Using MainStage/Logic live as effects/processor for multiple audio inputs in PA application

I have a Mackie Onyx desk with firewire and Mackie control surface that I use for recording. Could I use either Logic or MainStage in a live application with the Mackie as audio input/output but using Logic processor/fx inserts on each audio channel?
Effectively using the software to replicate digital mixing desk processing
I can use either my iMac or Macbook pro
Has anybody done this (I'm sure you have), good points/bad points "don't even think of it!" comments appreciated
Thanks
Tim
BTW, now using Mavericks OS but haven't updated my signature :-)

should work fine.  Hopefully your machine can handle low-latency (like a 128 setting in the audio prefs).  The lower the better, but you don't want to over-stress your machine, so experiment with those settings.

  • Can I use HDMI port on my Macbook Pro for digital audio INPUT?

    Trying to find a way to get digital audio input to my new MBP with retina.  HDMI supports audio and video, so can I use that port as an input?

    It is not recommenced to use TimeMachine in a partition, either on the boot drive or externals because of problems in the past with that arrangement.
    You also need hardware protection in addition to software protection.
    If you want to do what I do, which is have a second 50% partition bootable clone of the first.
    1: Use BootCamp software to create yourself a 50% sized partition, then exit the program. (you also can do it in Disk Utility, but it's tricky)
    2: Head to Disk Utility and select the BOOTCAMP partition and change it's name and format to OS X Extended Journaled.
    (To map off bad sectors in advance, use Disk Utility Erase with the next to last on the right selection, improves reliability and makes for faster reads)
    3: Download Carbon Copy Cloner, now select your Macintosh HD partition and clone it to the second partition.
    4: Whenever you want to boot from the second partition, just hold the option key down on the keyboard to select it to boot from.
    You can access the folders on the second boot partition as well, to grab deleted files you accidentally erased (which is a rare thing for most to occur) however you should leave it alone and as a clone.
    You can update the clone when you need to, or schedule it to run automatically.
    You should also do this occasionally with a external drive, as the internal drive can die and take both partitions with it.
    I currently do this with my laptop, that way if I'm mobile and have a serious issue, I can boot from the cloned partition in seconds without carrying a drive around. If I need large space for something I wasn't aware of, I can erase the clone partition and later clone it again.
    Software does all the work, just pick a time your not using the machine and let it work. Painless really.

  • Can I use the same icloud username and password for multiple phones?

    I have 6 iphones and wanted to use Apple Configurator to install the same apps on all 6 phones.  Some of the apps though, also require further installation by email.  Can I use the same iCloud username and password for all 6 phones to download the apps and also to configure email or do I need to create 6 different Apple IDs?

    If different people will be using these phones, you might be better off using the same Apple ID for the iTunes content...apps, music, etc. on each of these devices, but create different ID's for iCloud on each device. You can use one ID for the iTunes/App store, & a different ID for iCloud. That way, messages, notes, contacts, calendars, etc will be kept separate on each device.

  • Can I use multiple audio inputs in Flash Media Live Encoder?

    This is the closet forum section to that program and I was wondering if there was any way to take the audio input from my capture card as well as a microphone and use those together at the same time.

    FMLE will not directly mux audio connections from different sources. You could try possibly using a "Virtual Audio Cable", which is a outside program. Search Google for it.
    If you want to have more control over what you broadcast, I suggest using a 3rd party program such as Telestream Wirecast, or Xsplit..
    Xsplit is a realtively cheap alternative to Wirecast which is pricey.

  • After effects crashing when changing audio input

    Hi all,
    I've been trying to get my Steinberg (Yamaha) ur-28m external USB audio interface/soundcard to work with After Effects CS6 for a week now. The problem is that everytime I change the audio input in the AE preferences to the Steinberg asio drivers AE freezes for a few seconds and then crashes. Same thing happens in Premiere btw.
    I've tried everything possible:
    - updated Steinberg drivers to newest version
    - updated AE to latest version
    - trashed preferences
    - totally removed and installed master collection again
    - formatted hd and Reinstalled windows 7 and installed Master collection again.
    - tried all possibles buffer rates
    Problem still there...
    I looked into the events log and it mentions ntdll.dll and makes afterfx.exe crash.
    Bottom line is I can't work with sound now, which is really frustrating. In other programs (non Adobe) these drivers are rock solid.
    Apparantly After effects (and in my case premiere also) doesn't like Steinberg. I saw this other thread about Steinberg in After Effects: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1063355.
    Doesn't look like it's been solved.
    Main specs of my pc:
    Intel i7-2600
    16GB ram Corsair
    Nvidia gtx 560 ti
    Gigabyte Z68P-DS3 motherboard
    Seagate 1TB (7200rpm)
    Anybody some ideas? Thanks!!

