Using mainstage with two instruments at the same time

Hi, I'm using an M-Audio firewire solo as an interface with my macbook. I have a usb keyboard and want to play guitar as well, switching between the two onstage. My question is, how do I get the outputs to the soundboard so they can be mixed separately? The interface has two inputs and balanced outputs (ch1 and ch2). I want channel 1 (gtr) to go to ch1 of the output and channel 2 (keys) to go to ch2 of the output so they can be mixed to the front of house and monitor mixes. Is this even possible using mainstage or logic, or even by just using the headphone out on the macbook?

Since MainStage only deals with outputs in stereo. You'll need to do some panning. Pan your Guitar fully LEFT, and your keys fully RIGHT. That'll give you two separate outputs....
FYI, there are some issues with panning in MainStage 2. So, to get around this.... Create two Sub Aux channels. One called Guitar Out, and the other Keys Out. Do your panning there and not on the individual channels. And send channel one to the Guitar Out Aux, and the Keys to Keys Out Aux.

One again, "can I use CC on two computers at the same time?" - in practice.

I know this has been asked before and all those threads are locked. Many asked the question, but I haven't found a satisfying answer yet.
Can I multi task with CC?
I want to have my laptop next to my desktop. And while I render, export or whatever my newly shot documentary on the laptop I want to work with a music video project on my desktop. Then when the render is finished I render the music video and go back to the laptop and continue on the documentary. Or maybe I just work 5 minutes on the desktop music video, then come up with something brilliant for the project on the laptop and switch. Back and forth. Will that kind of activity result in any kind of limitation, usage-wise?
So, working on Premiere on my two computers at the same time.. is it possible? Technically? I know the EULA says "only one person". But will it let one person mutli task?
I need to know this before I buy. sorry for asking this again, please bless me with a clear answer

Hi Jimmy Crim,
Yes in case of Creative cloud subscription you are allowed to install and use the cc apps in any two machines.
Even if you want you care allowed to use these apps together in both the machines.
Thanks

Can I use one GBIP-Interface with two programs at the same time?

Hi, I have one PCI-GBIP-controller with multiple instruments installed. Now I want to use these instruments with two differents programs at the same time.
E.g.: program 1 uses GPIB0::1 and GPIB0::3
and program 2 uses GPIB0::4 and GPIB0::7
Is this possible??
When I have tried to do this, I always got timeout errors..
Thanx in advance.

Hi,
You shouldn't have any problems accessing different devices from different programs using the same interface. I even used the two VIs to communicate with the same device. Although not the best approach, VISA didn't return any errors.

Using a Dell 2407WFP with two Macs at the same time?

Hi ... I have a Dell Ultrasharp 24" WFP display that I was using with my old G4. Connectivity isn't the issue ... it works beautifully on both the G4 and my new Mini. I've read that I can put the VGA cable on the G4 (no biggie -- it's what I was using before) and I have the DVI on the Mini.
What I want to know is: Can I (and is it wise to) have both machines running at the same time and toggle the display between the two or should I keep one machine off when the other is on? There is a button on the display for toggling between a variety of displays.
I've activated file sharing, etc. on the old box, but there are some things I still can't do unless I'm on the G4 desktop -- mostly my graphic apps. I've been holding off from swapping cables around, but now it's getting to the point that I need to get back on the G4 because of apps that I don't have on the Mini.
I haven't put the VGA cable back on the G4 yet. It seems like it -should- work -- I just need some verification that it will or won't futz up something. I think what I might be most concerned about is that the monitor isn't powerful enough to run both machines at the same time, but I could be wrong.
The info at the Dell site is somewhat dated.
TIA!

I use a KVM switch with a Dell monitor that has DVI and VGA inputs. I only route the K an M portions (keyboard and mouse) through the switch. The computers connect directly via VGA and DVI to the Monitor, and then I use the monitor's switch to make the video switch. Works fine. Don't worry about taxing the monitor.
I'd suggest buying the KVM switch from a vendor with easy return policies, since it can take a few tries to find a model you like.

Apex mixes applications working with two windows at the same time

Hi all, while developing in Apex I have found the following problem:
Working with two different applications at the same time, the browser goes from one to another indistinctly.
To reproduce the problem:
1. Open the same application builder in two different Firefox windows
2. Open a different application in each window (In my case: application 103 in window1 and application 105 in window2)
3. Go to shared components in both windows (window1 first)
- window1 breadcrumbs show: Home > Application Builder > Application 103 > Shared Components
- window2 breadcrumbs show: Home > Application Builder > Application 105 > Shared Components
4. Click in any shared component in window1 (Templates, Authentication Schemes...)
- window1 breadcrumbs show: Home > Application Builder > Application *105* > Shared Components > Templates (Application 105 instead of 103)
Is it a bug? I have read the known issues [[Here]|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/downloads/apex402knownissues-189793.html] but it does not appear.
Related Data:
Application Express version 4.0.2.00.07
Firefox 3.6.15
SO: Windows XP
The error is not reproduced with IE7. I have not tested any other browser.

