Hey, I have a few questions regarding recording interface and mics. All I want to be able to record is my guitar and voice at the same time and also separately. This is what I am looking at getting and I was just wondering on your opinions.
If it's an electric guitar and you want to plugit in directly then you are OK. But I'd go for an interface with two phantom powered XLR mic inputs then you can mic a guitar speaker cab or mic an acoustic guitar.
I like the Presonsus "audio box" but any good brand with specs like that will work.
One thing I look for is that the audio interface work on the Mac with no drivers to install. This way you never have to wait and hope that new drivers are available after an OS upgrade. Devices that are "class compliant" don't need drivers, other then those built into Mac OS.
Bottom line is you need to keep your options open on how to record the guitar and for different kinds of guitar like acoustic, acoustic with pickup, electric with direct plug in and a mic'd speaker. Until you've tried you don't know what you will like best. As an example, I'm building a speaker dummy load/simulator that will have an XLR line out. This will (I hope) capture the amp's tone (but not the speaker's tone) without need of a microphone -- it's good to try stuff.
As for a good vocal mic. Looks like you have the right kind, but the brand is a personal preference thing

The last 4 or 5 new shows on Comedy Central are all completely pathetic. They are poorly written, and just plain not funny. This includes Too Late with Adam Carolla, that D. L. Hughley show (whatever the **** it's called), Mind Of Mencia (except maybe one or two skits), that Andy Milonakis ********... you get the idea.
Anyone feel the same way I do?
I DO! god all those shows are so stupid...although andy milonakis is on MTV its just as bad...its not funny, its like tom green, but tom green was funnier mostly because no one had ever seen anything like this before but now it is just played out...
Mind of Mencia is Comedy Central's try to bring back the Chapelles show (which is genius) and it just doesn't work...I am sick of "Race Shows" that base all of their jokes off of race...its not funny anymore, any REAL comedian that you see at a stand up club can make an hour of comdey and use very little race jokes, why can't tv do this....i can't stand those shows and someone at CC needs to use some creativity and come up with something new

The iMac is going to be faster than the MacPro. Which I think is pretty sad. The MacPro will give you more expansion opportunities, but if you don't need them it's a moot point. You could throw on a Promise RAID hooked into Thunderbolt and get extremely fast transfer speeds. I would get the iMac and start saving for the next major upgrade in the MacPro line. I wouldn't buy any current Mac that didn't have Thunderbolt.
Not only will the iMac be faster, but it will also use a heck of a lot less electricity. A MacPro along with a monitor will draw 1,300-1,500 watts running hard. Think a small space heater on high. An iMac about 200-250 watts. Maybe you don't pay for the electricity, but the MacPro is a very power hungry beast.

Just arrived and by best guess there are around 75 people so far. I am sure there is plenty and waiting here is pretty silly but nothing else goin on today so what the hell. Least I have a good chance of getting something I want rather than having to up or downgrade my choice. T-minus 4 hours.

Without looking at the code, the error message should tell you what's wrong. I've hilited the significant part in bold:
2011-04-10 22:49:45.657 ForoTest[219:207] -[UIViewController showNextView]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x4b38630
2011-04-10 22:49:45.735 ForoTest[219:207] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[UIViewController showNextView]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x4b38630'
It's sending a showNextView message to a UIViewController instance.
Your first post said the method was in your app delegate, not a UIViewController, so check your source first. When I look at the source, I see showNextView in ForoTestViewController, not the app delegate like you said.
I also advise you to check your classes in the nib, to make sure a ForoTestViewController is being instantiated.
It's unclear how you made the non-working Xcode 4 project. If you started with the known-working project, then you probably just broke a connection or misconnected something. If you recreated it entirely from scratch, then there's no easy way of knowing what mistakes you might have made. I'm pretty sure Xcode 4 can open Xcode 3 projects, so I don't know why you'd want to start over.

