Automatically adjust levels in a track to create a common "volume"

Sorry for the dumb question but I am totally new to audio.
I have recorded a conference where there were multiple speakers sitting different distances away from 2 microphones. Therefore, the levels of each speaker are different due to their differing distances from the microphones. Is there a way to quickly process the audio to adjust for these fluctuations in volume without having to go through it manually and turn up or down each speaker?
Thanks,
Tom

You can try the Normalize (RMS) effect and also work with the compressor/limiter effect.
I suspect it will still take a lot of hand work to tweek it.
Good luck.

Automatic revision level in CS01 on initial create

Hi, I have a task to find out about BOM revision levels and if they can be automatically created when the BOM is created in CS01. Our users are imaging that the step of choosing extras, next revision level will be too much for them to remember. This would be for the rev level to automatically be created based on auth group and change master, but for the initial create and also the subsequent revsions. They just don't want to manually choose the next revision level. Is this a configurable option? I have looked at OS54 and we have it set to automatc revision levels, but that is not what is happening with this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
The automatic revision level assignment is not meant for this purpose.
I think there is no standard functionality to automatically assign revision levels to BOMs, it can be done through development.

Automatically adjust levels to certain db?

is there a way I can tell final cut pro to take all my audio levels from clips in the timeline and make everything at -12db or do I have to watch the sequence and do everything manual?
FCP 5.1.4

Not automatically. That's what editors are for. You can add a compressor/limiter filter to help keep the louder parts within range.
But in order to have good audio, you must maintain a realistic dynamic range for the audio track. Audio is rarely at one level only; there are loud parts, soft parts and quiet parts. If everything were at the same level, it wouldn't sound realistic at all. Use -12db as an AVERAGE level; not as an absolute level.

How to use "Adjustment Level " in automatic adjustments rule

Now we are setting up BPC for legal consolidation.
we use BPC 7.0MS SP4 Version.
I want to use some result of automatic adjustment rules for source data, so I tried to use adjustment level in automatic adjustments rules.
I was setting up A rule's (to use source data) adjustment level is 0 and B rule's level is 1,
the result of SPRUNCONSO were "Error" CSD-150 and CSD-160.
Please let me know how to use adjustment level option.
Thanks.

Automatic adjusting of the volum level

Does anybody know in witch way/how the player does the automatic adjusting of the volum level? How does the automatic adjusting of the volum level work? Is it just the decibel that is "normalising"? How does the player measure it? Are the frequenses exactly the same in a song/tune after the automatic adjusting?
Is there anything else in the sound that is influenced in any way?

Again, camickr is great, and, clever.
Here's the working code basing on his suggestion.
It is my first time for calling prepareRenderer() from within application code.
I have had overridden it many times in the past, though.
    width = 0;
    cc = table.getColumnCount();
    rc = table.getRowCount();
    for (int c = 0; c < cc; ++c){
      maxcw = 0;
      for (int r = 0; r < rc; ++r){
        Component compo
         = table.prepareRenderer(table.getCellRenderer(r, c), r, c);
        int w = compo.getPreferredSize().width;
        if (w > maxcw){
          maxcw = w;
      maxcw += 7; // somehow, this handcraft is necessary
      table.getColumn(table.getColumnName(c)).setPreferredWidth(maxcw);
      width += maxcw;
    height = (table.getRowCount() + 1) * table.getRowHeight(); // +1 == header
    js.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width, height));
    // js is a JScrollPane enclosing the table

Hi Nilanjan
I have 2 rules in the Automatic adjustments table:
In short, Rule 1 should be executed first as Rule 2 should be based on the results of rule 1.
Rule 1: Non Group part cancellation for Proportionate units
Adjustment level = 0
Adjustment type = Proportional
Rule 2: Inter-company elimination
Here the adjustment level = 1
Adjustment type = Generic
When i run the following stored procedure:
*RUN_STORED_PROCEDURE = SPRUNCONSO(%APP%, %CATEGORY_SET%,%CONSOSCOPE_SET%, %SCOPETABLE%,%LOGTABLE%)
The correct results are posted but the package displays as failed with the error message as per the first message in this thread.
The help states the following, which is exactly what i need:
Adjustment level
This field must contain an integer value ranging from 0 to 99 and can be used to order the sequence of execution of the various ELIM rules, if desired.

Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

Can I have multiple volume levels in one track?

