What MacPro do YOU recommend with this application?

Hello folk.
I am setting up a small recording studio for young musicians in the local area and bought Logic Pro 8 to run on a Mac to connect to a TOFT ATC 2 which, in turn, is connected to a Neumann U87.
What Mac Pro do YOU recommend for the software, and what do I have to get to connect the TOFT to the Mac via Firewire?
We are going to start with just one monitor and going wireless but we are a bit clueless about where to spend the money on customisation to best suit the work it is to do. For example- do we spend more on processor speed or more on RAM? I'd have thought that 2GB RAM is not really going to help us greatly but then hey- what do I know?
Please advise.
Oh- and any recommendations as to what we need to make that final connection between hardwares (the TOFT is sweet but not designed to plug into COMPUTERS and so has no Firewire) would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

Hey, MacBraveHeart
Honestly, there are lots of options available for you with computer choices. What are your long term plans for this machine? Do you plan to keep what your purchase for a long while, or do you flip it every few years in favour of newer machines?
Personally, I have a 2.66 Quad-core Intel, and it works great with Logic 8. Currently, I'm using Tiger fairly effortlessly, but will start testing Logic usage with Leopard on a separate drive install. I purchased RAM from a third-party supplier for a MUCH more competitive rate than listed on the Apple store. $300+ for 8 GB of RAM is VERY competitive!!
I would go for the fastest CPU power your budget can afford, and then upgrade the RAM yourself. If you're looking for extreme performance, you can always use RAID configuration, as there are 4 drive bays in the Mac Pro towers. And SATA drives are tres cheap... $150+ gets you a 750GB Western Digital drive.
Audio interfaces... first you need to determine what your needs are. How many inputs do you need? Outputs? The connection to your computer... Firewire 400, FW 800, USB, or PCI? Personally, I would go with a PCI-based interface... but hat works for what I use it for. Perhaps you don't need that kind of horsepower. Companies to check out: Apogee, RME, or MOTU., You can't go wrong with their products.... but check for compatibility first.
Is the interface going to be the A/D convertor? Or are you using a digital console to make the conversion from analog to digital? Again, that will help narrow your choices.
My 14 yrs. of professional recording experience in a computer environment has taught me a few things:
1. Clean OS install. That way, YOU know what's on your machine, and can keep track of items that are installed for troubleshooting.
2. Check the compatibility of ALL your 3rd-party software / plugins / apps with the OS you plan to use, and the hardware you plan to use. (Ie. Intel Mac Pro uses PCI-express slots, which the older PCI cards do not work in. If you're looking for a PCI-based interface, then make sure that they have a PCI-e version of their card, with the appropriate drivers.)
3. Before you start loading up the drive with tons of software, create a drive clone of the setup you'd want to return to if your drive failed. If you set aside a separate drive as a backup, then you can always pop the defective drive out of the drive bay, slip the backup in, and your back in business.
4. Don't get caught in the technology black hole of 'having to buy the latest greatest thing'. In most cases, hardware is being released to the general public before software is fully compatible with it. The public then become beta testers, complain on forums, ask lots of questions for solutions, and then a software patch or update becomes available, dealing with a particular bug. Wait for a few sub-releases of software updates, ESPECIALLY new operating systems, as the more updates that are available, the more bugs will have been worked out, and the more information there is available to resolve an issues you may have.
Your gear should be transparent when using it as a creative tool. It shouldn't get in the way of your inspiration. When you've got it working exactly the way you want it to, HANG ON TO IT, and GUARD IT WITH VIGOR!! Why? Because what you have is valuable to you, and only you can appreciate the amount of time & research that goes into making your setup work for you.
I know that this response goes beyond the scope of this thread, but I hope that the info I've provided is helpful, and assists you in making great music!!

  • What brand of RAM do you recommend with this board?

