One of Live's most powerful and innovative features is Live Racks. Which allows you to save multiple effects or instrument devices as a single preset. Let's take a look at how they work. So a Live Rack can contain an audio effect, MIDI effect, instrument devices, or any combination of the above. Now let's start by taking a look at audio effects racks. So I've got a kick clip on this first track and I want to add some EQ in compression. So let's go into the audio effects area and I'm going to drop down and grab a EQ8.
Put that in the device chain and let me get a compressor to and I'm going to go in and get the preset this for kick, and I'll drop that down there as well. Now if I shift-click the Title bar on the EQ, I get them both selected, I can create a group or a rack by right-clicking on either of the devices. And choosing Groove from the Contextual menu. Now once I do that I want you to notice that we get these brackets on either side. So we see it here on the left. If I hold down Cmd+Option, that would be Ctrl+Alt on a PC, I can pan this over. And I can see the rounded edges on the bracket on the right-hand side. Let's go back over to the beginning.
In addition to the brackets, I also get some additional buttons. And if I click on this first one, this show and hides the macro, and this is a device where I can map controls from any of the devices onto these knobs for adjustment. We'll talk about that in an upcoming movie. I also get a chain list which shows me how many chains I've got, and right now I've only got one. And that means that these two effects that I've added here are actually being processed in series. Meaning that the signal is going to come through the EQ, and then go into the kick compressor.
Let me close that for the time being. And I'm just going to make some basic settings that I might make on any old kick. Which would be probably to reduce a little bit of the lower mid range around maybe 200 to 250 hertz. Tighten the queue a little bit, add a little bit of a bump to get the snap on the kick there around 2K. Once I've got the settings made, if I don't want to actually see the entire device, I can double-click on its Title bar to minimize it. And that's all the space it takes up. Now, let's hear what that sounds like.
(music playing) So, I might go back in and make some more changes, but if I'm happy with the way that sounds, I might want to save this for use in a later session. So, let me open up my user library. And one of the things that I can do is just grab the Title bar on the rack, which at this minimized state is going to be the bracket on the left-hand side. And drag it up into the presets folder. And now I can call this something like Drum EQ and Compression, and save that.
So for example, if I come back to another set and want to use that, I can just grab the preset and drag and drop that on another track as I'm doing here. On this kick two track which is a similar track. And then I can double-click the title bars of any of these effects to open them back up. If I need to make any more changes I can do that. But otherwise, I'm ready to go. We can also start with an empty rack and add devices into the rack itself. So let's move over to the roads track. Let's do that. So here we can see that I've got a MIDI instrument and this is preset of electric.
The electric piano software instrument that's available in Live Suite and I want to add a couple of audio effects to that. So, I'm going to up into the audio effects category and let me close all these, I'm going to press my left arrow and move up. And let's go up to the top now, and I'm going to grab this blank preset where it says Audio Effect Rack. I'm going to drop that over here after the virtual instrument. We can see the rounded edges of the rack, and what I'm going to do now is open up the Chain List, and I'm going to drop an effect there.
So, let's just grab the default chorus and drop that one. And then, I'm going to create a second chain here, and let's put default flanger on that one. I'm doing this because I want to demonstrate that not only can we run effects in series, but we can also run them in parallel. So, let me minimize this software instrument here by double-clicking on its Title bar. Or we can just look at the rack. So, now if I click the first chain we see the chorus and if I click the second chain we see the flanger and if I want I can add multiple effects in each one of these chains.
Now, let's start off, I'm going to rename these so I know what I'm looking at. So, I'll select the first chain and go Cmd+R. And I'm going to call that chorus. And let me choose the second one. And I'll call that flanger. And if I want I can set differing levels for the two presets. And I can also set different panning for that. So maybe if I wanted to pan one of these right and one of these left. I can do that. And let me play a cord and let's hear what that sounds like. Looks like I need to record enable a track. (music playing) So, you can hear the two different effects.