    Basically what I did was set it as the line out for sound from windows, so
    all sounds will be routed through the UR22 (Will work with any program).
    You can leave it set as is to have windows sounds play out of the computer
    line/speaker out and go into the sound settings in Premiere and set the
    audio playback device as the UR22 (Only Premiere plays out of UR22) but
    that is where i had problems. I just set all audio playback in windows to
    route to the UR22 (Line Out in windows) and left settings in Premiere alone
    (In Playback settings leave audio device as Adobe Desktop Audio....Premiere
    routes to windows output, which i set to UR22) and everything worked fine.
    I am a video editor and spend 95% of my time in Premiere and  some time in
    Audition and After Effects and it has worked great.The only issue I have
    had with the UR22 is that every once in a while if i leave my system on
    over night rendering and playback something the next morning any audio will
    sound like it is playing back too slow (Pitch shifted lower). But all you
    have to do is unplug the usb and plug it back in and all is well again.
    Hope this helps. Good luck.

  • How to make "check for multiple logons" mandatory in webdynpro application.

    Hi SDN members,
    Im having a problem with an application developed in webdynpro abap.
    We require that  end-user only have a session per computer (ip address),
    I already tried to achieve this by configuring the webdynpro application throguh SICF and going to Error Pages -> Logon Errors --> System Logon and mark the checkbox Check for multiple logons.
    This configurations give only a warning when the user logs multiple times, and show a checkbox letting the user decide to end or not the previous sessions.
    How to make end previuos sessions mandatory ??
    Regards,
    Franklin Cedillo

    You would have to enforce this at the application level. You can get the IP address of the current client from the framework - IF_WD_APPLICATION method GET_REMOTE_ADDRESS.
    You could write an entry with the IP address into a temporary table during WDDOINIT.  You could clear the entry in the WDDOEXIT.  Also during the WDDOINIT, check to see if there is already an entry for this IP address.  If so, then fire an exit nagivation plug to a static MIME object or BSP page that explains why the user can only be logged in once.

  • Viewing total duration for multiple audio files

    I need to be able to view 'total duration', when selecting multiple audio files, e.g. 10 audio files, total duration 42.03. I can't find a way to do this and so far, all I've been able to do is view individual audio file durations, then total them manually (which takes far too long, for what I need to do). I've previously been a Windows user, and this is instantly viewable in Explorer.
    I'm new to OS X, and really need to be able to do this for my job. Can anyone help??
    Thanks in advance, Marc

    Here's an image to explain better:

    However the total time isn't 100% accurate, because I believe iTunes is adding some extra seconds for the gaps in between songs.