    Hey guys!
    I wanted to know if any of you guys could recommend RAM that would be good for this system.  I am running a custom water cooling kit so I am planning of pushing the processor to 4ghz+.  The problem I have right now is that I cant get the RAM to run past 410mhz, and thus it is limiting my processor FSB to 205.  Also I am pretty sure this ram is limiting my video card tremendously.  Also what speed would be suitable?  Could I go with a good ddr433 dual channel kit?  Or should I plunge to ddr500?  I tried searching these boards but its hard to find info about what people recommend about ram.  I was mainly hoping to learn from everyones experience.
    As a side question, my video card is performing below average.  I have the PCI latency set to 64 and agp aperture size is at 128, are these settings good?
    Currently I am running:
    875p Neo LSR
    Prescott 3.4ghz
    Asus Ax800XT PE
    256x2 DDR400 2-3-3-6 Geil Golden Dragon in dual channel
    Ultra X-Connect 500W PSU
    Thank you in advance!

    I scrapped it all.  As long as you buy a good brand you'll be ok. Corsair is probably the best.  235x17=3995. So pc 4000 would cover you to 4.0 easy, provided you get there. Try to get the lowest latency ram you can afford, other than that just make sure its a good brand. Corsair, Ocz, G-skill and maybe Geil?.

    Edit*#4
    Until you buy faster ram, you can set a divider to see how high the proc will go.

  • What package do you recommend with buying a new macbook air?

    I am looking to buy a MacBook Air.  I'd like a much storage as possible, speed as posible and to edit photos, etc (but don't want to pay for more than I need).  Thanks.  I am hoping to use my new MacBook Air seamlessly with my iPad2 for pages documents (sinced to the cloud).

    1. Opt for the 8 GB memory upgrade. For $100, it will absolutley give the biggest "bang for buck", in terms of performance upgrades. Since you can never upgrade the memory later, it is a necessity to include the option with your purchase.
    2. 256 GB is a reasonable amount of SSD, provided that your iTunes library is under around 32 GB, and you don't plan on storing too much in the way of movies or other space intensive files. It is also enough if you possibly plan to run a simple Windows installation with a VM product like Fusion or Parallels. Consider the larger 500 GB selection if you think you will be storing large amounts of data. Only yop will know what you will need. I say estimate your need, then double it. I have about 175 GB on my system right now, and use Windows and have a modest iTunes libary, with a few movies. I opted for the 500 GB SSD, so I have some room.
    3. Upgrade the processor only if you will be needing the device for light gaming, video editing, or any other processor or graphics intensive work. The base processor is pretty good, and the upgrade is only a modest increase in performace, so this will be the least likely upgrade to consider if money is tight.

  • "You cannot use this application with this version of OS X"

    Hi,
    I'm getting this message when I try to open .AVI files that I uploaded from my digital camera, but I'm posting it here instead of in the Quicktime section because I believe that the cause of the problem is more general. When researching this problem, I looked at the info panel for these .AVI files, and the app listed to open them was "Quicktime Player (default) (7.1.3)". But the actual version of Quicktime that I have installed is version 7.4. If I set the file's "Open With" app to be "Quicktime 7.4", it opens fine, but the "Open With" app reverts back to "Quicktime Player (default) (7.1.3)", making the problem come back. I've also noticed that if I right-click on other apps (a PDF file, for example), and choose "Open With" from the popup menu, that I see other versions of apps that no longer exist on my machine (Safari 2.0.4, for example). I think that files associated with these older app versions may be the cause of many of the "You cannot use this application with this version of OS X" issues that have been reported here. My question is where is this list of "installed" products maintained in OS X, and is there a way that I can edit it to remove those product versions that no longer exist on my system. In my particular instance, I'd like to remove "Quicktime 7.1.3" which should allow me to set the associated app for my .AVI files to be Quicktime 7.4 with no possibility of the association reverting to an earlier version that's not only incompatible with Leopard, but also not installed on my system.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    When you associate a file with an application, are you then clicking the "Change All" button? You can rebuild the LaunchServices database. Evidently the location of the command and the database have changed slightly in Leopard from what they were in Tiger. See this thread for the updated instructions:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5730491
    Also, make sure you don't have the old applications archived somewhere. I've been astonished in the past at just how enterprising the system can be in finding some program squirreled away in an obscure backup folder and listing it as an option to open something.