If you want to hear them separately, you can press the Solo button, and now I should just hear the chorus. (music playing) Just on the right side. Now let's check out the flanger. (music playing) And that one is just on the left side. And as I said, if we want to balance that a little bit, we can do that. Now, I'm going to get out of that track and go to the next one and I'll record enable that, because I've tricked this one out a little bit. I've actually got five effects on here, and I've named them phaser, eq, and so and so forth. And then the last one, I want to show you that I actually took a second audio effect rack and I dropped it in the chain list which gave me a nested rack. And then inside that rack I actually put three chorus devices and then I set up slightly different settings for each one of those. And then I pan those right center and left.
So let me solo that just to start off, so you can hear how rich the sound I was able to create there. (audio playing) Subtle, but yet I got differing things going on, on left and right. So it's a really nice way to work. So I did this because I wanted to show you one more thing that we get in an audio effect rack. And that's this little button up here that says chain. So I'm going to click on that. And this opens up this little area here. And this shows me MIDI values from zero to 127. And what I can do is I can set up different areas where the different effects will be active.
So I'm going to start by grabbing this little bar graph, it's really hard to see there on the left-hand side, and I'm going to move my cursor until I see the trim. And I'm going to pull that all the way across. Now I'm doing that because when you have one of those bar graphs going all the way across, you can actually right-click on it. And you can choose this option, Distribute Ranges Equally, from the Contextual menu. And so now I see that I've got an area from zero to 24 that is going to be the phaser, and from 24 up to 48 the EQ, and so on and so forth. So now, I'll grab this little marker up here at the top, and if it's anywhere in this range we'll hear the phaser.
(music playing) If I pull it over here, we're going to hear the EQ that I set up (music playing). Over here, I'm going to hear the auto-pan (music playing), and over here the delay (music playing) , and last, I'll hear the chorus (music playing) . Now, if you want, you could overlap these areas, and then add a cross fade. So, what I'm going to start off by doing, is I'm going to shift-click the top four devices there. And then, I'm going to move my cursor to the edge of one of those bar graphs and click and drag, and you'll notice that the selected items are all increasing their range.
And then I'll go to the little bar graph that's on the top and I'm going to pull that over so that I can actually cross fade that. Then I'll select the bottom four and I'm going to grab the little cross fade bar graph on the left-hand side and pull that over. And as you can see, I've set up crossfades between the different devices. So, now if I grab the little chain activator, and put it over here on the bottom, I should just hear phaser. And if I put it here in between those two where the crossfade is, I should hear both of those.
(audio playing) Again if I move it over there. (audio playing) I'm hearing multiple effects. That's kind of cool but you might ask, well how would you actually use that? I'm going to go up here onto the clip that I've got. And let me double-click that so I can move over and actually see that. And I'm going to activate the show or hide envelope button and because I had clicked that chain selector, it's actually showing here in the envelope chooser.
And now if I scroll up and down we will see that I have got from zero to a 127. And now if I draw in any clip automation I could actually set it to change from effect to effect as this clip plays. So let me activate my Pencil tool, and and I'll draw in a little bit that's going to activate just the phaser, and then let's pull this up. I want to make sure that I get into the next one for the next chord. And move that over, and then I'll go to the next chord and move that even higher. And then on the last one, I'll move that way up. Now, let's just play the clip and let's see what that sounds like as it changes effects.
(audio playing) As you can see, that might be really useful as you're trying to change effects in the middle of a set. And also in Live performance if you've got a roads patch that you want to use and you want to have several different effects. You can assign that chain selector to one of your knobs and you'll be able to change effects by simply dialing that in the middle of playing. I'm guessing that like my first experience with racks, this discussion got your attention. Not only can you save multiple effects as a rack for use in another set. But you can set them up in series, in parallel, or a combination of the two. All which allows you to shape a track exactly the way you want.

Alex Premat confident a new teammate and new car will see him racing near the front of the V8 field
- From: SPEED
- February 11, 2013
Alex Premat is hoping a good working relationship with his new teammate will help him net him the title of the first full-time international driver to win a V8 Supercars race.
The Frenchman endured a troubled debut year in the category but showed signs of progress towards the end of the year, culminating in a strong Saturday performance at the season-ending Telstra Sydney 500 at Sydney Olympic Park.
After 12 months of learning a new team, a new car, new tracks, new drivers and a new country, Premat believes the arrival of the Car of the Future will only help he and GRM move to the front of the field.
