Using GB to mix Tascam Tracks

I'm trying to transfer previously recorded tracks from my dinosaur Portastudio 488 into GB in order to make a cleaner final mix. I can only group the 8 tracks into 4 outputs, so I need recommendations for a good basic interface that will allow me to record 4 tracks on GB simultaneously. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks for the help. This looks like the ticket. Having no experience with this, do you know how it works? Does it plug directly into the one firewire port I have then allow me to assign the 4 inputs from the mixer going through the interface to 4 individual tracks on GB? I can't find any data in the manual that addresses how you tell GB to recognize 4 (or more) different sources coming through one port/input. This may be a moot point as the directions that come with the unit may make this clear. Even though the source sound is technically not a "real" instrument, is that the only/best track assignment when recording in GB? Thanks again.

We are recording 2 voices over an instrumental track. Every time there is a rest in the vocal part the volume of the instrumental track noticeable increases. Is this fixable? We are using Alesis multi mix 8 with 2 microphones.

What is a decent sound card to use with DJ Mixer Pro?

I'm having trouble finding a compatible external sound card to use with my Mac Mini. Specifically, I need one that supports surround sound to use with DJ Mixer Pro. I am currently unable to use the "Preview" function of the program during my sets to ensure proper blending from one track into another. I've gotten pretty good at working around it, but with the proper sound card I should be able to preview a track in the "rear" of the surround sound without disturbing the "front", which plays live to the crowd. Most information I can find on sound cards pertains to home theatre application, which I have no interest in. I also don't need anything too sophisticated as I use the program for local club performances instead of professional production. I would prefer something that connects through firewire to prevent any kind of delay, but most of these seem to be discontinued or expensive overkill, so I hope a USB 2.0 will suffice. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Using a digi003 mixer with logic

i just purchase logic the other day and i cant figure out how to use my digi003 mixing board with it. does logic even support the digi003? the guy at sam ash told me that it did.

Ok - select an audio track in Logic. In it's channel strip, in the Input box, select the first input that Logic says your system sees.
Click on either the red record enable button, or the yellow input monitor button. Play your source through the mixer - do you get levels in Logic? If not, repeat for whatever other inputs are available in the input menu.
If none of those pass signal, then you need to look at the routing setup on the Alesis mixer to make sure you are routing signals correctly. Unfortunately I don't know that particular device, but check it's manual for how to route channels to the computer.

I use i-tunes for backing tracks with an acoustic band...how can I get a playlist to play one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?

I use i-tunes for backing tracks. How can I set up a play list to play only one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?
Thanks

Uncheck all the songs in the playlist. iTunes will then play one song and stop.

How to use Find Iphone app to track my child and they not track me?

Just bought my kid an Iphone 4S, just like mine:) I want to use "Find Iphone" app to track him occasionally.

Using avid m-audio fast track and avid m-audio fast track solo together

I Wanted to use avid m-audio fast track and avid m-audio fast track solo together so that I can get 4 inputs
i I tried to select it, but could enable any one only. How can I use them together??

You can use only one device at a time I Logic. However, in the Audio MIDI Setup utility (Applications>Utilities) you can create an aggregate device, which effectively combines multiple devices into one "virtual" device, which you can then choose in Logics' coreaudio device setup.

Can I use the mouse and the track pad at the same time?

I'm not comfortable with the track pad yet - can I use a mouse and the track pad simultaneously?

Yes, both can be used simultaneously.

Why is using an external mixer important?

Hello,
I am still a little confused on a couple of things. I know that it is best to monitor sound externally but why should you also need a mixer. Is the mixer used just for monitoring/adjusting the sound coming out of the speakers or is it for making adjustments to your project's audio in final cut pro. How is the mixer being hooked up to the computer (Mac Pro)? Is it via some sort of capture card? Please explain. I am used to using the audio interface that final cut pro has built in with its own set of mixers so I am wondering why do you need (or should use) an external mixer also.
Thanks.

Thank you for the response Silal. I guess I may still be a little confused. Is the mixer directly affecting the audio in final cut pro or is it strictly monitoring the audio in the time line. With the use of the mixer I can connect a mic..., Which I understand, but if that is the case than I will be able to directly alter the audio content by being able to add the audio from the mic, and if that is so, then I guess FCP will recognize the mixer and I will be able to directly affect the audio. Is that correct? I know I am probably making this harder than it is. I just want to know fundamentally if using an external mixer allows me to alter the audio directly or just monitor the output. And is connecting it via the standard Mac audio input all that is needed or do I need other hardware. Sorry if I have made this even more confusing.

