Mp4, I have over 100,000 Mp3 tagged with iTunes without no problem and over 2,000 DVDs concerts, TV series, etc in Mp4 format tagged also with iTunes without any problems, all my Mp4 til now have 2 channel stereo sound.
My problem now is that I'm making some Mp4 movies with dolby digital 5.1 and this Mp4 play perfect in iTunes and QuickTime ''but'' I can't TAG them in iTunes because of the AC3 5.1, I'm sure of this because everthing made in 2 channel stereo have no problem to TAG in iTunes. If I TAG them its seems in the begining to write the TAGs but if I clear iTunes and then re-load again the files the TAGs dissapears.
I use MAC and PC. I use Nero Recode 2 to make my Mp4. I have the last version of iTunes and QT.... I have noticed that Winamp can write the TAGs without any problems and stays there but what I need is to iTunes recognize that TAGs because I run all my libraries in iTunes
Thanks in advance, sorry for my english.

Anybody please, any answer can help me please... Is that no body has experience this same problem?
If iTunes can't support TAGs with 5.1 is possible to fix this in the next update?
Regards

How do I import movies with an AVI format taken with a digital SLR?

How do I import movies with an AVI format taken with a digital SLR?

If you cannot import using File Menu > Import Movies... You'll have to convert them on a Mac.
You will need to use a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5.
Basically, you drag the .mts file into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your codec. And it will save out to a .mov file and iMovie will edit this format like there was no tomorrow

HT201317 Has anybody an idea, why my jpeg-picture uploaded to Photo Stream does not appear on my S4 like all the other pictures before? Ok, it's 4 years old, but JPEG and taken with a digital camera...! I'm despaired after trying since days...! Thank you!

Has anybody any idea, why my jpeg-picture upoaded to Photo Stream does not appear on my iPhone S4 like all the other pictures before?
Ok, it's a 4 year old picture, but taken with a digital camera as jpeg...! This cannot be the problem really, but I'm despaired after trying since days...! Thank you all for any hint you've got for me!

If you asking me, I would suggest to additonally use a second storage service which also allows you to store your pictures over the 30 days period. I personally use Dropbox with automatic upload for that (https://db.tt/cMEgDUFZ), but there are also other storage services like Flickr for example.

but are you able to open your file? does it play in SC?
maybe this app doesn't run with my iMac Intel Core 2 Duo????
SC runs on 'any' kind of Mac
