What is the best Logic Pro 7 tutorial (with mpegs/dvd/mov)

I am curious. I'm more than a beginner. I know how to finish a song, import files, export, bounce, manipulate multiple midi devices, manipulate soft synths, aux/busses and the like
But I'm inexperienced with the environment, key commands, quick audio editing features, the audio editor and deeper aspects of setting up logic screensets to work for me - How the heck do people make those screensets that change depending on where the SPL is located -like Apple's demonstration song in the apple store ? What is that ? Can that be sued to automatically open a Reason file for instance? What tutorial will be worht my time and money ? THANKS !
I'm looking for a tutorial that will move me into being a power user.

I'm using the series from MacProVideo.com. http://www.macprovideo.com/MPV/html/logicPro.html. I find them easy to use and they've answered questions that I just couldn't find in the book.

afaik, the actual ones record as h264 inside a .mp4

if you record with a max of 30fps, iM11 should import those files directly ......

What's the best Logic Pro training?

Have just converted from Cubase PC to LP mac, after 10 years..help!
What are the best training resources around?

I made the move from Cubase to Logic six years ago. Although Logic is basically a DAW like any other PT or DP, but its underlying concept is quite different. Make sure you understand that open "object oriented" concept.
Another problem many new and old Logic user have is its versatility. There are often many ways to do the same things and you have to first be aware of the different options and then choose which one suits your workflow best. i.e. there are three levels of Solo, there is not just one Solo button and that thing gets soloed.
If you are one of the more adventurous guys I would advice you at least try to understand the concept of the Environment. Even if you don't plan you mess with it, it will help your understanding of Logic.
I wrote quite a few manuals with lots of graphics to help understand the concepts.
Free Manuals
Most of them were for Logic 8 and Logic 7 and some of the features changed a bit but you can browse through and it will help you to get a better idea what you are getting into. BTW they are free pdf downloads.

What is the best external hard drive with MacBook Pro

What is the best external hard drive with MacBook Pro?

I agree with Allan, and that link is also called OWC, their hard drives are great. Have three of their Mercury Pro Elite 2 TB quad interface drives. They will connect eSATA, Firewire 800 & 400, USB2, so broad reange of options. Drives seem to come Mac HFS formatted, but I always reformat and partition the drives. Service and quarantees are top notch.
They offer a wide range of drives/drive systems so like Allan said, spend some time seeing what the have.

what is the best FC Pro Easy Set up for video shot with an iPhone 4?

There isn't one. You have to convert the media to one of the ProRes codecs, probably ProRes LT would work best. You need to do this in Compressor.
Easy setup isn't relevant as it's options are for tape based media, which this isn't.

What is the best way to work with mixed media in 1080 timeline?

Hi there,
I have a project shot mostly in 1080 24p but a bit of 720 24p and 4x3 30p footage.
What is the best way to work with this mixed media?
Thanks!
Steven

Hi Shane,
Ok just to recap (thanks for being patient by the way)...I have put some questions in here...feel free to write in caps to respond and we'll put this baby to rest!
1) I will work in a 1080p FCP sequence, correct?
2) HD 1080p footage captured as applepro res hq I will leave as is and work with?
3) HD 720p footage which was captured as applepro res hq. Can I just drop in 1080 timeline and let FCP do its work? Or should i run through compressor, if so what setting shall I submit it too?
4) I dont have a budget for an external hardware to convert SD to HD...should I capture my SD Beta through Final Cut and just leave and let FCP do its work? Or should I run through compressor? If so what setting shall I submit it too?
5) For for my master sequence in FCP am I not using an I-Frame format apple pro res if I am using my apple pro res hq 1080 footage as my formatted sequence? I am not sure what you mean by GOP?
6) I also found some 60p footage 1080p XDCAM compressor shot with the same XDCAM camera. I put in the 1080p 24p timeline but it was pretty choppy...any ideas of this conform?
Thanks very much for all your help it has gone along way,
Steven
Saying what CODECS you are working with was my question. 1080, 720, 4:3...really says nothing. There are a dozen 1080 codecs, another dozen 720 codecs, and nearly 100 4:3 formats.
Best to capture all the footage to one uniform codec.
Second best is to work with one format and let FCP conform the rest to that...IF and only IF that format is an I-Frame format like ProRes. GOP formats as master sequence formats cause TONS of issues.
What I'd do is work 1080 ProRes, just add the 720p footage (Use Compressor to convert it if you didn't have a lot, but if you had a lot, just add it), but I'd capture all the SD 4:3 footage via a Kona 3 or Matrox MXO2 as 1080 ProRes. Hardware conversion of SD to HD is much better than anything FCP can do. AE might do good as well. But then use Compressor to convert 29.97 footage captured (you can't convert 29.97 to 23.98 when you capture) to get to 23.98.

