Using Spaces with Audio Units?

I was trying to figure out if it is possible to have specific audio unit device displays in separate "spaces". It would be nice to have an entire screen designated for each window.
all i've tried so far is dragging the window, but it only seems to follow the space that garage band is displayed in.

Right now im actually using Ableton live rather than Garage band. In Live you are able to have the audio unit window open of the selected scene. when you scroll through your instruments, (if you have the AU edit window enabled) the different windows will pop up. i was trying to figure out a way to arm an instrument at the same time as viewing the AU via some sort of midi command (ie. arm track & ctrl+2 for my second space)
As far as i know, the audio units are the same no matter what host you use, so i thought i'd see if anyone here has figured it out.
also, does anyone know how to change the size of the AU window? all of mine are fixed at an awkward size.

Using Spaces With Logic 9?

Dear Apple,
I'd like to know if it's possible to use spaces together with Logic. I tried to grab my mixer and drag it to another space but that didn't work.
If it's not possible at all I would recommend this as a new feature in a Snow Leopard update.
Kind Regards,
Patrick

Dear Apple,
Hi Patrick,here's a user to user forum ,
I'd like to know if it's possible to use spaces together with Logic. I tried to grab my mixer and drag it to another space but that didn't work.
You can use Spaces with Logic,either drag the Mixer tab out or open a Mixer window in Logic Pro>Window>Mixer or press ⌘ +2 ,activate spaces and drag the Mixer window where you like.

Is any Logic 8 (Studio) user able to open STP with audio units plug-ins?

All of my 3rd party audio units plug-ins work with Logic 8: UAD, Powercore, PSP, NomadFactory, and RND.
MainStage and WaveBurner open without any problems.
Soundtrack Pro will only open if all of my AU plug-ins are removed to a "Components (Disabled)" folder.
I tried adding a few AU back into the components folder. Some seem ok, but if STP crashes after more AU's are added, then those that previously passed inspection seem to then cause STP to crash on start up.
I've tried trashing the com.apple.soundtrackpro.plist, EffectsCache.plist with temporary benefit.
I would like to use STP for mastering Logic audio mixes before burning in WaveBurner. Isn't this one of the benefits of purchasing Logic Studio???
What to do???

A little patience pays off...
The problem is...the +_*&^%$#@!!! TC PowerCore plugins!!!
And I'm somebody who actually likes them.
After receiving a suggestion that the TC Assimilator in particular might be problematic, I decided to gradually add everything but TC plugs. STP is now well behaved. I tested the waters by adding TC ClassicVerb and MegaVerb. So far...OK. The TC ClassicVerb is one of the best out there besides the $699 TC VSS3.
I can live without the other TC stuff for right now.
Again, I really appreciated the support.

Problem with audio unit

Hi, i've got some troubles with logic!
Logic can't find my audio units, i've got a message which told me about midi delays issues(it's in french so i'm not sure about the translation)!
I tried to reinstall it, but it's still blocked.....i don't know what to do!
I've already repaired the permissions, but it didn't change anything....

I don't know if it can explains by this, but my IAC manager isn't working in the midi settings!!

Problems with Audio Units

I have a bunch of Audio Units in my components folder, yet in both Logic and Garageband, none show up. I try to force them in the menu, and still, none of the ones in components folder show up.

Hi,
Since when did you notice their disappearance? Or when you installed them they simply did not show up? How many are we talking about here?
Anyways, here is the magic krypto-key to unlcok the secret Audio Unit level.
Are you ready?
IF you are on an INTEL chipset Macintosh, and you use PPC Audio Units:
You will NEVER see them.
You need to make sure that each and every one is Universal Binary, and approved for Intel macs.

Using Spaces with Shared Screen

I am using a shared screen to access my two other computers, and I really would love to be able to use Spaces to do this. One keystroke and I'm full screen on my other computer, how cool would that be. I just can't seem to do it. Spaces asks for the application, and to share a screen is not the application. Can anyone help?