I have a track composed of audio from a cassette recorder of a now deceased relative's voice.
Since the cassette was turned on and off during recording, the recordings are at different volumes.
I have been able to import the cassette into a GarageBand project, and delete dead space, but now I find that the volume is not consistent.
Any way to remedy that? I am wondering if I need to chop it up and make more than one track, and adjust the volume on each track? Will this work as long as the tracks don't overlap?
And then do I send the finished product to iTunes in order to be able to use it in an iMovie?
Or can I drag it right from GarageBand to iMovie?
Many thanks, I'm a very new GarageBand user.

Is there any function to automatically adjust the voice volume in the multitrack

I'm trying to mix voice sounds and music files into one track. Sounds easy! But almost every music has its loud parts(for example the climax) and quiet parts. Therefore when i listen to the voice and the music at the same time, the voice files are sometimes relatively too quiet and sometimes to loud. I don want to adjust the volume pan one part after another because I have a lot of files to mix. Could you tell me is there any function I can use to automatically adjust the voice volume to make it always 'just a bit higher than the music'? Or can I read some documents about this problem?
Thank you very much!

Sounds like you want to do what is called "ducking" & "side chaining".
First try using a compressor and or limiter on the voice tracks to get a more even volume.
Google: Audio Ducking tons of stuff on how to.
I myself have never tried this with Audition, or the compressors that come with it. I have done it in other multitrack software and older versions of Dave Browns Compressor.

Rich: calendar problem when automatically adjust clock for daylight saving

Hello, I'm in trouble when the option to automatically adjust clock for daylight saving time is marked. My locale is pt_BR, and when I try to select the day it simply returns to 17.10.2010 on 16.10.2010 took the test in the following component and realized that the same problem occurs when the Windows clock option is selected .
http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/calendar.jsf?tab=usage&cid=15374785
I also noticed that this problem occurs in all components of the JSF schedule, no matter what the distribution
http://www.primefaces.org:8080/prime-showcase/ui/calendarDisplay.jsf
Question is, how to make the jsf solve this problem without having to uncheck the Windows clock?
See below for the following attempts to try to fix the problem:
faces-config.xml file
    <locale-config>
         <default-locale> en </ default-locale>
         <supported-locale> en_US </ supported-locale>
         <supported-locale> of </ supported-locale>
         <supported-locale> fr </ supported-locale>
        <supported-locale> es </ supported-locale>
        <default-time-zone-id> Brazil / East </ default-time-zone-id>
    </locale-config>
{code}
Created file DateTimeZoneConverter
{code:java}
import java.util.SimpleTimeZone;
import javax.faces.convert.DateTimeConverter;
public class extends DateTimeZoneConverter DateTimeConverter {
     public DateTimeZoneConverter () {
        super ();
        SimpleTimeZone stz = new SimpleTimeZone (7200000, "Brazil/East");
        this.setTimeZone (stz);
{code}
In the example above I'm forcing the useDaylight is false.
In component:
{code:java}
<rich:calendar id = "periodoVigencia" enableManualInput = "true" datePattern = "dd / MM / yyyy" inputSize = "10"
           value = "# () contratoMBeanList.criteria.dataInicioVigencia"
           label = "# (msg ['contrato.consultarContrato.field.periodovigencia.label'])">
           <f:convertDateTime pattern="dd/MM/yyyy" type="date" dateStyle="short" timeZone="GMT-3"/>
</rich:calendar>
{code}
and in the web.xml file
{code:java}
<context-param>
     <param-name> timezone </ param-name>
      <param-value> GMT-3 </ param-value>
</context-param>
{code}
But nothing worked. And now what do I do? How to fix this problem, there are some more configuration to be done? Help, please!
P.S.:Apologize for my english, I'm Brazilian.

Like I said, were attempts to resolve the error.
OK, now how to solve this problem? Try the test in your area by selecting the day that DST occurs, you will see what will happen the same problem (to select the day that DST occurs on the screen will return one day less), do the test with the demos that I put in the first post, rich: calendar and prime: calendar.
I do not know if it helps, but I noticed the firebug firefox debugging, it does not matter the way you change the locale or timezone, as the current date from the calendar javascript will always be the standard of the machine running the component.

Design Studio Scripting function "refresh" to reload the BI LaunchPad Browser Window and solve the automatic adjustment

Hi experts,
I have created a Design Studio application with GridLayout Components to ensure the automatic adjustment.
In the local mode everything works fine! If I maximize or minimize the browser window the automatic adjustment of the design studio application works absolutely correct.
If I execute the same Design Studio Application in SAP BI LaunchPad the automatic window adjustment works only fine if I refresh the Browser window after minimize or maximize.
Example:
Mnimized and refreshed Browser window (good):
Maximzed and not refreshed Browser window (bad):
To fix this issue, Is there a workaround with a scripting funtion (e.g. ".refresh") to give the user the possibility to reload the browser window by a button or icon?
By the way, the issue and the Todo "Refresh" is valid in Design- and Runtime!
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Isn't this issue fixed in 1.2 SP1?
In any case if you want to manual refresh you have to redraw the chart, this can be achieved by,
reloading data source,
change some selection in the chart,
or change the data source, (apply filter,swap dimensions etc.)

