The Logic Off Topic list

Hi,

Is there any way to have the finder sort items by filetype? Couldn't find
anything.
I actually somewhat find the default behaviour of everything being sorted by
name useless.

Forgive me if this is a newbie question - but then, I AM new to OSX.

Thanks,
Sascha

Try using List View for the window. Select "as List" from the View menu.
In the window, one of the columns is called "Kind" (you might need to 
make the window wider to see it. Click on "Kind" to sort by that 
column. Click it again to switch between acending/descending order. Yo 
can also grab the column with the mouse and drag it to change the order 
of the columns.

You can also activate other columns in List View by selecting "Show 
View Options" from the View menu.

This article has a quick overview.

No forgiveness required, we were all newbies once. Just some newbies 
are older than others. ;-)

Like before (in OS 9) you have the list view, it's a button in the 
toolbar of the finder window, assuming that you have that grey 
toolbar switched on (klick the little lentil on the top right of the 
window), or you can of course access it from the View Menu or by 
pressing apple + 2.

This you can then sort by kind.

I don't know if you can set the sorting by kind for the coloum view, 
although I agree that would sometimes be a handy feature.

Cheers

Hello,

I'm putting the finishing touches on my new CD and am facing a problem.  I
know there are some pro's here, so hopefully you folks can offer a few
suggestions.

As i am mastering my new CD, i am having considerable difficulty getting an
overall level balance between the songs.  Some of the songs rely heavily on
distortion, while others are mellower and smoother.  Even though the songs
have the same mathematical volume, to my ears the noisy/vile ones seem far
louder.

I know i could just decrease the final volume of the noisy songs to even
things up, but this throws off the level of the drums between songs.  I want
to maintain a consistent rhythm section from start to finish.  The mellow
songs still contain heavy percussion elements that must match the noisy
ones.  They only seem quieter because they lack the aggressive distortion.

This may be a basic question to most of you.  I apologize in advance.  If
anyone can spare the time to give me some tips, i'd be most appreciative.

I'm running LogicPro 6.4.2, OSX 10.2.6, and am primarily using PSP Vintage
Warmer in the final stages.

Thanks,
Jon Zaremba
