Using Multiple Output Devices

Hello,
I just bought a simple multi-input device. It's just a box with several inputs connected to my iMac via USB. The input works flawlessly - I can assign each input to a channel in Logic.
I'm having trouble with the Output. When the box is connected to my iMac and is selected under 'Device' in Logic's preferences, all the output is routed via the box too - but I want to use my internal speakers. The only Outputs I have available on the channel mixers are 'Output 1-2' which appears to be my box.
The output device selected in Sound Preferences and Audio Midi Setup is my built-in output.
Is there any way to use my built-in speakers when the box is connected?

Hi John,
Anyway, the link you posted seems to herald the answer! I'll give it a go shortly. I'm still surprised that I don't just see four output channels on each track (two for each device) and choose them accordingly.
You are a few clicks away!
Yes, I agree that Logic should catch up to it's little brother, GarageBand, in this respect, but maybe in some future release.

How do you use multiple outputs on a VSTi like Kontakt or Battery?

how do you use multiple outputs on a VSTi like Kontakt or Battery with Logic Pro 7.1? I've heard someting about using AUX busses, but can anyone please provide an actual clear, step by step basic guide?
I've had Logic 3 months now and just don't know how to do this yet, and have yet to actually find it in the manual!!

Invoice List print out multiple output devices

Gurus
I have a requirement where in I need the Invoice list to generate output to 2 different devices.....
Here is my dillema, Invoice list program looks at the output device that is set up in the user defaults in the user area, SU3 transaction, Since only one output device can be used in that field I can generate Invoice list output to only one printer unless done manually that is not possible as the number of invoice list is huge.
I am using ECC 5.0 , Does anybody have a solution for this???
Thanks
In advance

The printer name can be defaulted from the output condition record, which I believe trumps the printer in the user's default.
You could have two output condition types Z001 and Z002, both automatically proposed and each pointing to a different printer.

Some apps use wrong output device

I have an iBook G4 with 10.3.9, builtin speakers and an external FireWire audio interface (a Presonus FireBox). When I select the FireBox as the default audio output device, most programs adhere (iTunes, the system alert sounds, the volume buttons, QuickTime, etc).
However, a lot of them continue to play audio from the builtin speakers - Flash, the Windows Media Player plugin for Safari (Flip2Mac or whatever it's called), and the "say" command line program.
Is there anyway to correct this? If I select "builtin speakers" and then turn the volume down and switch back to the FireBox, the misbehaving programs are now quiet... so the controls appear to be having SOME effect.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

This has now been fixed! I found a different thread on these forums about OS X dropping wireless connections - deleting these:
Go to Macintosh HD -> Library -> Preferences -> SystemConfiguration ->
Delete the following Plists:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.nat.plist
come.apple.network.identification.plist
com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
Networkinterfaces.plist

Resetting those plists helped me!

2012 Mac Mini - Using multi-output device?

I'm trying to get my Mini to output sound over HDMI and the headphone jack. This question has been asked before, but the answer wrongly claimed OSX didn't support it. The Audio MIDI Setup program (in the Utilities folder) does in fact let you set up a multi-output device that uses the headphone and hdmi out. But when I try to output sound with that device, I don't get anything.
Before I bought this computer, the Apple Store drone claimed this multi-output was possible. But this wouldn't be the first time I've talked to a complete idiot there.

Some more updates:
using multi-output and having the line out set as master prevents 5.1 surround from being output on HDMI, which is fine for my use. When I have something plugged into the headphone jack (in my case wireless outdoor speakers) the settings app won't even allow the settings app to choose HDMI as the audio output device, which is also likely why HDMI can't be master in the MIDI app.
So to get 5.1 surround back for movies I need to unplug whatever's in the headphone jack and change the output device from the multi-output option to HDMI. It's sad my 6 year old PS3 handles this more elegantly and sensibly but at least I don't have to take back my Mini now

Problems using multiple firewire devices

Hey peeps
im working on a project in FCP and im reading the video and audio from an external firewire 800 hard drive, this works fine until i start to use my m-audio project mix to output the audio when i use both of these firewire devises together the sudio gets delayed.
I'm led to believe this is because the different firewires on my mac tower all use the same bus, is this true??
and if so
can i get another firewire bus for my mac???
any help in clearing this up for me would be greatly appreciated
seano56

You can't use the Project Mix on the same bus as your firewire drives. In fact it needs to be on its own bus. I believe that M-Audio even specifies this on the FAQ for the device.
Also, I've seen playback issues when you try to mix FW 800 and FW 400 devices on one bus. The way that FW works is that when you have multiple devices on the same bus, the whole chain slows down to the speed of the slowest device. So, even though the Project Mix uses a FW 400 connector, it may actually be operating at a lower speed like 100 Mbps. Thus the whole bus would slow down to 100 Mbps. I don't know the actual speed of the PM i/o, but this is just an example.

