This is a niche area, so I can appreciate how utterly useless this might seem.
The delivery format fro large multi-channel projects should not be viewed in the same way as media for commercial audiences, there is no wrapper, configured for a specific commercial playback device, in this scenario the DAW is used both for production and playback purposes (though the guy on the acousmodule site seems to be suggesting that 17.1 on a standard DVD is exploitable, for up to 18 discrete channels, but I know nothing about that issue). Obviously, the exception to this is that Blue Ray can function as a wrapper for 8 channel music works.
Generally, if a composer is working on a large multi-channel project they have the required numbers of speakers available to them while realising the work.
There are a number of studios, and perfomance spaces, that can accommodate this type of production, most are in academic institutions, but some fortunate individuals have their own multi speaker installations (I'm not one of them).
When completed, the artist will downmix from the main output bus, as with any other project, and will simply deliver the files as individual mono tracks.
The playback setting will normally be a concert presentation, such as an electroacoustic music festival or conference etc. and the files will simply be played back using any DAW, with the required number of tracks, routed to the required number of outputs, but correpsonding to the speaker template specified by the composer (mirroring the one that the work was originally composed for).
Note that if the artist is working with a tool such as the acousmodule Spatsurround H32, we are dealing with a situation where one stereo source is being panned across 32 outputs, this would be impossible in Nuendo using the current bussing architecture.
Note also that if one was to try and decode an ambisonic file for playback using a 24 speaker cube (to create a 3D emmersive audio environment), using a VST based decoder, it would again not be possible using Nuendo becasue of the 12 channel limitation.
Speaking of which, how about providing some ambisonic tools as standard? that would be a good example of foresight, or maybe not, depending on who you talk to.
The implementation of bus customisation must be possible, but relative to the amount of users that would exploit such functionality, I imagine it really is a useless suggestion.
Sirs,
pls sirs need advice, my laptop emachine m5305 laptop froze while it was flashing kbc update, i waited for 30min but did not stop responded, so i pressed the power but wouldnt turn off, i decided to remove the battery, it turned off but was dead afterwards. no power, leds dont light, battery and ac dont work. There were two bios file update, 1 was for the main bios, the other was called kbc3700.
Bios chip was socketed, so i had it reprogrammed to the original bios on a computer shop but it still doesnt power up.
could it be that my board went dead?
thanks,
bios file http://download.biosdriver.net/?id=27670&comp=Xerox%20Corp.&model=XRX4112_PCL64_5087.500.0.0_Eng.zip%205087.500.0.0
An alternative would be to see if the Intel Microcode Update Utility (Checkup6) is compatable with the existing BIOS. I have successfully used this utility to add microcode support to both Award and AMI bios that previously lacked them. The key is that the BIOS needs to already have CPUID support for a given type of CPU. CPUID support and microcode support for a particular stepping are two different issues. Be aware, however, since this is an OEM board with an OEM bios, that neither the Apple_Rom patcher or the update utility may work. At least, the Intel Update Utility will say that it is not compatable and will not even try to write to your BIOS.
Don't forget. Don't be stupid.
greetings:
OK, it's an old toy....1995 Mitac board residing in a compaq presario 7222 setup and has the vertical expansion card (2xPCI. 3xISA), 4 EDO slots, max processor of 166mhz and the BIOS is PL5600G R1.03, sound on board, graphics on board (a whopping 1MB of it!!).
BUT....i can't get into the BIOS, no matter what tricks i try. i've hit F10 (and all the other funky combinations, even though not applicable to this board - you never know!), pulled the keyboard out to force an error during POST, tried plugging it back in immediately after (tip from another site), thrown it at the dog, and sill no joy. i've reset the CMOS, hunted for special bios access tools to no avail, checked the hp web site for flash upgrades etc etc (none available).....and so forth.
the box runs, but on POST i get 3 errors, namely regarding game/midi port conflicts and one other that i can't recall. essentially on boot, i get the COMPAQ PRESARIO logo on the right hand side, soon after which the thing spends the next minute or so counting the memory (all 131MB of it - if i'm around, i naturally Esc). when it's happy, we get the error messages as noted above, it accesses the scuzzy card (Adaptec 2940uw) and loads this bios before taking me off to the operating system - namely win98. i'm not running any IDE gear. incidentally, the POST doesn't tell me anything about the BIOS whatsoever: no version number, date, mfr. - nowt. it's almost as if it doesn't exist.
now, the real pain i have is that being unable to access the BIOS, my sound card isn't too happy loading it's drivers (i believe this to be related to conflicts in the BIOS flagged during POST), but i get it working again by re-installing them and doing a warm boot. furthermore, after about 15 mins of inactivity, the box puts itself into STANDBY mode!! i can't change this and presume it's a BIOS setting (no, it's not a win98 setting!)?
i've never been able to access the BIOS since getting the toy from a woman who doesn't know a PCB from a floppy disk....so that's a dead end!
is there a jumper somewhere that should be made, or broken, to access the BIOS? i was wondering if this was a kind of mobo lock to stop johnny from tampering externally once-upon-a-time. is it possible the chip has taken a hit from a virus? would a new chip help (assuming i have the energy to track one down)?
i really want this thing going, as i've spent some significant amounts of time setting the box up...with parts etc, as well as being entertained in trying to solve this BIOS issue (like....days!). it's currently being used as a music sequencer hooked into some other hardware - i don't want to abandon it now!!
any help that points me to a successful conclusion is grately appreciated. game on?
thanx for reading.