    Hello MyFico Community,

    What I'd do doesn't really matter.  These are not one-size-fits-all matters so each needs to determine his/her own strategy and tactics based on the individual's situation, goals, priorities, preferences, etc.  IMO you don't know what to do because you're not clear on these matters.  Very True, I am not clear but with the help of the community giving me things to consider I am getting there.
    You need to define what you needs/want and then prioritize that list.  That will give you a list of critiera that you then use to select cards that suit you. Thanks. Good way to focus my thinking about it.
    Rewards is a common criteria and if rewards matter to you then you need to look at your spend and where your money is going to select rewards with the most benefit to you. Since i’m going to be using a main CC, I’d rather have cash rewards first or rewards that are versatile for gift cards. I already have a travel card that works well for me so thats not that important.

    AAof Credit:  Not sure about this Experian/Credit.com- 6.7 years. Credit Sesame says 1.8 months?  Thanks. Was wondering where they figured this. AAoA is just an average like any other average.  Add up the ages of the accounts and divide by the number of accounts.  Many find it easier to convert into months, calculate and then convert back into years.  You can use Excel and its date formulas if you don't want to do this manually.  There are also online AAoA calculators.  Experian is more likely to be correct.  CS is probably providing AAoOA.

Is this a good plan? You're really not leveraging a 0% offer if you're PIF'ing each month.  However, if you're not PIF'ing each month on cards without 0% offers then you're killing rewards.Okay this is confusing, would you mind clarifying? The Amex and QS have 0% interest for well into next year (not sure of exact date, I will look up again) so it would seem that it would not matter if i carry balance or pay in full until the real APR begins next year.
    So whats the best way to utilize these as my main cards to get as much cash back(QS) and MR point as possible. Carry balance or pif, or does it not matter in this case for now?
     RandomSpirit wrote:
    Are there other cards I should look at acquiring?  As with all other request you need to tell us what you need/want so we have something to use to narrow down the options for you.
    Now, I am leaning towards low interest being the most important to me, secondly would be cash back.
    RandomSpirit wrote:
    Was thinking about BoA Cash Rewards offer for 12.99 because of the lower interest rateHere's an example of why a prioritized list of criteria matters.  If the lowest possible interest is a priority above all else then you shouldn't be looking at rewards cards as they typically come with higher interest rates.  If you want the lowest possible APR you need to fins a barebones card.  They're offered with rates as low as 6.x% depending on what you qualify for. This is most important to me
    That said, rewards and a low APR aren't mutually exclusive but typically rewards cards will come with a higher APR as you aren't getting something for nothing.  While I do try to get my APR's as low as possible you might want to consider why APR is a concern if you're paying in full. In case I ever have to carry a real balance.Not telling you what to do here but consdier such things when prioritizing your list.  For example: is a lower APR more important than the biggest rewards for your spend?

    Citi Dble Cash and, perhaps
    Chase Freedom for sign-up bonus?
    Honestly, I was thinking  to have a more diversified portfolio. I don;t have any Chase or City cards.So far we have:
    • 1 Low APR
    • 2-High rewards rate on non-category spend (Double Cash)
    • 4-Sign up bonus
    • 3-Diversity
    Which is most important?  Which is least?  Where do the rest fall?  We can't tell you this.  You need to tell us.
    Again, I'd recommend looking at your spend and ensuring that your card lineup maxmizes rewards on your spend.  The Double Cash is a good option for non category spend but if you haven't found higher rewards for a major spend category that you have then you might want to look into finding something for that category. Thanks for taking the time to offer your suggestions Tekeshi74. If gives me a lot consider.