Hi Leithh
If I understand correctly you're trying to use your own creations and add them to the existing palette available. I'm not sure why you would need to do this but if there is a way I don't know about it.
It may be something you could do if you went into the package contents of the application itself by holding Control and clicking on the application, this gives you the application folder basically. In here you will find the resources file which holds everything iMovie uses. If you can find the right place and save the right file you may be able to add it to the list of defaults.
JUST TO POINT OUT. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN HERE YOU RUN THE RISK OF SERIOUSLY SCREWING UP YOUR SOFTWARE AND AS SUCH I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS.
It's something I used to do in Roxio Toast when I wanted a custom DVD Menu system to those on offer. It was a lot more obvious what was needed to be done though!
The best and safest thing you could do is store your self created clips in an event, call it something like Library and then just use them as you need to by dragging them into a project.
Cheers MDTE

Using Dictation with audio files as input

I would like to use Dictation to transcribe lectures which are in mp4 format. The only input choice I see is microphones. Is there a way to select existing files in mp4 and mp3 format and have Dictation transcribe them?

You can only get Dictation to (attempt) to transcribe your mp4/mp3 audio if you play those audios from a separate device in front of a good quality microphone while dictation is running. You cannot have dictation listening and transcribing to audio concurrently playing on the same machine.
You will want to use the Enhanced dictation capabilities to avoid round trip delays to Apple's servers. Since Dictation gets better over time by recognizing your voice patterns, playing lectures to it, with any injected noise spikes, may be very frustrating for you.
I used the Apple Dictation tool on my iPhone to record the word “testing” four times. When I played this to an external microphone, and OS X dictation listening in Pages v5.2.2, the words were correctly transcribed.

Using Spaces with Multiple Displays

I'm wondering if there is a way to setup Spaces to only show spaces for the main display in a duel monitor setup.
I have a 19inch monitor I use when I'm at work and I do not enable mirroring so that I can get a higher resolution on the 19inch monitor than what my aging ibook (1024x768) can put out. When I do this and activate spaces, each space shows both monitors....the larger 19inch and then off the corner of that, the smaller 14 inch of my ibook.
What I want is for when I'm hooked up to my 19inch display, for my laptop display to in essence not exist. This way when I activate spaces (currently set to 4) I just get 4 "19 inch" spaces instead of, what looks like, 8 spaces.
Any thoughts? Any scripts or terminal commands to make this happen?

I put off upgrading to Leopard almost exclusively because of this reason... I thought I'd be able to get over it for a couple weeks until 10.5.2 comes out, but tonight I'm pulling my hair out.
Have you found out anything new?

Anyone using Spaces with MainStage

I've never enabled Spaces. However, to get some needed functionality to address missing features in MainStage (like no Sysex message sending), I'm thinking of running Bidule or Max while running MainStage. It would probably make sense to have them be in different virtual windows (which is my understand of what Spaces does) so wondering how well that works before I go to the trouble.

Just tried Spaces briefly. I discovered that if I put MainStage into fullscreen mode then I'm not able to switch to another space at all.

Logic Pro and Basic Audio Units

Is anyone else having an issue with Logic Pro 9.1.8 and using legacy/basic audio unit effects located in the Audio Units > Apple location? It seems as though anytime I try to use an AU* type plugin with my project the EQ freezes like it did before the 9.1.8 update was applied. I've noticed the issue occuring when I have 8+ tracks with midi, samples, and Apple Loops in the project. The HD and CPU meters are very low (1-2 bars) and it just hangs. I don't think track count or track type has anything to do with this issue as my last project had ~24 tracks and did fine up until I added in AULowpass and that is when I started having problems with the EQ.

This is because you have Punch on the fly enabled under Options (top menu)>Audio>Punch on the Fly.... signified by the letter P instead of the letter R

MiniDP to HDMI with audio for Imac bought in february

Hi
I want to know if there is any way I can output videos using HDMI with audio with an Imac bought in februaary 2010? I saw the Moshi cable but apparently it does not support audio for early 2010 macs. Any suggestions or info on this? What could I do?
Thanks.

