Using Sony's PS-LX300USB turntable with my iMac

Is there a software that would allow me to use Sony's PS-LX300USB turntable on my Mid-2011 iMac w/ iOS 10.8? It comes with Sound Forge's s/w which is PC  only. Thanks

Yes, and No!
Lightroom won't allow you to use IDC on the Raw file, Lightroom only allows ACRaw to be used to "develop" a raw file. However, you can use Lightroom's ranking and review functions to help you decide which files you want to work with. Then right click and select show in explorer. Then select the file you want to develop, and tell Explorer to open in IDC. You then can develop, save as a Tiff and import.
Pain in the Arse isn't it?
Frankly if you have access to Bridge then this is faster and more convenient. Import the ARW and use IDC to make Tiffs.
But why do you want to do this?
Frankly DRO only becomes special when you use DRO Advanced. Anything else can be easily duplicated in Lightroom. DRO Advanced can not be done by IDC,(it's like Lightzone on Steroids) it's done by the camera, the processor looks at each pixel and compares it with adjacent pixels and makes adjustments in the jpg. So the only way to utilise DRO Advanced (and it's astonishing what is achieved) is to shoot in Jpg (and probably in cRaw + Jpeg) I shoot everything in cRaw only but have a MR setting to utilise DRO Advanced - cRaw + Jpeg, ISO 200 (remember that DRO advanced effectively locally amplifies the pixels, so if you start at say ISO 800 certain pixels could be amplified to ISO 6400!
I can then import both the cRaw and the Jpeg.
Hope this makes sense.

  • Can i use a belkin wireless g router with an iMac

    can i use a belkin wireless g router with an imac

    It will work. The wireless card in iMacs (recent ones) work with n, g, and b networks. The g protocol is slower (54 mbs) versus n (130 mbs up to 300 mbs). My employer has hundreds of such access points and has been updating them all to n, but there are still some g routers they haven't gotten to, and they work fine. 54 mbs is not bad, it's about 5 megabytes/sec roughly. Typical actual throughput is lower than these numbers by ~ 50%, so doing a large Mac OS update download of 300 Megabytes would take about ~ 2 minutes with a g router, and maybe a bit less than 1 minute with an n router.

  • Can. I use my MAC Mini in conjunction with my iMac?

    Can I use my MAC Mini in conjunction with my iMAC? I can not upgrade the OS of the iMAC due to software that I need and Lion does not support it.
    If I could bounce back an forth or use the software from the MAC Mini with the iMAC, this would solve my dilemma.

    Before I buy a networked drive can I use the airport to connect with an external
    USB drive and set both macs  use the  drive as a time machine
    Can you hook this up? Sure.
    Is is supported by Apple?  No.
    Some users report that this seems to work when they try it.
    Others....like me....have corruption problems anywhere from a few days to a few months after I set up a test....which I do whenever a new version of firmware or a new operating system becomes available.
    We cannot predict your results, so if you decide to try this, and your backups are valuable, you might want to have a secondary backup plan in place as well....just in case.

  • How can I use my Dell photo 924 printer with my iMac

    How can I use my Dell photo 924 printer with my iMac, I have tons of ink and don't want to buy a new printer right now.

    People who need to SCAN & PRINT without a compatible driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
    Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
    Click Print & Scan ( ).
    Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
    Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screen

  • Using Sony's IDC in combination with Lightroom

    I would like to use Sony's IDC Raw converter that comes with the Sony A700 camera, to be able to process through Sony IDC the RAWs with DRO's (Dynamic Range Optimalization) applied (as shot with the A700).
    However I would like to keep LightRoom as my archiving base.
    Question:
    Can I bring RAWs after importing in LightRoom, to IDC?
    Can I after converting the RAWs in IDC, bring the resulting PSDs (or JPEGs) from IDC back to Lightroom (for archiving)?
    I appreciate your help!

    Yes, and No!