Huge downloads of e-mails is a function of your internet provider. Most give you asynchronous communication, which means the sending of information back to them is slower than the receipt of information from them. Thus simultaneous two-way communication will in fact slow you down even more.
Presentations can be a function of the display technology used. Old VGA display based projections can be slow and cumbersome. Newer ones with HDMI, DVI and Mini-Displayport are far better and require less conversion.
What kind of workbooks?
Different programs have different requirements. Again, you have not distinguished if you are interested in buying a desktop, or a notebook computer.
Desktop = Mac Pro or iMac or Mac Mini (Mac Mini can be functionally as portable as a notebook, except it does not have battery for being powered on when off the mains).

You should definiteley get some more RAM first. Buy another 3 Gigabytes to make it 4 Gigs. The Lateny you're experiencing is due to the Buffer settings within Logic. If you set that to 64 or 128 samples (in the Audio preferences->devices->Buffer) the Latency will improve but it will also reduce the number of Plug Ins you can use at the same time as lower Buffer settings require more CPU.
You didn't mention an Audio Interface which you should obtain if you want to record live Instruments. For the start you can do everything in the Box but the analog minijack Ins/Outs built in your Mac are not really state of the art and you'll improve the sound by getting a good Firewire Interface.
Also get a second/third HD as you should not be recording onto your system drive. It's good to have one drive dedicated for recording Audio and another one for samples/Jam Packs/Loops.

What's the best logic reverb to use for trumpets and sax

what's the best logic reverb to use for trumpets and sax.

The lower transmit frequency limit is in there to make the device meet FCC regulations.. that is a regulation imposed of US regions and, to a lesser extent, Latin american regions that border with the US.
In addition, you'll be pleased to know that the N900 will not use certain European WiFi channels if a) the sim card is removed or b) the phone has a sim card but is OUT of 3G coverage.. again, to make the device meet FCC regulations.. (seriously.. when you go out of 3G coverage, the kernel reports it is switching from EU wifi to US wifi!!)
Let me put this into perspective..
From: http://www.nokia.com/results/Nokia_results2009Q3e.pdf
Nokia sold 3.1million handsets in the US 2009 Q3
Nokia sold 27.1million handsets in Europe during the same period.. That is 9 times as many.
The USA has its OWN firmware
and yet ALL versions of the firmware (including the UK specific one) are crippled to meet the requirements of a region that produces the lowest sales figures by a factor of 3 (Latin America produced 9.7 million units in 2009Q3)
Why the HELL are we suffering because of US restrictions..
That's like saying you can't use bluetooth because it isn't allowed on the Christmas islands.. (it is allowed.. not picking on you, Christmas Islands, but you are small!)
If the FCC wants a phone that doesn't allow broadcasts on sub 88Mhz frequences, and doesn't want certain Wifi channels to be used, the ALTER THE US FIRMWARE..
What next, BMWs have with left hand steering in the UK because the US drives on the Left?
Phillips TVs that only work on 120V because the US uses 120V..
I don't give a **** what the FCC say.. I'm not in the US and I have my own european and UK legislation to adhere to..
For a company that INSISTS on having a billion regional firmware versions, they don't appear to be able to get that right either!!! The UK version lacks UK specific restrictions such as the ability to us UK frequencies for wifi and FM transmission!!
Crazy and very very irritating

What is the best way to work with Word documents in The InDesign CS4???