"Everyone has to learn again - even the race formats are changing - so everyone will have to learn everything like me," the 30-year-old said. "We will be in the same stage instead of last year where everything was new [to me]."
Premat will be working with a new teammate this year, with the departing Michael Caruso replaced by young Kiwi teen Scott McLaughlin.
The reigning Dunlop Series champion actually has more years of V8 Supercars experience than the well-travelled Frenchman but, despite the differences in their age and background, Premat said their relationship is already on a solid footing.
"Our relationship started very good last year because he was a Fujitsu driver," Premat said. "I met him at press conferences and stuff like this with Fujitsu last year and it was a very good feeling straight away.
"With Michael [Caruso] last year we were not sharing everything, so it was not working as a team. It was more like two teams within the team, so it was really bad last year.
"This year we just try to keep our focus to work on both cars, the same team all together to bring the two cars up to speed and the team to the top as well, so this is our target."
Car of the Future: The changes
It took until January for Premat to be confirmed at GRM; despite the existence of a three-year contract, 2012's struggles meant that a second year in V8 Supercars was no guarantee.
But despite the dramas of 2012, including being benched for the Gold Coast 600, Premat doesn't feel like he is under any additional pressure ahead of what could be a make-or-break season.
"Not really, I don't feel any pressure. Even last year I wasn't feeling any pressure. I repeated so many times to all of these people that when you are coming to a new country, new car, new tracks, new tyres, new philosophy of racing, everything was completely, completely different to Europe or America, what I'd learnt.
"I had to reset my mind to think differently and ... it's been really hard. [But] I showed that last year I progressed round after round, like in Winton, Abu Dhabi, or Sydney, I showed that I was good if the car was good.
"It's not about my driving style, or that I'm too old, or that I'm too lazy, or because my crash at Adria in the DTM, that I've lost confidence or all these things. It's not about this. It's just to get the good tools, and then we'll be there, absolutely."
GRM will test the new VF Commodore V8 Supercar for the first time at Winton on Tuesday. It will be one of just a few opportunities for the team to get on top of the new Car of the Future ahead of the first race of the season at the Clipsal 500 at the start of March.
But with the new car resetting the form-guide, Premat believes that the team is capable of giving the V8 establishment a shake-up, and that he and the team can prove all of last year's knockers wrong with a trip to the top of the podium.
"This is my aim, to win in the V8s, to be the first European or international driver, full-season, to win a race.
"If I can bring a trophy to GRM that would be awesome. This is our target, this will always be our target. I will try my best to do that, but first we need to be focused on what we do, produce a better car and better tools, be competitive every race.
"I would like to [finish] every race in the top 10. It would be amazing to do that every weekend, and if we can achieve better, we achieve better.
"If we do really good work in the tests, at Winton and Eastern Creek the next two weeks before Adelaide ... I believe and the team really believes that if we continue like this we can be in the top five if the car is perfect."
Fans of the fast Frenchman will also be pleased to know he has invested in a new cool suit for 2013, after a failure in Sydney last year forced him to retire with extreme heat exhaustion.
"I went to RPM in Dandenong to buy a new cool suit, and when he saw mine he said, 'oh, s*** yeah, I can understand why you were so suffering and dehydration in Sydney, because your suit was really hot, and not as good as the one you buy now!'
"Since I came back to Australia just after New Year's, every day I'm doing lots of training. I'm doing like 150 kilometres with a mountain bike, then running, four-five-six hours of coaching every week.
"In Adelaide I will be fit, ready, and my target is to shine. To win the first race would be awesome, but it will be a miracle. We will all start with the new car, so hopefully we have the tools here to do that."
See the new-generation V8 Supercars on track for the first time this year at the Official V8 Supercars Test Day at Sydney Motorsport Park, Saturday 16 February.

Congenital mechanical obstruction of the bowels not due to a developmental defect is so rare a condition that the following case seems worth reporting.