Using multiple i-devices on one PC iTunes

I just cannot get my head around the multiple devices/one PC issue. I hope I can get some help.
I have a Win7 PC running iTunes.
My wife and I have, between us, 2 iPads, 1 iPod, and 1 iPhone 4s.
I do not want them to be identical with each other, sync'ed together.
For instance, I like having the pdf of my camera user manual on my iPad and iPod, but I do not want my Bread Baking recipe book on the iPod.
Same for iPhone Playlists, I don't want my wife's lists on my iPod, and vice-versa. Same for apps, games, movies, photos, etc.
I understand how to create new libraries, but when I do, how do I populate the new lib. with the current device contents? With an empty lib, iTunes will erase the device, essentially.
I can't be the first person having this issue, and the solution cannot be so complex. Right?
Thanks for the help.

Each device will ONLY sync what you have selected to sync.
Open itunes, connect one device, select what you want sync.
Do the same for each device.
No reason for different libraries, just don't select what you don't want.

Use multiple iTouch devices on single iTunes instance

I'm working with a school district and we'd like to install district created educational videos on approximately 200 iPod Touch devices. Can I use the same iTunes account to load videos on all 200 iPods? Thanks in advance.

Hello Clyde,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Yes you can. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced with one iTunes account or iTunes library for that matter.

Blue Screen (STOP: 0x00000050) when using multiple Agilent34970A devices with a single GPIB

Hi,
I am using two test fixtures that contain two Agilent34970A Multimeters and two Sorensen Power Supplies (each test fixture is contaning one Multimeter and one Sorensen Power Supply) that are connected via GPIB cables to a single PCI-GPIB card. Below I have attached two VI's. GPIB_Communication_Experiment_1.vi (Test Fixture 1) and
GPIB_Communication_Experiment_2.vi (Test Fixture 2) are used to run self test on the
Agilent34970A multimeters. GPIB_Communication_Experiment_1.vi is talking to one of the Agilent Multimeters and one of the Sorensen Power Supplies (Address 9 for Agilent Multimeter and Address 2 for Sorensen Power Supply) whereas GPIB_Communication_Experiment_2.vi talks to the second Agilent Multimeter and its Sorensen Power Supply (Address 10 for the Multimeter and Address 3 for the Sorense Power Supply).
The Problem occurs when I try to run these two VI's simultaneously where it generates a "blue screen of death" with a Technical Information : STOP: 0x00000050 (0xF8AC00440, 0x00000000, 0x8041889, 0x00000000).
This Problem only occurs when trying to run the executables that were built from the attached VI's.
I have tried to use VISA CLEAR within the while loop as you can see in the VI however it did not improve things.
I have also uninstalled and re-installed the software for my PCI-GPIB card but that seemed not to work either.
At this point I am confused. If I try to run only one Test Fixture at a time I have no problem doing the Self Test on the Agilent Multimeter, yet every single time if I try to run the two test fixtures together I am gettig the blue screen.
Besides the two executable VI's I have also attached the regular VI's
I would really appreciate your help, thanks in advance for your time.

Hello aps7828:
If I read that correct, you only get the error when you run the executables and not the VIs. Can you take a look at your processor level while one .exe is running. I am wondering if that is the source of the problem.

How to enable the use of multiple cuda devices in Adobe AE?

I had nvidia gtx 690 and nvidia gtx 760. They were both seen by the driver 340.52 and there was checkmark "use multiple GPU devices". Adobe AE CC 2014 when rendering was recognizing and using both GPU devices. Then I replaced the gtx 690 with gtx 780Ti as a primary device. The driver does not show the option allowing to use multiple gpu devices and in the preferences of AE Only the 780 ti is shown. When rendering only this graphic card works. My question is how to employ both GPU's 760 & 780 ti into rendering as it was the case with gtx 760 & 690?
Many thanks for your help.

Read the paragraph that begins with "If you have multiple GPUs installed, the GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer will use the CUDA cores on all of them, as long as they are of the same CUDA compute level" here:
GPU (CUDA, OpenGL) features in After Effects

Multiple output modules cause render to fail?

