These come in many different sizes and shapes, from a variety of manufacturers, so you can't generalize. Some use exotic cooling technology, and are very expensive. Many people home-build cases, with varying results. If well built, they can be effective. The huge danger, though, is running the inside temperature of the box too hot and gradually cooking your components, producing failure of drives and other components. It pays to keep a careful watch on the inside temperature, and not let it get any hotter than would be comfortable if you were in the box yourself. Actually, for long life, a lot of professional studios and post houses keep their machine rooms lower than comfortable room temperature. Some people plumb their boxes into their facilities HVAC system, and that can be effective if you have a supply of cold air. The other danger is initially buying a box that can handle the heat of your components, but then gradually adding a peripheral here, an interface there, etc., etc., until the temperature is way too hot. If at all possible, putting your computers in a separate room is a vastly superior solution. You get the noise and heat out of the control room, and you can also easily get at everything. Either way, a commercially made iso box, or cable extension equipment is going to be expensive. Extension, however, is a better long-term solution because you're not limited to the dimensions of an iso box. Lee Blaske

Get the Emagic-Hotline under 00494101495110 from 10h-18h CET and tell them your problem, they can arrange a new code for another demo-period, just tell them about the severity of your crash...and have your logic registration and XS-Key Number handy. n > My Mac just crashed and has freaked out the date and time which in turn has > destroyed my demo periods on ESB etc and I¹m in the middle of a session. > [yes I¹m a relatively new user] > Anyone have a solution for this apart from buying the products [my territory > does not carry stock and it¹s weeks away]. > Thanks in advance, > BJ > Nikolaus Sieveking nap - nichtlineareaudioproduktionen <niko@...>

I have my g4 and 17" studio lcd racked using marathon's gear. It's great but make sure to note that its heavy.... I'm glad its heavy but make sure you're using a strong rack. (mine's in a shockmount) I haven't had any problems with my g4 reading cd's while rack'd horizontally.... but i never thought of burning anything while its horizontal. If you do a lot of burning to dvd then you probably better mount it upright... although if you just burn to cd you could always use an external drive. -Evan --- In logic-tdm@yahoogroups.com, John Zuker <jzuker@e...> wrote: > Do any of you guys (Marathon style) rackmount your Macs horizontally? > I understand that there may be problems with the Superdrives, even with the > clips that Marathon provides. > > I need more room in my Isorack and want to know if this is a viable > solution.

Anyone know how to transfer your Logic OS9 Preferences into Logic OSX...as there is no preferences folder in X.....?? Anyone do the switch over have any comments.?? Anyone do a EXS Voice Comparison on any kind of Dual machine as far as voices and Native capabilities in OS9 compared to OSX ???

You can import the key commands from the original pref file, but for the rest I think u should set them manually, it only takes a couple of minutes anyway. There is a pref folder in OSX under user/"your name"/library/preferences/ the Logic prefs are now called "info.emagic.logic" but it I wouldn't move and rename the pref file from OS9 if I were you ~danger~ ... Haven't done voice/juice comparison but it feels like it can handle a little bit more :-) Cheers / Henrik onsdagen den 26 februari 2003 kl 17.28 skrev Thomas T: > Anyone know how to transfer your Logic OS9 Preferences into > Logic OSX...as there is no preferences folder in X.....?? > Anyone do the switch over have any comments.?? > Anyone do a EXS Voice Comparison on any kind of Dual machine > as far as voices and Native capabilities in OS9 compared to OSX ??? > Cheers ..Tom@... > -- > > > "Just Hold Down The Option Key And Call Me In The Morning" > > -------------------------------------------------------- > Thomas Trafalski > Seismic Sound Productions > tom@... > (310) 560-9956 > (323) 665-4390 > -------------------------------------------------------- > > > UNSUBSCRIBE: send a blank email to > logic-tdm-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com > Please email logic-tdm-owner@yahoogroups.com to contact an admin. > > > > > Your use of Yahoo!

Will, I have an enclosure made by KK audio which is pretty well built. It deadens the noise a good amount, although not completely. Actually, you mostly DO hear the fan that is part of the unit. But its not bad, its much quieter then before. I agree with Lee that putting your Macs/PC's/Storage in another room is best. I just don't have another room. I actually keep the doors on it open most of the time, and just close them for critical live recording and mixing. If I have a long day of mixing and live recording, I then take alot of breaks and open that sucker up at those times. Its good for my head and the machines.

I posted this about a week ago, but no-one replied. Am I the only one with this behaviour? I'm using Logic 5.5 with PT|HD hardware. When I use "Add file" in the Audio window I get the standard dialog box OK, and I can audition any file OK (by pressing the space bar, or the "play" button in the dialog). However, once I have auditioned one file I am unable to audition any more. If I select another file and hit the play button, the file mins & secs counter ticks over, but no sound comes out, and the audition meters don't move. Note this is when adding files into the Audio window, not playing files within the Audio window itself. Anyone got any clues? Ian ------------------------------ Ian G. Morris - Tonewright "Clairvoyant, n. A person who has the power of seeing that which is invisible to her client — namely, that he is a blockhead."

Just noticed this during a hefty session yesterday. I normally have the "Punch-in" option selected in the "Audio" menu, so I can do seamless punch-ins. Beneath that is the "Auto-input monitoring" option which I have as a key command also - so I can switch it off to run the track without recording, and the performers still hear themselves on "input". I've noticed now that after recording one take, these two menu options are greyed out. They obviously get greyed out while recording is taking place, but then fail to become active again when the recording is finished. The only way I've found to get them back is to disarm the recording tracks and re-arm them again. Is it just me? Ian ------------------------------ Ian G.

I know that auditioning is handled by the Direct I/O side of DAE/Logic, so it must be this that is playing up. You can get around it by deselecting 'DAE Fileselector for 'Add Audio File...'' in the Audio Hardware and Drivers, DAE section. Unfortunately, you get the slightly less useful Logic version instead of the DAE one which has no meters, no space-bar-play and no counter. -- The best of times to you all... Pants

Hello Sorry for cross-posting ­ this is a TDM plug-in issue, but it seems that few Emagic developers run around at the Logic-TDM list! Here¹s an oddity: * I insert a TDM plug-in that has a vector-type control ­ e.g. Waves Q1, where you can grab the gain/frequency point and move it around; * I put the track into Touch automation, and wiggle away; * Logic has now only recorded the automation on the axis in which I _first_ moved the control. If I try the same in VST, then both axes' parameters are recorded correctly! Yet in Pro Tools, the _same_ plug-in under TDM yields correct automation recording! Anyone got any ideas how to work around this one? TIA, over and out - goin' home now... -- The best of times to you all... Pants

Ian just wanted to say you're not alone - sadly I don't know how to fix it either. I also can't use any of the audio suite pluggins - computer crashes. The ESB side of logic/HD turns itself off randomly, my "The Grand" VST plugin has rarely worked for more than 5 minutes before turning itself off. Daren't even try it any more. Know how to fix any of these problems?? Does anyone?

With PT you can just toggle a key and go back and forth between Auto and Input. In Logic I've always had to take the track out of record and toggle. Actually that was on the 9600. I have not tried it as yet on the G4. Phil Buckle. (I've noticed that TDM does not cut out like it did on the 9600. I was forever turning a EXS into mono and back to stereo to wake it up. Funnily enough a friend of mine still has this exact problem on his G4. Go figure)

Someone posted the method for using Res Edit on Logic to allow Now Menus to take over the Open Dialog. This worked a treat in 5.3 but I need to do it again in 5.5. I've lost the original post. Could someone kindly re post it? Many thanks. Phil Buckle.
