How do you 'switch off' audio destination tracks?

I'm at the beginning of lesson 13 in FCE 4 Editing Workshop and am perplexed by the instruction to 'switch off destination tracks A1 and A2' by clicking on the buttons at the head of each track. There are several things that could be called 'buttons' in the patch panel. first there is a green circle with a speaker graphic which I assume is to 'mute the track, next there is a left-rounded shape with the lettering a1 in it which separates from the right-rounded shape with A1 in it if I click on it, I don't think that is the button either, next, there is a lock shape which I assume is to lock the track from modification and I don't think that is the button to switch the track off either, next is a funny square with rectangles on four sides which seems to do nothing if I click on it but become filled or not filled.
Which, if any, of these graphical buttons should I be choosing to switch off the destination track? What appearance change will I see in the button between being on or off?
TIA,
Ken

Possibly, but I agree with your book mostly on this subject that Editing is best learned by editing. This then means that the actual working with FCE is best learned by digging in and doing it, which naturally brings me to the many points which are not clear. These forums are the saving grace for users like me I do believe. A DVD would be incomprehensible to me because while I am working, I have the book right next to me with pages open, going along at the pace where it sinks in. I don't think a DVD could do any better of a job and I would still be here seeking clarification on points that were not quite understood.

How do you turn off audio in a clip

How do you turn off audio in a clip. I am trying to eliminate wind noise. I am using premier 12.

Welcome to the forum.
In addition to Steve's suggestions, there is another way, that comes to my mind:
Open Audio Mixer, and for that Audio Track, check the Mute checkbox.
Good luck,

How do you switch off WiFi - is there an easy way?

Hi I am coming from SPV MS Smartphones. My mate has got a new one with WiFi in, and it has a lovely shortcut menu to switch in ll WiFi, BT etc.
How do you switch off the WiFi on the N80, I read in the manual that "WiFi is always on" surely this cannot be true, Nokia cannot be that daft as this would kill the battery!!
Am I right in saying that the 4 little squares shows that WiFi is on?
cheers
My N80 is on Orange purchased in June 2006 firmware v 3.0617.06 03-05-2006

hi there...
yes u can turn off wifi , menu-tools-settings-connection-wireless lan , from there u can choose whether u want ur wlan to be active or inactive , active gives u options of searching for available networks for ur set time , from every min to every 10 mins ,just choose never in show availability option , tht basically stops wlan to search for available networks automatically . incase if u want to search for available networks , u can do tht easily by going to menu-connectivity-connection manager -available wlan ..
hope this answered ur question ,
thnx..

How do you switch off automatic updates on atv2

Could some one explain how to switch off automatic updates on atv2.

Chances are if you have modified AppleTV 2 software then the additions you have added will have an option to disable any updates.
Specifically discussing jailbreaking/modifying AppleTV is prohibited by Apple.

How do you turn off audio when coming back to a branched slide?

I have audio on a slide (like the main menu) and I want the learners to return to this slide when they get to the end of a section. However, I don't want the audio to replay. I tried creating an advanced interaction to stop the triggered audio but that isn't working. Does anyone have another approach for making this happen?
Thank you!
Tara

Is this audio attached to the slide, then there is no way to stop the audio when you enter the slide a second time. The statement 'Stop triggered audio' - which tells me that you are using CP6 - will only stop audio that has been started with 'Play audio'. Both are new statements. Do not add the audio to the slide, but create this condtional action to be triggered on entering that slide:
I checked it as you can see, and it works,

How do you import minidisc / audio cassette tracks for iTunes use?

Have old family audio cassettes (originals) and minidiscs (recorded from cassettes) and really want to convert them to mp3
Would be more than grateful for your advice! Cheers, Matt

Your powerbook has a line-in connection, so you can connect it with a line-out of an audio device.
You could also use an USB device like the iMic.
Such a device generally gives better audio quality than using the direct line-in.
Next, you need an application to record the digitized audio.
You can start with the freeware audio editor Audacity, which is a good editor and has lots of filtering possibilities.
Other audio editors like Amadeus II or Sound Studio 3 offer more functions.
Specialized applications, like CD Spin Doctor make it very easy to record, burn and transfer the audio to iTunes.

