Are there a good set of filters to help me diminish the "tunnel" effect?

Hello!
I have some audio attached to an interview that was shot in the worst acoustics ever. The room makes the interviewee sound as if he's talking in a tunnel.
The video is AWESOME, but the audio however could use anything. Even just the slightest thing/filter will help.
Does Soundtrack have a couple filters that would help diminish this effect? Any advice, ideas, or shots in the dark could help... ; )
Thanks,
JS

The best filter to deal with crappy audio is an excellent set of headphones worn by someone who has the chops to ride herd on the audio levels and quality. I suppose this is one of those, live and learn experiences.
Other than paying attention at the time of recording, google "removing reverb from audio" and have fun reading. The basic problem is the stuff you want to remove is exactly in the same frequencies as what you want to save. Remove the reverb, you also remove the main audio.
If the reverb is much quieter than the main audio, you can try a noise gate. Don't add too much or the audio just pumps. Perhaps someone has recently invented a magic bullet for this problem but in my experience, the "rescued" audio often sounds worse than the original.
Good luck.

  • Are there any good code examples for displaying preview images in the storefront?

    I can gather other info using folio.xxx, but can not find any good examples to use for preview images.  Tried folio.getPreviewImage() with no success.  Oh, I should mention it is version 2.  Plenty of examples for version 1.
    Perhaps if I get a little more specific.
    I am calling up the folios via:
           adobeDPS.libraryService.folioMap.addedSignal.add(function(folios) {
                for (var i = 0; i < folios.length; i++) {
                    addFolio(folios[i]);
            }, this);
    This eventually works into a function where I am gathering and displaying folio data:
         var productId = folio.productId;
        var html  = "<div id='" + productId + "'>";
            html +=     "<a href='#'><img class='shadow' width='120' src='' border=0 /></a>";
            html +=     "<br /><span class='bold'>" + folio.title + "</span>";
            html += "</div>";
        this.$el = $(html);
    folio.title works fine to pull up the title, but I can no longer use folio.getPreviewURL in v2.  What code should I be using to set the src to the preview image?
    Thanks

    Have you looked at the default implementations of the library?
    In FolioItemView's render function, there is a function(follow the nested functions!):
    setTimeout(function(){ scope.loadPreviewImage() }, 100);
    It references this function (this doesn't copy well):
    loadPreviewImage: function() {
    if (this.el.parentElement) {
    var transaction = this.folio.getPreviewImage(135, 180, true);
    transaction.completedSignal.addOnce(this.getPreviewImageHandler, this);
    Going deeper, into the getPreviewImageHandler function is where you see the url value..
    if (transaction.state == adobeDPS.transactionManager.transactionStates.FINISHED && transaction.previewImageURL != null) {
                                  this.$el.find(".folio-thumb").attr("src", transaction.previewImageURL);
    Within the example is also code for supplying a preview when the Adobe API is not available:
    (Within the render function)
    var json = this.model.toJSON();
    $folioThumb.attr("src", json.libraryPreviewUrl);
    If you're making any changes to where the preview is displayed, you can just swap out the class ".folio-thumb" to whatever the class (or id) is of the element you're wanting to render the preview in.

  • Are there other good browsers for 10.4?

    I have been having Safari problems that I cant sort out. Are there other good browsers even better?
    Bob

    Hi, Bob.
    I use OmniWeb. IMO far superior to Safari for the following reasons:
    1. Try disabling animations in Safari, a basic function in other browsers, including OmniWeb: nowhere to be found in Safari.
    2. OmniWeb provides sophisticated content filtering, built-in and easily tailored. I virtually never see advertising. Other than popup blocking, Safari has no such built-in capability.
    3. With OmniWeb, you can selectively disable plugins. With other browsers, disabling plugins is all-or-nothing. I run with Flash disabled (no annoying Flash ads) but can still use other plugin-dependent content, like QuickTime. Once again, Safari can't do this: plugins are all-or-nothing.
    4. With OmniWeb, you can set site-specific preferences. For example, you may have one site on which you like the links to be underlined, but on other sites you do not want underlined links. Once again, something Safari cannot do.
    5. OmniWeb is far more stable: I can't recall the last time OmniWeb crashed. Safari seems to be crash-prone and particularly subject to cache errors.
    6. The OmniWeb folks actually listen to their registered users. I submitted requirements like #1 above via the Safari feedback and no joy. I suggested #3 to the OmniWeb folks and it was in the next release.
    OmniWeb is available as a free trial. It's worth the license fee.
    Good luck!

  • Are there any good third party or otherwise apps and/or plugins for imovie'11?

    Are there any good third party or otherwise apps and/or plugins for imovie'11?

    Re: Plugins for iMovie 11
    Someone just asked this question yesterday. So I am cutting and pasting the answer From Bengt Warleby
    Hi
    You can not.
    Nor to iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - They do not accept any Plug-ins.
    How about FinalCut Pro X - I don't know but i regard to Apple way of progress - I doubt
    For iMovie up to HD6 and FinalCut Express and FinalCut Pro up to 7.0 - there are plenty.
    Yours Bengt W

  • Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

    Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

    This comes up a lot these days.
    Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100),  Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent),  find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd  party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
    The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
    Good luck.

        lovethoseleaves,
    Oh no! I am saddened to hear that you are having troubles with your MMS pictures. I know that this can be an important thing to be able to do. I appreciate you working with us to get this matter resolved as well. I see that you have spent time working with us, and I know that can also be frustrating. There are a few things we can check though. Are these to any specific numbers or all? A factory reset certainly should've resolved this. We can check into the account set up as well for that if need be. Please share any additional details that you can think of. Thanks.

  • I have been taking photos for years and have thousands.  When I use Apple TV screen saver, it seems only to grab a handfull and repeats them.  Is there a configuration setting that will allow me to have the screen saver grab more than just a few?  Thanks.

    I have been taking photos for years and have thousands.  When I use Apple TV screen saver, it seems only to grab a handfull and repeats them.  Is there a configuration setting that will allow me to have the screen saver grab more than just a few?  Thanks.

    The device has an 8GB drive for caching streamed meida, a small portion of that is used to temporarily store photos for the screensaver. It may vary depending on resolution etc but it seems to be around 100.

  • My iphoto pictures are there but doesnot show them.  I see them on the above line but the each individual picture is a blank

    my iphoto pictures are there but doesnot show them.  I see them on the above line but the each individual picture is a blank

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • When I start firefox, the previous tabs are there but blank and say new tab, can I restore the tabs?

    When I start firefox, the previous tabs are there but blank and say new tab, can I restore the tabs?
    how can I do this?

    I'm not sure what causes this.
    As the first step, I recommend backing up your existing sessionstore files.
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Scroll down to the files whose names start with sessionstore. You should find at least sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. If the .js extension does not appear on sessionstore, you should turn off the Windows feature that hides file extensions from you, so that you can work with file names as accurately as possible. This Microsoft support article has the steps: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219].
    Make backup copies of all the sessionstore files to somewhere like your Documents folder for possible later restoration.
    Next, try one of the data mining techniques in these posts to rescue the URLs from the sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file:

    Are there any free TV channels that can be received on the Apple TV?

    No, it's not a TV tuner.  It's primarily marketed as a rental vehicle for iTunes store movies/purchases and for playback of compatible (see specs) media from iTunes.
    Some subscription streams are available eg Netflix, MLB as well as youTube and some limited internet content (no browser).
    Check the Apple tech pages.