Automatic adjustements to RAW image?

Hi,
I am fairly new to using Lightroom and I wondered if someone might be able to help....
I notice that when i import RAW images into Lightroom and open them up, they immediately become dull, less vibrant and very different o the in-camera image. I have tried to find whether there is asetting which applied automatic adjustements to the image but have been unsuccessful. This doesn't seem to happen when i use the Canon RAW processing software. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

It might be that a preset is being applied to your photos during import.
Make sure that no auttone is applied. Go >Edit >Preferences >Presets tab and make sure that <Apply auto tone adjustments> is un-checked. See screen shot:
When you import images into Lr, on the right side in the Import Dialog under <Apply during Import> make sure that <None> is selected. See screen shot:
Irrespective of that, your image will look different than on your camera display.
It is sometimes assumed that the image on camera display must be the "correct" image. That is not so. The camera creates a tiny JPG for display that is not representative of the Raw image. Lr gives you a better rendition of your image.
If it looks flat and dull - that is not a flaw. Contrast and saturation or vibrancy can always and easily be adjusted. In fact, a flat looking image is easier to work with.
A "crispy" looking image seems "better" at first. But often the contrast and/or the saturation are too high and detail gets lost. This might not be visible on the screen but becomes apparent when the image is printed.
Aside from that: Lr can show you the image correctly only when your monitor is calibrated.

IText trouble with automatically adjustment of table width

With iText I an producing a PDF file with some elements. One of these is a table which is supposed to be centered.
In this table 2x2 with input form a Servlet. This input is a string of variable length, in other words I do not know the length of it.
I want this table to automatically adjust the cells width according to the length of the String. As I understand iText does not posess this functionality.
This is how I have created the table: The first column has a width of 0.3 because the values in those I allready know. The default value is centered and 80% span, and because of this the table is not centered according to the text since the content contains empty space, but the 80% span table is centered.
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);
float[] widths = { 0.3f, 0.8f };
table.setWidths(widths);How could I calculate this? The string has a font size of 22pt. Could I check for the number of chars in the String and adjust the width accordingly? It seems like I need to set the table.setWidthPercentage(50) in addition to the width size. But if I dont know the relationship between the width and percentages.
If I calculate the width to be 0.6f with font size 22 and length x, how much percentages should I use?

You need to use FontMetrics. In particular, use the FontMetrics of the table's renderer component so the string width will be calculated correctly even if the cell's value is bold. Something like this:
Component comp = table.getDefaultRenderer(Object.class).getTableCellRendererComponent(table, cellValue, false, false, row, column);
FontMetrics fm = comp.getFontMetrics(comp.getFont());
int cellWidth = fm.stringWidth(cellValue);
table.getColumnModel().getColumn(column).setWidth(cellWidth);

Automatically schedule FR or IR reports to create Excel files???

Hello,
My client asked me to 1) create reports against Essbase cubes, 2) automate the update of the reports to Excel files and 3) email the results to various people. In the first phase of this project I was able to do some of this as follows:
1) Created FR reports.
2) Scheduled the update of the FR reports to PDF files using the scheduler in Hyperion Workspace. NOTE: I created PDF files because that is the only thing that the scheduler can automatically produce from FR reports.
3) Created an Excel VBA application that emails the PDF files to a variable list of recipients (each report goes to a different list of people).
Now we are entering the second phase of this project and the client is asking to have the reports created in Excel files instead of PDF.
***** Questions *****
1) Can an IR report be scheduled using the Hyperion Scheduler in Hyperion Workspace to create Excel files?
2) Is there a utility (either Hyperion or other) that can convert PDF files to Excel files with the exact formatting of the original PDF?
Thank you,
Bill H

Thank you for your reply. After your reply I looked in the Hyperion Workspace User Guide and found how to schedule an IR report to create an Excel file. I think the next thing I am trying to determine is how to do "bursting" in IR. I currently have an FR report that gets data from Essbase. I have scheduled this in Workspace to run for all children of a member (or a different example would be all zero level decendants of a member). The Workspace scheduler allows me to create a file for each member and to add the member name to each filename so that they are different. Can I do the same type of thing with IR?
Thank you,
Bill H