Just bought a Mac book and the set up is with the Voice over key commands,how do you switch this off as it is painfull to use and use the scroll pad?

It's the button (key) that is labelled Control.
Each of the modifier keys and similar keys has its own symbol; this makes listing command keys easier to do. The Command key is usually the only key which has its symbol printed on the key. If you open Keyboard Viewer (in the Input menu, the one which displays the flag in the main menu bar), you can see what symbol refers to which key.

How do you sync two audio clips without a clapper board?

... so the cameras had to be well back to catch the whole shot, and to catch the sound, we used a separate audio recorder closer to the performers.
In hindsight, I suppose we could have used a clapper board but if the board was close to the recorder, it would be hard to see... and if it was closer to the cameras, it would be hard to hear the clap on the recorder.
now the question is how to perfectly sync the better audio from the recorder with the lesser audio from the cameras (then delete the lesser audio)
so far, its not quite right and their lips are off like an old Japanese Sci Fi Movie. Is there any way to move one track frame by frame over the other to get it right? (some sort of keyboard command?)
OR is there some sort of app that someone wrote that could overlay the the good audio with the reference audio and sort of "snap it" into position? The waveforms look similar aside from the quality and strength of the signals.

Rob, Andy
just wanted to revisit this post. Were onto something great here!
so to update us, I DL'ed "PluralEyes" but it didn't work. Each time I pointed it at the program file, it shut itself down. I tried rebooting the whole machine, trashing preferences etc but it wouldn't work.
the developers were great! got back to me asap. I sent the crash reports and the file I was working on and they discovered a "huge bug"
Today, they emailed me a link to a FIX which be included in their next version but they allowed me to try it today and guess what? it FIXED it!
So I started the app and let it run (its over 2 hr program) the app ran for like an hour and put out two new sequences, "unsynced" and "synced"
but i have some questions;
there were two cameras and a separate audio recorder.
in "synced" it lined up the recorder audio with the camera 1 audio but it pushed camera 2 and its audio to the side (further down the timeline)
of course, what we want is for camera 2 to also be synced (or sunk;-) so when we cut between cameras, the lips are still in sync.
now how do we get it to line up camera 2?
screen shot.
in the "synced" sequence, we need to sync camera 2 with camera 1.
also, it has left out much of the program in the "synced sequence" there are actually three tapes from each camera. you can see here that we are left with one tape from each camera.
what do we do from here?
also, before moving anything around, I can link the tracks but that doesnt stop them from getting out of sync. and locking the tracks means they cannot be moved. so how do you attach the audio to video without getting out of sync?
.... In the "good ol days" (so Ive heard) editors had years and years to master their craft. Film & Splicing were in power for like what? 75 years?
Now there are new programs emerging every day with entirely their own learning curve! But if this works just this once, its well worth buying it! its a fantastic app! Im sure it just takes some getting used to!

How do you select two audio capture devices?

Hi all,
At the moment I'm simply using CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList to get a list of all the capture devices on my system. Now when I print this it looks like this...

Now my system actually has 2 michrophones attatched to it. At the moment I'm using DirectSoundCapture to record audio. My first question is, how do you detect multiple audio capture devices? and then of course, how can you record off of different audio capture devices?
Anything would be helpful, if theres a tutorial somewhere on this which i've missed somehow, please tell me. I'm probably missing something pretty major I figure.

