An odd program... or do I have no idea what I'm doing here?

I've been trying to take out some room noise from an hour and a half long talk given by a man at my university. I understand how the de-noiser works, but when I try to use it Soundtrack Pro locks up on me and crashes. I also thought to try the "Phase Analysis", but after two and a half hours I came to think it had locked up as well, although honestly "Force Quit" had not said it was not responding. However that's longer than a real time analysis would have been. These are the only things I've tried, and neither have worked. Is an hour and a half too long for SP to view, that is, should I break it into smaller pieces somehow? Is SP only good for adding smaller bits of audio to a previously assembled movie? Or am I doing something very wrong here? The format is, incidentally, a .mov that I had edited in Avid Xpress and exported with the Sorensen Squeeze attached to that, uncompressed, and is 20.24 GB in size. Thanks for your help, L

I wish I could say things were going better- by losing the video, I am able to import the audio into SP. It will then check for phase, hum, etc... but then it will only reluctantly allow me to put an EQ or noise reducer on it. If I play the audio to hear what I've done, when I stop it, the program begins to stutter. This is probably the fault of my soundcard, which is an M-Audiophile 192, not the best. Also I tried just putting the whole audio track in, not breaking it up into 10 minute bits. It's only 1.55 GB, I was hoping that could be OK, but I guess it's still too much for the program. It's not that important, the only one who cares about the quality of the sound is myself, and only just to learn SP. I'm confused about how to export the changes I have made, however. I ended up working with the audio in Logic, got it OK, and then it didn't link up to the video in Avid, like I might have guesses. These are things I'll just have to learn though- again, thanks for your help. If you have any advice I'd sure love it, either way, I'm done for now... I'll mark this as closed tomorrow after I see if you have any more. Thanks, L Mollard

    Help, i am trying to print my JPEG file that i created in photoshop at a photo lab but it is coming out like an X-ray. I have printed these files before so i have no idea what i am doing wrong.
    Could it be something i have done in my settings?
    or when i am saving the file to JPEG?

    Basically you're approaching this the wrong way around. What you need is the extreme sections to be quieter, not louder. The problem with moving the lower end of the audio is that you'll move the noise floor too, and get what's generally referred to as a 'pumping' effect. So what you do is to use a compressor to tame the peaks, and leave the lower level sound alone. When you've done that, you amplify (or normalize to a level you can determine) the whole signal. So the noise floor will be higher, but constant and not pumping. 'Match Volume' is a completely different tool for setting the overall levels of different tracks so that they sound approximately the same - it doesn't even begin to do what you want.
    If it's music you are treating, then I'd almost certainly use the multiband compressor, because you get less artefacts with this. You need to experiment with the threshold levels, and almost certainly not use a massive compression ratio - 3:1 or 4:1 should be sufficient (although it's hard to tell without actually hearing the audio). You can tell what it's doing at any given point because the downward meter indicates how hard it's working. In theory you can apply make-up gain with it as well, but personally I leave that until everything's treated and use the 'Normalize' tool to set an absolute max level.

  • HT5706 Help!!  First of all I am a senior and have no idea what I am doing.  Turned on the Apple TV and it said downloading the latest update.  It show the apple symbol and below a empty download line.  Nothing seems to be happening.  Is it downloading?

    Help!!  First of all I am a senior and have no idea what I am doing.  Turned on the Apple tv and it said downloading the lastest -cannot remember the rest.
    There was a Apple symbol and a dowmload space under it.  Nothing is happening.  It has been about 25 minutes.  What do I do??

    It probably did not turn itself off. It most likely went into "sleep".
    Did you try to restart the Apple TV? That is what solved the problem for me.
    Go to the main AppleTV menu - you might have to press the Menu button a couple of times to get there - select Settings, then Select General, scroll down to Restart and select that.
    As long as you don't have a "Do not unplug" message on your screen, unplugging the power cable, waiting a minute, then plugging it back in should accomplish the same thing. I always prefer using the menu method over unplugging.
    If that doesn't work, I fear you might have to contact Apple. They will likely tell you to restore your AppleTV to factory settings. That will be a pain in the neck since they will need to walk you through it. They might do that for you at an Apple store. I'm a senior citizen too, and it's easy for me to look helpless - even though I've worked in computers and networking for a very long time.
    Sorry I can't offer any better advice.

  • I have no idea what I am doing....please help....nothing works

    Hows that for a subject???
    I am trying to use the SAP NetWeaver 7.02 trial. Never seen SAP before. I have completed the install, but I cannot login. I can open the SAP MMC, the database manager, sql studio. But I when I open SAP Logon 720, I don't know any valid users I can use. I have tried DDIC and SAP. In fact I tried DDIC so many times, its locked. Took a long time, but I finally figured out how to go into the database and delete the SAP user for client 001. But SAP* still does not work with password PASS or pass.
    Is there something obvious I have missed??? I have seen many posts that talk about running some transaction, but I am thinking that needs to be done after I logon. What do I do???

    Well I could not find an exact match to the path you mentioned.
    I went to \usr\sap\nsp\dvebmgs00 but there is no profile directory. I also tried \usr\sap\nsp\sys\profile and did find a nsp_dvebmgs00_sap file, but there isn't any login/no_automatic_user_sapstar.
    I went ahead and added a line for it and expected it to not work. But I just tried it and I am logged in. Thanks so much for solving this!

  • Someone help! I have no idea what I am doing!

    I have a 80gb iPod that we just bought from a friend. Somehow I managed to delete all the songs he had on there which was like 2,000. I'm not really worried about that. Problem is..how do I get music on my iPod from my computer? I've also tried adding music to the Library in iTunes and it has stored to the recently added list. SO in other words I just dont know what the heck to do. Now I have a Pod with nothing on it. Any advice? Thanks!

    Awesome, we've made progress!
    Okay, so the problem seems to be in that iTunes can't find your songs (like you said).
    So let's try this:
    Open up the iTunes preferences, Edit>Preferences for a PC. Click the advanced tab. Now make sure the Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized box is checked, as well as Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library checkbox.
    Click OK.
    If these checkboxes weren't already checked, then iTunes will take some time to copy your library.
    If you already had the checkboxes checked, and nothing happens when you click OK, click Advanced, then Consolidate Library. This will copy your library again.
    If no error messages pop up during the copy, you're set. Right click the iPod (Bigdogs iPod, as yours has been named), and left click Sync.
    If error messages pop up during the copying library process, complaining about not being able to find files, it means you've actually somehow moved or deleted the songs that you added to iTunes. Delete the references to the songs in question from iTunes, re-add them again and then sync the ipod over again.
    Good luck and keep us up to date on your progress!
    Skip.

  • I need to download a newer version of itunes on my 10 year old mac. I can no longer sync my iphone to my computer itunes without this update. I have tried unsuccessfully 4 times, and have no idea what I am doing wrong. Suggestions anyone?

    Tell me how to download a newer version of itunes on my old mac so i can it will sync to my iphone please.

    Click here, buy and install the DVD, and then run Software Update twice. If you're actually using Mac OS X Server, you'll need to phone the online Apple Store instead of using the link I posted.

  • I copied a power point presentation to my documents, now i want to send it to iTunes so I can load it onto my iPad..I have no idea what I am doing

    I am taking a class and the instructors gave us a flashdrive with the power point presentations for the whole class on it. I copied it to my documents but now I want to put it on my ipad and I don't know how. I added the app Keynote but I don't know what else to do.

    You won't be able to open it on your computer, ibooks can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. How were you trying to get it to your phone, syncing it by selecting it on the iPhone's Books tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, or by dragging-and-dropping it from the Books part of your iTunes library over and onto the iPhone 'device' ?  Another option is to try re-downloading it directly in the iBooks app on your iPhone via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in it (re-downloading).

    My imac screen display is unfocussed, odd coloured and blurred (caused by rogue cate walking over keyboard).  I have no idea what settings have changed or what to check.  Any ideas?!

    It could be a number of keyboard shortcuts, here's a few.
    If the screen is zoomed,  hold CNTL and scroll down with mouse or trackpad.
    If screen looks like a negative,  hold down CNTL OPT CMD and click 8.
    Let us know how what other symptoms are shown.

  • I have a MacBook Pro, Matshita UJ-857E while recording music my drive reported an error: Sense Key=HARDWARE ERROR Sense Code=0x03,0x01 I have no idea what this means, and now my cd burner/player won't work. can someone help me fix this problem?

    Please Help me. I am having problems with my MATSHITA UJ-857E DVD-R burner/writer. I burned 4 cd's and then it stopped working.
    I can select my songs, and then it asks for a blank disc. It starts preparing to write the disc,then it says,"
    The drive reported an error: Sense Key= HARDWARE ERROR Sense Code= 0x09,0x01 TRACKING SERVO FAILURE.
    Can anyone give me some advice on how to fix it or what this means because I have no idea what it is talking about or how to begin to fix the problem?

    This is an error reported by the optical drive's firmware. The tracking servo is the servomechanism which guides the laser pickup along the track on the optical disc. The error means that the servo couldn't do its job within the programmed parameters. What it doesn't say is why.
    You have to be very precise as to when this error occurs. If it occurs as you wrote, while it "starts preparing to write the disc", and not when it has actually began to burn, then it's likely that the drive has gone bad and needs to be replaced.
    There are other possibilities, so you should check them, but they would be more likely if the error occurred after the drive began to write. OrangeMarlin has suggested two options -- try a different brand of CD or DVD, and try cleaning the lens.

    You cannot download the upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