I work in Microsoft Word 2007 and all my documents have *.doc format.
What is the best way to work with Word documents in InDesign CS4???
David Blatner says to avoid copying and pasting text from Word instead of placing it (Ctrl+D).
How about pasting RTF or Text Document???
I want to make book's layout in ID CS4 and its main feature is that there is the left page with text and the right - with graphics.
So, as I understand to place the text on each page I must create for example 70 Word documents and place each item on 70 left pages???
It loks like wasting time. I sthere another way of making such layout??? What kind????

It's best to place any text.
You can have all of your text in one file and use auto-flow to add threaded text frames and pages as required (Hold down the Shift key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it's a little non-standard to have the thread only on one side of the spread from the auto-flow perspective, so you'll have to set up properly.
This is one case where a master text frame will work to your advantage. On your master page spread, add a text frame to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not threaded to one on the right -- for some other project you might actually want two independent text threads). Hold the loaded cursor over a frame on the left side of a document page and auto-flow. ID will add new spreads as necessary, but only put the text on the left side.

What's the best way to deal with floating point errors?

What's the best way to deal with the decimal number errors in Flex?
Lets say I have:
var number1:Number = 1.1;
var number2:Number = 1;
var result:Number = number1 - number2;
trace(result);
I get "0.10000000000000009".
What's the best way to deal with this so that i get the right result?
Using the trick: result = Math.round( result * Math.pow(10,13) ) / Math.pow(10,13); is not useful as such when using big numbers.
For example, If number1 = 100000000001.1, and number2 = 0.2, I get "100000000000.90001" as result. The previous rounding fixes rounding errors after 13th decimal, but here the first rounding errors come after 4 digits.
The toPrecision method in Number and NumberFormatter dont seem be of use by themselves because of the same reason.
So I'd have to check how big the number is, and then round the number based on that.
So far I've constructed a method that does that with logarithms like this:
public function floatFix(number:Number):Number{
      var precision:int = 14-Math.floor(Math.log(Math.abs(number))*Math.LOG10E);
      var precisionFactor:Number = Math.pow(10, precision);
      return Math.round(Number(number*precisionFactor))/precisionFactor;
It just seems rather odd that one would have to create and use something like that to just count 1.1-1; There's a lot of calculating in that method, and i'm guessing that having to use that in a loop could slow down a program quite a bit.
I think there really should be a pre-built method in flex for something like this, but I can't find any.
Anyone know any better/faster ways?

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2.
I have heard of memory leak in OS that too because of some external application or rouge drivers SQL server 2008 R2 if patched to latest SP and CU ( may be if required) does not leaks memory.
Are you in opinion that since SQL is taking lot of memory and then not releasing it is a memory leak.If so this is not a memory leak but default behavior .You need to set proper value for max server memory in sp_configure to limit buffer pool usage.However
sql can take more memory from outside buffer pool if linked server ,CLR,extended stored procs XML are heavily utilized

What is the best way to work with AVCHD 720 24p footage in FCE4.1?

Hi I have a Panasonic HMC-150 and I've been shooting 720 24p footage at 21 mbps transfer rate.
I was wondering what is the best way to work with this material in FCE 4.1? I see that in the easy set up menu they only have the option of 1440X1080i at 50 or 60 fps or 1920X1080i at 50 or 60 fps.
Also in the rates drop down menu there is only 50 or 29.97.
So I was wondering which is the best choice for 720 24p footage and will it look alright in any of them? Also is it possible to customize these settings?
And finally can you work with faster transfer rates (21mbps) in FCE?

Yikes, this is going to be tricky since FCE does not support native 24p editing.
The work around for some of us is that AVCHD material that is 24p is often recorded to disc at 60i using telecine, in which case it can be editing at 29.97 frames per second, and then detelecined afterward for final export at 23.98 fps. The problem is that I think your camera actually records real 24p - not 24p packed into 60i. When you import the material from the camera what does QuickTime report the framerate as?