  • "YOU CANNOT USE THIS APPLICATION SAFARI WITH THIS VERSION OF MAC OS X"

    hi, just downloaded the update for mac 10.5.1 - all went well - then tried to open Safari and received this message "YOU CANNOT USE THIS APPLICATION SAFARI WITH THIS VERSION OF MAC OS X" - I have tried downloading Safari again through netscape but that does not seem to work either - ANY IDEAS???? Thanks

    It sounds likely that you have more than one copy of Safari on your hard drive. The one in your Applications folder is the one you should have. The one you're trying to launch is an older version that somehow got moved somewhere else, so that the new version got installed in your Applications folder (where it should be) while the old version is running (or trying to run) from another location.
    First, double-click on the Safari application file that you have in your Applications folder. Does it run properly, without error messages? If so, everything is fine. You just need to get rid of the old version of Safari and set it up so you can easily launch the new version that is in your Applications folder.
    Are you clicking on the Safari icon in your Dock when you see the error message? If so, do this: Control-click on the Safari icon in your Dock and select "Show in Finder" from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open showing the location of that copy of Safari. If that Finder window is any location other than the Applications folder, delete the Safari file that is in that folder. Then drag the Safari icon out of your Dock. Navigate to your Applications folder and drag the Safari file from the Applications folder to your Dock.
    You should be all set, but click on the new Safari icon in your Dock to make sure it is the correct version and runs without problems.

  • HT4191 My Contacts Journal Professional CRM Journal crashes at the initial seconds of iCloud Migration. Has anybody with this application experience this situation. The developer has been contacted.

    Dear Contacts Journal Support Team,
    Each time i have been trying what you put up for me,i always delete The Application Completely,then go to iTune Apps Store to re-download it. I know the apps store will not give me an old version,that is why i do not use my Mac or iMac to replace the application however this has also been updated on my Macs.
    I reiterated in my message yesterday that,it is not that what you asked me to do is not working or i did not follow your instructions into details. I did follow every steps you stated.
    The end result is that, WHEN IT REACHES DATA MIGRATION,THE SCREEN WILL BE BLACK OR LIGHT BLUE BLACK,WITH A WHITE SCROLLING LINE THREAD ON THE DEVICE SCREEN,MEANING MIGRATION IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE. THIS WILL MOVE FOR ABOUT 2 or 3SECONDS,AND IT WILL CRASH.
    I have tried this several time,i do not mind starting all over again,i just want it to work with iCloud. We can give you feedback,and i praise your effort for not getting tired to respond. This is a good and real customer service assistance of which i really appreciate.
    My devices are up-to-date,and the application i download is the latest version.
    Please let's makes this application work,there is non like it on The Apps Store. So you should be proud of your work and your innovation which i see as very powerful as well as extremely useful. But when it becomes unworkable it render all my eulogies to your effort meaningless.
    Thanks for contacting me again and i hope you will make it work again. Please forget about my previous DATA,i want to start it NEW. But you can not turn ON & OFF even the iCloud on Contacts Journal.
    Thanks a LOT.

    Thanks. Can you confirm this step:
    - make sure all devices are updated to iOS6.1, and running the latest version of the app (3.3) [you can check if you have the latest version of the app by going to the App Store on your device, then checking the Updates section to see if you see any update for CJournal]
    - Another way to check is when you open CJournal, go to More -> Contact Us -> About page -> it should show the current app version.
    This is very important. If you are running the previous version of the app (3.2.1), then this crash will definitely happen on iOS6.1. You need to upgrade the CJournal app to the latest. After updating the app, you will have to follow the same steps as before, including cleaning up the iCloud database.

