Adding loops and loops format question

Hi, i've been facing difficulties adding loops into my GB. My problem is: "Loops do not appear in my loop browser nor the loop list from the silver loop bar above the browser".
Yes, forgive me for asking this repeated question but after checking the help tutorial, my personal GB guide books, and even HangTime's FAQ, sadly, i still dont find any answers.
Generally, the procedure is pretty simple from all the sources i've read. Simply drag the folder or loops into the browser and thats DONE right? I did exactly what it said but sigh...maybe there's something wrong with my Macbook?
For your information, all the loops that i've been adding are loops from CDs coupled with FutureMusic and ComputerMusic magazines, so i believe the sources are pretty reliable i hope.
As i was struggling to add the loops, this msg popped up for the first time; "Loops that are not in Apple format will not be added into GB"
So, is the loop format the main cause of my problem?
if yes, is there any way to convert the format? what is the procedure?
ps: My current status is, some loops i added are in my browser while some dont although they exist in User/Library/Audio/AppleLoops/UserLoops.
Thank you in advance.
Peace

So, is the loop format the main cause of my problem?
likely.
if yes, is there any way to convert the format? what is the procedure?

Converting from PDF directly to Java Objects/XML (and PDF format questions)

Hi,
I posted this originally in the Acrobat Windows forums but was told I might have more luck here, so here goes:
I am desperately trying to find a tool (preferably open source but commercial is fine also) that will sit on top of a PDF and allow me to query it's text for content and formatting (I don't care about images). I have found some tools that get me part of the way there, but nothing that seems to provide an end-to-end solution but is quite lightweight. My main question is WHY are there so many tools that go from PDF to RTF, and many tools that go from RTF to XML, but NONE that I can find that go PDF to XML.
To clarify, by formatting I simply mean whether a line/block of text is bold/italic, and its font size. I am not concerned with exact position on the page. The background is that I will be searching PDFs and assigning importance to whether text is a heading/bodytext etc. We already have a search tool in place so implementing a pure PDF search engine is not an option. I need a lightweight tool that simply allows me to either make calls directly to the PDF OR converts to XML which I can parse.
Some tools I have tried:
1) PDFBox (Java Library) - Allows the extraction of text content easily, but doesn't seem to have good support for formatting.
2) JPedal (Java Library) - Allows extraction of text content easily, and supports formatting IF XML structured data is in the PDF (not the case for my data).
3) Nitro PDF (Tool) + RTF to XML (script) - This works quite nicely and shows that PDF to XML is possible, but why do I have to use 2 tools? Also, these are not libraries I can integrate into my app.
4) iText (Java Library) - Seems great at creating PDFs but poor at extracting content.
I don't really expect someone to give me a perfect solution (although that would be nice!).
Instead, what I'd like to know is WHY tools support PDF to RTF/Word/whatever retaining formatting, and other tools support RTF to XML with the formatting information retained. What is it about PDF and RTF/Word that makes it feasible to convert that way, but not to XML. Also, as I found in 3) above, it is perfectly feasible to end up as XML from PDF, so why do no tools support this reliably!
Many thanks for any advice from PDF gurus.

XML doesn't mean anything - it's just a generic concept for structuring
information. You need a specific GRAMMAR of XML to mean anything. So what
grammar would you use? Something standard? Make up your own?
However, there are a number of commercial and open source products that can
convert PDF to various XML grammars - SVG, ABW, and various custom grammars.
But the other thing you need to understand is that most PDF files do not
have any structure associated with them (as you saw when using JPEDAL). As
such, any concepts of paragraphs/sections/tables/etc. Are WILD GUESSES by
the software in question.

JFileChooser and date format questions

I have a JFileChooser that currently works - I set the default directory and allow the user to select a file or enter a file name.
I have been asked to modify this to prepopulate the file name field on the JFileChooser.
How do I do that? It is not obvious which method to call to set the filename field.
Also, the file name needs to be a timestamp "*yyyyMMddHHmmss*.dat"
I tried creating the timestamp part with the following code, but it does not format as expected.
        String s = "";
        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddddHHmmss");
        try
            java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date();
            java.util.Date dat = dateFormat.parse( now.toString() );
            s = dat.toString();
        }What is wrong with this?
Thanks.

Adding Tracks and being Organized Question?