  • Move Logic 9 to External Drive for Multiple Computers

    I'm looking for advice on moving ALL my Logic-9 data & settings & plugins to an external HDD, so I can seamlessly move between two different computers: a 2010 MBP with OSx10.6.8 + Logic 9.1.7 and a MacPro with OSx10.8.5 + Logic 9.1.8 (different Logic versions because different OSx’s?). I researched and learned plenty but found nothing consolidated into one thread. Blending various --sometimes contradictory-- instructions, I moved a lot & all works so far, but I wonder if I’ve moved too much or not enough. I took 8+ hours (very methodically) to get this to work, but had I found this already written-up, I would have taken only a couple hours. I hope my experience might help others (if I’m over-posting I apologize).
    Both computers are running Logic 9, with software instruments: Addictive Drums 1.5.2, Kontakt 5.0.1 + Mojo Horns, and Bass Station 1.6.0. , as well as the plugin effects: iZotope Nectar  1.1.4, Ozone 5.0.4., Insight 1.02, Alloy 2.0.2, Focusrite Plugin Suite, Midnight Plugin Suite. Before starting the move I opened Logic on each computer and did the “Download Additional Content” to download everything available; funny thing is… the laptop ended up with 102 [Apple Loops or Garageband?] files while the desktop came out with 104. Also, I had to unhide my “User/Library” folder which Mountain Lion hides, using one of the methods described in other postings.
    Here’s a step-by-step of what I did so far:
    1) Save every project’s assets (audio, etc) within its project folder.
    2) Copy the “EXS Factory Samples” folder from  Laptop HD/Library/Application Support/Logic/  to the ExternalHDD. I created a symlink of this folder, and put the symlink back in the original Laptop HD/Library/Application Support/Logic/  folder, so Logic will be pointed to the ExternalHDD. I renamed the original folder in the laptop to “EXS Factory Samples MOVED” rather than deleting it (until I’m sure it’s totally safe). I renamed the “EXS Factory Samples symlink” to “EXS Factory Samples” so Logic will think it is the original folder. I followed this same symlink-&-rename method for all the rest of my transfers that followed. 3) Move the “Sampler Files” folder from  Laptop HD/Library/Application Support/Garageband/Instrument Library/Sampler ,  to ExternalHDD.
    4) Transfer “Logic” folder with all my Logic projects from Laptop HD/Users/My User-Home/Music/  to ExternalHDD. 
    5) Transfer “iZotope” folder from Laptop HD/Users/My User-Home /Documents/  to ExternalHDD (this has all my presets for Alloy & Ozone), transfer “iZotope Nectar” from the same location. I also transferred the folder where I kept all my audio/midi interface & controller settings.
    6) Transfer “Apple Loops” folder, “Presets” folder, and “MIDI Configurations” from  Laptop HD/Users/My User-Home /Documents/Audio/  to ExternalHDD.  Remember that all these are done using the same symlink-rename method for safety purposes.
    7) I was afraid there may be bad consequences to transferring the entire “Logic” folder from Laptop HD/Users/My User-Home /Library/Application Support/ , so I instead transferred INDIVIDUALLY each settings-folder within Laptop HD/Users/My User-Home /Library/ Application Support/Logic/  (“Channel Strip Settings”, “Chord Grids”, “Data Management Settings”, “Key Commands”, “Plug-in Settings”, “Project Templates”, “Sampler Instruments”, “Temp”, “Undo”).  BTW, some of these folders did not exist on the desktop computer yet. 
    8)Now connect the ExternalHDD to the desktop computer and copy all the same symlinks that  were created that ExternalHDD, and paste them each into their respective places on the desktop computer. Use the same symlink-rename method just-in-case. In some cases I had to create folders that did not yet exist.
    9) Trash the no-longer-necessary symlinks that are still on the ExternalHDD.
    Although I consolidated lots for this write-up, DO ALL THESE STEP-BY-STEP,  TESTING THAT EVERYTHING WORKS AT EACH STEP.
    Question: Should I also transfer some other folders from [Laptop HD/Users/My User-Home /Library/ Application Support/]? In there lie more folders called Addictive Drums, iZotope, Focusrite-SaffirePro24DSP, Native Instruments, Novation, "LogicLoopmasters sample library", etc. that I wonder about, because the appear to include settings files as well as data files. Perhaps just copy paste some of these settings from one computer to the other? All suggestions & experiences appreciated!

    Hello Chris Jones,
    I just found this and I'm trying to figure it out so your post is an excellent starting point, thank you! Since you posted this in Feb are there any things you would change or you found out after doing it? And how is everything running?
    As a data point, I just added a SSD as the startup drive to an older mac pro (1,1) which is only used for Logic Pro and the speed now is amazing. Now I want to see if I can off-load the same things you have dealt with. Any additional insight will be greatly appreciated and thanks again for taking to time to document it.

  • Multiple use of the same video time line for different audio tracks

    I have a 90 minute video timeline
    I will be putting different audio tracks in multiple languages.
    But as i was just editing i wondered if i could use only a segment (30 minutes ) of the timeline
    along with a 30 minute audio.
    Example:
    So the first thing on the menu will be the whole 90 minute video
    with a 90 minute music track
    Second thing might be the 90 minute video with a 90 minute commentary
    Third thing might be the first 30 minutes of video with a different commentary
    Forth thing on the menu might be the first 30 minutes of video and 30 minutes of
    a different language
    Etc.
    I realize i will need to make space (mb)  for all the audio.....but if i could use the same video or pieces of it
    that would be fantastic.
    If i can do this i am presuming i should use playlists and chapter playlists to get it done?
    I have never done this before and would love some feedback on an over view or tips
    that might save me some guess work
    Thanks for any help :-)