    Dear Sir / Madame,
    Thanks for your lengthy information which is highly and diligently consummated and extremely digested.
    All what you indicated in your last mail,i have done it and all efforts is TO NO AVAIL.
    1. It does clean all the devices but at the start of MIGRATION,the application crashes away and off. This has happened at least more than 5 to 7 times on one device. I have got main 2 iPhone 5 main lines,the other lines are subsidiary to my European lines and Dublin. So,i do not on or try to set them at the same time.
    2. Please,kindly see it in this way,look at the year you have released this application,i have not made or bombard  you with this kind of problems.
    3. I am an old man,i love the progress of our younger ones in Technology. It is just a shame i was not born to the computer and application age,it pains me. Because i know i embrace and love Technology,even at this old age. So i can not do anything to destroy your work,i will rather support you for progress so my up spring will also progress in all their discipline. Also remember my vocation as a priest,my position is to encourage,correct and not to destroy another persons efforts and labour.
    Above all,i just finished trying it twice now,at the migration point,it crashes out in few seconds when it comes with that line of migration.
    The time in London now is 03:10 in the morning,this is what i suffer on this application: SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.
    If there is any other one like this out their that can take files,journals,documents,ToDo's like this one. Please let me know,i do not mind how much it will cost me. I just want it to work.
    Thanks and look forward to your response.

    Thanks. We just sent you an email an hour before you sent this one!! It had instructions on how to overcome this particular problem "Cannot sync since another device is syncing at the same time". It doesn't look like you followed those instructions at all.
    This is our detailed feedback, so please read and follow them closely::
    - you can only get this message when you are trying to sync to iCloud with CJournal. It means that something else got stuck while syncing with iCloud before, and it needs you to clean up the iCloud database for CJournal (as previously instructed, and repeated below)
    - there is no hope for us to recover your previous data. The best we can do is to get the app working again with iCloud, by cleaning up your iCloud data for CJournal
    - your old data was previously wiped out when you cleaned up the iCloud database without backing it up. There isn't any chance that we can recover that. Maybe the Apple iCloud engineers can restore that for you (though I doubt it). If they do, then let us know and we can figure something out.
    Meanwhile, follow these instructions for resetting your iCloud data:
    - make sure all devices are updated to iOS6.1, and running the latest version of the app (3.3) [you can check if you have the latest version of the app by going to the App Store on your device, then checking the Updates section to see if you see any update for CJournal]
    - make sure to turn off iCloud sync option in CJournal, on all devices
    - To clean out your iCloud database, you have to go to the Settings app -> iCloud -> Storage and Backup -> Manage Storage -> Documents and Data -> Show All -> look for Contacts Journal. (if you don’t see it, then look for “icloud” with a blank white icon). Here, press the Edit button, then the Delete All button. This will clean out your iCloud database. Note that it will take a few minutes for your data to be deleted from your other devices, and you shouldn’t try syncing any of your devices to iCloud in the meantime.
    - Now restart all your devices by powering them down, then power them back up again.
    - Now, wait 5-10 minutes for the delete to go through
    - On one of your devices, with the latest data, turn on iCloud. If it gives an initial message saying "iCloud data already exists", then press Cancel. It means it hasn't updated from iCloud that you deleted the data. You'll have to open the Settings app and go to the same Show All page again, just so the device tries to connect to iCloud again.  Wait a few minutes before trying to enable iCloud again.
    - After it's done transferring the information to iCloud, wait a few minutes, then connect your 2nd device to iCloud and let it connect with the existing iCloud data. If it gives a message saying "First Time iCloud Sync", then press Cancel.  It means it hasn't detected the data you just uploaded from iCloud yet. Try again in a minute.
    Please follow these instructions closely. Let me know any instruction isn't clear to you.
    Regards.