Baby, male, 4 days old, first child, normal delivery, no bowel movement since birth. There had been no stain of meconium on the diapers, which had been observed carefully. Micturition was normal. On the second day the baby vomited a small amount of dark yellow material, rather suggestive of meconium. A second vomiting occurred on the third day, but not on the fourth, although the baby had nursed at four-hour intervals during the day. On the fourth day the abdomen was quite markedly distended and tense, so that no mass could be felt, although there seemed to be rather more resistance on the right side. There was slight dulness in the flanks, especially the right. Visible peristalsis was distinct and continuous. There was no intermittent crying

HANNA, Wyo. - The burly, tattooed high school mascot wears a helmet and wields a pick. Monster trucks compete during King Coal Days. A ramshackle diner serves Coal Miner burgers with greasy fries down by the tracks.
Born of the black rock over a century ago, this town of about 1,000 in south-central Wyoming could die by it now that the state's last underground coal mine is closing.
Plenty of coal remains. But extracting it from underground mines is three times more expensive than scraping it from the surface.
Two hundred miles northeast of Hanna, football field-length draglines and house-sized dump trucks extract coal from vast surface mines that have made Wyoming the leading coal state. The mines have been undercutting prices, putting underground mines like Hanna's out of business.
"It still comes down to what it costs to produce it and what you get for it, and it's just more expensive to mine underground. That's all there is to it," said Don Warfield, spokesman for the Wyoming Coal Information Committee.
In Hanna, the economic reality is that nearly one out of every 10 residents will lose their jobs. To make matters worse, Hanna's other coal mine is expected to close next year, costing 52 more jobs.
Talk in Hanna is anxious, speculative: A new mine might open nearby, maybe something could spur coal prices from record lows and make it profitable to keep mining, or maybe some other type of business will come along.
The town has few prospects this time. The nation's economic boom has zipped past Wyoming.
Hanna's RAG Shoshone underground mine was able to compete longer than most because of a large and complex piece of equipment called a longwall, which efficiently cuts away coal by running back and forth along the coal seam the way some people eat corn on the cob.
But mining there will cease this week. Work dismantling the longwall and removing other equipment is expected to keep miners employed through Aug. 31, when the mine will officially close.
Even at Hanna's other mine, the Seminoe II surface operation, costs are higher than in northeast Wyoming.
The town has no other major or even medium-sized employers.
Weston Munns is being laid off for a second time. He helped build the Shoshone mine in 1979 and was put out of work when the mine closed in 1986. Another company bought and reopened the mine a year later.
Munns' wife Dawn, a 30-year Hanna resident, said they will remain in town through the mine closing and take things from there.

Over the course of his four- decade career as a small-businessman, he's helped create thousands of jobs right here in Illinois. He knows firsthand how high taxes and burdensome regulations can prevent businesses from expanding and creating the new jobs we need, and he's committed to reforming Illinois government to help create a more growth-friendly environment.
A 69-year-old resident of Sugar Grove, Jim is a native and lifelong resident of the Fox Valley. He graduated from Marmion Military Academy before going on to earn a B.A. from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and, later, an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business.
After graduating from the University of Illinois, he took his first job as a math and science teacher at Waldo Junior High School in Aurora. Soon thereafter, he launched a career in the financial services industry, eventually launching three no-load mutual funds. Today, Oberweis Asset Management manages approximately $2.5 billion in growth stock assets.
Jim also serves as the Chairman of Oberweis Dairy, a business founded by Jim's grandfather, Peter, who began delivering milk to his Aurora neighbors in 1915. Twenty-five years ago, Jim purchased the family business and developed and implemented a successful strategy for growth: Under Jim's leadership, the Dairy has grown from a small home delivery company with one ice cream store and 50 employees, to 41 ice cream stores with more than 1,200 employees. During that time frame, annual sales have increased more than ten-fold.
In both of these entrepreneurial ventures, Jim has learned first-hand the joys and struggles of the small-business owner, as he has gone about creating jobs, growing the economy, and ensuring that expenses don't run ahead of revenues.
Jim's life experiences have led him to be a common sense conservative: pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment, pro-tax cut, pro-spending cut, and pro-growth. Jim believes we must secure our borders and end illegal immigration. He is determined to cut the special-interest pork and end wasteful government spending, and will stand up for traditional cultural values.
Jim is well-known for his philanthropic endeavors. More than two decades ago, he established the Oberweis Foundation as a charitable trust created to help children and adults in difficult economic circumstances, such as those served by Hesed House Project Hood, and the Northern Illinois Food Bank, on whose Board of Directors Jim serves.
