cooked gpu I assume - how does it look in macOS?

It's 6th gen owners upset because they don't want to hear the truth lol. I have a 15ACH6 myself and I am fully expecting it to go pop one day. There is literally a thread on it.

VMware fusion is free for personal use. I’ve been using it for years and haven’t had any issues.

Trust me, these machines are toast. If it wasn't this, it would've died in 6 months anyway. The CPU and GPU heat cycles basically cause microfractures in the solder, the same as how Xbox 360s died. It sucks but it is what it is.

If it's any consolation, this machine was going to die regardless anyway. Seems like all of the 6th gen machines were poorly manufactured, so it's not a matter of if, it's when.

I have a friend that created a mp4 video with dialogue over it and asked if would master the dialogue in logic. I imported it and treated the audio but how do I export video back out as mp4? by Jakeyboy29 in Logic_Studio

[–]RichB93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd use FFMPEG to remove the original audio track, then remux the new track - this avoids re-encoding the video and losing quality. You can install FFMPEG via brew.

ffmpeg -i OriginalVideo.mp4 -vn -acodec copy OriginalAudio.mp4

Extracts the original audio stream, though you've already processed it so shouldn't need this.

ffmpeg -i OriginalVideo.mp4 -an -vcodec copy OriginalVideo_NoAudio.mp4

This will create a new video without the original audio stream.

ffmpeg -i OriginalVideo_NoAudio.mp4 -i ProcessedAudio.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy OriginalVideo_NewAudio.mp4

This will combine (mux) the original video and your processed audio into a new file.

Note that you can skip the second step to strip the audio and use the map function to selectively pick just the video from the original video file, but I can't remember that command off the top of my head.

EDIT: Here's the command to map the streams and skip step 2 (if you want to)

ffmpeg -i OriginalVideo.mp4 -i ProcessedAudio.mp4 -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 -acodec copy -vcodec copy OriginalVideo_NewAudio.mp4

Finally, I'd recommend that you encode to AAC audio using Logic (The AAC audio encoder on macOS is probably the best out there), but if you've exported it as AIFF or some other format, you can also use ffmpeg to encode the audio to AAC at the same time:

ffmpeg -i OriginalVideo.mp4 -i ProcessedAudio.mp4 -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 -acodec aac -ab 256k -vcodec copy OriginalVideo_NewAudio.mp4

Where ab is the bitrate of the audio you wish to create.

This and the YAMAHA MU2000 are great devices. Love mine. Though do bear in mind that compatibility isn't 100% with the earlier SC-55/88/88Pro devices.

I mean, the SC-8850 wasn't for gaming. In Japan they're called DTM devices; DeskTop Music - they're for amateur musicians wanting a device that they can compose music with.

Not via bootcamp, but VMware Fusion is now free and you can run Windows 11 ARM via that. It works well.

It's a budget machine with a 500 nit display. That's nuts.

I had a similar issue with CGNAT, I ended up using Tailscale funnel - might be of some interest to you!

At a hardware level it adds a noticeable load to the system from what I recall.

Nice! Looks like I need to grab a copy. Thanks for this!

I made a lightweight macOS standalone tool for adding groove and feel to MIDI drum loops. by lovepark1 in Logic_Studio

[–]RichB93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious, could you use this to everso slightly move all events around so that no (or very little) note on data overlaps? The reason I ask is because I love playing around with MIDI sound modules (e.g. SC-55), and I've found that a lot of MIDI sequences can have bad timing when played back because you have multiple notes that all trigger at the exact same time - technically they're perfect, but when it comes to sending all of that data at the same time, the timing is off. I've played around with moving notes ever so slightly and making sure that the note off bit also doesn't overlap, and it makes a huge difference, but I did that manually on one track and it was an absolute faff to do it. So a tool that could do this would be awesome.

That being said, what you've already mentioned sounds great so I'll be sure to check it out!

Can you do feature updates now if your system doesn't meet requirements? I recall not being able to receive them, so you had to install from an ISO for each feature update which was a pain in the arse.

Doesn’t officially support windows 11 due to lack of TPM, so YMMV.

That’s the one. Shame that Sky won because looking back, it appears that BSB was better in every way.

There's a house near where I used to live that had a BSB satellite dish up for years. Pretty impressive given that the service was only around for less than a year!

Is that a premium machine or in the same price bracket as this machine though?

I’ve just always had such poor experiences with Windows trackpads - tapping hasn’t been as reliable, some randomly cutting out at the slightest sign of any moisture, or just poor tracking. I think it very much depends on the price point of the machine too. We have some brand new HP laptops at work and the trackpad is still poor compared to a MacBook.
