Using multiple headphones

I currently use logic 8 and a saffire pro 40 to record live music. What I want to be able to do is have 5 headphones- one to each person playing- with a different mix in each. For example, for the lead guitarist, I want his instrument louder in his headphones so he can hear clearly over the drums, without changing the volume on the recording.
I have read of a few ways of doing this, but they all seem unnecessarily complicated and I can't get them working properly in practice.
Any advice is much appreciated (pitched at a novice level)!
Thanks

You'll need multiple independent outputs, and send an independent stereo mix to each. The way this is usually done is to use sends to busses, and set up your alternative mix by varying the send levels on each channel to each bus.
It can be quite complicated or messy if you really need total control over multiple headphone mixes, especially with complicated mix setups.
Easier still is to have independent stem mixes, rather than complete mixes (so for instance, you could have stems of drums, keyboards, bass, vox, bvox, guitars etc so you could vary the stem levels for each mix.)
In any case, you'll have to have an interface that supports 5 or more stereo outputs, and some way of connecting those line level outputs to headphones.

Using multiple headphones with apple tv and projector?

Hi,
I own a Barbers where we have an apple tv set up with a projector (through HDMI). It would probably be a good point to say this is attached to the ceiling
As we're trying to take things to the next level, i was wanting to provide over-ear headphones on the waiting area for people to listen to whatever is playing on the screen.
Currently, i have tried a 20m long audio jack (connected to the projector and a headphone splitter) which dulls the sound dramatically to the point of it being unlistenable. I have heard of splitters with amplifiers to boost the sound but i was wondering if there was another way?
As apple TV uses airplay i have tried to research into this with little to no luck. As we are a fairly new business i'm trying to keep costs low.
The guy from apple advised to buy sonos PLAY1 and said that these work with air play (which wasn't true so i had to send this back, later finding that only the sonos bar works with airplay)
I like to think of myself as fairly tech savvy but this is starting to get out of my league. Is there any fairly simple solution to achieve multiple headphones that'll recieve the same sound without loosing too much volume?

Hi,
That's because the ATV only allows one iTunes library to sync with it, you can however stream up to 5 computers

Multiple Headphone outs question

Hi there,
I recently asked for a bit of help getting my home studio setup sorted and I just need a bit more advice please!
While I'm experienced in the live room of a studio, I'm still very much an amateur on the other side of the glass! Basically I'm just putting together a basic setup to track some demo's / ideas with my band. So far, I've got a Motu 8PRE interface running the drum and instrument mics into Logic and the outs from the 8PRE going to the monitors. My question is this...
How do I set up multiple headphone outputs with independent mixes so band members can have a custom mix in their headphones? I'm having a hard time figuring out how this would work and have no idea what I need to do in Logic to set it up, and also what hardware I might need.
If anyone could explain this, both how to set it up in Logic and the kind of hardware I would need that would be fantastic!
Many thanks in advance

1) Yes
2) Sorry - I assumed that box had 8 outs too - I assumed wrong. You could get an additional multi-channel interface which accepts ADAT inputs as well as analog, which would give you great flexibility. MOTU makes several - better yet check out RME, Focusrite, and others. There are dozens on the market - it depends on your budget and future expansion plans.
3) Yes, or a headphone distribution system - but again, your budget will determine this. Hear, Furman and Aviom all have systems. Or for much less, Presonus headphone amps. Depending on your physical set up, you might need a snake unless you're using an already wired recording room.
Good luck.

I just received a brand new iPod touch as a gift. But when I try to play music on it the speaker is extremely slow. When I plug in headphones I hear nothing. Tried multiple headphones. Tried a restore.

Try here:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
You said you restored the iPod. Was the restore successful, that is, it went though all the steps without errors?
Try a restore to factory settings/new iPod if yuhave not doe so so far.
Are you using the headphones that came with the iPod? Are you inserting the plug fully
Have you tried another set of headphones in the iPod?
The speaker is not that loud.

How do I use multiple addresses at one time?

Shouldn't the Adobe server page that allows for the entry of a recipients address tell users how to add another address? Do we separate them with semicolons? Commas? Or is it even possible to use multiple addresses?

Yes, Adobe Send.
Unfortunately, it is NOT spelled out on the page where you enter email addresses of recipients, nor is it revealed if you click on the question mark box by email address.

How do I use multiple accounts on the same Mac with Apple TV2?