In addition, Jim serves as a member of the Board of Directors of The Oberweis Funds and formerly served on the board of Colborne Foodbotics and as Chairman of the Board of Diamond Marketing Solutions.
Jim is married, and his wife Julie works with him at Oberweis Dairy. He has five adult children, two stepchildren, and 20 grandchildren, most of whom call Illinois home.

Read an ExcerptHow to Be Evangelical without Being Conservative

Chapter One Being Biblical without Orthodoxy
Every year I take a class of students to visit an Eastern Orthodox worship service. We are mostly Baptists, so we sit, stand, observe, and listen, but we don't participate. That's because we're not Orthodox; even the priest of the Greek Orthodox church we visit lets us know in a most friendly way that, while we are welcome there, we are not there to partake of the Eucharist (Lord's Supper). We're not Orthodox or orthodox in their eyes. In fact, to them our churches are not even really churches; they are "religious clubs" or parachurch organizations. The priest is quick to explain that he doesn't mean we're not saved. That's God's business, and he assumes people who have repented and believed in Jesus Christ are saved, but the church of Jesus Christ is identical with the fellowship of churches under Eastern Orthodox bishops. Many Orthodox Christians would now include the churches under the pope-the bishop of Rome (Catholics).
The Many Meanings of Orthodoxy
I used to explain to my students that we Baptists and other evangelical Christians think we're the truly orthodox Christians. I enjoyed the irony that this other fellowship of churches from Eastern Europe and the Middle East call themselves "Orthodox" while we are really more orthodox than they are! This play on words is confusing, so let me explain.
In religious jargon "orthodox" may simply mean "theologically correct." You've heard of "politically correct." Well, orthodoxy with a small "o" is simply theological correctness. Every branch of Christianity thinks it is more orthodox than others; otherwise there would be little reason for existing as a separate denomination. The Eastern Orthodox family of churches has long embraced and used the "O" label because they highly value being theologically correct; to them it is of greatest importance after right worship, which is also part of being orthodox in their eyes. They affirm the ancient creeds of Christendom, such as the Nicene Creed, and repeat them often. And they seek to adhere to the teachings of the church fathers of the first eight centuries. As one Eastern Orthodox priest told us, "All important questions were answered in the first eight centuries"-by the church fathers and the ecumenical (universal) councils of the church.
Traditionally, then, religious scholars use "Orthodox" with a capital "O" to refer to that family of churches looking to the ancient church fathers and councils of the first seven or eight centuries and in submission to the great patriarchs of the ancient capital cities of Christendom (e.g., the Patriarch of Constantinople, a city in Turkey now called Istanbul). We often use "orthodox" with a small "o" to designate theological correctness. The first use is descriptive whereas the second one is prescriptive. To adherents of Eastern Orthodoxy, of course, the two are the same.
There's another, less scholarly but more popular meaning of "orthodoxy" I use in this chapter. In popular parlance orthodoxy means being locked into tradition and closed to new ways of thinking, living, believing, worshiping, and practicing the Christian faith. An orthodox Christian, in this sense, is any Christian who stands firmly for tradition-however that is perceived. But orthodoxy in this sense especially relates to doctrine; orthodoxy is firm and unwavering adherence to a set of doctrines that are usually expressed in some creed and/or confessional statement. In other words, it is more than just "theological correctness" because everyone who thinks about God would like to be theologically correct. Theological correctness is an ideal identical with right thinking. We all want to think we think rightly.
The sense of orthodoxy I'm talking about now is more that just thinking rightly because it enshrines a particular set of doctrines carved out of Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience (the so-called Wesleyan Quadrilateral) and carved into stone at some time in the past by some group of people. The people who defined this orthodox set of doctrines may be bishops (as in Roman Catholic councils) or ministers or theologians (as in many Protestant denominations). In this sense, orthodoxy is affirming allegiance without mental reservation or qualification to these traditional beliefs.