Can i make a video and use an external mixer for the sound?

can i make a video and use an external mixer for the sound with my ipod touch?

You need a special plug to use the iPod's mic in for the headphone jack. If you compare a headphone plug for a set that includes a mic and one that does not you can see that there is a difference.

I have an application, Soundboard, which sends audio via the aunetsend plugin. I'd like to manage the output of this application within Garageband as a track. Is there any possible way to do this?

Hi, Jim.
Thanks for your info.
the second link works now.
I kept trying the first link but I kept getting the same message,
not be able open page becuase invalid address.
Anyways,
Second QUESTION?
Is that software could be use to track a second iphone?
see, I have two iphones and I want to give one to my crazy son,
to track him what **** he's doing.
I know there are seperate devices that I can do that only., but
since I have two iphones already, I don't see a reason why to spend more
money if with the iphones that laready have I can do the same thing.
Please, let me know if that would work or
if there is something else available for that.
Thanks so much again.

Budgetary Ledger is used without Periodic Based Encumbrance Tracking

Hello dear experts,
If I post any budget document as a fund reservation (FMX1) a fund precommitment (FMY1) or a fund commitment (FMZ1) the systems shows the following error message:
Message no. FMFG_BLCORE030
"Budgetary Ledger is used without Periodic Based Encumbrance Tracking".
After the systems show that message, error message (in red), is extrange because the systems lets save. This happen in the different transaction before written.
The great problem comes at the moment that I want to post the payment request because the systems in this point does not let me save the document.
Does any body know how can I repair this error message.
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards.
Rubé

Hello Ruben,
I am sorry because my previous reply may not be useful for you.
With "BL" I meant "Budgetary Ledger"
PBET is Period Based Encumbrance Tracking.
In other words, you should use an update profile being period-based and not fiscal year-based.
As a general rule, Spanish customers use update profile 109 or 359. So maybe update profile 350 would not help you as it works as fiscal year-based and you should override many value types in order to get Period-based (PBET) active.
You can find how your update profile will work by using report RFFMMONI. This report shows the basic settings of your FM Area and how the relevant value types will update FM depending on the assigned update profile.
Regarding to PBET:
If you are not familiar with this functionality, let me suggest you to visit this link:

I understand the fact that probably the help.sap.com may not look as useful as you expect since probably you may not find all answers "in the next 2 seconds". But I think it is a really good start point...
Hope it is useful for you
Kind regards,

Does Mainstage 2.2 fix the bug when using Ultrabeat as your click track / metronome?

There was a bug where the Ultrabeat sequencer would run, but no sound would come through the channel strip. It's pretty annoying to have to pay $30 for a bug fix, but I might do it, if it would indeed fix the bug.
Does anyone know? Thanks

I'm currently using UB as my click track. I created a custom template in UB and imported my click samples. I do not set up UB at concert level but instead set up UB at each one of my SETS level. I set the tempo and time signature under each SET.
I then map a button to ACTIONS>PLAY/STOP not to CLICK(name of channel strip)>ULTRABEAT (Drum Synth)>SEQUENCER PLAY/STOP. This allows me to stop and start the click track and for the drummer to count the song off whenever he feels like.
I then use PLAYBACK to play my backing tracks in time with the click. I map a button for PLAYBACK to NAME OF PLAYBACK TRACK>PLAYBACK>TRANSPORT>PLAY/STOP (From Start).
Under my PLAYBACK options I set SNAP TO>BEAT and PLAY FROM>CURRENT POSITION.
The only problem I've found with this is that if you start the PLAYBACK before the UB click it will turn on the UB click. Other than that it has been working well for me.
Also, add a button mapped to PANIC somewhere in your setup so you can cease any/all midi/tracks at anytime.

Can I use pan control in stereo track and balance control in mono track ?

it seems that in logic I can only use pan control in mono track and balance control in stereo track .

This is a flaw from the first days of Logic.
There is a "helper" plug in called "direction ....." - I can't remember the full name. Anyway, it gives you more control over stereo tracks. You can narrow the width (left - right) and pan accordingly.
Hope this helps.