Hey All,
Sometimes I download tracks to my desktop or move them over from a zip onto my desktop.
Then I go to put them into a my iTunes library and the tracks are just added into my library on a one by one basis.
What I'd really like is to be able to have the folder organize itself and put it into the appropriate artist/album folder. Is there anyway to do this?
So let's say I've put Coldplay Square One from X&Y into my iTunes folder. Is there anyway to get that to put itself in the right folder?
Thanks!
Luke

Hello VM,
iTunes has a feature that handles what you describe. In preferences, go to the Advanced->General section, and make sure the option to "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" is checked.
Then, iTunes will AUTOMATICALLY keep all the files straight, based on the "Tags" in the files themselves.
From time to time, I have run across files which are "Mis-Tagged" and it is not so good. The fix for that is using the SmartPlaylists in iTunes.
You can create one that will add only "Songs Added on xx/xx/xx". So if you drop a bunch of misc tracks into iTunes, and they are not perfectly tagged, you can use that smartlist to collect them in one place, then go thru them and edit the tagging info. Then when you are done, all is already sorted and stored correctly.

Adding loops to the loop browser.

I'm using mac os 10.4.11. I have placed all my loops on an external hard drive.
1) Are only apple loops allowed to be added or aiff loops in general as well?
2) when adding loops to the loop browser should one add an entire folder if they are in a folder or just the files within a folder? I added a folder of flutes but can not find flutes anywhere in the loop browser file list.
3) As I didn't want the loops within the jam pack voices, and rhythm section installer packages to be added to garageband I removed the loops folders from the packages, and dropped them onto the loop browser. When looking in the jam pack management it shows the rhythm section but not the voices. When I again attempted to drop the voices folder it said it was already there, although I still can't see it.
4) Once I understand how to do this correctly should I trash the loop browser apple loops index file and re-drop all the loops on the browser again to get everything cataloged correctly?
Thank you,
Robert

Select "Add to Loop Library" from the Edit menu!

Adding loops problem

Hi I dont seem to be very successful adding loops. I drag the folder of loops to the browser and GB says it adds but when I search for them, I cant find them - seems some Loops are there but not others.
The files are all AIFF with extension of both .aif and .aiff. The files are listed in the finder in library>>audio>>apple loops>>user loops but dont come up in the browser.
I restarted garageband to reload but that didnt help.
Strangely loops which are in one folder seem to appear in the wrong loop browser as well.
Thanks in advance

The loops have to be in the same measure as your current piece (most of them are 4/4), and if you have "filtering" checked near "keyword browsing" in the Prefs, GB will only show you loops whose key is not more than 2 semitones off of your song's key.

CBO (optimizer) nest-loop join question

OS: Red Hat Linux
DB: 11gR1
I have gotten two conflicting answers while reading books by Don Burleson and Dan Hotka. It has to do with the CBO and nested-joins:
One says the CBO will choose the 'smaller' table as the driving table, the other states that the 'larger' table will be the driving table. And both stick by this philosophy as the preferred goal of any SQL Tuning -- that is, one states that the 'smaller' table should be the driving table. The other says the 'larger' table should be the driving table.
I had always thought that the 'smaller' table should be the driving table. That in a nested loop the driving will not likely use an index even. Who is correct? (I am not going to say who said what, btw). :-)
But I got to let one of them know they got a 'typo' ... :-)
Thx.

user601798 wrote:
It is an over-simplistic scenario but, as I mentioned, if all other things are 'equal' -- which would include 'access time/work', then I think the small table as the driving table has the advantage.
It is not possible for +"*all* other things to be equal"+. (my emphasis).
If by +'access time/work'+ you mean the total is the same then it doesn't matter which table is first, the time/work is the same either way round.
If you want to say that the +'access time/work'+ for acquiring the first rowsource is the same for both paths, and the +'access time/work'+ for acquiring related rows from the second table is the same FOR EACH DRIVING ROW, then the total +'access time/work'+ will be difference, and it would be better to start with the smaller table. (The example by Salman Qureshi above: Re: CBO (optimizer) nest-loop join question would apply.)
On the other hand, and ignoring any idea of "all other things being equal", smaller tables tend to have smaller indexes, so if your smaller rowsource comes from a smaller table then acquiring those rows may be cheaper than acquiring rows from a larger table - which leads to the observation that (even with perfectly precise indexing):
<ul>
smaller number of rows * larger unit cost to find related rows
</ul>
may produce a larger value than
<ul>
larger number of rows * smaller unit cost to find related rows
</ul>

"Only files in Apple Loops format will be shown in the loop browser".

