I actually fixed the Safari hang-up with the Apple Support on the phone line (90 days free support). But Apple Support could not tell me how to get rid of all M-Audio driver items from the installation. Although I was amazed about that, my system is now working fine again. -- Best wishes Per Boysen www.boysen.se

Hi group, tried to install my PCI cards on my new G5 2x2Ghz. No luck. None of the card is recognised (UAD-1, Powercore Firewirde, RME HDSP PCI). I tried different slots and different combination of card (only one, in different slots). Any ideas :-(

Finally an entertaining 'bug' Please save first! Do the following: Open the EVP88 click on the close thingy that animates the piano closing and immediately after click the close button of the plug-in window. hihi. Cheers Hans

Hi Paul, My new dual G5 is very quiet. Much quieter than my recent studio machine, a 2 GHz Pentium 4, but not as quiet as my friends 17" Powerbook. I've been finishing five projects on the G5 so far and was never disturbed by the fan noise. Vocals are recorded here in the same room, although I'm compressing and using an expander, before AD converting, to carefully fade out background noise between the notes. -- Best wishes Per Boysen www.boysen.se On 03-11-07 16.30, "grahluk" <paulw@...> wrote: > [subject header changed to OT by Admin - please reply privately, or to the OT > group] > Hello, > I was/am just about to sell my 1Ghz dual booting G4 Tibook to help > fund a G5.

I have never programmed a computer in my life... I would love to make a couple of basic OSX programmes... I would love to learn to make 1) a program for time mgmt in OSX 2) some programs for teaching music to kids. How do i learn the programming basics - where can i start my reading/learning?

Woh... that's quite the question... I honestly wouldn't know where to start -- it's been so long since I first started programming, that the resources I used then would be totally useless nowadays. One things to be aware of is that no matter which environment you pick, be it hardcore assembler or some cute & friendly drag & drop & add-code environment, learning to write a proper non-trivial program is going to take *very much time*. Not something you do on a late Sunday evening. Please do not underestimate the effort involved in coming to grips with basic concepts such as event-flow, control-loops, input/output handling, etcetera. That being said, I think that nowadays I would recommend a programming environment such as RealBasic. I honestly think it doesn't get any easier than this. You create a new window, and drag & drop a button and a textfield into it. Double-click the button, and a window opens in which you can enter code for the event "button_clicked". So you can start typing something like MainWindow.close MsgBox MyTextField.text I.e. when the button is clicked, the window called MainWindow will be closed. Next a message-box will be shown displaying the text that was entered in the text-field which you'd called MyTextField. Compile the program, and you have your first mac-programm running -- including an automatic menu with Quit option (always handy :), and an Edit menu with functioning cut/copy/paste commands, so that you can paste text from the clipboard into the text field for example. This is of course an example whose simplicity doesn't do justice to the complexity of programming in general, but at least you'll get an idea of the methodology of writing a program in RealBasic. No worries about linking files and libraries and including headers and stuff (all of which you'll run into when programming in C/C++). RealBasic gives lots of functionality "for free". The drawback is that since it's a relatively "high level" environment, you're screwed if the environment hasn't implemented something you want to do. Example: RealBasic for OSX has no means of using the CoreMIDI routines, which simply means you can't do any midi-stuff at all (which sucks indeed). It is possible to extend RealBasic's functionality with 3rd party plug-ins (written in C/C++), but no CoreMIDI plug-in has been written yet... (the same lack of midi-support holds for OS9, but at least there's a 3rd party OS9 plug-in that lets you use OMS). I know this doesn't answer your literal question, but... well, at least it might give you some ideas about which directions you might want to explore further. BTW, the RealBasic website is at http://www.realsoftware.com/. -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra h @ k n o w a r e . n l Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com/

Does anyone have a DP4 environment for logic I have one for the 2 for the Triton, 3 for the Micro q, 1 for the Pulse, and a few for the ex5r. I would greaty appreciate it.

