Who uses exs24 for drums?

hi, ive always been aware of drum programming via exs24.....but never fully understood in depth..... how its done.....
who uses exs24 for drums?? can you explain how you use it?
ive loaded up a bunch of hits....across a zone.....
but those parameters on the front of the exs24..... change the sound of the whole instrument, right?
but say if you wanna change the sound of one kick drum? with the exs24.....
would you have to devote the whole channel/exs24 to the ONE kick sound???
or can you independently tweak each drum sound on each zone/key?
im sorry, but how do i send a drum sound from exs24 to its own channel in logic mixer?
im used to NI battery but havnt got it for the mac yet.... should i take the time out and use and learn exs24 for my drum programming?
cheers

that sounded like live drumming....
thanks
was that recorded from a live drummer, or you programme the drums in the piano roll/matrix editor?
so when you use the exs24 for drums....you just programme in the piano roll? or record live MIDI.....
This obviously depends from personal experience...
I know drummers that play directly to EXS24 (or other sampler) by using MIDI trigger pads... (such as Roland Pad drums)
I know professional drummer that make session over the web for work
I'm a Piano player and i prefer to use my keyboard or... depends.. if I need to add juas a Crash Cynbals on the down beat I can also use to add direct in the piano roll and copy the same over the song
everything depends from the target that you want reach...
programming drums via midi is not much different tha other instruments parts
every professional musician has his personal business secrets, obtained with the experience of his work.
so you have one drum sound per exs24 in a single stero track?
Yes, single tracks of single stereo samples in the 80% of cases...
I also use various Samples that I select by myself during the working in progress...
I can only suggest you to search in the Thousands of Akai samples Library (or Roland, EMU, Kurzwiel)
and of course in the NI generation such as EWQL Stormdrum and spectrasonics...
in almost cases the samples are the same.. but if you have milion of Sample you can reach to find your personal sound setting!
Obviously.. there is a faster way... just use EZ-drummer, Battery, BFD etc.

Who uses STP for audio post professionally

Who uses STP for audio post and can it be used as a alternative to high end audio editor such as protools? Im studying sound design and I completely forgot about STP and I wanna to dig a little deeper and experiment with the program so.....is it any good or shall I save up for protools???

Let me start by saying I'm not an audio engineer but a picture editor. Having said that I feel I can shed a little light on this topic. STP is not ProTools. There are people who love STP and those that hate it. I find it useful in a couple of ways.
1. Creating Noise Prints and reducing background sounds like AC or refrigerator. This is what I predominantly use STP for.
2. Using the Time Stretching tool. You can change the length of an audio clip without affecting the pitch. You can also do this in FCP with a filter but sometimes I find it easier in STP.
3. The Music Beds and Sound Effects. I find these useful whether as temp music or having more choices in SFX.
All that I mentioned above can be done in ProTools. I find that the roundtrip between FCP and STP to be very easy which is why I use it for my needs. If you are studying sound design then my suggestion would be to become knowledgeable in as many software applications as you can. The concepts are the same just the tools are different.
I hope this helps!

Who uses cProjects for IT internal projects ?

Hi togehther,
is there someone who uses the cProjects System to handle IT-Projects?

Greetings.
We are in the process of impmenting SAP Suite in our organization. I am trying to promote the use of xRPM and cProjects during the impmentation. The main reason is that we are looking for a sloution for our core activities which is related to development project fianiancing. The use of xRPM and cProjetcs will give a good chance whether this sloution is suitable for us. The other reason is to enforce good project managment discpline by utlizing cProjects stage-gate concept.
I wish to hrear from others on thier expricne of using cProects in IT projects, speciaclly for SAP realted projects.

How do I share a keynote presentation I created on my Mac with a friend who uses keynote for iOS?

