What's the advantage of MainStage 2 over Logic 9?

What's the advantage of MainStage 2 over Logic 9? Is MS 2 lower latency or quicker to switch 'presets'. I'm wondering what the absolute lowest latency is with a fast new mac running only Amp Designer & a few other Logic plugins, and the quickest switching time/dropout between 'presets' would be?
If you have any idea, pray tell! :o)
Thanks

I don't think there's any particular computer processing advantage of one over the other; the main goal of Mainstage is to provide an interface for Logic's functionality that's useful for live performance (easier to see, easier to manipulate real-time control, easier to set up for an onstage performance with hardware instruments, easier to switch in a live context between instruments or patches, etc.).
If you've used Ableton Live at all, or read about it, in some ways Mainstage is more comparable to Ableton; however, they're still very different. Ableton is much more heavily loop-based, and as someone knowledgeable has said, is almost a kind of instrument unto itself. Mainstage, in my opinion, is more of an interface reorganization of what Logic offers -- an excellent one at that, but with different goals from Ableton.

    How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
    Eric Steven Raymond
    Rick Moen
    Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
    We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
    So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal — in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
    Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
    More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes.

  • What are the advantages of NI-XNET over NI-CAN

    Assuming that I'm only interested in CAN, are there specific advantages to going with NI-XNET over NI-CAN?

    Olivier:  Thank you for the comments about the disclaimer in my recent post here.  While re-reading the post, I realized that I mis-stated one substantial fact, and that was the network speed.  I have worked with high speed CAN for so long I automatically stated 500 KBPS as the network speed I used to achieve the 95% bus loading.  However, in this case I meant and should have said 250 KBPS. It is possible to run J1939 CAN at 500 KBPS (I haven't tried it) but the SAE has not as of this writing adopted 500 KBPS as a bus speed for J1939.  As J1939 CAN frames are (to simply state it) merely CAN frames filled out to a full 8 byte data package (albeit with an extended 29 bit arbitration ID vs the standard 11 bit ID of high speed CAN) and having examined the information Olivier pointed out (almost 9 months ago) I have no doubt that the XNET cards can deliver the high performance required to achieve near 100 % bus loading at the higher network speeds.
    Now for more disclaimers:
    I have exchanged emails and spoken with Olivier and others at NI at length about their CAN technology and have encouraged them to push the limits so those of us out in the field can continue to stay ahead of the competition using our favorite tool, LabVIEW.  I have received no compensation for my views on this matter.  For those of you that want to put my experience into perspective, I have worked with LabVIEW for 16 years & CAN for 5 years.  My compensation comes from being able to get the work I am given done on time and under budget (usually ahead of time) - and I couldn't do it without LabVIEW and the support provided by National Instruments application engineers and the members and contributors to these forums.   Thanks!  

  • What is the advantage of using Yosemite on my iMac over 10.9.5

    What is the advantage of using Yosemite over Lion on my iMac?  Is it any faster, slower or what?

    Before upgrading to a new operating system, here are a couple considerations:
    1.  If you are having problems with your current system, full version upgrades
         will make them worse.  Fix all issues before making the upgrade.
    2.  Make sure that any third party hardware is compatible with the new operating
         system, i.e. drivers available to support the OS.
    3.  The hidden cost item of needing to upgrade apps to work on the new OS.
         If your any of your favorite or mission critical applications are not compatible,
         expect the possibility of needing to purchase upgrades of those apps so that
         they will work on the new OS.
    4.  If you rely on your computer for your livelihood,  be absolutely sure that you
         have a backup strategy and plan to quickly recover should there be any issues.
         There has been many a complaint on this forum that new OS upgrades have
         have ruined their business and had no recovery strategy in place.  Besides,
         anyone relying on a computer for their livelihood is REQUIRED to have such
         a strategy in place regardless of OS upgrades as anything can happen at
         any time.
    5.  If everything is working fine and dandy for you currently, you need to ask if
         any of the new features of an OS of any use to you.  If not, then perhaps
         a "don't fix it if it ain't broke" philosophy is what you should follow.

  • What's the advantage of Sql Azure?

    Hi all;
    We assumed that Sql Azure handled clustering, but apparently that feature is in beta (and has been making no progress for a long time). So what's the advantage of Sql Azure over having a VM we install Sql Server on? Because it looks to me like the VM route
    is equivalent or better (better because you don't get the occasional delay).
    I'm not trying to be antagonistic here, just trying to understand the utility of Sql Azure.