Is anybody else having trouble with using multiple output modules in after effects? Let me elaborate: so I'm working on a 3d film, and my worflow is to simply work with the footage side by side in a single comp (we're at HD, so the comp size is 3840x1080). Very often, I need to fire off a quick render to show to the director. Most of the time, I just do the left eye by cropping to that 1920x1080 area in the output module. Other times I need to deliver both eyes, so instead of cropping to 1920x1080, I resize the frame in the output module to 1920x1080. Yea, we lose half of our horizontal resolution, but that's not such a big deal for us when just working on approvals.
Here's the thing: sometimes I like to export multiple variations of this at once (ie one output module for the left eye, one for the right eye, and another for the squished side-by-side left-right video). Whenever I try to output multiple modules with quicktime, it fails. Every time.
When it fails, I get two messages: the first (a warning) says "After Effects warning: last frame was written to one or more output modules, but not all! ( 26 :: 153 )"
The second message (an error) shows up once for each output module: "After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file "C:\blahh blah blah\whereIputmyfiles\the_render.mov". An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)." Once it fails, I cannot output to quicktime AT ALL (multiple output modules, or not) without restarting After Effects.
I tried outputting multiple modules as a PNG sequence... and that worked just fine (if "slow as hell" can ever be called "fine" .... but it worked! )
I tried outputting to the multiple formats I wanted with one output module per render item (rather than having one render item with multiple modules) as quicktime, and that worked just fine (of course... it takes N times as long though... for N number of outputs).
I am on Windows 7 64-bit... running After Effects CC 2014... I never had this trouble back when I was working on the CC version (the not 2014 cc version... that is too confusing...). However, I just went back and tried it with the older version, and it no longer works there either! What gives?
When outputting quicktime, I'm using the h.264 codec.
And before anybody suggests it, no I can't just use AME because that can't resize video (it forces you to keep the aspect ratio through letterboxing) or crop video.

>The most likely culprit is the h.264 Quicktime. It should have never been included as an option. It doesn't even work well in Quicktime Pro or in Final Cut...
I'll come to Apple's (partial) defense here:
Their H.264 codec was written and released at a time when it was difficult to imagine that mainstream computers would have as many CPUs as they do now, so it's somewhat understandable that the severe failures that this codec has with large numbers of threads occurs. Of course, we may all wish that Apple hadn't decided to end development on the QuickTime platform, since this has meant that bugs like this are likely to persist.
That said, this is why we increasingly recommend that people use other H.264 codecs and not use QuickTime for such things. See the H.264 options currently in Adobe Media Encoder.

Maintain output device in user master data

when we try to print the Purchase order smartform we are getting the
following update terminated error message.
" Please maintain output device in user master data".
1. If we maintain output device in my user profile as any printer name
then we are not getting the update terminated error message.
2. when we select the network printer it is always printing
using the output device maintained in the user profile (example
LOCL). it is not printing using network printer.
when we select the network printer it should overwrite the user profile
output device.
Can we have the network printer selected irrespective of the printer
maintained in the user profile?
Please provide the solution

Hi
If you mention printer as LOCL the system will use network printer and the printer will be controled by Windows.
If you specify printer name the printer will be controled by SAP.
I hope now you can re-analyze your issue.

Output Device prints 3 copies of each print out

Hi Frnds,
We are facing a problem with the output device.
When we try to print anything from SAP to an out put device, it gives us 3 copies of same printout.
We tried with smartforms, sap scripts and even a normal print request from the anywhere in SAP. For the particular output device it gives 3 printouts.
That output device is configured to a particular printer here in the user location.
We have also tried couple of other things,
Made that particulrt printer as the default one in our operating system (Windows) and printed using LOCL output device. It printed only one copy.
Made other printer as the default in Windows and then print using LOCL output device, now again it printed only one copy, to another printer.
Since it prints 3 copies of the same thing from anywhere in SAP with this op device, We think that there is no problem in Print programs or in Output condition configurations.
The spool that gets generated out of this request says "No. of copies" 1.
Not really sure where its going wrong. We think the problem is somewhere in Basis settings.
If any one has faced this kind of issue can u please let me know how we can rectify this?
Regards,
Karthick C

Hello,
Are you using Access Method G for the output?
If so you can check if the following setting was set:
set use_copies = N (where N = number of copies) in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\SAPlpd\SAPLPD
Check the SAP note: 1149136 also.

Change Output Device Settings @ Runtime?

This will sound silly, but there is a good reason for it :). Also, I am not much of an ABAPer.
We have a requirement to change output device settings on the fly in a program. For instance, in case A, we would like to use the output device as it was originally configured in SPAD. However, in case B, we would like to override the output device's access method and host dynamically in code.
Is there any function module or technique that can change these output device properties via code at runtime (printtime)?
Thanks,
Kris