The word "orthodoxy," then, has three distinct connotations: (1) that family of churches in submission to a group of patriarchs (super-bishops) of Eastern Europe and the Middle East called Eastern Orthodoxy, (2) theological correctness as an ideal, and (3) strict adherence to and affirmation of a formal set of doctrines expressed in written creeds and confessions of faith. For members of Eastern Orthodoxy, of course, all three are identical. The Roman Catholic Church also rolls them into one with the exception that it considers only the churches under the bishop of Rome (the pope) completely orthodox. Protestants have a special problem with orthodoxy number three because Martin Luther and other sixteenth-century Reformers rebelled against that orthodoxy. When Luther was asked to recant his beliefs such as that salvation is by God's grace through faith alone and not through faith and good works, he appealed to God's Word (the Bible) and reason against popes and church councils (i.e., against a magisterium of orthodoxy) and said they contradicted each other. In other words, he appealed to Scripture and reason against orthodoxy itself.
The Protestant Principle
Beginning with Luther, all Protestants have always affirmed sola scriptura (Scripture alone) as the test of true belief. This was radical stuff in Luther's time. One hundred years earlier the Bohemian reformer John Hus was burned at the stake for the same rebellious attitude toward official orthodoxy. Of course, both Luther and Hus wanted to be orthodox in the sense of theologically correct. But neither one wanted to bow down and accept without question traditional beliefs that could not be proved by Scripture and that went against reason. They were against being orthodox in that sense.
Later, however, successive generations of Protestants began to forget the value of checking every Christian belief, however ancient and widely accepted or enforced by an inquisition, by Scripture. They began to develop statements of faith that took on the aura of authority reminiscent of the Catholic Church's creeds. Luther's followers first wrote the Augsburg Confession as a statement of faith to show the Holy Roman Emperor that they were theologically correct according to Scripture. Later that same confession came to be treated as an inviolable and incorrigible creed by some conservative Lutherans.
Now there's irony. John Calvin, the Reformer of Switzerland and especially Geneva, the great organizer of Protestant thought, had "heretic" Michael Servetus burned at the stake for his refusal to accept orthodox doctrines. Catholics and Protestants alike hunted down and killed Anabaptists because they wouldn't conform to belief in infant baptism and insisted on baptizing adults only. They were killed for rejecting the orthodoxy of their day, which was shared by both Protestants and Catholics. Many Anabaptists also rejected the detailed, formal systems of doctrine developed by their fellow Protestants.
Protestants have always claimed to believe in Scripture above tradition; every doctrine is to be tested by Scripture and whatever cannot be proven by Scripture is not to be preached or taught as true. Of course, people may be free to hold opinions, but official teachings of the churches should be clearly biblical and not merely traditional. That's the meaning of sola scriptura-not Scripture as the only book to read but Scripture as the ultimate source and standard of truth especially for Christian faith and practice. However, many Protestants have faltered at this and insisted that people in their churches simply affirm doctrines without asking whether they are biblical or challenging them by Scripture.
Conservative Presbyterians have the Westminster Confession of Faith; conservative Dutch Reformed have the Canons and Decrees of the Synod of Dort (1618/1619). At that synod or council of Reformed "divines" (ministers and theologians), a group of Dutch dissenters known as the Remonstrants (which really means the same as "Protestants") were tried as heretics because they were judged to have departed from the traditional doctrines of the Reformed churches of Europe. Their leader had been Jacob Arminius (d. 1609), who was widely acknowledged to be a brilliant biblical scholar and theologian of his day. He taught theology at the University of Leyden in the Netherlands and rejected the doctrines of absolute, unconditional predestination in favor of belief in free will and human cooperation with God's grace in salvation. His followers, the Remonstrants, came to be called Arminians. The Reformed delegates to the Synod of Dort judged them harshly for rejecting what was considered traditional belief in God's absolute sovereignty, and they were stripped of their positions and property and exiled from the Netherlands. One was beheaded-all this in the name of orthodoxy.
Of course, later, the Remonstrants and Arminians developed their own official versions of orthodoxy and in some cases expelled people who disagreed even if they marshaled biblical arguments for their views. This is the natural human tendency-"hardening of the categories." As radical denominations seeking freedom from religious oppression at the hands of gatekeepers of orthodoxy become older and more established, they tend to create and enforce their own orthodoxies and oppress free thinkers who dare to challenge them.