  • Problems using SONY 810UL/T dvd writer with ibook

    Hi All,
    I'm having trouble using the above drive with my dual USB on 10.3.9 and was wondering if anyone else may have a solution to this. The os doesn't seem to recognize memorex16X DVD+R discs (i'm not sure if this is a disc issue or a drive issue but..see later) i.e. it doesn't show up on the desktop (I've tried this with multiple discs). Then when I try to open the tray using the button on the burner, nothing happens. So I do a disktool -e disk2 to eject the disk. I insert the disk again but holding down optioncmdI while inserting the disc ala article 30878 (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30878). A window pops up: You inserted a blank DVD. Choose what to do from the pop-up menu. I press ok, the disk ejects and I get message: This disc could not be used because the disc drive is not supported. (Error code 0x80020025). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
    iBook G3 500   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi Tah.
    Two suggestions:
    1) Avoid Memorex discs if possible. I dn't know how they go in the Sony burners, but users of Panasonic (Matshita) and Pioneer drives I know have had problems with them.
    2) See if Patchburn helps - see http://www.patchburn.de/download.html
    Patchburn gets many third party burners running which are otherwise not supported by Apple. In your case you will need the Panther version , of course.
    Cheers

  • How do I use a Verizon PC Wireless card with my iMAC Intel Core desktop?

    Help! Bought a Kyocera KPC650 Wireless PC Card for Verizon wireless internet. Works fine w/ laptop because it has a slot. How do I configure my iMAC desktop to accept this card? Is there an external USB adapter? Or do I have to get one installed internally? Which adapter works with OX 10.4?
    I've seen the Quatech U132 online. Will that work? Its $192!! As is the Sewell adapter too. ($209)
    Any ideas? I want to get off SBCYahoo DSL and their router because our DSL line is damaged in our complex and no one is fixing it!
    Thanks in advance.

    What protocol is Verizon using that is not compatible with the Airport Extreme built into your iMac? I have used Apple's Airport Extreme with a lot of different wireless routers with zero problems as all conform to either 802.11b or 802.11g standard both of which are supported by the built in Airport Extreme.

  • ? on Using which format of Audio Interface with a Imac i3

    Hi,
    I have been reading and reading about this topic. My (R.I.P.) eMac has been replaced by a very nice and fast Intel i3 Imac with FW800 and plenty of USB 2.0 and SP/Dif (even)
    Fortunately most all of any music gear that needed driver or firmware updates for Snow Leopard had them available, but my Tascam US-120 (USB 1.1) does not so have been looking at USB 2.0 (though its amazing how many USB 1.1 USB Audio Interfaces are still be produced and at $$$ prices. Firewire Audio Interfaces are at FW 400 and with a Firewire 800 port on the back of the iMac appears ? that a interface cable is the required or ? only way to use a Firewire interface 1) I want to make sure I am understanding this correctly, and 2) is this safe ? to do 3) I am getting a FW 800 Extrenal Hard Drive so that is a match, 7200RPM,
    I do plug in to the Interface (or did) at times 2 microphones XLR type (to put mic's on a amplifier) , a Electric Guitar , or a Acoutsic Electric Guitar in to the interface or record it with a mic's, I have a MIDI Keyoard that has MIDI in-out as well as USB in, and also plugged two power monotors(Linear Flat Speakers) in to the out puts of the previous Audio Interface.
    Last Question I reviewed the bit/kHz of the USB 1.1 interfaces and they range from 16 bit//48 kHz,24bit 44.1kHz, to 24bit 48kHz to 24bit 96kHz (on a USB 1.1 connection from the particular USB audio Interfaces when you find a USB 2.0 modem the max bit rate is 24 and the kHz (ranges from 96 kHz to 192 kHz) I am not a electronics genius
    but have recorded music in to computers for over 6+ years and the Resolution rates of the USB 1.1 do not make sense to me (I realize that MP3 (being compressed) and CD quality recordings are only so high but..
    I am going to (later) update to Ilife 11 with Garageband 11' which can record up to the 24 bit range so that is a consideration as well
    The FW 400 resolution rates in the chart I have are a minimum of 24 bit and kHZ range of 96 kHz to 192 kHz . and in theory USB 2.0 is a bit faster at 480 mbs versus FW 400
    at 400 mbs and from what I have learned USB 1.1 is slowest, I guess I am missing something, over thinking this or. Just want to do it safely, and get all of the inputs and out puts I need (I can even use the SP/Dif that comes on alot of Audio Interfaces, The AES Audio Engineers Society just wrapped up a convention and have been looking at their site and new product releases.
    Any Input would be greatly appreciated and I wish I could write less and explain more!