I have created a presentation on my Mac in Keynote '13. It's in iCloud, and I'd like to share it with a friend who wants to work on it from her iPad with the latest Keynote for iOS installed. There seems to be no way in the world to make that happen. Airdrop: available on my Mac, not on her iPad, even though we're on the same wireless network. iCloud sharing: will open a link in the iPads safari, with a not very well working verison of iWork for iCloud. No way to download the file to the iPad and work in Keynote! Shared via Messages: the presentation will show up in messages and can be viewed in there, but it can NOT be opened in Keynote for iOS. Eventually I tried to move it out of iCloud, so I could just send it to her via mail. Guess what, Keynote '13 files can not be attached to mail?!?!?!?I thought I was reasonably tech savvy, but working with Apple's userfriendly technology makes me feel like someone who has never touched anything electronic before in his life

Not done, sorry.
so sending by mail didn't work either, because the Keynote 13 file could not be attached to a mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Keynote 09 can as can PowerPoint). This is ridiculus. This is Apple trying really hard to make it impossible for people to work with their software

A friend who uses Tb for Mac wants to bcc. he says it won't. really?

I use a PC and am helping a friend, a MAC user. He says he can't bcc, and for the life of me, I can't understand why. Are there some clear instructions for this, or is it just too obvious?

Anybody use GarageBand for Drum Corps/Marching Band work?

I'm not in Drum Corps or anything, but I used to follow that stuff when I was in high school marching band, and I got the idea that GarageBand could potentially be a pretty nifty way to arrange some of that kind of music.
Just wondering if anybody has done this? Any recommended Jam Packs/other instruments? Other experiences/pros/cons welcome!
Thanks!

Try place like these. I have not heard any of these loops myself.

Using Garageband for live performances

I would love to hear from anyone who uses GB for live performances. I'm especially interested in how you store and play your music; ie direct from your computer drive, on flash card or thumb drive etc. I'm a one man show with guitar, flute, and keyboard. I'm really new at this and any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey Gillermo... I might have to eat my words. I had a good think about this last night and I have come up with a plan. Just shooting from the hip and so might need some refinement, but here goes...
The problem as I saw it with Garageband was two fold...
1. how to lay out several songs or groups of pre recorded tracks and tracks with effects on them for my vocal and guitar and
2. lack of an easy to use controller of some sort that worked with GB to minimize mouse use, speed up transfer/choosing between songs and organize my set layout with a structure of some sort.
As a result of mucking around with my Korg NanoKontrol and using the plugin for GarageBand, I can now envision a logical system for using GB for Live performance as a one person show.
The NanoK has the ability to control 8 tracks at a time. You have use of Volume, Pan, Mute, Solo as well as the transport buttons when using scene number 1 on the NK. It has the ability to scroll through groups of 8 tracks at a time with dedicated buttons on fader bank 9.
As a simple example, lets take 4 tracks 1. a track dedicated to vocal with some effects on it to taste 2. a track dedicated to guitar with some effects to taste 3. prerecorded bass track (file bounced down to mp3 or similar) and 4. a drum/percussion track set up like track 3.
Now what you have is the use of 4 tracks for your performance ( there are a few other options though). Now if you load tracks 5-6 with the bass and drums of another song and 7-8 with the tracks of yet another song you now have 3 songs you can play/sing from the first fader bank set. These are all visible on the laptop screen.
Now thinking in groups of 8 tracks, the 2nd set of 8 tracks (tracks 9-16) is set up in a similar way with tracks 9-10 duplicates of 1-2 (vox & guitar) and 3 sets of bass and drums (or what ever). You would name each set of bass and drum tracks with the name of the song so you could always find out where you are. You could also apply instrument icons for easier identification.
So starting with fader bank 1 and tracks 1-4 un muted, you would have muted all the other tracks in the entire set ( before you started your show obviously). Hit play, sing your song... hit stop. Hit rewind, mute tracks 3-4, un mute tracks 5-6, hit play when ready and away you go with song No.2. Repeat for song 3. Once you have completed these 3 songs and made sure all of the tracks are muted via the Nano, press the button that moves the controls to the next set of 8 tracks or 3 songs.
Now in terms of performance there would be some trial and error needed to find out how big the project file could be before there were computer performance issues. I read somewhere there was an upper limit of approx 240 tracks in GB. In reality you would be thinking in terms of how many songs there are in your sets. So in this scenario if you had 15 songs in each set you would only need 40 tracks or 5 sets of 8 fader banks.
To minimize performance issues with projects getting on the large side, in between your sets you could close the project with set one in it and open the project file with set 2 in it.
A couple of other layout options would be to use an entire bank of faders for each song. You could have between 5-8 tracks usable per song. You could have a combination of audio, .wav/mp3, electric guitar and software instrument tracks. Simply go through the mute/unmute process as you scroll through your songs.
You could also lock/unlock the odd track for another level of performance optimization, but you would have to use the mouse pad for this as it can't be done via the NK.
The pro's for this type of system are
1. Complete control of mixing vol & pan for the venue you are in
2. Very simple control at your finger tips, 2 or more faders at a time, limited mouse use
3. A logical frame work to create your sets.
4. You can stay in GarageBand, no need for another software program.
5. Very cheap investment.
The Con's would all revolve around your computer spec's.
1. Max out your RAM.
2. Be selective with effects
3. System HD speed.
Note, I am assuming my vox and guitar are going through and audio interface with outs to an amp or PA of some sort.
I am going to have to try this out. I really DO NOT LIKE Ableton Live. It is heavy on CPU and gets really deep very quickly. If this works then I will have an Live Serial# for sale.