I recorded a Drum loop from my Korg m50 workstation into logic pro 9.
After recording i tried to import that loop into Apples loop library. After doing so i get this message.."Only files in Apple Loops format will be shown in the loop browser."
What do i do?
Please help.
Thanks
Rohan

I've recently gotten this error when I try to drag an audio file into the loops library (to create an apple loop.)
Comes along with Result Code=-43.
I'm trying to quantize some rhythmic loops using flex, then turn them into apple loops for the library.
My process:
Take original audio.
Flex it using slice mode.
Bounce in place.
Drag new region into Loops browser.
Errors ensue.

Adding a RAID card to help speed up export (and other drive question) in Premiere Pro CC

First of all, I have read Tweakers Page exporting section because that is where my primary concern is. First my questions, then background and my current and proposed configurations:
Question 1: Will adding a hardware RAID controller, such as an LSI MegaRAID remove enough burden from the CPU managing parity on my software RAID 5 that the CPU will jump for joy and export faster?
Question 2: If true to above, then compare thoughts on adding more smaller SSDs for either a one volume RAID 0 or smaller two volume RAID 0 to complement existing HDD RAID 5. That is, I'm thinking of buying four Samsung 850 Pro 128 GB SSDs to put in a four disk volume to handle everything (media/projects, media cache, previews, exports), or split it up into two volumes of two disks each and split the duties, or keep the four disk volume idea and put the previews & exports on my HDD RAID 5 array.
The 850's are rated at SEQ read/write: 550/470 MB/s thus I could get around 2000/1500 MB/s read write in a four disk RAID 0 or 1/2 that if I split into two volumes to minimize volumes from reading/writing at the same time, if that really matters with these SSDs?
The Tweaker's page made a few comments. One is splitting duties among different disks, rather than a large efficient RAID may actually slow things down. Since the SSDs are much faster than a single HDD, I'm thinking that is no longer accurate, thus I'm leaning toward the Four disk configuration putting OS & Programs on C drive, Media & Projects on D (HDD RAID 5), Pagefile & Media Cache on SSD (2-disk RAID 0) and Previews &Exports on 2nd SSD RAID 0 (or combine the two RAID 0's and their duties).
Just trying to get a perspective here, since I haven't purchased anything yet. Any experience/stories, I would appreciate.
My current drive configuration:
My D drive is software RAID 5 consisting of four 1 TB Western Digital RE4 (RED) 7200 RPM HDDs with a CrystalDiskMark SEQ Read/Write of 339/252 MB/s.
The C drive is SSD 500 GB (Samsung 840 (not Pro) and does 531/330 MB/s. My OS, Program Files and Page File are on C, and data/media files/project, etc all are on the RAID drive.
Problem:
Current setup allows for smooth editing, only the exporting seems slow, often taking between two and two and a half times the video length to export. Thus a 10 minute video takes 20-30 minutes to export. 15 minute video can take 30-40 minutes to export. The first 10% of the two-pass export takes under a minute (seems fast), but it gets slower where the final 10 or 20% can hang for many minutes like my system is running out of steam. So where is the waste?
I have enabled hardware acceleration (did the GPU hack since my GPU isn't listed) and it may spike at 25% usage a few times and eat up 600 MB of VRAM (I have 2 GB of VRAM), otherwise it is idle the whole export. The CPU may spike at 50% but it doesn't seem overly busy either.
Our timeline is simple with two video streams and two audio streams (a little music and mostly voice) with simple transitions (jump cuts or cross dissolves). We sometimes fast color correct, so that might use the GPU? Also, since we film in 1080 60P and export 1080 29.97 frames/sec, I think that is scaling and uses the GPU. I know without the GPU, it does take a lot longer. I have ruled out buying a faster GPU since it doesn't appear to be breaking a sweat. I just need to know if my system is bottlenecked at the hard drive level because I'm using software RAID and my disks are slow and will hardware RAID significantly reduce the CPU load so it can export faster.
Our files are not huge in nature. Most our clips are several MBs each. Total project files are between 5 GBs and 10 GBs for each video with Windows Media File export being 500 MB to 1.2 GB on average. We shoot using Panasonic camcorders so the original files are AVCHD, I believe (.MTS files?).
Considerations:
1. I'm thinking of buying (and future proofing) an LSI Logic MegaRAID 9361-8i that is 12Gb/s SAS and SATA (because some current SSDs can exceed the 6Gb/s standard).
2. I'm not replacing my current RAID 5 HDDs because not in my budget to upgrade to 6 or more large SSDs. These drives are more important to me for temporary storage because I remove the files once backed up. I don't mind a few inexpensive smaller SSDs if they can make a significant difference for editing and exporting.
I can only guess my HDD RAID is slow but the CPU is burdened with parity. I would imagine running RAID 10 would not help much.
My setup:
my setup:
CPU - i7-3930K CPU @4.5 GHz
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 2133 @2000
Motherboard - ASUS P9X79 WS LGA 2011
GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 2GB (performed the compatibility list hack to enable hardware acceleration).
C drive - 500 GB Samsung 840 SSD (Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and programs).
D drive - four 1 TB WD RE4 Enterprise HDDs 7200 RPMs in software RAID 5
Case - Cooler Master HAF X
CPU Fan - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO with 120 mm fan
Power Supply - Corsair Pro Series AX 850 Watt 80 Plus Gold
Optical Drive - Pioneer BDR - 208DBK

