  • What good is GarageBand without an audio in on an iMac?

    What good is GarageBand without an audio in on an iMac other than editing previously recorded files. No overdubbing in a recording program is useless. thanks

    I wanted to use GarageBand for recording acoustic guitar and voice at least at 96/24. This iMic is probably not up to that. Maybe CD quality. I am stuck using an old Powerbook. There are many problems with interfaces that I have found while searching for them and without spending a boatload of cash on pro studio interfaces, there is no solution that will work for me. Maybe some time in a far off future there is a thunderbolt interface coming. Thanks for your help.
      I have to add that the iMac is amazing and at the same time terribly disappointing because of no means to input sound other than the built in mic. It is bad. It is perfect for a home studio because it is dead quiet, unlike my old Mac Pro. I can't for the life of me figure why Apple did not enable this computer for this. GarageBand is useless because of this. Kind of a shame.

  • How can I just use a generic Realtek audio driver without "Beats Audio" interfering!?

    Beats audio is terrible! I just want to have a flat EQ with no stupid sound effects enabled. The only way I've been able to do this so far, is to uninstall the audio driver, and just use the generic windows one instead. But what I would like to do is use a generic Realtek audio driver, and completely remove Beats Audio from my computer.
    After uninstalling the audio driver that comes with my laptop, I tried getting a standard Realtek driver from their website. But when I install that, Beats Audio reappears! This is so frustrating! How can I uninstall Beats Audio? I want it gone forever! I can see from searching these forums that this is a common problem. But none of the solutions have shown how to just use a standard Realtek driver without this Beats Audio rubbish.
    Can anyone tell me how this is possible? I'll stick to the generic windows driver if I have to. But it would be nice if I could just use the Realtek drivers as they were meant to be.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. But you've misunderstood the question. I know how to uninstall the sound driver and just use a generic Windows one instead. But what I'm actually looking to do, is install the Realtek audio driver without Beats Audio. Thanks.

  • Garageband exports my audio's volume too low

    So occasionally Garageband decides to export my audio with an outcome that is too low to hear. The audio sounds perfect while it's recording in Garageband itself, but once it exports to an mp3 and try to play it in Itunes or Quicktime, it's way too low. Anyone know how to fix this?

    What are your settings for "auto normalize" in Garageband's Preferences > Audio?
    Try, if changing that setting helps.
    And check the corresponding options in iTunes, to see, if you have options enabled, that change the sound of your GarageBand songs: Sound Enhancer, Soundcheck. If you enabled those options, turn them off.

  • Keeps crashing on start up! Can start without core audio, but crashes with!

    Hello
    I've run into a strange problem, when starting Logic it keeps on crashing after core audio initialize. I have tried starting whilst holding control to select start without core audio. This works and the app starts, i then go to audio preferences to select a audio driver to use. This is the strange bit i think?
    It only gives me my audio input options, Built MIC, Built Input/ Built Input Aggregated. It does not give me an output option. I recall this not being normal? I am right or wrong here?
    I also have a motu 828 which when connected and selected also crashes the program. It was all working fine one day and not the other, i have tried a reinstall twice also. I have no idea of what is happening so any insight and help would be great.

    I have finally solved the problem. Do not use melodyne with LOGIC 8 it will not work! To run both on the same machine the melodyne rewire files must be removed from application support.

  • Why do I get a message something like this following message in GarageBand? "Unexpected audio request...(Elastic audio)(-10024)"

    Why do I get a message something like this following message in GarageBand? "Unexpected audio request...(Elastic audio)(-10024)"

    Hi lizz4321,
    A digital ID is made up of three components; a private key, a corresponding public key, and some identifying information. The keys themselves are pretty straight forward, they are just big blobs of numbers used to encrypt and decrypt data. It's the identifying information that gets a bit tricky. On first look, the identifying information looks like plain text. You'll see your name and the issuer's name, a serial number, some dates for when the validity starts and ends. All pretty straight forward.
    However, all of this information is actually formatted using something called ASN.1 (it stands for Abstract Syntax Notation) and then encoded using BER (Basic Encoding Rules). When someone creates a digital ID they can put just about anything in there. Per specifications (RFC 5280 if you wanted to look it up) some items are required, and others are optional. Each piece of information that goes into the public-key certificate (the PKC is basically the digital ID without the private key) is contained in an extension. These extensions are identified using an OID (Object ID) and conform to a specification which may either be public or confidential.
    There are two possibilities in the case you are seeing. Either, some of the information that Acrobat knows about was formatted or encoded incorrectly, or, there is an optional entry that Acrobat doesn't understand how to decode. My guess is it's the latter possibility. There is a rule that states if an extension is marked as critical, and the application using the public-key certificate (in this case the application would be Acrobat), doesn't understand the extension, then the application is supposed to reject the certificate. It could be the former case (badly formatted data), but without seeing the certificate all I can do is guess.

  • What good is music sharing?

    Am I missing something? I recently purchased a Buffalo Terastation and moved all the music that my wife and I have. The Terastation shows up under SHARED, but all you can do is listen to the music. There are over 3500 songs in shared area, and there doesn't appear to be any way to oraganize them or make playlists. What good is a shared library if you have to find songs one at a time to listen? Isn't there any way for us to share our music between computers without being so limited? Also, if I want to put a song from her library onto my iPod, I have to hook my iPod to her computer. The music belongs to both of us. Why isn't it available to my computer for anything other than listening? Otherwise, I would have to have duplicates of everything, copying her library into mine.