    Hey Stan!
    Thanks for your help...i think i am really getting this. And have learned a lot.
    I had to go back to my computer programming and flowcharting skills to figure out the flow :-)
    And i still have 153mb to spare when i build it.
    I ended up lining up all the different videos and audios exactly for each time line except for 1 timeline.
    Question: I know if the audio is shorter it will be ok.... but if the audio is longer than the video on a timeline ( and its the audio i assigned it by specify link )
    Will the DVD keep playing until the audio is done or end when the video is done playing?
    2nd Question: I am previewing the playlists with the "Preview from Here" feature
    I specify the link and chapter within that timeline ( it is the only timeline with more than one chaper....the one with the longer audio than video from the question above )
    For most of the audios i only need video chapter 1.....the preview here plays it ok but if i hit the skip to next (in the preview button on theright of the play button)...it goes to the next chapter #2... instead of the next timeline chapter 1 like it is programed to do from the playlist.
    I am wondering if this is just fluke in the preview feature...or will it do that on the actual DVD as well?
    Lastly because i am using different timelines. I am wondering if there are delays between playlists? for example...i have a long audio that continues between three timelines...i have spliced it pretty fine so it picks up perfectly on the next timeline...but i am wondering if the DVD when playing in realtime will have a little black space inbetween timelines.
    Thanks again for your help and time :-)

    Hiya Mark.
    DVD-Video is video dominant, with the audio always following the visuals so if the audio ends berfore the video it will not (okay, should not) be a problem.
    However, the other way around could go either way - if the actual video timeline has ended the audio may well truncate so I would personally add videoblack at the very least.
    I am also not at all sure how you are going to work a single contiguous audio file across 3 separate playlists. This sounds flawed in concept to me (have I misunderstood your meaning?). In DVD-Video the format is graphically/visually dominant - the audio must always be tied to a visual asset be it a menu or a timeline - so there is no way to have one piece of audio playing across 3 timelines and having it play back glitch free whilst the timeline changes. You will not get a black space - it will simply stop. So unless I have misunderstood you in some way.........
    As Stan says, preview is flaky - the only way to know for sure is to multiplex & burn.

  • Using Time Machine and external USB drive for multiple Macs

    I just bought a 1.5TB external portable drive.  I have 4 macs in the household that might have about 400 - 500 GB of total HD capacity for the four of them.  I am very confused on whether to create a separate partition for each mac, or let Time Machine manage the entire, single-partition drive.
    The reason I ask is because I have run into issues with a smaller external HD where it didnt seem to know to remove old backups to make room for new ones.  But, its' possible the 750 GB drive was too small to do what it needed to do.
    So, I am looking for some definitive information on the best way to do this.  Obviously, i'd rather leave the 1.5TB as a single partition, and hope (and expect) Time Machine to manage the backups of the four macs in such a way that it can properly make room as backups are added to the drive.
    THoughts?

    Use a 1TB Time Capsule to backup wirelessly and a FW800 external drive for speed in case I need to reinstall. Therefore having 2 backups?
    You can do that, but not simultaneously. TM only has one destination a a time; you can back up to the TC, then select the external HD via TM Preferences, then switch back.
    I've been down the road of using SD (cloning) and am ready to move on to another backup strategy. Cloning works fine but it dedicates a drive 100% of the time where TM doesn't.
    I don't know what you mean by that. I use CarbonCopyCloner (similar to SD) in addition to full TM backups, so I have two separate, independent backups, on two separate drives, and get the advantages of both. You can partition an external drive (but not a Time Capsule), so you could have your clone on one partition, and other things in one or more additional partitions (I do that as well). As long as the "clone" partition is the same size as your internal HD (or at a minimum, at least 15% larger than the amount of data on it), you can use the rest of the space for anything else.
    See #5 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum for detailed instructions on setting-up a drive for Time Machine. The same procedure works for setting one up for a clone and other partition(s), too.

  • Using the same field on a form for multiple menu/drop down list

    I have a form that tracks people that attend orientations.  It is possible for an Attendee to attend the same orientation up to three times.
    In using the Update record wizard, I have two recordsets, rsAttendees and rsOrientation from two separate tables.
    I want to be able to use the rsOrientation to create a drop down list, but I want to use that same recordset field as the source for the dropdown 3 times on the same record.
    There are 3 fields on the Attendee form:
    Orientation1, Orientation2, and Orientation3.
    Using the wizard, I set each up as a Menu, then select the rsOrientation, Orientation.Date as the source for all 3. 
    The problem is that only the Orientation1 field is populated.  Orientation2 and Orientation3 dropdowns are blank.
