Re: My Wife's Kidney Story ABCNEWS 20/20 Fri Dec 12th 10pm EST

Great stuff! Thank you for sharing, Erik. Josh, I know a whole family (who happen to be very, very wealthy) with exactly that problem. They're convinced it just "runs in the family" and I've not been able to help them. They all smoke, drink heavily, eat a lot of meat, junk food and salt a...

Re: Volume Surge in DP 5.13 in Tiger

Got my LACIE SATA II Express Card 34 today. I did my best to keep my expectations LOW and so... I'm not disappointed, it doesn't seem to do diddly. Occasionally an Icon appears for the card in the upper right corner next to the airport indicator but it doesn't seem to noticed by the computer all the...

Re: Volume Surge in DP 5.13 in Tiger

Dynamix, as an option to solve your playback problems you might consider a eSATA external drive with the eSATA Express card like this: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apiotek/EC0003D . You can easily connect two hard drives and free your FireWire port. The burst transfer rate of a modern 7200RPM har...

Re: Volume Surge in DP 5.13 in Tiger

Cripes, OK I think the playback problems may simply be solved by purchasing a new drive. I originally misunderestimated (that's a real word, I swear, I heard the President use it) the size of my little portable external with which I run my VI samples and general audio from. I thought it was 500 GB, ...

Re: Volume Surge in DP 5.13 in Tiger

OK well Volume Surge ASIDE... Here's one thing that I've determined seems to be hanging up my playback intermittently. I've been running this setup on the laptop pretty well with a single 200 GB LaCie 7200 RPM Firewire 800 drive. Sample libraries and audio go to the external drive. Applications and ...

Re: Volume Surge in DP 5.13 in Tiger

DAN YOU"VE VISITED ME IN MY PADDED CELL!!! :lol: I think that part of my troubles might be due to a sync feedback loop, I musta not noticed I hit that on the numerical pad. Since shutting off, I've been psycho cursor intermittent bouncing note freak out free, haven't checked the chunk with the ...

Re: Volume Surge in DP 5.13 in Tiger

I STAND CORRECTED, I thought I had two tracks feeding the same channel, but no, two tracks feeding two different channels to the Kontakt Player feeding two instances of the same instrument. So they were just the same VI doubled to play alternating parts to sound like one. Sigh, I've got 4 Kontakt Pl...

Re: Volume Surge in DP 5.13 in Tiger

Well I merged the alternating tracks playing to the same MIDI channel VI and it still was a problem, I froze that section and then deleted the actual MIDI information and well at least for the moment it seems under control... I'm moving on until this sucker rears its ugly head again. I dunno maybe a...

Re: Volume Surge in DP 5.13 in Tiger

Thanks Frodo, I will try this stuff, but have to resist my control freak, OCD "gosh I can't go on until I solve this thing" and move on least I miss my deadline. This is happening on my MacBook Pro listed in my profile. I would like to also add that as a part of this, suddenly notes are ac...

Re: Volume Surge in DP 5.13 in Tiger

Thanks Frodo, Yea this is definitely a repeatable issue. Even restarting won't make it stop. Unfortunately, it also was occurring on one of my least loved compositions for this project and so, listening over and over looking for some accidentally placed automation, urrgh... Then I realized, this is ...

Volume Surge in DP 5.13 in Tiger

Man, I never experienced this, but 6 seconds into the track from anywhere I start there is a momentary surge in the MIDI instrument volume. Cripes, so annoying, I cloned the chunk and the new chunk seemed OK but the second I started editing the MIDI data it was right back. Gasp, this is hugely rotte...