I'm thinking of buying a Lexicon MPX1. I want a quality reverb and a delay which definately has a low and highs eq on the feedback loop so I can get those echoes that have less highs and less bass on every repeat. This is a classic effect used alot in reggae. My first question is: I've checked the MPX500 details on the net and it seems that the delay only has a low pass filter on the feedback loop. So from the limited info I found it seems that the MPX500 may not be able to achieve this effect. Can the MPX1 do this effect? I read something about being able to insert effect blocks in the feedback loop. What different effects are available for inserting in the feedback loop? Also which has the better reverb quality the MPX500 or the MPX1? Ok I'm pretty sure it's the more expensive MPX1. How do the reverbs compare to the higher priced Lexicon reverb units. Thanks for any help. PS, I own a UAD-1 card which has is my only quality reverb 'realverb' plug in. If you have compared the UAD-1s reverb to the MPX1 I'd be keen to hear your comments.

There have been a few questions from LUG members today as to what has happened to the www.osxaudio.com website. There is a mail from Urs Heckmann on the www.logicusers.de website saying that "the site owner has a problem with his provider, but the site should be up and running tomorrow, after which he needs to switch providers". FWIW, this is a rough translation from German. Lets see if it is true tomorrow ..... kind regards Mark Cahill - LUG Admin

I've listed a pair of Yamaha MSP5 studio monitor speakers on eBay. Item number: 2574439452 Thanks for taking a look. Bob http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item%74439452

I want to get some clean samples of this machine or the oberheim dmx as well. I actually already have some samples of these machines from a cdrom full of drum machines samples 'dance mega drums 01' or '116 electric drum machines'. But to get a similar sound on the hihats as what I frequently hear on record requires a ridiculous amount of eqing. My bet is that the samples I have are very poor in the high frequency area IOW very dull sounding. Hopefully someone can help. I would post this on the higher populated Logic list but it is definately OT. Peace.

Thanks.

56/28 = 2, so a factor of 2. If at all possible you should try to get a broadband connection. I just switched from 56k modem to cable. I pay 30 euro per month for unlimited high-speed access (8-10 times the speed of the 56k modem), and my phone-bill is 50 euro per month lower, so I actually save 20 euro per month. Now, if that isn't "the best of both worlds", I don't know what is :-D. -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra h @ k n o w a r e . n l Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com/

Years ago, it cost me £400 via mail order when my local shop was offering end of line 303 and 808 bundles for about £90. Muggins here thought it more clever to go digital. Life's been like that. A few of the same EPROMS were also in the Linn drum, I believe. The bd's and snares are plenty flubby and the grungy 8 bit sizzle on the cymbals do have some charm (though I came to loathe them with a vengeance) and the clap is infamous - spookily, just as I got your mail, the bastard thing came plopping out of this 'ere Sasha/Airdrawndagger CD. If you give me a bit of time, I'll dig it out from the six-months old undone laundry it's festering under and, if it still works, I'll shove it into SoundForge and try and get a full EXS24 soundset of it for you. I'm sure, however, I've seen it on one of the freebie EXS download sites. Whether those samples will be any cleaner than what I'll be able to muster with my rusty old AW2, is debatable though... Did I tell you about the time I blew £250 on the next big thing for budget mastering? - a DCC recorder [you don't want to know]. ___ Ade

But you know you can adjust pitch directly in Logic too. Open up the sound file by double clicking the region in the arrange window. Select the part of the sound file where you want to change the pitch and write in the new value. Can be trick though if your voice pitch is wailing up and down all the time. -- Best wishes Per Boysen www.boysen.se www.looproom.com

Twice the speed is twice the speed. So it's not the same as with computers, where a double clock speed doesn't necessarily mean double perceived speed. -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra h @ k n o w a r e . n l Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com/

Hi Roman - in Auckland you'll be struggling to connect at 56k reliably and hold the connection. Most of the time you'll find that about 44k is the reliable limit, with occasional faster connects. Real-world? Expect it to be maybe 50-70% faster on average. You won't notice a huge difference. If you're looking at a hardware purchase anyway, and if your budget can stretch a little, I _really_ advise looking into the Jetstream ADSL home option. From that, you can expect maybe 5x the download speed of a 56k modem. It's always connected (no dialling), and you don't tie up the phone line. Alternately, the Woosh! wireless service is an interesting recent arrival on the scene, at similar cost and speed to the Jetstream home service. John Pitcairn