I have home sharing turned on in two separate accounts on a single MacPro. When I am logged into both accounts, I can see both accounts' iTunes Libraries available in the AppleTV2. However, when I try to open each account iTunes Library in the AppleTV2, only one account will open (whichever one I logged into first). (In other words, I log into Account1 then open iTunes with Home Sharing On, then log into Account2 (while Account1 is still logged on), open iTunes with Home Sharing On. AppleTV2 shows Account1 Library and Account2 Library under Computers, but will only load Account1 Library. Account2 Library will just cause AppleTV2 to search for the Library then give an error.) How come AppleTV2 can see both Libraries but will only open one Library? How can I fix this?
Thanks,
zpockets

Thank you for replying. Both of the accounts are Admin accounts. The Libraries are kept in the user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on each account. However, I do use multiple iTunes Libraries on my Account1. One of the Libraries I use in Account1 is on a separate internal HD. However, the other Libraries I use in Account1 are stored in user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on the main HD (which hosts both Account1 and Account2). It doesn't seem to matter whether I am using an iTunes Library on an external drive or the main drive in Account1, I still get the same problem: only account1 library will load. AppleTV sees that the Account2 Library is there, but it won't load it.

How do I use multiple librarys to organize my projects

Is there a way to use multiple libraries to organize my projects. I don't like having all my projects in one library. I'd like separate libraries for Family_Movies, BirthdaysandHolidays, Vacations, etc...
Thanks.

You can create multiple folders in your Project Library. I have a folder for each year. Then within the year, if I make several videos on one subject (say a trip to Europe) I will create sub folders within the year.
There is no limitation on what you name your Folders, so you could name them Family Movies, Vacations, Birthdays, etc.
When you are in the Project Library View, you can click FILE/NEW FOLDER. For a subfolder, click on the parent folder and then click New Folder.

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

Using multiple 'and' conditions in a SQL query

Is it possible to reduce the SQL required to query using multiple 'and' conditions, e.g. I have a query like the following:
select stat.personal_id, appt.username, appt.password, apps.rgn_apt_id, apps.apy_apn_id
from apy_ast_application_status stat, rgn_usr_user appt, rgn_aps_applications apps
where stat.apy_apn_id = apps.rgn_apt_id
and apps.rgn_apt_id = appt.rgn_apt_id
and stat.application_completed is null
and stat.application_started_date > '01-MAY-11'
and stat.amount_paid is null
and stat.personal_details = 'C'
and stat.further_details = 'C'
and stat.education = 'C'
and stat.employment = 'C'
and stat.personal_statement = 'C'
and stat.choices = 'C'
and stat.reference = 'C'
and stat.student_finance = 'C'
Is there a way, to reduce all the multiple 'and' queries, to be read from say one line? If you know what I mean.......

Ah, Ok this looks nice, thanks very much. It doesn't quite run as is because the stat.amount_paid query value is 'is null', while the others are 'C'. I tried amending the relevant line to various versions of the following:-
in (select 'is null' 'C','C','C','C','C','C','C','C' from dual)
which doesn't work.
I can get the following to work so I am assuming that the it is not possible to use different query values within the brackets of the 'in (select....' statement?
select stat.personal_id, appt.username, appt.password, apps.rgn_apt_id, apps.apy_apn_id
from apy_ast_application_status stat, rgn_usr_user appt, rgn_aps_applications apps
where stat.apy_apn_id = apps.rgn_apt_id
and apps.rgn_apt_id = appt.rgn_apt_id
and stat.application_completed is null
and stat.application_started_date > '01-MAY-11'
and stat.amount_paid is null
and (stat.personal_details, stat.further_details, stat.education,
stat.employment, stat.personal_statement, stat.choices, stat.reference, stat.student_finance)
in (select 'C','C','C','C','C','C','C','C' from dual)
Thanks for everybodys help - the suggested alternatives seem so much more elegant

How do I use multiple VPP accounts in a school system with 1 Profile manager server?

I have 40 schools with their own money they want to spend on apps. I need these accounts to be seperate. We are registered in the Device enrollment program and are using Apple's profile manager to distribute VPP apps. In the DEP website you can add existing vpp admins. I had hoped when these accounts purchased apps, the apps would show up in Profile Manager which uses the master Apple ID, but this didn't happen. Anyone know what the correct process is for doing this?

If you haven't found the answer: You have to install the correct token for each account. Apple Servers, as far as I know, do not support using multiple tokens at once. As a result, you will have to swap out each of the 40 tokens anytime anyone wants to buy something then assign it to a user then push the app.
Or just buy it with a redemption code and give that code to your users.

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.