........software RAID 5 off the motherboard ??????......NOT a good idea, from what I have read here on this forum from experts like Harm Millard and others. They have mentioned a LARGE overhead on the CPU doing this....causing sub-par performance. RAID 0 off the motherboard will NOT do this, however.....RAID 0 would provide optimum speed, but, with the risk of total data loss if ANY drive fails. You may wish to reconfigure your RAID to be RAID 0...BUT...you would need to DILIGENTLY back up its entire volume onto perhaps a quality 4TB drive very frequently.
A lot depends on the nature of your current and FUTURE codecs you plan to edit. You may not want to sink a lot of money into an older setup that may have trouble with more demanding future codecs. For now, in the 1080p realm, your rig should be OK....the read/write performance on your CURRENT RAID 5 setup is not great, and a definite drag on the performance. The rest of your components appear to be fine.....the Samsung SSD, though not ideal, is OK.....it's write speed is WAY lower than the Pro model,but, the drive is used mainly for reading operations. Since you have Windows 7 Pro, and NOT Windows 8.......you CAN put the entire windows page file onto the RAID 0 you might create.....this will take that frequent read/write load OFF the SSD. Read the "tweakers Page" to see how to best TUNE your machine. To use your current setup most efficiently, without investing much money, you would :a. create the RAID 0 off the motherboard, ( putting all media and project files on it ) b. install a quality 7200rpm 4TB HDD to serve as a BACKUP of the RAID array. Then, install a Crucial M550 256GB or larger SSD, ( close in performance to Samsung 850 Pro...much cheaper), to put all previews, cache , and media cache files on....AND to use as " global performance cache" for After Effects...if you use that program. Exporting can be done to ANOTHER Crucial M550 for best speed...or, just to the either the FIRST Crucial or, the 4TB drive. Your current GPU will accelerate exports on any video containing scaling and any GPU accelerated effects. Your CPU is STILL important in SERVING the data to and from the GPU AND for decoding and encoding non-GPU handled video....your high CPU clock speed helps performance there ! You may want to check out possibly overclocking your video card, using MSI Afterburner.or, similar free program. Increasing the "memory clock speed" can RAISE performance and cut export times on GPU effects loaded timelines,or, scaling operations. On my laptop, I export 25% faster doing this. With my NEW i7 4700 HQ laptop, I export in the range of your CURRENT machine....about 2 to 3 times the length of the original video. PROPERLY SET UP...your desktop machine should BLOW THIS AWAY !!
Visit the PPBM7 website and test your current setup to possibly identify current bottlenecks,or, performance issues. THEN, RE-TEST it again, after making improvements to your machine to see how it does. Be aware that new codecs are coming (H.265 and HEVC,etc.) which may demand more computer horsepower to edit, as they are even MORE compressed and engineered for "streaming" high quality at a lower bandwidth on the internet. The new Haswell E...with its quad-channel memory, 8 core option, large number of PCI gen. 3 lanes, goes farther in being prepared for 4K and more. Testing by Eric Bowen has shown the newer PPro versions provide MUCH better processing of 4K than older versions.

E4200v2 Needs - - Added supports of 3TB Hard drive with NTFS and HFS+ format

I see this was addressed in the E4200v1 firmware, but isn't currently supported with v2.
Obviously this was something you deemed important once already, I don't understand why it wasn't automatically added into the features of V2.
Also, would it be possible to add a usb hub to allow multiple hard drives? If not adding that feature would be very beneficial as well.

