The Mackie Onyx console is freaking out.  Until we get it fixed, I thought of another way to work in the studio.  Use the Digidesign 003.

1. Patch the Digidesign 003 Main outs (top row) to the subwoofer L,R inputs (bottom row).
2. Select Digidesign HW as your audio output in the application

OR –> select Built-in Line Output in the Apple System Preferences and push the “Aux In” (light on) on the 003

3. Turn the “Monitor” knob on 003 to adjust overall volume

If an application ever asks to locate the Waves plugins, you can find them in the Applications>Waves>Waves PlugIns folder. Find the folder by clicking on it once, then click on “Choose”.  FYI, all other plugins for Digidesign are kept here: Library>Application Support>Digidesign>Plug-Ins folder

When you log into the computers an applescript will run to guide your login to your iLocker account. Its a pretty simple script that asks you a few questions, opens fetch and applies your answers to the right places.

If you op out when you first login, you can always launch the iLocker script later.  Its called Fetch iLocker and its in the applications folder (as a run-only applescript app).

I tried other ways to do this. One, use applescript to mount volume but I kept getting errors. Two, use Automator but I couldn’t get a variable in the URL field of the “Get Specified Servers” action and therefore, the specific user area would not pass through to the “Connect to Servers” action. So lastly, using Fetch seems to work every time.

Here’s the script if you interested.

set myUsername to “”

set Dialog1 to display dialog “To connect to iLocker, please enter your BSU user name (otherwise, press Cancel)” default answer “”

set the myUsername to the text returned of Dialog1

set myPassword to “”

set Dialog2 to display dialog “Please enter your BSU password” default answer “” with hidden answer

set myPassword to the text returned of Dialog2

tell application “Finder”

activate

open application file “Fetch.app” of folder “Applications” of startup disk

end tell

tell application “Fetch”

activate

make new transfer window at beginning with properties {hostname:”ilocker.bsu.edu”, username:myUsername, password:myPassword, initial folder:”users/” & myUsername}

end tell