I posted in a different thread that I was using the old javax.sound.sampled library to try to record. However, using this library it was quite simple to get a list of devices which could then be used to make a SourceDataLine that could be used to record. However, I was having trouble actually recording and switched to JMF as it has more features and I thought it would be simpler to use. It probably is but I have been struggling. I can record audio in JMF fine but I cant get a device list as I could with the javax.sound.sampled library.
I'll put the code I was working off in here anyway. It shows what I want to do, I just want to do it in JMF.
Note that this code was written 4 years ago by a Matthias Pfisterer and not by myself.
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFileFormat;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem;
import javax.sound.sampled.DataLine;
import javax.sound.sampled.Line;
import javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException;
import javax.sound.sampled.Mixer;
import javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine;
import javax.sound.sampled.TargetDataLine;
 /** List Mixers.
 Only Mixers that support either TargetDataLines or SourceDataLines
 are listed, depending on the value of bPlayback.
 public static void listMixersAndExit(boolean bPlayback)
 out("Available Mixers:");
 Mixer.Info[] aInfos = AudioSystem.getMixerInfo();
 for (int i = 0; i < aInfos.length; i++)
 Mixer mixer = AudioSystem.getMixer(aInfos);
 Line.Info lineInfo = new Line.Info(bPlayback ?
 SourceDataLine.class :
 TargetDataLine.class);
 if (mixer.isLineSupported(lineInfo))
 out(aInfos[i].getName());
 if (aInfos.length == 0)
 out("[No mixers available]");
 System.exit(0);
Calling this method on my system will print the following.
Available Mixers:
Microsoft Sound Mapper
AK5370
SoundMAX Digital Audio
AK5370 (2)
This looks very different to what I get when I call CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList()
How can I achieve the equivilent in JMF?

HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did the "see Advanced - General - Accessiblity. and still having problems

HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did perform the "see Advanced - General - Accessibility. It worked for me and my "user" site (don't know how to say my site) and still having problems with my wife's. I have gone to OPTIONS → GONE TO → ADVANCE and CLICKED THE LINE → ""Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page…""
This did not rememdy the problem. I did try to get on the other site suggested
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility.blockautorefresh
but got a 404 error...
I have googled the "ff prevented...." and after a number of hours searching I still have not found a fix...
REALLY HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME....
JM

You should still disable this setting:
*Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
What is the value of the accessibility.blockautorefresh pref on the about:config page?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.blockautorefresh
If you have problems with preferences, see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

How can i switch off 3G in iOS 8

It seems that this question has not been asked yet, so here it is:
How do I switch off 3G in iOS 8 but keep the cellular data connection for receiving emails, go on the internet, etc? 3G coverage here is patchy so I expect either poor connectivity and / or quick drain of battery power because of endless searches for 3G signals.

I Still do not understand what you mean when you ask "how can I make my iPad operate normally again?" That seems to have no relation at all to using the privacy settings.
However, you do not have to allow any apps to have access to the items in the Privacy Settings. But remember that you may be limiting functionality in those apps if you don't allow access.
For instance, go to Settings>Privacy>Microphone. See which apps have requested access to the iPad mic. Let's say that Google is tuned on in that setting. You can turn it off but then you will not be able to ask Google questions - you cannot use voice prompts in Google if you turn it off. All of those items work the same way, if you have another calendar app that you want to use along with the built in calendar - if you allow the other calendar app access to the iPad calendar, you can keep both calendars in sync.
You ou have to decide what you want to allow other apps to have access to on your iPad.

How do you turn off snap to grid in Logic Pro x

Hi
How do you turn off snap to grid as in garageband .....it was quite simple...
But I don't seem to get to grips with this in logic ....
I have options of smart ...and so on ....
I want to be able to move eg an imported audio file to start wherever I want so not to snap to the nearest beat or bar...
Anyone know??
Thanks

Technically you cannot turn it off, but you can choose a very fine resolution which in effect boils down to having it off: ticks. For accurately lining up audio you can use Samples (the smallest snap value, probably equates to GB's off setting?).
I have F5 to F8 assigned to snap values bar, beat, division and tick. Very handy.
The Frames values obviously come in handy when working to video, though there's no law agaist using it without video.
Note that they are ordered from big to smallest.