Well, E4200 feature set is essentially the same as the E4200 v1. So it can recognize FAT32, NTFS, and HFS+ formats.
Second, E4200 v2 does not support usb hub within the network. So you need to wait for the further release of the new firmware which may add the support for the USB hub.

For loop format

Ok so everybody knows the standard for loop format of:
for (initialization; termination; increment)
but what does it mean when you add a 4th expression to the mix?
this is from the Java Tutorial 4th Edition pg. 250
for (int i = 0; n = elements.length; i < n; i++)
Can somebody explain this please?

Perhaps you're thinking of something like this?
for (int ix = 0, jx = 10; ix < 100; ix++,
jx++)
ok good - well what does this mean?oh wait - this just means initialize 2 things before starting the loop, right? I get it now.

A question about date and number formats

Hi,
I have to change date and number formats from USA to UK format. Is the only place I must do that in user settings (SU01) ? I mean, is this enough or are there any other customizing settings, in FI for example ?
Thanks in advance,

I tested very much and the only place we should set it is on user settings

Workflow, Folios and Document Update question?

Hi
I missed out to read that line in the problem that you had put across. I had come across a scenario like this and the reason and the workaround that i ffigured out was :
Cause:
This is caused by the 'ZonedSecurityFields' configuration entry not being set with the 'xClbraUserList' and 'xClbraAliasList ' options.
Solution
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1. On the Content Server's file system, navigate to <ContentServer>\config
2. Make a backup copy of the 'config.cfg' file
3. Open the 'config.cfg' file
4. Under the "Additional Variables" section, place the following configuration entry:
ZonedSecurityFields=xClbraUserList,xClbraAliasList
5. Save the changes and close the file
6. Restart the Content Server
Let me know if this resolves the issue you are facing.
Thanks

Thank you.

Hi,
Before assigning the QADATE value you can write the logic to display 20080312   as 12-MAR-2008 taking the offset values .
Like
qadate = wa_jcds-UDATE.
qatime = wa_jcds-UTIME.
lw_year    = qadate(4).
lw_month = qadate+4(2).
lw_date    = qadate+6(2).
case lw_month.
when 1.
when 2.
        concatenate lw_date '-FEB-' lw_year into qadate.
when 3.
      concatenate lw_date '-MAR-' lw_year into qadate.
endcase.
READ TABLE out_tab INDEX 2.
MOVE qadate TO out_tab-value.
MODIFY out_tab INDEX sy-tabix.
And you can also change the timeformat also .
then assign that value to qatime .Then
READ TABLE out_tab INDEX 3.
MOVE qatime TO out_tab-value.
MODIFY out_tab INDEX sy-tabix.
I think this helps you.

Adding keywords and description to filename

I've built myself an online gallery system to let my clients view and purchase their photos online. To streamline my workflow, the script that imports my photos and resizes them for web display will also parse the file name to pull out a description and tags (keywords). So I went in and added descriptions and keywords to a few test images and went to save them out to try running through the script, but when trying to save from Camera Raw neither keywords nor description were available to add to the jpg file name. I figured I could get around this by simply using Bridge to rename the NEF files using the keywords and description, then I could just have CR save the jpgs using the current filename, but even Bridge doesn't seem to be able to access this metadata (and this would add addition time to the process anyway).
I know I can work around this by simply batch renaming the sets of files that I would otherwise add this metadata to, and creating the file names manually before export, but that would add a fair amount of time into the process and eliminates me being able to use keywords in Bridge. I work two jobs right now and anything I can do to my workflow to shave precious minutes off of it is huge to me.
So I guess my questions are:
1) Is it possible to get keywords and the description into my filenames (without spending more time than this process was designed to save)?
2) If not, what's the point of having that metadata?
3) Is this functionality available in a newer version of PS?
I'm using Photoshop CS3 and the format my final JPG files need to have is: "[4 digit sequence number]_[Description]_[comma delimited keyword list].jpg"
Thanks for reading, and hopefully helping.

Sorry about that, was too early in the morning when i posted that. No, you can't use Batch Rename to add keywords to files, i was thinking about metadata in general. The point of keywords is that you can search images for keywords and you can also use the Filter panel to show only images that contain certain keywords.
If you want Bridge to have this functionality then i suggest that you make a feature request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