I just purchased a macbook air, and because of the limited memory (256 gb) and my HUGE music library, I need aomne form of external storage. i am considering either using iCloud for iTunes, or purchasing an external hard drive. suggestions or opinions?

hi! just purchased a macbook air, and because of the limited storage (256 gb) and my massive music library, I am going to find an alternative storage method. I am debating between an external hard drive and utilizing iCloud. icloud makes me a little nervous....having my entire library in "the cloud" and deleted off of my desktop - do most of you who use icloud for music and photos have a backup on external hard drive anyway? So....iCloud vs. external hard drive for storage. Thoughts? opinions? thanks!

iTunes Match allows you to put 25,000 songs in the Cloud. At present it isn't possible to add more storage but I wouldn be surprised if that isn't an option offered in the future. With iTunes Match you allow Apple to match your songs (purchased from Apple, ripped from your own CDs are purchased elsewhere). When Apple cannot match a song a copy of yours is uploaded.
Once the match process is complete (for my 24,000+ collection it took a couple days) the fun begins. Since my MBA can't hanle all my music, I use iTunes Match to download a small selection of my music every couple of weeks. My music remains in the cloud even when I delete them from my computer and if I have WiFi accesss I can get new songs. It is a great service and much more convenient than keeping your MBA's music on an external drive.

Dynadock U10 whith applications who use GDI+

My client has a Windows XP laptop and the driver for dynadock is up to date.
What can I do with dynadock U10 for my application works ?
Bests regards

You can't tell which device a purhcase was made on, but if your family members each have their own iTunes account to which your card is linked then you can check the purchase history on each of those accounts via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes - that should have 'purchase history' section with a 'see all' link to the right of it

Apps can only be updated using the same Apple ID and password they were originally purchased with.

HT2458 Has anyone else who uses AT&T as their carrier been told if you cannot access your voicemail through your iPhone that there is no way to check your voicemails? This is an issue since I had to send my phone in for repair. Thank you

You received incorrect information from AT&T. You can indeed access your voicemail without your iPhone.
Call AT&T at (800) 331-0500 (assuming you're in the U.S.). This is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week number. Ask them how to access your voicemail. Normally, you would just do this by dialing your number from another phone, typing "*" once your voicemail recording starts, and entering your password. You don't know your password, so it's probably the last four digits of your phone number or perhaps the seven - or ten-digit phone number. Let the AT&T person tell you.

"Your options are:
Get a trial account form @mac which will work as an iChat name after the 60 days run out but not be a email account that is valid (And is free)"
Do you mean a trial account from .Mac? (DotMac)
"Get an AIM Screen name and set it to Display what you want as you set it up.
The Screen name can be whatever yu want but you can also set it to display something else as well."
I had thought about this, but it seems other people have already chosen the screen name "pinksharkmark" and virtually every variation of it I can think of. So that isn't an option for me. As for getting it to display something else as well, do you mean that if I were to get an AIM screen name like "CromulentCat" I could somehow log in to iChat under the AIM account "CromulentCat" yet get iChat to represent me to my Buddies as "PinkSharkMark"? Because I have to admit I don't see how that can be done. It appears as if iChat displays to anyone chatting with you precisely the account name you logged in under and nothing else. So if you logged in using a .Mac account, then you are displayed as "[email protected]" while if you logged in under an AIM account, you are displayed as "CromulentCat". But that's it that's all... there is no way to change CromulentCat to PinkSharkMark.
Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, though.
