The set up sounds like it would work fine, but what do you intend to record, a full band during live performances, or home recording guitar and vocals over some MIDI bass/drums/keyboard tracks?
You may want additional input channels to have better control of the mix if you intend to record a full band and need to isolate the different instruments/vocals.
You can always use a mixer board and just record from the line-outs of the PA if you are happy with the live mix. The MacBook has 2-channel (Stereo left/right) audio inputs built-in. So you really only need the FW input box if you lack a PA system or other mixer and want the flexibility of added simultaneous track recording. So, I guess it depends if you think you might need additional vocal channels and instruments, then maybe consider a mixer board with more inputs. Check the specs to see how many simultaneous independent inputs are sent to the computer.
The computer and software should do the trick. I haven't used Logic, just played around with Garage Band and an older version of Cubasis.

SB Audigy 2ZS Plarinum Pro: setting source for recording

Hello!
I am having problems setting the source for recording. I want to set the recording source from 'Wave' (default) to 'Line-In /Mic'. After doing so with the mixer or the MediaSource Player it resets to 'Wave' after some time. Why? Can I force the software to make 'Line-In /Mic' the default setting? It really dri'ves me nuts to see that the source has changed without me being notified. I want to have the source changed only by myself and not by some cozmic radiation, God's will, voodoo magic and whatnot.
Greetings
ClustalW

<Re: SB Audigy 2ZS Plarinum Pro: setting source for recording? Okay ClustalW, I understand the "Default" problem you are having. So can you go to control panel, and sound and there look at your recording devices and tell me what do you see? If your desired device is there, you can choose it as the default and then throughout the rest of windows, this will be THE global default recording device or the first choice, when you are in other programs to record from. Also, make sure your device is plugged in when making this change. On my system with that board, a few years ago, I could make the choice, but it would always pick something else when the source was unplugged. For example, if I were using the front bay inputs as recording, when I would unplug them and reboot, my system picked the next thing as default.
Next go into to your Creative Control panel and do the same thing there. Theoretically your choices should be linked, but this is not always the result. I can choose mine in Vista and windows 7, but lastly I always go to the Creative mixer applet and do it there and that works best. For me, my default is my front panel Mic or Microphone FP but as soon as I unplug it, it wants to make my back mic jack the default.

Setting Color for Records in forms6i

Dear All
How can I set color for particular records on a form. i.e. Set the color of all employees whose salary is greater than 2000 to Red and All the rest to Green
Solomon

Hello,
6i is an old version and I don't remember if there is a Set_Item_Instance_Property() built-in. If yes, you can use it with a Visual Attribute that held the colors.

What's a decent set up for a Premiere Pro, CS5 noob?

Hey there, I'm a Premiere Pro noob and I'm trying to assemble my first editing PC. I'm completely new to all of this, so I've just been doing some research and I have come up with this list. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of changes I could make, or maybe there are things that I'm missing that I should consider. I assume one of the first things I'll hear is the the hard drives are too small - 3 x 320GB. I'm mostly concerned with keeping the cost down. I was hoping to set up my PC for 1500, so I'm spending that little bit more already. I don't want to overclock and I'll be mostly editing AVCHD, so there's no need for RAID afaik. Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated!

My 3 hard drives are configured as...
1 - 320Gig Boot for Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
2 - 320Gig data for Win7 swap file and video project files
3 - 1Terabyte data for all video files... input & output files
Your data drive really needs to be larger than 320Gig
Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows swap file

HT1386 Hello, When trying to sync, I get the following message. This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone "Terri George's iPhone". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?

while trying to sync with my iphone I recieve the message: This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone “Terri George’s iPhone”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store? When I put in my password and hit authorize, I get a message telling me there was an unknown error (-50). Would love to sync today. Any help would be appreciated.

The -50 error is documented in this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
Here is a synopsis:
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

I've got an iPad and iPhone 4S, both of which are set up for facetime. When someone calls me, both the iPad and phone ring, even though the phone is set to receive facetime calls on the number and the iPad is set for an email account. why is this?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

I want to get another 4s and use it not as a phone, but only as a video camera and editor and hook it up only with wifi. i would sync it to itunes so i can pay for apps and upload. would this work, or must it be connected to a phone carrier?

Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
CCC will do the rest.
If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.

Would like to automate this Powershell command that sets the UPN of all mail enabled users

I have command that changes the UPN of all mailbox users
Get-ADUser -Filter * -properties homemdb | where {$_.homemdb -ne $null} | ForEach-Object ($_.SamAccountName) {$CompleteUPN = $_.SamAccountName + “@contoso.com”; Set-ADUser -Identity $_.DistinguishedName -UserPrincipalName $CompleteUPN}
The command works using the AD module for
powershell. What I would like to do it write a script that does the following.
Runs the command above
Only applies changes to users that need it. (I think this applies the setting to all users with the "homemdb")
I was thinking of setting it as a scheduled task on one of the Domain Controllers. My
powershell skills are lacking at best, so any guidance on how to set this up would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I don't have a H4 but do have a H2. Did you set the H4 as a audio interface, after you plug it in choose interface in the H4 screen?
Did you choose the H4 input channel in the track info?

The password is yours to keep and remember. Adobe do not have any backdoor to get it back -- because if there were a backdoor, hackers would use it.

Would this be a decent set-up for recording???
