what is the best way to compress a song

what is the best way to compress a song

2005-04-12 by garygenn

I ran into a situation last night where i had to send a song I worte for a visual poetry piece. 
I did part of it in logic and moved it to live where i rendered it. when it was all said and 
done the file (1 was .aiff,another i tried .quciktime) was over the size my isp would except. 
. So i basically just went and gave her a loop of it to preview. 

So what is the best way to save or compress a file to send to someone. i have access to 
LP7,itunes,Live 4,recycle,etc. Iwas thinking of the itunes  where you can imoprt as a file 
type. is that what i should have done? or is there another way? any help is appreciated.

If the receiver is supposed to load the song together with a quicktime 
movie into Logic on a Mac, then send the files you are already talking 
about: Logic .lso song file, aif files used by the song, quicktime 
files used by the song. But put it on a cd and send it with snail mail. 
(or make a zip archive and upload to a server for her to download, if 
you have that option is available)

If you only need to let her listen to the music, bounce a part to disc 
from Logic as an mp3 file.

Or if you know she will listen on a Mac, as an AAC file, because that 
will make for a smaller file size.

Hi,

I guess you also own Logic, since you're posting here? Then you must 
have that excellent little "Getting Started" book that comes with it. 
It explains the basics in an easy way and will get you going in a 
couple of hours.

Per!

	That is no problem.  That is what I used first to listen to this
signal (Logic) and that is easy.  What I am doing is routing the
audio out of an XM radio into the audio in on the Mac G5.
All I want to do is hear the audio With Out bringing up Logic
etc.

Any Help??

Ahh, I see. I.e. using the G5 as an amplifier? I'm afraid I don't know 
how to do that without using some audio application.

Thanks Per:

	Seems kind of odd to me?!?  But for the life of me I could
find no way to do it.  I am using Garage Band - just because
it loads faster.  But you are right - Logic works fine.  Just seems
like overkill, just to get the audio input sent over to the audio
output - LOL!

Thanks again

[L-OT] OS X for G3?

2005-05-06 by Doug Slick

Hi All,

	I'm running an old Mac G3.  The beige variety.  I'm told that 
it will support an early version of OSX.  Does anyone have particular 
knowledge of which version I should look for?

	I've also heard that it won't run OSX at all...

	Thanks.

I'm running OS X 10.2.8 on a PB G3 Wall Street, the first of those 
pretty round ones.

So I think that should work with yours too.