Hi,
as far as I know there seems to be two versions of that Moshi adapter.
An earlier one without audio and a later one with audio support.
But I don't know how to distinguish one form the other. Maybe the Moshi website can offer some hints.
Since Apple lists the later one in the document plus sells it in their own Store I assume they tested it with the various Mac mentioned in that document.
Regards
Stefan

Spaces with Multiple Displays

I have been using Spaces with my MacBook with an external display, without mirroring to extend my desktop. Overall, it works really well and has certainly made things less hectic when I have 1-8 windows open per application and up to 5 applications.
One thing I figured out by playing is that you can have windows from the same application in different spaces. For example, I have FireFox open with three windows, and can position one FF window in each of three spaces. The only way to do this that I have found is to drag the individual windows from the Spaces view (F8), but it's really useful for me to have web-pages organized by Space (personal, work, Google, etc.). By the way, if I shut down FF or restart the machine, the windows do not "remember" which Space they were in, which is not surprising to me. I assume that is a limitation of FF, not OS X.
Now here is the issue/problem I have experienced several times: Every so often, I will completely "lose" one or more windows. For example, I have two FF windows open in Space 4, then upon switching to another space and going back to Space 4, the windows are gone. They still show up in the list of FF windows (from the "Windows" menu in FF itself), so I think they are still open, but it's like they were assigned to Space 0 or something. There is no way to get to them or bring them back that I have found. There is also no good explanation for why this is occurring or any reproducible set of circumstances.
I can accept that I am pushing the envelope on Spaces using both multiple displays and splitting windows from one application across Spaces, so I am not expecting this to work flawlessly (yet). However, it sure would be useful to be able to recover from this when it occurs.
By the way, as a tip I have mapped my mouse button 3 (external mouse with a scroll wheel that has a button) to show Spaces, which has been very handy for me.
One last thing: Does anyone else think it would be cool to have Spaces act more like true individual Desktops? In other words, be able to set background image per Space and maybe even have different files on each Space/Desktop? Files would be more involved since Spaces are less permanent than a real Desktop, but background images seems like an easy thing to be able to code for.

Just to be clear, you CAN run an application and split its windows across different Spaces by dragging those windows in the Spaces view. So open Firefox in Space 1, open a second FF window in Space 1, then F8 and drag the second window into Space 2 and voila. It's somewhat random what happens when you click on the application icon in the dock when you do this, but it does work.
Good point about the background being very resource-intensive. Never mind.

Strange problem with audio (link inside)

Hello Community, please help me!
So I started this project where I film everything I do in the year 2014 and stuff.
Well, this week I began with doing the work in AE, so far so good.
I'm not finished yet, but I just wanted to try to render and upload it, for testing reasons. (with bad quality though) here's the link: https://vimeo.com/113597439
So... apparently there's every 11 seconds this clacking sound, I don't know how to get rid of it, it looks like it's a problem I have with AE rendering, because I tried to screencapture it and then convert it with the same software as I did with the AE outcome, it was fine. (but I obviously can't get a HD outcome by screencapturing my RAM-Preview). So it's not my converting tool!
And I don't know what it is and additionally, the sound is getting delayed, I'm not sure if it's because of the same reason the clacking sound is, because in my RAM-Preview everything is perfectly fine.
I'm using lossless with Audio checked on.
I would be super thankful if anybody could help!
Thanks in advance.

So I'm not hearing anything funky on my phone when watching the video. I do have one question though, this looks like a bunch of clips strung together with nothing special added to the clips so I'm wondering why you are using AE to EDIT when AE is a compositing and motion graphics application specifically designed to create short shots or sequences. I would do something like this in Premiere Pro. It will take you about 1/10 the time and it will render much faster.

Garageband 9.0 scans for audio units on startup every time.

It also asks for the location of my WaveShell 5.9.1 plugins. I'm not using the Waves Audio units anymore and would like to get garageband to stop looking for the Waves audio units. How do I stop this procedure?

Delete any Waves folder in applications.
Delete any Waves preferences.
Delete any Waveshells from:
Mac HD > library > application support > digidesign > plug-ins
Mac HD > library > audio > plug-ins > components
Mac HD > library > audio > pug-ins > MAS
Mac HD > library > audio > plug-ins > VST

I am trying to use East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra with Garageband '11 and East West isn't showing up on the Audio Unit Modules List. Help?

Not sure what to say. Have the free version, installed it and GB found it. Perhaps contact East West support if you have a paid version...