    What we did for the last 6 months -
    Made the world's coolest reporting & docgen system even more amazing

    Hi;
    First off, we've never found Sql Server all that much work. Installs easily and then we're off and running.  I understand people finding create & go a big win, but Sql Server is pretty much that already for us.
    Our use case is we are creating a cloud app that we hope to see world-wide use of it. So we want to start located in the US & Europe and use TrafficManager to send apps to the closest server. There are 2 key DB records for all the requests we'll get,
    the customer & the user.
    The user will tend to be on one continent (but not always). But the customer can have employees (users) on every continent. And for each request coming through, we need to get that customer record fast. Very very fast.
    I'm guessing that 95% (or more) of our DB activity will be selects. 
    Our hope was you had Sql Azure working so it could be instantiated in each data center we have our cloud service and then each is hitting a local DB. But we need it keeping each in-sync with the other because of that customer record (and the user record
    in case of TrafficManager switching who they go to because something went down).
    This is the one thing we've never been able to get Sql Server (on our servers) to do - sync between instances. So I understand that this is hard (impossible?). But at the same time, I think many have this same need we have.
    thanks - dave

    what is the advantages of polymorphism over method overriding,that means if we are able to to create object at different instances at diff time for that sub class reff variable than what is the need of careating object of super class data type(i.e why always it is necessary to have upcasting for polymorphism?but if we can achive the same output without upcasting).....please tell me..lets have complete discuss..

    Seriously though....
    WebLogic (for which I have deployed many apps on) as
    well as Websphere are both high end Java application
    servers, meaning J2EE servers (in short). They allow
    one to deploy Enterprise Archive(EAR), a Web
    Archive(WAR), or an EJB Archive (in a JR file).
    These two servers allow one to deploy EJBs, use
    e JNDI, JMS, connectors, and other J2EE technologies
    - Tomcat does not. well, EJBs - no
    JNDI, yes - http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html
    JMS - yes (with an implementation, such as ActiveMQ: http://activemq.codehaus.org/Tomcat)
    Not sure what you mean by "connectors".
    Tomcat provides quite a bit of functionality (but yes, no EJBs)

  • What are the advantages of forms10g developer suite over forms 6i

    Hi All,
    Am new to this Oracle Forms-10g developer, so I would like to know what are the new features of 10g over 6i. What are the main differences between oracle versions like forms-6i, forms-9i and forms-10g developer suite.
    I even wanted to know what exactly is this OC4J Instance Start.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Chandra Sekhar.

    is the most ignorant answer I've ever seen on this forum.That's quite a horrible distinction to possess here. Frank, it's clear you took my post as a personal insult for a product you've worked on in a major way. That was not my intent, and for that, I apologize. I hope you will take most of my other posts here so far (the overwhelming majority of which are to answer questions for others instead of seek help for myself) into consideration.
    I stand corrected on overlooking the enhancements related to the interfaces with Java.
    There are perhaps a number of viewpoints to Chandra's question. Our users, who are focused on using the applications to do their job-- well, having the forms environment moved from client-server to the web is almost irrelevant to them, and losing client-server was no advantage. I guess I looked at it too narrowly from a pure Forms programmer's point-of-view. One of the things you describe as a new feature-- the ability to see GIFs in the builder, well since I saw ICOs in the builder in 6i, I just don't see an advantage as much as a change/fix to make it work like before.
    Since I never looked hard at 9i release (which I admitted), perhaps I am ignorant to some new features. I went to OTN and looked up the 9.0.2 documentation, and didn't see what these 20+ features might be. If you would point me to a specific document, I would sincerely appreciate it.

  • What are the advantages/disadvantages of using PS/CS5 in 64bit over 32bit please?

    What are the advantages/disadvantages of using PS/CS5 in 64bit over 32bit please?

    From a practical perspective, besides the 64 bit version being a bit faster at just about everything, limitations on document size are lifted in the 64 bit version.  Essentially, how much can do is limited only by how much RAM you have installed in your system.  You can do things like have larger documents, deeper history, etc. and have it all work quickly.
    On the other hand, many 3rd party plug-ins, especially older ones, only provide 32 bit versions, which will only run in 32 bit Photoshop.
    Both 32 and 64 bit versions are installed by default.  It's important to note that most of the preferences are separate between the two, so you can have two slightly different setups that might help with specialty operations you might need.  This gets pretty subtle, but for example I keep the 32 bit version configured with only 1 cache level, so all previews of high bit depth images are always composited in high bit depth.  This aids me with some aspects of astroimage processing.  It's slower, but more accurate.  By contrast I have more cache levels configured for my 64 bit version, so that's faster for general photography work.

  • What is the advantage of using IB to create XIBs/Class Objects over coding?