Well, it's mostly games, which is a pity. I know it's not a gaming laptop but they do sell them through Steam, so I'd like to buy them.
The way you say it, it seems related to the extra power provided by the SB processor. So there seem to be three solutions.
1. Undervolting, which isn't possible right now.
2. Downgrading, and, as in the MacBook Air, fixing another kind of bottleneck (HD operation).
3. Better cooling through termal paste, more fans, cooling pad, etc.
Am I right here? I'd like to know more about this CPU+GPU combo in the same core, because I read it lead to further heating. Is there any truth to this?
Just because it's on steam doesn't mean you need to buy the game... Furthermore, like with Windows, you need to see if the requirements match your system or it'll run poorly.
Under volt is possible. It's pointless though especially if you're stressing the system then the fan will come on or your system will shut down
Downgrade is up to you. But any system, you stress it, fans will come on
Cooling pad just adds to the noise. You can attempt a thermal paste change but like I said, games will cause the system to run fans at max to keep it a good temperature.
It's not so much of a CPU + GPU combo, it's the heat generated by both parts of the die concentrated on a single heatsink. To be honest the older systems genereated about the same amount of wattage wasted in heat so it's not too big of a difference

The problem isn't necessarily a mac driver, but Apple's Acceleration Curve. It works perfectly with Apple Mice, but not so much with other's. Now assuming that your issue is tracking issue and not customizable buttons, then my solution will work for you. Download USB overdrive and install it. If I remember correctly, you will have to restart your mac after installation. Now their is a free and a paid version, the free will work just fine. After installation, you can change the settings under system preferences -> USB Overdrive.
In the picture below, you will see two sliders. I find it helpful to have the top slider near the far right, and the bottom slider near the far left. I believe I also set the mouse speed (found in the normal mouse settings) around the middle, but you can set it anywhere.
As far as mice with mac drivers, I recently purchased the Logitech wireless m510. I am normally picky when it come to mice, but I do enjoy using it. After installing the logitech driver and uninstalling USB Overdrive, the mice works nicely. I've only had it for a few days, but I love it.
Thanks much; I will download and try it out shortly!

G5 Powerbooks aren't coming out time soon, while the heat output of the 970 has been somewhat alleviated by the 970FX, the system controller chip still produces a large amount of heat; removing it or using one operating a lower speed would defeat the point of using a 970 anyway. I expect the G4 powerbooks to hit 1.5 Ghz before the switch to the G5.

My 3G S iPhone died and I ended up replacing it with the iPhone 4.
When I was at the Apple Store the sales person brought up the two current AT&T iPhone data plans--my $30 unlimited iPhone Data plan was the other option.
The salesperson asked me if I wanted to change my data plan or if I wanted to continue with the unlimited plan.
I continued with my unlimited plan. I was also worried that they would have downgrade me to one of the capped iPhone data plans-glad that wasn't the case.

On iTunes, using the search function in iMix and here's my dilemna. Always wanted a search to find an iMix, and now that I can do that. i don't know what to search for. My first search for an iMix, I type the word "song".:confused:
What kind of songs are you looking for?
You could try searching for a genre (i.e., "rock" or "jazz") or searching for a theme (i.e., "driving music").

As for the $5000 model, I think that's ridiculous, considering you can get an extra 512MB from MacMall, I think.
From what I saw when I was shopping for my dual 867 a week or so ago, MacZone has the best deal.

and way into high posting, one can be a 601 at 5,000 posts
i don't know what the next level will be or at how many posts
it could be the 602, which was not a widely used processor, or the more common 603...but then i wonder if the 603e will be another level or if arn decides the person is a 604...of course, there was the 604e after that
and after the 6xx levels, there is the G3, G4, and G5 and it's a mystery where those sit at
and is there a G6??

I've had a similar experience on several occasions, most recently today. I have my inbox sorted by date received, with newest mail at the top, but for some reason new mail (received 'Today') will be at the bottom. Mail received 'Yesterday' will be at the top.
My message counter (in the dock icon) will indicate new mail, but when I look for it (at the top of my date-sorted list), it won't be there. I have to scroll down to the bottom of the list, and there, below the oldest of my already-read e-mails, is my new mail.
I've had the same issue in Mail countless times. I hope this bug is fixed in Tiger. :rolleyes:

SSD's a very useful. The previous post is a good idea. If your strapped for cash, you can get a 30GB SSD and do what the previous poster suggested.
It's really a very useful upgrade, and can be done on a shoestring.
Note: Apple themselves are moving to Solid state. I wouldn't be surprised if the next round of machines will all have dedicated flash Boot partitions separate from the main HD options. (just a guess).
