Heh Rounik, Well:) I hope you're happy:) You've helped me out again:) heehee:) Thanks for the help regarding the step sequencer in Ultrabeat. I forgot to turn the sequence OFF! Thanks again. Having so much PHun with Logic:) I'm sure you'll hear from me again very soon:) Jodie

Hello everyone. Can someone tell me how to read the channel strip dB readings in the inspector:) I'm watching the Core Logic Pro 8 DVD tutorial, and Martin says that when the level fader is set at 0.00dB and the clip indicator is at 5.0dB, for example, he says that it is read as MINUS 5.0dB. Can someone tell me why it is read as MINUS? Also, when the clip indicator is at -5.0dB, it is read as MINUS 5.0dB. Can someone explain all this? Thanks. Jodie

Hi Christian, How are you? I keep getting the same message that md said, SYSTEM OVERLOAD, and I really don't understand the I/O Buffer that you're talking about. Currently, mine is set at 256. Should I go higher or lower? Also, what does the I/O Safety Buffer switch do? Thanks. Jodie

Hi again Rounik, How ya doin? I have a MAC OS X Version 10.5.2 / Processor 2.2 GHz / Memory 1 GB. OK, I understand the I/O Buffer details. I guess I should try from 256 to 512 first, and then if the problem is still there, try 1024? Thanks as always. Jodie p.s. Sorry for asking all these questions:( I'm a drummer trying to figure out this high-tech stuff:)

Hi Christian, Thanks for the advice. Now, is 256 a low I/O Buffer size to turn the I/O Safety Buffer off? I am at 256 now with it off and having that problem. Thanks. Jodie

Heh Rounik, What's up? Yeah, my guitar player told me that I NEED 7200 rpm HD. That's probably the reason why, eh! I'll also check the bluetooth now. Thanks. Jodie p.s. Where do you live anyway? London?

Heh Rounik, OK, I'll check the energy savings options as well. Thanks. I live in Kyoto. Have you ever been to Japan? It's a beautiful country with a rich history and culture:) Kyoto especially:) Ja ne (pronounced JAW NAY = See ya) Jodie

Hello again everyone:) Yet another question from me:) I understand that the SMPTE involves the current position of the playhead in hours, seconds, minutes, frames, etc., but what does the actual "SMPTE" stand for? Also, has anyone ever used or is using the free Soundflower audio interface that Martin used in his Core Logic Pro 8 tutorial? If so, how is it? I'm currently using an M-Audio MobilePreUSB audio interface and am just wondering what Soundflower is. Thanks again. Jodie (Logic Pro 8 PRO wannabe):)

Heh Rounik, Well, I must say this, "you are PUNCTUAL":) hahahahaha:) What time is it there? It's Wed. night around 8:40pm here. OK, thanks for that abbrev. Where in the manual did you see that? Oh shoot man, I just went to the glossary in the manual! DUH! Thanks though:) Jodie p.s. I'll check out that link now, too. Thanks:)

OK you're about 10 hours behind here. Have a good lunch. When you say time for training, what exactly do you mean? Are you employed by macProvideo? Jodie
