It’s been hard to dedicate time on Logic at present - still haven’t been able to get the X5D recording AND playing back MIDI as yet, though thanks to a call to Apple Support 2 weeks ago I can at least play my Korg through the iMac - just not through Logic Pro as yet.
Anyway, [...]
One of the problems with using a camcorder is that while sometimes you’ll film great scenes, the video itself can be shaky or otherwise move in such a way as to make the video footage not good for viewers.
For example, one of the first videos I’ve uploaded into iMovie is taken from on board a [...]
I had an issue with a number of software instruments - especially synth pads - showing the following error message when selected:
“Plugin Hybrid Mor cannot be found”
This seemed to run through a number of instruments and certainly wasn’t welcome, so I contacted Apple Support and ran through a series of checks to correct this.
Eventually, the [...]
I’ve had a few problems with the iSight camera on my iMac not working in iMovie - yet working fine in iChat.
However, I’ve just been speaking to a Ray Ford from Apple Support who has been very helpful with this - and got it fixed in a few simple steps.
1. Click on Macintosh HD on [...]
One of the main reasons I want to use my Apple isn’t simply as a media workstation, or to compose music - but to compose trailer music for film and advertising.
Film trailer music is some of the most exciting and invigorating music around - sharp orchestral and choral pieces, that I absolutely love.
I’ve always [...]
While I debug iSight, and have re-installed iMovie, I’m getting ready to download my recent holiday videos of Egypt onto my iMac.
However, I found I didn’t have a Firewire cable that appeared to fit - all I had was a USB Firewire.
Anyway, after Googling around it looks as though all I need is a 6 [...]
As a Windows user, I’ve become pretty dependent on some major short-cuts, such as for copy/paste, highlight all, undo and redo.
However, CTRL doesn’t work for these shortcuts on an Apple unless you configure them.
Simple solution, though - Apple use the CMD key instead.
On most Apple keywords I’m using (normal with lead and bluetooth) the [...]
I seem to be having problems with my the iSight camera built into the iMac not being picked up in iMovie.
The iSight forums on the Apple support forums seems to contain a number of complaints about the issue relating to both iMac and Macbooks.
While there is a troubleshooting FAQ for iSight, so far there does [...]
Windows users new to a Mac can easily be disconcerted by Apple mice - right click does not seem to have been a standard need for legacy Apple users.
The Apple Mighty Mouse is supposed to address this by offering a four-button interface (if you count the scroll button), but it is designed to look like [...]
If like me you bought a 24″ screen with your iMac, you’ve probably noticed how it tries to burn out your eyes.
The monitor is very bright, but unfortunately using your keyword shortcut or using your monitor settings in Utilities will not result in the brightness being reduced very far.
It seems to be a bug in [...]