    Brent,
    By design, the sharing capability allows listening but prevents copying. The same restrictions apply to a husband and wife in one household as to two students in adjacent dorm rooms. (You can probably imagine why it is designed that way, but it does not really matter.)
    My suggestion? Make a copy of each other's files on the both computers. That will allow you each to sync your own iPod to your own computer with your own playlists, etc. Also, you each need to have a backup of your music anyway, and that would be a fine way to do it.

    Spotlight lists items and shows preview images.  BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
    Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
    Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine:  e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
    Can I make Spotlight show the path?

    Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window.  Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.

    Right click your volume icon in the notification area and select "volume control options". From there, you should be able to select the external speakers.
    I hope that helps!

  • I recently signed up for a one month trial of adobe pro.  I logged in.  I cannot convert a single page of PDF file to word or Excel with this trial.  I just get the request to sign up for a year.  What good is the trial if I can't try it?

    Hey vcomfort6,
    Please ensure that you are using Adobe Acrobat and not Reader to convert PDF file to word or excel.
    Could you tell me whether it is a scanned document? Does this happen with all PDFs or any specific one?
    Do you get any error message? What exactly happens when you try doing the same?
    Hope to hear from you.

  • Restrict Goods Receipt PO without PO

    Hi John,
               I guess you need to apply transaction Notification.
    Here is the SP,
    If @object_type='20' and @transaction_type='A'
    BEGIN
    If Exists (Select * from [dbo].[OPDN] T0 Inner Join PDN1 T1 On T0.DocEntry=T1.DocEntry

  • What Good Is A Smartphone?? What does it do?

    I have been waiting for such a long time to be able to get a smartphone. I had to get rid of my Comcast cable in order to get the new BIONIC smartphone and be able to afford the increase in my VerizonWireless Plan.
    What hype and television commercials- great aren't they?
    All the thousands of cool apps that are available- I'm going to love this; I was so excited.
    Then, to top it off, the BIONIC came out- I decided that this one is the one I'm going to get; it's supposed to be way beyond more powerful than any smartphone before it. And the specs were impressive, to say the least.
    To get to the point, I learned how to maneuver my way through some of the features. Then I found the Android Apps that are available and got really excited.
    EVERY SINGLE app that I began to download informed me (before hand) of the control it would have over my phone and the access of my personal information in the phone.
    How did I get sucked into this? Why isn't anybody else concerned about this? 
    I JUST DON"T GET IT.
    WHO WOULD WANT TO GIVE PERMISSION TO "WHO KNOWS WHO", TO AUTOMATICALLY DIAL NUMBERS FROM YOUR PHONE, GET INTO YOUR CONTACT LIST, MONITOR AND COLLECT INFORMATION OF WHERE YOU GO, COLLECT A LIST OF WHO YOU CALL AND THEIR PHONE NUMBERS, AND SO MUCH OTHER PERSONAL DATA & PRIVATE INFORMATION.
    Someone please help me to understand. Is there a firewall or something to stop these Apps from getting into my business? I checked out a few Apps to keep my privacy safe; even THEY want the privileges of sucking whatever information they want out of my phone. So, "What Good Is A Smartphone?"

    If you want a comprehensive guide about permissions and overall Android safety, alostpacket on Phandroid forums wrote an awesome post.
    And realize that to use any app, it needs to interact with your phone in certain ways, thus they need permission to use certain aspects of the Android OS. If you're truly worried about security, just stick with the official Android Marketplace. There are lots of places you can find apps, but AM is the only place that won't void your TOS with Verizon. Just stick with those apps and you'll be fine.
    I agree, also another thing to consider the apps on other platforms uses the same access rights but the only diffrence is the Android shows you what is needed to be access...  I learned that people feel more comfirtable when they dont know what is being accessed but in reality because you dont know its being accessed does not change the fact that its being accessed.. 
    Like Scur reported the applications have to access areas of software to give you options that users want in the apps.. 
    Now I am not saying not to keep a eye on whar is requested because apps can request for access to areas that isnt required.. A wallpaper app doesnt need access to contacts information but it would need web and permission to write to sd card.  This is what is required under the programming end of a app.

  • In BW Reporting what can be done without transport

    Hi Experts,
    In BW Reporting what can be done without transport. Suppose
    RRI, DIS to Nav changes
    Please Detail or any documentation.
    Thanks

    Dear,
    You cannot make changes in underlying structure of objects in prod system , the changes shoud always come through a proper tranport layer ( dev -- QA -- prod).
      CTS(change and tranport system) is build to manage all changes across system , it takes care of versioning as well.
    Usually in production system you can do data loading and other data oriented activities.
    If you need to work on object related changes, start from a dev system.

  • HT2494 what connector to buy to transfer audio and video from macbook to tv?

    what connector to buy to transfer audio and video from macbook to tv? I read that if I buy the normal mini display port to hdmi converter that the audio will not transmit through my tv. I there a certain thing I need to buy to make this happen? I have a Macbook 13 inch Early 2008.

    You can sync photos and videos to your iPad via your computer's iTunes.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If the videos are films that you want to go into the Videos app then you first need to add them to your computer's iTunes library via File > Add To Library, and you can then use the Films/Movies tab to select and sync them
    Syncing media : iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
    What format are the videos in that you want to download, and have you got an app on your iPad that supports that format ?