If you tried opening up two pages in the same application each of which modifies the same page items, you would notice the same issue.
This is because, in a session there is only one set of values for page items(or application items) and every parallel call to the same page would update the same bind variables.
Now the development environment or Apex Builder is also an apex application , and when try and open up the pages as you mentioned, they both access the same Application Builder page and sets/resets any existing values for those variables(and maybe cookies too if they are being used) , hence the 'mixing up'.
If that didn't convince you, check the URL of both the pages when you load them, they should show the same page number ( f?p=APP_ID:PAGE_NUMBER syntax). Imagine if the same approach was done with one of your application pages, say an edit form opened from a report with multiple records in multiple tabs like what happened with this case: {message:id=9346663}
So this really isn't a bug in a way, because that is how session states in apex is/was maintained. Ofcourse if they used another kind of development platform for building pages, it may have been avoided, but thats an altogether different point in itself.

MacBook Pro Freezes while using more than two applications at the same time

Over the last two weeks my MBP has been freezing every time i use two or more applications at the same time. For e.g. my whole system freezes from time to time when i use itunes and safari at the same time. This problem never existed before and has just started recently and is really annoying. What can i do to fix it?

Rather than re-installing Safari have you tried simply "Resetting" it (head to "Reset safari" under the "Safari" menu). It is possible that something in your user folder that supports Safari is really the cause of the problem. Re-installing Safari won't deal with this, but re-setting it can.
In fact the first thing you should try is simply choosing "Empty cache..". If your cache files are corrupted then this in itself could explain the behaviour.
If you choose to do the Reset first try it with just "Empty cache" and "remove all website icons" selected. This will reduce the amount that you will "lose" in the process. (Cookies, history, etc). Add in additional options if the first attempt doesn't fix it.

Can I upgrade my membership to use it with 4 computers at the same time?

I have an Adobe membership and I am using it fine on my computer
Now more people are joining and I am thinking of upgrading my membership to be used on 4 computers at the same time.
Kindly advice if that is possible and how to do it.

Hi Issam
Each user needs to have their own membership so they would each need to sign up using an unique Adobe ID.

Play two instruments at the same time?

Hi!
I'm stuck with GarageBand right now, where I can only play one instrument at a time. Preferably I want to play both (for example) piano and strings using one real-time MIDI input. Is it possible to do that with either Logic Express or Pro?

Do you mean play the same thing at once with two instrumets simultaneously playing two different sounds?

3.2.3;Swing app.; Cannot work with two applications at the same time.

Hi guys,
I bring this problem here may somebody experienced that.
I developed two client side applications(applets) with JDev3.2.3.
Locate them on Apache/Tomcat. There is also a
Index.html file with two links, so when user clicks on
each link the associated application will downloaded
on his/her PC and ready to work. (In index.html I used
JavaScript function window.open(…) to load the applications)
Now please see this scenario:
1-I ran/loaded both application in two separate
browsers(IE5.5). And tried to work with them(minimized
one and work with another). Soon I faced unexpected
frizzing/locking or very slow running on both
applications.
2-Then closed/killed one of them(killed IE). Then
re-executed same application again. The application
loaded with the last activated screen . Seems it never
killed and it was still alive.
3- The only way to successfully working is one by one.
Means execute & work with one, then kill that, and
then execute and work with another. Which is not expected
in the Windows enviroment.
To Debug:
When both applications were running(each on it’s own
IE), I opened the Task Manager and saw there was only
one IEXPLORER.EXE was running, also there was only one
Java VM (a little bird icon) on right-bottom of the
screen.
I believe this causes the problem. Seems they both
running in the same session. Since I opened two
applications in two IE I was expected to see two
IEXPLORER.EXE with two JVM. Am I right? Do you think
so?
Any way, Now I am seeking to find the solution. My
primary mind says probably I should not use
window.open(..) in index.html to load the
applications.
Would appreciate any command on this.

Same thing with me! My microphone doesn't even register in anything but ventrilo!
It's dri'ves me NUTS! I bought the card (xfi fatalty) for a really good price, but I almost regret even looking into the soundcard because of this bug. I know Vista is a new operating system..but I figure'd this kind of update should have been noticed MUCH earlier..
Please creative, can you fix this?
On another note..is there a sound quality difference between using an x-fi in vista vs xp?
*not meaning to thread jack*
finally..
you should probably close the other thread.. You made two, you know.

How can I work with two images at the same time?

I have downloaded Photoshop Elements 10 and I can not find the buttons for Minimize or Reset for the image. If I rightclick the miniature those options are grey. If I open two images so I have two miniatures in the holder and then go to Windows and Images the option Show Overlapping is grey but I can show Side by side. Then I can only shut down the images.
Thanks for help

Two images at the same time

Hi!
I'm new into FCE and I would like to ask for some help. Can I work with two images at the same time? I mean, Can I superimpose two images to make one? How can I do it?
Maybe this is something easy, but I'm just starting,
thanks in advance for your answers

Yes, you can. You can put one clip on top of the other in the timeline. You can make both clips visible by reducing the opposite of the clip or top, or by scaling back the clips so they are smaller. You can reduce the opacity and scale of the clips in the viewer by opening the clips from the timeline into the viewer. You can also scale the images directly in the canvas when it is in Image+Wireframe mode.

Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts on the same computer?

What do I do to REMOVE an old AIM account and replace it with a new account in IChat?
Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts in the same computer?
(Actually, two people share a laptop, but one of us cannot use her AIM account cuz mine is in iChat already... And, when traveling, I have the computer - and I would like to use iChat on the computer...)

In iChat 4 you can have more than one AIM Valid name logged in at once.
AIM valid = AIM, @mac.com or a MobileMe name.
What you are then stuck with is that iChat is linked to one Buddy Picture and The one Mac User Account's Address Book which may or may not have Full Names, emails details, or a Nickname in iChat 4 linked to the Screen Names.
Whilst it does let you both log in whilst using one Mac User Account there are drawbacks about who uses the keyboard and reading meesages from the other persons Buddies.

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room both of them answer

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room, the two of them answer. So if the person sitting near me is doing something else I interrupt them... this is quite annoying!
Does anyone know how to solve this? Should I report it as a bug? Where?

Hi Carito,
It is not a bug, all you have to do is pairing them.

Using the same object in two actors at the same time

Hello,
I'm in doubt. In my application, for example i have three Hardware classes - Database, DAQ1, DAQ2.
Database class has one main method (except initialization methods) - Log Measure.
DAQ1 class also has one method - Get Voltage, and DAQ2 class has one method - Get Current.
Then i define two HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) classes - Measurement1 and Measurement2.
Each of those classes have two main methods, respectively - Measure Voltage and Measure Curent. They also have some initilziation methods.
In code, i create three objects of Hardware classes - Database, DAQ1 and DAQ2 and initiaze it. For example in Database private cluster i have DB RefNum, in DAQ1&2 i have device addresses etc.
Next I initialzie Measurement1 with two hardware objects - Database and DAQ1, and in the same way - Measurement2 with Database, and DAQ2 objects.
What Measure Voltage and Measure Curent (methods of Measurement1 and Measurement1 objects) do?
Measure Voltage method call DAQ1::Get Voltage method, then Database::Log Measure.
Similarly, Measure Current method call DAQ2::Get Voltage method, then Database::Log Measure.
Till now it's clear i think. It should work properly.
But now i incorporate Actor Framework, and define Measurement1 and Measurement2 as an actors.
Now i can run Measurement1 and Measurement2 at the same time, simultaneously, but this two actors share one object - Database. So my question - what is when actors want to use Database::Log measure method at the same time and this method is time cosuming (for example large pack of data).
Is one actor waits for second to stop executing this method of one shared object? I think yes because reentrancy setting (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/lvconcepts/reentrancy/)
But what, for example if i share one Hardware object of device (ADC converter) beetwen two HAL classes (Measurement1 and Measurement2). This Hardware object has two methods, for ex. Get Voltage At channel 1, and Get Voltage At Channel 2. Both of this methods cannot by call at the same time, because in physical device i can measure only at one channel in the same time.
Let the Get Voltage At channel X meausere take 10 seconds. Now i have huge chance, that Measurement 1 actor call Get Voltage At channel 1 method, and Measurement 2 wants to call Get Voltage At channel 2, when Get Voltage At channel 1 is in process. How to inform actor to wait till second actor release device resources?

Dear Kacper,
the way I understood, there are two separate questions in this post, namely:
I'm using a shared resource in multiple actors, and the code accessing the resource can take quite some time to execute. How can can I ensure this does not mess up the timing of one or all accessors?
I'm using a shared resource in multiple actors, and the code accessing the resource can generate errors if I try to access it from multiple places. How can I ensure synchronization between all accessors?
As for the first question, the optimal solution to separate the resource prone to timing issues in a different thread/actor. Put anything that is not strictly timed (file access, network comunication) in a separate loop. For each actor, you will get queue references to communicate with, so instead of logging the measurements in the actors where they are made, just queue them up for a different loop to process.
For the second part, the same logic still applies. Ideally, every singular resource should be handled by its own thread and nowhere else, so if anything else needs data from/to said resource, it can send a request to the dedicated thread or actor.
If, for some reason, this is not sufficient, you have to handle synchronization in some other way. There are a lot of techniques here, for example:
Create a named semaphore or lock as a part of the class. Have class functions use the semaphore before accessing the resource.
Use actor messages. Have a "resource in use" or "resource released" messages sent to all users whenever obtaining or releasing said resource.
Have a separate actor handle all resources, awarding them to threads needing them. This method also allows setting priorities between requests.
These are just a few examples, there are many other options.
Please let me know if this was helpful.
Kind regards:
