What's the best way to play a very short sound?

I'm writing a swing application, I want to play a beep (a very short wav file) every time I press a button. (a bit like the alert sound in windows)
I know there're different ways to play sound. I don't want to use a full-feature sound library because you tend to write more code and it going to use more RAM. I just need a simply way to play the sound.
Any suggestions?

Pardon my untested code, but...here's the basic idea.
/* Global variable */
Clip soundClip = null;
/* Load the clip */
public void load(String file) {
    /* Load the file into the stream */
    File af = new File("test.wav");
    AudioInputStream ais = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(af);
    /* Load the stream into the clip */
    soundClip = AudioSystem.getClip();
    soundClip.open(ais);
/* Play the clip */
public void play() {
    /* Don't play the clip if it hasn't been loaded yet */
    if (soundClip != null) {
        soundClip.setFramePosition(0);
        soundClip.start();
}

  • What is the best way to use single shot drum sounds?

    I have a huge collection of wav. format single sound drum sounds that I use in FL Studio. What is the best way to program drums in GB using them besides buying iDrum? I like the flexibility of using drums from different kits when I make my music so I kind of get board using a preset drum kit from GB even layering 3-4 kits isn't as nice as choosing each individual drum sound.

    Would be great to have more info but on a 24fps timeline with 24fps footage, you can simply right click and change the speed/duration to whatever. It'll be more jittery than smooth 60fps slow-mo. If your footage is shot at 60fps and you are editing on a 24fps timeline, just select the clip and right-click and choose MODIFY>Interpret footage and change the fps to 23.976 and you're done. Now when you drop that clip on the timeline it's in smooth slow-mo. Or, you can just toss the original clip on the timeline and change the speed/duration setting to 40%. Pretty much the same thing although the former is better if you need to add any warp stabilization to the clip. Anything you want to speed back up you can either duplicate the clip in the project panel and change it back to the original frame rate OR you can simply adjust it on the timeline to 250% speed which is back to normal. Good luck!

  • What is the best way to play .m4v on lcd?

    Hi. I have many movies in .m4v format in my macbook, but I really don't like having to connect every time I want to use it through thunderbolt or streaming from it. I would like to have a device which is always connected to the lcd through hdmi. I have the macbook, 2 external drives, ps3. But the ps3 must me fat32 which has the 4gb limit, so it doesn't work. I was thinking on a mac mini or the apple tv. ( nothing else comes to my mind). Though I'm not sure if the ATV would work, I have never used one. But it would be much cheaper. The mac mini would work for sure perfectly. The movies also have multiple languages in audio and subtitles, I use VLC player to play them, which works perfectly. Any suggestions on how to do this?

    Hi Rob,
    A few options for the Video_TS folder:
    - One, as kyrunner said you can use DVD player (the "Open DVD media" item under "File" menu)
    - You can use the very adaptive VLC player, which is a free project and can be downloaded here <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/>
    - Another useful option is to use the great video_ts feature under "video" in Toast (7.0 or 8.0) this will allow you to drop a bunch of .VOB files off your Video_TS folder into toast, then decide what level of compression with which tracks (subtitles, supplements, audio etc.) to save. Once you're done you can save the new DVD as an image on your disk (File>Save as disk image) saving disk space since you dropped unneeded tracks but being able to double click the image and treat it like you would any real DVD (via DVD player VLC or any other).
    Have fun, Baryo.

  • I am wondering what is the best way to merge a very large iphoto library (from my MBP) to my new iMac (which has a few hundred photos on it now), and then upgrade to Aperture?

    I have about 50GB of photos on my old MBP iphoto library.
    I have a new iMac with a few hundred photos that I've uploaded since I bought it last December.
    The iMac is where I want to keep everything stored as my main photo library, and manage it with a new Aperture installation. 
    Before I go and do this, and possibly muck it all up,
    I would like to figure out the proper steps.
    I am not too familiar with how to transfer files in the first place, so any help for a beginner would be much appreciated.
    Starting from how to safely move the files from the MBP to the iMac, if anyone could walk me through this process.
    I've been searching around but I have a specific goal (with getting everything into Aperture) so I don't want to get crossed up. 
    Thanks for your help!!

    I have about 50GB of photos on my old MBP iphoto library.
    To be able to merge your libraries, your Aperture version and iPhoto version must match. For basic reading see: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
    and Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
    Assuming you are running the latest Aperture and iPhoto versions:
    Before merging libraries ensure that your iPhoto Library has no issues. While still on your old mac run the "library first aid tools" on your iPhoto Library. Hold down the key combination ⌥⌘ and double click your iPhoto Library, then select "Repair database".
    Make sure you have a backup of your current Aperture Library and iPhoto library.
    Do both macs have a FireWire port? Then you could connect your macs in Target Disk Mode:
    See OS X Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
    This way your new mac could see your old mac as an external disk and you could copy directly between the macs.
    Otherwise copy your iPhoto library by drag-and-drop to an external disk (on your old mac) and connect that disk to your new mac. Check, if the external drive is formatted for mac (MacOS X Extended (Journaled)). Otherwise reformat it, before you copy the iPhoto library to that drive.
    When your iPhoto Library has been moved to your new Mac launch Aperture and use the command "File > Import > Library" from the main menu bar. If there are duplicates in the Aperture library (if you imported earlier from iPhoto) you may be prompted if you want to "Add" or "Merge". If you have lots of duplicates, pick "Merge", otherwise "Add".
    Post back, if you need more detailed instructions.
    Good Luck.

    Nick,
    You will need a Windows PC with iTunes running and a working copy of Windows Media Player available on the machine.  (iTunes calls WMP for the conversion from WMA).  Then just drag the WMA file(s) into the iTunes Music window.
    iTunes will detect it and give you the dialog shown below, to which you choose "Convert."  iTunes will create a new version in the format/bitrate set in your Import preferences (MP3 in my example below), and immediately add it to your iTunes library.
    The WMA original will be left in place, so you can delete it if you have no other need for it.

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • What is the best way to connect a MacBook Pro to my HiFi system ?

    Hi,
    I'm new to Apple support communities having just bought my first Macbook Pro (a 17" 2.5GHz i7 model) and this is my very first community post.
    Im a bit of a Hi-Fi enthusiast, so, with my new MacBook Pro I've taken the opportunity of completely reloading my iTunes library in high quality Apple Lossless format. Took a while but now I've completed the task Im pleased I've done it.
    My question is, what is the best way to connect a Macbook Pro to a high quality Hi-Fi preamp - my Hi-fi system is musical Fidelity, and the pre amp (an A5  CR Pre amp) and this pre amp, which has superb audio quality, only has analogue phono inputs ? 
    I'm interested to understand what both the wired and wireless connection options are. I'm guessing one option must be to use the headphone output, but I have no idea if the output from the headphone socket on my new macbook (which is presumably designed to drive headphones) would be at a suitable level for a phono line level input ?
    Ive also read a few comments about using digital connection - and my second question would be - what is the audio digital connection on my macbook ?
    Aplogies if this question has been asked lots of times before but I've looked through some previous posts and can't find any answers in simple and straightforward language concentrating on the issue of connecting a MacBook Pro to an analogue phono pre amp input ?
    Thanks in anticipation of some advice.

    What is the best way to connect a MacBook Pro to my HiFi system?
    Look at the back of the reciever and see what your connection options are, the front headphone jack is output usually.
    The Mac's  analog audio in/out ports doubles as a optical in/out ports.
    The analog won't over power your amp, it's just a headphonejack, like a powered mic, just enough power to get the signal to the destination in one piece.
    Since you have a analog amp, your stuck with inferior analog connections, however you mentioned you wish to listen to the best sound quality of your lossless music.
    To do that your going to need a decent surround sound system with Toslink optical import jacks, a Toslink stereo jack to regular Toslink adapter, Toslink cable and enable the optical output in your System Preferences >Sound
    Another method is to use a Airport Express, it also has duo analog/opical out port. Then set up the Airport Express for iTunes streaming using the Airport Utility, then in iTunes setup the lower right corner one can set the connection.
    I recommned a Harmon Kardon surround sound system, with their 100 watt satelight speakers and the 200 watt subwoofer. Enable the "concert hall" and other neat effects which will turn your 2.0 (stereo) iTunes music into 4 channel speaker sound filling the room with music and sending the lower channels to the subwoofer.
    It will likely bring tears to your eyes that you can actually hear the full quality of your music as intended, I almost quarranty you will never want listen to music on a crappy iPhone or iPod again.
    If a surround sound system is out of your budget, you can get by using the Harmon Kardon "Go Play" portable stereo and a analog stereo cable.
    If your going to use your analog amp to power reference speakers, then there are various analog adapters of all sorts to make the appropriate connections once you know what they are, check out Radio Shack online for them.

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
    Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac" and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
    Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction.  Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
    4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
    5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    6. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
    While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
    7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. A computing device is not something you should have to think about very much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that is always whining for your attention like a neurotic dog, use a PC.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • What's the best way to connect the audio out of my Mac to my stereo receiver?

    I want to listen to my mp3 collection through my home theatre stero receiver.
    I have 2 audio interfaces that I connect to my mac through USB and Firewire: Digi Design Mbox mini and Maudio ProFire 610.
    I've tried going from a headphone 1/8'' connector from the headphone out of my mac to rca connected to the aux (or whatever) of my stereo.
    I've tried using a 1/4'' adapter on the 1/8'' to go from my mbox mini's headphone output to the rca aux on my stereo.
    The problem is I'm hearing distortions that sound like clipping, or static, crunchiness on certain frequencies in a lot of my mp3's that shouldn't be there.
    I listen to lots of music, and a lot of it uses distortion, like shoegaze, drone etc but I know what I'm hearing is unnatural.
    I even hear these flaws when I listen to headphones through the headphone out of my mbox.
    Page 2 on this instruction manual says I should be able to go from the monitor outs to my stereo. The monitor outs are 1/4 inch out so I figured I would need a 1/4 inch to rca cable.
    I got this one from monster thinking it should work. No dice.
    So my question is, what is the best way to connect my mac to my stereo? I need to avoid these distortions and flaws in the audio i'm hearing or I will go nuts.
    Why might I be getting these clipping distoritons?
    any advice would be fantastic

    It depends on how close the receiver is to the iMac. If it's just a few feet away you need at cable like:
    http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-THINTOSMIN6-Toslink-Digital-Optical/dp/B00016 W6Y6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1316096392&sr=8-2
    However if the receiver is across the room or the house you would be best to enable Air Play, this enables you to wirelessly connect the receiver to the iMac. You will need the above cable and an Airport Express. If you are not familiar with Air Play navigate to:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/airplay/
    I have been using it for quite some time and find it great. If you are not familiar with the Airport Express here is the link to it:

    You can even find refurbished ones on Apples website for about $79.

  • What is the best way to make music in Logic pro8?

    ok, Im using a Mac, 3 external keyboards,a profire 2626 (audio interface) and a MIDI sport (midi interface). I am wanting to track in the audio from the 3 keyboards as MIDI. I wanted to know what is the best way to do this? Is it required to record the audio and MIDI at the same time? When i do do this, (record MIDI and Audio simultaniously), i get this doubling effect after the loop comes back, because of the MIDI and the Audio tracks combined. Arent you supposed to create some kind of Aux track to avoid this so, you can monitor what you just made so this "doubling effect" isnt heard?...another question. I am experiencing latency and it doesnt make sense. I have a low buffer size (32), but i only experience it when i play the space bar or hit record, not if im just sitting there hitting keys..however, I found a trick to avoid this, but here is where it doesnt make sense. If i go to Settings>Synchronization>MIDI...then set my Transmit MIDI Clock Destination to (ALL)...i hear the Latency wehne i hit space bar or record..But if i deselect All...and choose MIDI Sport Port 1...or port 2....there is no latency when i hit space bar or record.. and this doesnt make sense to me because i have 3 keyboards in Ports 1-3..so why wont the destination work better on All?....ok,,that sums it up ..thanks

    There are many different ways to use Logic. You will develop your own technique as you gain experience with it. The doubling you are experiencing is because the midi track is being sent back into your instrument as you record.. Shut off local control on your keyboard. Or temporarily assign the midi track you are recording to an instrument that is NOT being sent back to the same instrument..
    If you are recording three midi keyboards at once, make sure each one is sending on a different midi channel, also make sure that midi instruments are NOt sending back to your keyboards.
    Getting rid of latency is another problem. I am not familiar with MIDI sport. What you want to do is listen to a LIVE input (coming directly from instrument) - then turn the level down on the corresponding track you are recording into Logic. If your audio interface won't let you do that you must turn the audio buffer down as low as your computer will allow without distortion.

  • What is the best way of compressing a large 3 hour final cut file

    What is the best way of compressing a large 3 hour final cut file. I shot the play and it is in final cut and I rndered it so now I have a 22gb file that I need to put on a dvd . Any suggestions
    Thanks
    Macbook Pro
    2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    with Final Cut Pro 7.0.3
    using Lion as operating system

    Presuming your menus aren't complicated(include audio or video) the total size for the MPG-2 and AC3 files should probably be under 8GB for a dual layer disk. The inspector will tell you the estimated size. 2-pass varible bit rate would be recommended.
    Trying to fit 3 hours on a DVD-5 will only bring very noticable quality hits. Compressor will let you change the average bit rate so that you can fit 174 minutes but trade-off isn't worth it in my opinion.
    Be aware that dual-layer -R and +R media may not play well for everyone everywhere.
    I presume you are not making 1000 or more copies? If you were replication could solve this.
    One other alternative would be to break-up the show into two parts and spread it across two DVD-5s.

    You may be surprised at how easy it is...
    With the exception of cameras (webcams especially) Macs are pretty much "Plug &Play" with anything USB, and even though I've never used one, reviews say you just plug the turntable in and it reads as a drive.

  • What Is The Best Way To Connect Ipod To Stereo Reciever With High Quality?

    I recently purchased an 80 gig and am a newbie. I ripped all my music at around 280kbps to retain good audio quality when playing in my car and home theatre system. There are tons of accesories out there (docks, jacks, etc) which is the highest quality to connect my Yamaha receiver. I would think a connection to the bottom of my ipod would be of a higher quality rather than using the headphone jack. Any suggestions would be great. I was thinking about using the monster itv link but mostly for audio. thanks

    OK - So now that you have all completely ignored the original question - in hopes of proving your manly-hood....
    Does anyone have an answer to the original question....
    "What is the best way to connect to a high end home stereo to retain the best sound?"
    For sure any connection going through the headphone jack will be a big step back - enough so that you would easily hear a sound quality loss in doing so.
    For the few of you who would like to argue/bicker/rant on the nominal sound quality loss....keep on doing so, but for those who actually have some respectable advice we would love to hear it.
    For the record, I tend to hear just outside the normal human auditory range...
    To help myself put it to rest already... a few years back I decided to conduct my own little listening test.
    I took 6 different common ripping modalities (from lossless - to - 128kbps in both MP3 & AAC.... then transfered all of them in order to a blank. Used the same song for each - the song chosen opened with a few clean crisp bars of high freq. music, followed by an instant explosion/drop into a tight & low bassline.
    The final cutoff that was achieved before I was unable to detect an audible difference was 198 VBR AAC. Having convinced myself that there was the ever sooooooo slight difference b/t 198 & 256, I went with my current ripping status of 256.... Just incase my audible range should become finally honed with age (yeah, like that is really going to happen) !
    This test was run over a Yamaha DSP receiver, running at a constant 110w per channel (w/a max of 220w). The speaker setup was a full surround set of Klipsch Reference Series..... each speaker housing 2 x 6.5 woofer (each housing 2 x 1" Titanium tweeters) And sitting along side the 5 surrounds was/is a 150w continuous 12in. Subwoofer.
    Now I am hardly stating that I have hearing as good as some of you extremely technically profound music enthusiasts out there, but for the majority of people making comments about sound quality, and lack there of - when played over a $120/40w Audiovox radio.... I'm sorry, but I would have to side on that of......"Hogwash, that you can hear a difference!"
    So.... if possible would someone please offer some advice on a dock or cable connection that will allow us to enjoy the music we ripped at whatever
    so-called range we did!
    For those interested in seeing who could hit the further bullseye with their eyes closed, You win!!! Now can you help us?