    If you can stretch your budget (quite a bit actually, but you can find deals on the net) I can't recommend the RME Fireface 800 models enough. Lots of I/O, never EVER had a crash, and the drivers and tools are rock solid. RME also makes a FF400 which has less I/O, but also costs less. The sound is steller, and it has no discernable noise. These are Firewire interfaces, but they just camme out with one that also talks USB.

  • Connecting turntable with 2007 iMac

    I have a turntable that I would like to connect to my 2007 iMac to be able to play records through the iMac.  Is there a way that the two can be connected to do that?
    Thanks for your suggestions.
    Vernon

    The iMac's audio input is Line Level and it will not pickup the weak audio signals from guitars, mic's, component turntables or similar devices.
    see > Line level - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    You will need to have the turntable connected to a receiver and then the receiver connected to the iMac's audio input port with a stereo RCA to 3.5mm cable or adapter.
    For examples:
    see > Amazon.com: RiteAV - 3.5mm to RCA Stereo Female Cable - 6 inch: Electronics
    or > Amazon.com: Cables To Go - 40645 - 3.5mm Stereo Male To 2X RCA Female Adapter: Electronics
    Plus, then if you want to pass the audio thru from the iMac's input to output, you will also need a handy little App called LineIn.

  • Can't use my Samsung ML-2010 printer with this iMac

    The software download options from Samsung for Mac do not include ML-2010. I'm glad to have a new computer, but not happy that my printer is unusable with it. The printer is, however, compatible with my year-old Acer laptop. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Sorry, I don't have that printer to try it, but I'm fairly certain that the "Samsung GDI" open-source drivers will work (even they don't have the page updated to say 10.9)

  • Can I use Palm Desktop 4.2.1 with Snow Leopard?

    I had a Visor Pro, which unfortunately was stolen along with my Mac PowerBook G4.  I have ordered a new Mac laptop (MacBook Pro), but I am not going to be able to replace the Visor. 
    I want to be able to continue using the Palm Desktop application - I had version 4.2.1 for the Mac. I have 10 years of information in that program, I don't know one better and would like to continue to use it, Visor or no Visor.
    I have several questions:
    Is Palm Desktop Version 4.2.1 for Mac compatible and will run on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard?
    If I do a "migration assistant" to move my applications to the new computer from my backup harddrive, will the Palm program move over okay and be useable? Or,---
    Do I have to install Palm Desktop from scratch?  If so, can I download Palm Desktop from the website - I cannot find a page anywhere on palm.com to download the program.  Does anyone have a link?
    Or, is the Palm Desktop program that would work with Snow Leopard a different version than the 4.2.1 I have?  And if so, how do I upgrade/move my data from 4.2.1 to a newer version?
    I don't need to be able to HotSync as I no longer have the Palm device.  I just want to be able to use the desktop software.
    Thanks for the help,
    Tara