    Dear Contacts Journal Support,
    I am so disappointed as you have not deem it right to make a follow up enquiry about my problems of which you were aware about all my Troubles.
    I keep you inform of all my efforts with apple iCloud Department and what i was told.
    I did not delete any of my files from Contacts Journal from my iCloud Account as one of my iPhone 4S still contains a 75% of some of my data. This device has been switched off since. Any attempt i made to use iCloud  on contact journal always comes up with a message i have related to you in my former message that: Contacts Journal encounter a SYNC problems from iCloud and that 2 devices can not be Sync at the same time; while all other devices are actually switched off.
    I am sending this Note now as the time limit given to me by iCloud Team will expire tomorrow. As i have said,this application has beautiful features but to make it work and Sync with either iCloud or Dropbox is a problems.
    I mean,about 8 devices can not have these problems at a go while other applications link with either iCloud or Dropbox are working on all these Devices. I can list all these for you if require as apple iCloud Team do check this as well.
    The iCloud restoration you sent me does not work,but i think this has teach me a great lesson as not to rely fully on an application like this anymore. I count my loss,my time and STRESS,i can not but let you know how i feel and my pains,frustrations and disappointments on this application.
    I have been using this application since it has been introduced,i know all the ups and downs,but not like this.
    I hereby appeal to you to sort out this PROBLEMS: "PROBLEM WITH iCloud SYNC: can not sync since another device is syncing at the same time: please wait and try again."
    The iCloud button will not even switched on.
    I look forward to hear from you.

If it gives a message saying "First Time iCloud Sync", then press Cancel.  It means it hasn't detected the data you just uploaded from iCloud yet. Try again in a minute.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    Regardless of what Apple technicians say, the simple fact is this:
    - you went and did Delete All for your iCloud data ... now all your iCloud data is gone. There's no way to bring it back. We certainly don't have the power to bring it back; maybe Apple technicians do. Have you asked them about this?
    - your only hope is to restore your device using an iCloud backup, from before you did the Delete All. That might restore your data to a previous state. We sent you this link again: http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/75394/11236
    If the Apple technicians can help you through this process, that would be even better.
    There is honestly nothing we can do at this point. There's no bug to fix. The problem is you did a Delete All of your iCloud data, without making a backup first. If you had a backup of your data, we could be able to help you, but that data is nowhere right now.
    Regards.

    No, not at all,The apple Technicians did run series of Test on both my account and The Application. It was conclusive that the application is not communicating both with devices as well as iCloud Proactively,this is one of The Application i personally rated 5 Stars and both iPad and The iPhone ones i have never made any complaint.
    I gain nothing from spoiling another persons Job and effort. But when something needs to be repair,i think it need to. It crashes on my 4 iPads and all my iPhone series.
    Please apple has the conclusion,you are the one who can fix it. Apparently my screen was shared because they can see through all my efforts since last Night.
    I am very DISAPPOINTED... For now i am looking towards your end to get it fix. Apple policy still remains on Third Party's Application.
    Looking forward to hear from you.

    Thanks for the update. We would love to fix the problem for you. Unfortunately, since you deleted all the iCloud data without creating a backup first, there's not much we can do from our end. I wish we had some control over this. The best option really is to look for your iCloud backups, and try to restore your data to your iCloud backup. Did you discuss this with the iCloud technicians from Apple? I'm sure nothing was wrong with their iCloud system per se, but did they focus on recovering your data (after you explained the problem to them in detail)?
    At the moment, the only hope we have is to restore one of your devices from an older iCloud backup. You probably want to do this in the next day or so, otherwise it might get lost. This might have been something that I was hoping an Apple technician would be able to walk you through.
    Hope this helps.

