What happened to Emagic's good old AMT = Advanced Midi Timing in Logic 7, 8

I wonder if anybody knows if Apple dropped the AMT-algorithm enabeling Emagic's AMT 8 and Unitor 8 Mk 1 and 2 to be more accurate in Midi timing than ordinary interfaces without AMT are. The last button/check box that was related to AMT (Advanced Midi Timing) I saw was in Logic 6. Steinberg and Motu had their own timing accuracy systems then.
Since in the whole Logic Studio manual AMT is not mentioned a single time I supposed this very useful tool has been sacrificed by Apple's dingy future spirit.
Not to be misunderstood: I know the interfaces can be installed and are supported and be run by the actual machines and systems as normal Midi interfaces .

Just having a random search around:
http://developer.apple.com/audio/pdf/coreaudio.pdf
"The MIDIPacketList are a time-stamped list of packets to or from one endpoint.
All MIDI I/O functions use this structure. The MIDIPacket contains one or
more simultaneous MIDI events."
Also, back when Logic was first going in OSX, emagic had an article about this as well, although that's long since gone.
OSX's time stamping isn't exactly the same as AMT in detail, but is in essence the same thing. AMT works by time stamping events ahead of time, so the interface can fire them off as close to perfectly as the current MIDI stream allows. If you have two events at 1 1 1 1, but on different ports, an AMT interface can fire those events at precisely the same time, which can't happen with a regular (non-timestamped) MIDI stream, as the stream is serial in nature.
Because OSX has time stamping built in to the MIDI server, theoretically all MIDI output operations under OSX should take advantage of this - but at the geeky levels, I haven't been programming with this so I'm not completely up on all the details - it maybe that programs have to be written specifically to take advantage of it.
In any case, it's these reasons why AMT was never supported in Logic under OSX - it was basically redundant.

    What happens if i delete an old backup from my iCloud to free up space?

    Nothing. You will lose that backup but you will still be able to make backups in the future if you want to. You can also remove things you do not need from the backup, so you do not have to lose everything from your backup.

  • What happens if two iPhones with different versions of ios share an identical ID and password?

    I activated my new iPhone 6 as a replacement of  my old iPhone 4, using the same apple ID and phone name. Everything the old iPhone 4 had is now on the new phone. What happens if I connect my old phone, which I believe is still registered as before, to iTunes?  All the applications on 6 (ios 8.1.3) have been updated and my iPhone 4 has ios 7.  If I back up the old 4 on to my iTunes account, does it affect my new iphone 6 when I up date it on the same iTunes account?

  • Dpi: what happens when an image is re-saved from 240 to 300 dpi?

    Hi
    When I open my images in Adobe Raw, the images are 240 ppi. What happens exactly when I change the setting to 300 ppi in the Adobe Raw. For printing many companies ask for 300 ppi. And what happen if I re-save old images again in Photoshop after processing with 300 ppi, will the picture become unsharper? I cannot see a difference. Thanks for your explanation. 

    Interesting question and I hope I understand what you're asking
    An image in and of itself has no size. It is built out of square pixels of indefinite size. They could be one micron, or the size of a city block.
    An image only has a specific length and width once the pixel size is established.
    To illustrate open any 72 PPI image. View: Rulers. Change the image to 300 PPI with resample disabled. The pixel data of the image is not altered, the only thing that changes is the ruler around the image.
    My guess is that the change from 240 to 300 in your example does not change the pixel result. What does change is the size of the file. The higher the PPI, the smaller the physical file dimensions. A 240 PPI image that is 10" by 12.5" would equal a 300 PPI image that is 8" by 10". Either one of these qualifies as a 7.2 megapixel image (2400 x 3000 = 7,200,000 pixels in the image).

    Not if you change the ID.  You would need to give them the new address.

  • My old Intel-Based iMac is no longer recognizing USB wired input devices; it only recognizes Bluetooth.  What happened?

    My friend's old Intel-Based iMac is no longer recognizing USB-wired input devices (Kensington TrackBall, Logitech Mouse) plugged into any USB slot at the back of the computer.
    They were working before and for many years.
    All of a sudden, A pop up window came up. IT said no Bluetooth mice could be found.  We don't know what set off that window to pop up and look for a WL mouse. It never has before in the 5 or more years my friend has been using this computer.
    I supplied a wireless Apple mouse and his is back running again.
    But want to know why his USB-input devices (Except his keyboard) are not being recognized. He would prefer to use his  Trackpad (Wired), but can't find anything in SYstem PReferences to allow that.  The computer only seems to want a Bluetooth input device.
    Anyone have an idea what happened and if this can be reversed?
    I think he is still running Mac OS X 10.5.8.

    Hi Carol, lets try this...
    reset FW bus, same goes for USB reset...
    Reset the Firewire bus
    If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device.  A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
    1. Shut the machine down.
    2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive/devices.
    3. leave it for 10 minutes.
    4. Connect back up and reboot.

  • What happened is that my internet connection was not good so i downloaded .ipsw file from a torrent but now i cannot get it to update my ipad because ios 5.0.1 is out i tried copying files to ipad updates in the itunes folder but no help

    If you downloaded the correct version for your iPad model (and the different models have different ipsw files), then you should be able to navigate to it in iTunes by pressing and holding the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button.

  • How do I install iLife 8 and what happens to all my old projects?

    I want to buy and install iLife 8 but as I have never upgraded to a new version before I don't know how you do this (apart from purchasing it of course).
    Step by step, how do you install the disc?
    What happens to all my existing and work in progress iMovie and iDVD projects? Can I continue to work on them or should I wait until I have finished them before upgrading?

    If you have a book started in iPhoto 6 then you might want to make a backup copy of the library and the application as some book themes are not included in iPhoto 7. iPhoto 7 will continue to work with that theme but if you switch to another to see what it looks like you can't go back. Another approach is to make a copy of the book in iPhoto 6 for backup just in case, select it and type Command-D.
    It apperars that the new large hardcover books have printed dust jackets with the cover photo instead of the photo on the hard cover.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Now when she tries to open earlier word docs, they won't open at all  :-(  what happened?  I SEE THE WORD IN THE NAVIGATION BAR BELOW, but when she tries to open a word doc, the navigation bar opens and closes around the Word symbol and nothing happens :-(  i'm going crazy :-( PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP AND LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO?

    If you have not already done so, repair permissions and restart your computer.  Or boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu.  When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer. Suggest that you post in the Microsoft Office for Mac Forums if the above does not work. 
     

  • Moved to a new computer running windows 7. what happened to the bookmark sidebar? how do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?

    new computer, loaded Firefox 4. What happened to bookmark sidebar? How do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?
    old computer is offline, so if I have to make a copy of something hopefully it can be done offline.
    Don't really understand why windows 7 renders Firefox so different that XP. Will change, but really like the old feel.

    Assuming you mean that you performed the repair yourself, it would seem that you either obtained a defective screen or you did some sort of damage when you replaced the screen. You can try asking for assistance on ifixit.com, a site dedicate to those attempting their own repairs, or you can take the iPad to a shop and pay them to try to correct the problem for you. Apple will no longer touch your iPad now that you've attempted your own repairs.
    Regards.