    Hi all,
    I hoping someone can provide me some pros and cons as to when I should use IB to create XIBs and/or class objects as opposed to directly coding them.
    For example, if I choose Apple's Template for creating a Navigation Based Application (cocoa touch), the project creates two NIB files - MainMenu and RootViewController.
    However looking at one of demo apps SimpleDrillDown, it does not have a RootViewController XIB and instead creates it via code.
    Another example from the same two apps is that the template generates a "Navigation Controller" class object in the Mainmenu.xib. SimpleDrillDown does not bother with this in the XIB, but uses code to generate the controller:
    - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
    // Create the navigation and view controllers
    RootViewController *rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
    UINavigationController *aNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];
    self.navigationController = aNavigationController;
    [aNavigationController release];
    [rootViewController release];
    // Configure and show the window
    [window addSubview:[navigationController view]];
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];
    as opposed to the template which only needs this:
    - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
    // Configure and show the window
    // Navigation Controller is defined in MainWindow.xib
    [window addSubview:[navigationController view]];
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];
    So what are the advantages of each approach. Why does apple suggest one approach and yet all its demos use another.
    Any thoughts, answers gratefully received.
    TIA, Michael.

    You can do whatever you're comfortable with, but most of the best Cocoa programmers--the ones on the Mac, I mean--recommend putting everything you can into Interface Builder.
    It's a little like the difference between writing a program to do a bunch of financial calculations and using a spreadsheet. Yeah, the program can do everything the spreadsheet can--and more besides--but you'll find it far easier to create, use and modify the spreadsheet.
    Interface Builder takes away a lot of completely meaningless choices ("What order should I create the objects in? How should I name the variables? How should I create their frames? What order should I set the attributes in?"), leaving you with an interface optimized for creating and arranging objects, and allowing your code to focus on what you really do need to think about--your application's logic.
    (By the way--part of the reason Apple's demos don't all use Interface Builder is that the very first SDK releases didn't have it. Back then, you had to create all your views programatically. Believe me, I have no wish to go back to setting autoresize masks manually. Now get off my lawn, whippersnapper.)

    Very important is the span column paragraph property which allows to span several columns in a text frame or to split a column in several sub columns.
    Very important is the tag feature, which is also important for creating PDFs with unlimited access.
    A lot of problems with footnotes and page layout have been solved due to a better text engine. Up to CS5.5 it could happen that a footnote could force a page be empty when a document was opened.
    With CS5 rounded frame corners which are editable were introduced.
    Object Styles have been completed since CS3.
    Content tools to create linked content were introduced. You need only to change the original content (text or image) and all linked content will be updated as any other link. The linked content can be in the same and in any other document.
    Since CS5.5 it is much easier to anchor frames in a text flow with the little at the top of a frame symbol.

  • Mobile hotspots---what are the advantages?  better reception?

    What are the advantages of getting a mobile hotspot---such as the Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi 4620L---over simply using the hotspot feature of a tablet (such as the Samsung Galaxy 7.7" or a Motorola Xyboard 8.2") or smartphone (such as the Samsung Stratosphere)?
    More specifically, is the reception better?  For example, in an area of marginal data signal strength, would the mobile hotspot be more likely (as a sort of specialized device) to get a usable signal than would a mobile-hotspot-enabled tablet or smartphone?

    Mobile Hotspot devices like the MiFi products are likely to be more configurable than the hotspot features you are provided with by your smart phone/tablet. 
    Probabally the biggest difference is that a MiFi can support more devices than your smart device.  Another example would be purchasing a larger battery for a MiFi.  Running a hotspot feature on your phone will drain your phone battery quicker.  Haveing a MiFi may extend your battery life and connection sessions simply because the connected devices and mifi do not rely on each other for power.  As AZ mentioned, performance will boil down to the hardware/radios that have been installed.  More powerful equiptment will always perform better.
    In reality they both do the same thing, provide you and others a connection to the internet that you can bring where ever you go.

  • FM7.1 to FM10 : What are the advantages?