    Hello There,
    i have just finished or apple has just finished with me now,and i was opportune to be attended to by one of apple most senior iCloud Engineer or Technician. We were on this problems for couples of hours,apparently they could detect all my logins through out the night on this application. It was concluded that nothing is wrong with my iCloud account neither with iCloud in general as all my other applications is working fine.
    What this implies now is that they i.e. apple engineers refer me back to you as the developer of this application. The application is not communicating with device as well as to have a good Synchronisation with iCloud.
    They asked me to inform you that i have suffered as an elderly man through out the night and up till now nothing can be done from their end. They want you to look into the application and that    it will be monitor from their end for the next couples of Days as if i or others will get all their Documents stored in the iCloud.
    The Senior Technicians might get inn contact with you if there is NO remedy to this gruelling and gruesome situation that this application has put and expose me to since 17:00 Hour yesterday evening.
    I will hereby advocate for an improvement and utmost adjustment to this BEAUTIFUL APPLICATION. I know it can be made to work without any stress and PLEASE DO IT.

    Hi,
    At this point, I don't think Time Machine backups would help. The only thing that might be possible is if you are backing up your iPhone or iPad to iCloud. You can check this in the Settings app -> iCloud -> Storage and Backup -> is iCloud Backup turned On? It will also show you the Last Backup under the "Backup Now" button.
    If this is on, you can try to restore one of your devices to this backup version. You can follow these instructions: http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/75394/11236
    You might also want to consult an Apple Genius bar if you have an Apple store close-by or if it's convenient for you to do this over the phone.
    Hope this helps. Really hope you can recover this data.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your email. Were you using iCloud sync? When did you upload these missing documents? Do you use multiple devices ... if so, which device did you use to upload the documents? Did you use the "Transfer over WiFi" method, or did you use "Open In" from a different app?
    Let us know and we can see if there's any way we can help.

  • Which jre & tomcat version do you recommend for this hardware setup?

    I have to install a SINGLE JSP application onto an Intel pentium3 windows XP box with 128Mb of RAM clocked at 733Mhz
    1. Is this setup sufficient for running tomcat?
    2. Which version of tomcat and which JRE do you recommend for this setup?
    3. Would I get better performance running Jetty, and if so which version?

    The issue of changing native folder hierarchy and/or naming conventions has little to do with solid state media and everything to do with the container and header data that links the audio/video streams with the metadata and thus allows the content or "media essence" to be properly decoded and played.  This is the very reason to use a tool like Prelude or Premiere's Media Browser or even Bridge or Lightroom or a third party logging tool like metafuze or shotputpro, or dedicated camera format software such as sony xdcam clipbrowser or panasonic p2 browser, redcine x, ect, as these tools all are designed to parse the captured A/V data and make properly syntaxed edits to the metadata either embedded directly into the media container or in Prelude and Premiere's case can also be written back to a sidecar or associated XMP file, which is a flavor of XML that contains all the original captured metadata plus any changes and/or additions made via these tools.
    The dangers come into play when changes to the native file naming convention or folder hierarchy are done directly to the media content via finder on mac or explorer on windows, as changing at that level can break the relationship between the metadata stream and the media essence since the changes are not being written to the metadata or content headers or being handled in a manner referred to as transmuxing..
    Prelude & Premiere's Media Browser both allow for looking into the native files non-destructively and safely modifying either the metadata linked to the native media or also allows for a transcode to be done which will then copy or recreate a new media file in whatever format selected along with a new metadata stream.
    Prelude is a nice utility and Premiere's Media Browser an amazing tool for organizing, modifying and selectively ingesting media and or making quick selects and assemblies.

    How do I access websites that warn: "Firefox is NOT compatible with this application. For best performance, please use Internet Explorer 5.0 and above...."? When I try to download any alternate browser, all I get is another warning that the alternate is "not compatible with your operating system." Is Firefox preventing this? The site listed below is a job application site. I've had this same problem with other job application sites also.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    https://storefront.kenexa.com/lithia/cc/Home.ss

    There should be a User Agent Switcher menu item under Tools, which gives you the browser names you can impersonate.
    The menu item name changes to the browser UA you are presently using.
    There is also a User Agent Switcher button, you can add it using View -> Toolbars -> Customize, and dragging the button to your toolbar.
    See http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/features/ and http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/help/
    You can just start trying IE versions (or the versions it says on the site) until it lets you in.