    Tara,
    I could have been you asking a very similar question, although I'm still not sure on the solution after some of the knowledgeable answers.
    Like you, I have been using Palm Desktop to store 5 years of information, and I'm getting ready to buy the new iMac who reps tell me is probably not compatible with Palm Software anymore or will not and I should find other alternatives to store all my information.
    For instance, I use Palm as my date book and To Do List which I find very convenient.  Apple reps told me I could try getting used to iCal for this which I have been doing lately to try & get used to it.
    Then there are my addresses.  I also use Palm to store all my basic addresses (some with E-mail, some without).  It was recommended to me to just use the address book that comes with the iMac.  I've never used it but I can see in itself, it's easy to add addresses.  My computer consultant also told me that she could easily transfer the addresses from those on Palm to my Thunderbird which I use with Firefox.  So, if all my addresses were transferred from my Palm to Thunderbird, then I would just have them on Thunderbird, but I find it easier navigating them in Palm.
    The last thing I use Palm for and the most important is under the menu of "Memos".  For each category, I have created an alphabetized subject, like computers, legal, passwords, shopping (about 30 topics) and when I want to save important information, I go to that category and write as much or as little as a reference.  I wondered "which" application I would use in order to create a similar way of looking up information on subjects.
    I copied/pasted it all into a simple word document but that's not really made for what I want.
    The last time I went to an Apple store and explained what I wanted -- they were the ones who suggested to use iMac addresses to store my Palm addresses, iCal to use as a new calendar and to do list, and finally an application (on the dock) called "E-mail" where I could do a similar thing as I did on my Palm by creating a series of categories, and when I click on it, a memo page comes up where I can type anything I want to related to that topic.  It was demonstrated to me, altho I forgot how she did it, but although it was not meant for a function like that, it's easily done as with the Palm.  I told my computer consultant this.
    She was concerned that I may not be able to use my Thunderbird G-mail system if I have all my info in iMac applications.  Yet if the addresses are in Thunderbird as well, I can't see why that would interfer.
    Anyway, today she sent me this link & question and I start reading about a "sync" application and I would have no problem.  They also mentioned software called Benno, but told me to try and use Apple apps first instead of having to go out and buy a whole new application to replace the functions of Palm.
    Ideally, I would love to continue to use Palm Desktop as I'm using it on this desktop, but I'm  not clear if I can.  If I can't, what might be my best solution given what I wrote.  I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Trudijane

  • Can I use 2 external displays on new mid 2011 iMac?

    I'm thinking of getting the new 27" iMac with the 2GB video card. It lists in the tech specs two thunderbolt ports and a mini display port, but the images only show the two thunderbolt ports, so I assume Apple is counting one of those as being the dedicated mini display port. I'd like to be able to use an additional two external displays with this iMac, though one extra would be fine. I see on the video card manufacturers website, they say it can "theoretically" drive 6 displays, depending on output ports. Is this like on the Mac Pro tower that can drive 6 displays (3 displays from each video port, assuming you have 2 video cards)? Can the iMac drive 3 displays (internal and two external) off it's video port with the proper adapters, i.e. dual link dvi adapter, or just one extra external monitor? I'd be satisfied with one extra display, but being able to add a 2nd would be a nice help in Photoshop since the iMac doesn't have the anti-glare option like on the laptops. I'd like to keep the second thunderbolt port open for the upcoming thunderbolt raid storage enclosures. Thanks all for any help and information!

    Thank you, I have read that I could daisy chain the HD RAID enclosure on one of the thunderbolt ports with another monitor, if the monitor were at the end of the chain, but I do not know if the other port would still simultaneously support yet another external display at the same time.

  • Installation problems with my IMAC

    Something weird going on with my IMAC. After reinstalling (format and reinstall) tiger on my IMAC with the disks that came with the IMAC it does install, but when it restarts the computer I only get a grey screen with apple logo, after a while it restarts again and this ritual goes on and on...I tried everything, first aid repair, which couldn't be done, deleted the harddrive and reinstall again..nothing helps...anyone knows what to do?

    Are you 100% sure that you are using the same discs that came with your iMac, and not some other discs?
    Does Disk Utility report your drive's S.M.A.R.T. status as "verified"?
    Have you tried cleaning your DVD drive's lens?