    Hello,
    I have to use FrameMaker on Solaris, in a networked environment.
    Currently I am using 7.1 and want to move to 10.
    7.1 already has serious issues with importing pdf files.(http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891661?tstart=30)
    You see I need to give some good reasons to my boss so as to convince him!
    So 1st I want to know if there is a stable 10 ver. that works on Solaris.
    2nd-ly it would be excellent if someone can say very briefly, what are the advantages/problems in ver 10 over 7.1 for Solaris environment.
    Particularly looking out answers from the user "Error7103 "!
    Thanks in advance,
    DP

    FrameMaker 8 supports Unicode too and is faster and more stable than FrameMaker 10.
    Another question that has to be considered is:
    SoLarry?
    Do you want to make any investments in the former Sun platforms now owned by Leisure Suit Larry Ellison?
    If you are running Frame native on Solaris, you are running on SPARC workstations. Sun discontinued those over a year prior to the Oracle Assimilation. Since then, even the Solaris x86 workstations are gone. Oracle is out of the desktop biz, except for thin clients. If a seriously nasty security exploit appears for SparcStations, ORCL may not patch it promptly. As your hardware ages and fails, you may find yourself getting parts from eBay.
    I suspect that the bottom line for this inquiry is that it's not likely to be a an FM7 to FM8 upgrade on Solaris, but a total platform migration to Windows. The label on that can reads: Worms: species, quantity and condition unknown.

  • What are the advantages..

    Hi friends,
          can you please tell me <b>what are the advantages of using MVC?</b> because <b>i can use ABAP Objects without using MVC.</b>
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Kannan.

    Hi Kanna,
            For Dynamically componentised you need to use controller.In the main page you partition for what you want to present dynamically and then call controller as a response to the user.What the action you have take in case of Page flow logic(Event Handler) need to be placed in controller.
    Using the MVC design pattern has the following advantages:
    ·        Structuring BSP applications is simplified, since the view is cleanly separated from the controller and the model.  This not only facilitates changing BSP applications, but also considerably improves their maintenance.
    ·        You have the option of generating program-driven layout. The HTML/XML output is therefore created by program code instead of a page with scripting.
    ·        Navigation using the <bsp:goto> element and call using the <bsp:call> element. The advantage of using <bsp:goto> navigation over redirect is that there is no additional network traffic. Furthermore, you remain in the same work process, which can have advantages for creating objects and memory space. The call using <bsp:call> element is more variable than adding them using INCLUDEdirective, since it is triggered at runtime.
    With the call option using <bsp:call>, you can also distribute the user interface into components.
    ·        Optimized performance due to fewer redirects.
    ·        Intuitive and east-to-use interface for application development.
    Main advantage of MVC is that you can keep these(Model View ,Controller) separately.If you need to change in logic you do not have to worry about presentation(View).

  • What is workflow ? What are the advantages of using workflow? What are the

    what is workflow ? What are the advantages of using workflow? What are the steps for building a workflow ?

    Hi Leela,
    Your question is very straight question.
    Better u can follow these links.
    http://www.esnips.com/doc/90b7763b-f9d9-4861-a273-04674b9fe3f2/Workflow
    http://www.esnips.com/doc/991843e0-8686-4949-94b9-f45d90081b22/workflow
    And i'll give some theory answer for ur questions
    i.e.,SAP Business Workflow can be used to define business processes that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved. SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.
    You can also use SAP Business Workflow to respond to errors and exceptions in other, existing business processes. You can start a workflow when predefined events occur, for example an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check.
    SAP provides several workflows that map predefined business processes. These workflows do not require much implementation. For an overview of these SAP workflows, refer to Workflow Scenarios in Applications.
    Integration
    SAP Business Workflow uses the existing transactions and functions of the R/3 System and does not change the functions. You can combine the existing functions of the R/3 System to form new business processes with SAP Business Workflow. The workflow system takes over control of the business processes. If you are already using SAP Organizational Management, you can use the organizational structure created there to have the relevant agents carry out the individual activities. It is possible to have an activity carried out by a position. This ensures that the respective occupiers of the position can carry out the individual activities during execution of the workflow. This means that personnel changes in your organization are taken into account immediately in the execution of a workflow.
    Features
    SAP Business Workflow provides a number of tools for defining and analyzing workflows as well as for monitoring operation.
    The Workflow Builder is for displaying and making changes to workflows. You can make small extensions directly to the original workflows supplied by SAP, such as carrying out your own agent assignments or changing deadline monitoring.
    There are several Workflow Wizards to support you in the definition of workflows, with which you can create specific parts of a workflow. The Workflow Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of the existing Workflow Wizards.
    In order to make the functions of the R/3 Systems available to a workflow, you use business objects, which you can define and analyze in the Business Object Builder. These business objects are made available to the workflow in reusable tasks. The Business Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of all existing tasks.
    The end user receives information about the activities they are to carry out in their Business Workplace. This provides them with a central overview of all the activities that they are authorized to carry out. They can commence the activities from here.
    Several tools are available to the workflow system administrator, with which they can control and analyze the current workflows. The workflow system administrator is notified of problems automatically by the system.
    Workflow tutorials with step-by-step and with screenshots are available at http://www.****************/Tutorials/Workflow/Workflow.htm
    This has a step by step procedure :
