Background Talking During Band Concert

I video-taped my son's middle school outside band concert and the people next to us would not stop talking. An hour and a half of band music with people non-stop talking mixed in. Is there a way to remove this chatter without degrading the music? I tried removing background noise (50% and more), but it seems to also take away from the music. If there isn't a way, I guess I'll have to live with it; but I'd love to be able to remove it. I'm not proficient with this by any means, so if there is a way, please keep it real simple for me.

any thoughts?
Yes, use an audio editor to capture the sound rather than GB:

To get the sound into your computer take a line-out from the console and plug it into the line-in on your computer, set your system prefs to use the Line-In, and use your audio editor to record.
If your computer doesn't have a Line-In you'll need an Audio Interface:

Change background color during text edit mode

THis is a wacky problem...
I have a presentation template. The slide master has white copy in the title and black copy in the body/bulleted list.
When I try to use the template and edit the title copy, the background color for editing that line is white, just like the text, so I can't see what I'm typing. I can't figure out how to change the background color during text edit mode so that I can actually see what I'm typing. Is there a way to make this transparent?
For some reason, the body copy edit works fine: black text edited in either a white or transparent background color.
help!

Microphone for filming choir/band concerts

We film a lot of middle and elementary school choir and band concerts, create DVDs for the parents. As of now, we just use the audio that we get from the 3 inexpensive mini dv cameras we shoot with. The results are actually pretty good, especially if the soloists are playing into a mic from the house sound. In general, nothing else is mic'ed just the wonderful sound you get inside a gymnasium that is used for the concerts. My question is this. Is there a microphone that I could connect to one of my cameras, maybe run it up to the front and get better audio? I have heard that there are flat mics that are made for this but have no experience with them. Or, should I just be happy with the results I am getting with the inexpensive mini dv and its built in mic. Thanks so much in advance for your expert advice.

We film a lot of middle and elementary school choir and band concerts------------
then you should be able to afford some extra kit that will give you far reaching benefits
should I just be happy with the results I am getting with the inexpensive mini dv and its built in mic-------
no you should certainly not be happy
you really need to read up on some basic sound recording techniques to increase your skills
Is there a microphone that I could connect to one of my cameras-------------
consider a small pop concert:
4 vocalists - 10 musicians
may be 5 direct inject for guitars keyboard,
15 different mic types, occupying 24 channels on the sound desk with over 20 setups per hour
compare that to your one on camera mic resulting in appalling sound reproduction.
my take on this would be:
record the instruments not the sound from the hall,
use the well proven close mic technique: place mics close to at least each group of instruments - sax, trumpet percussion etc
with mics placed for soloists or feature instruments on good adjustable mic stands
using a specific mic type for each section of the ochestra
vocals - cardioid
bass drum - high sound pressure omni dynamic
woodwind - fast attack cardioid condencer
etc etc
also
never use an on camera mic - it will record great sound of the main drive motor, the operators hands adjusting the camera and unwanted sound from the immediate surroundings. Also, on camera mics are the cheapest, poorest quality you could obtain, one step up from a computer mic, invest in some basic quality musical instrument mics
- you should be monitoring your sound, via headphones from the sound mixer, get to know the sound being recorded, not the sound you hear in the hall
- rifle mics, correctly called lobar profile mics are generally no use for musical instruments, they are designed for vocal sounds, be they human or otherwise, they are only used for highly specialst placement as they reproduce a dull flat sound from musical instruments

No. If it is offline then it is not capable of being located over the web.

Our school has 12 iPads for a Garage Band concert..?

Our school has 12 iPads for a Garage Band concert. We need to purchase the in-app "expansion" for them to be used properly. How can we go about doing this without creating 12 Apple ID's for the process, and how do we manage the purchase correctly?
Our district can load them up, but due to purchasing restraints cannot pay for them. I just need to know the best way to go about getting 12 iPads to all be the same and all have the same unlocked in-app purchase. The money is not the issue, we have the funds.

One more thing... can you tell me how to stop all of these emails from the support communities. I turned off all my email notifications in my preferences but my email is blowing up with dozens of emails minutes apart. Does it take time before turning notifications off works... or am I missing something else?

6th generation nano starts talking during songs

My ipod randomly starts talking during songs and the voice over automated voice goes through the names of each playlist and sometimes songs. It usually happens when I'm at the gym.

Change Chart background color during runtime

I want to change the background color of my chart during runtime.
I can set and read-out the color with a property node but the apperance on the frontpanel is not changing.
After stopping the VI the chart suddenly gets updated.
Please check my VI attached.
Do someone knows a workaround?

Hello Robert,
another option would be to place (for example) a vertical smooth box behind the chart and change the color of it.
See my attachment.
Best regards

Blank Background Screen during a call...

Hi,
I seem to be getting only the background screen when I call, I cannot see the foreground information like the caller name, duration of call...
P.S. Not a white screen..
Any Solutions ?

I've also run into this issue. I got my phone in Feb 2015. Also iphone 6 (64GB). It's happened during calls and when I tried taking a photo. The screen basically goes black but the phone is still on and responds to buttons. It's happened to me twice in the past month or so. Each time, I've just had to wait for a few mins and the screen becomes lit up again.

Recorded audio files are gone after power outage during a concert

Hello together,
yesterday I used Logic Pro X to record a concert at our school. I had connected my MacBook Air to our mixer via FireWire, and everything went fine until two minutes before the concert's ending, the power went out. My MacBook was still working from battery, however, Logic Pro stopped recording and all recorded files except for one audio file are gone. I have already tried to recover the lost data by using a data recovery app, but it didn't find anything.
Is there a way to recover the lost recordings? I mean, Logic must have written its audio files to the hard drive somewhere and even when everything crashed, I don't think the files got overwritten with zeros or something else that could have destroyed it...
Many Regards,
Leo Bernard

TextfieldCell in Transparent Tableview, shows background app during editing

Hi,
With reference to the RoundTransparentWindow code of Apple Examples, I tried to make my tableview also transparent from the following code.
- (void)setColumnHeaderOf:(id)identifier image:(NSImage*)image title:(NSString*)title
NSTableColumn *column=[self tableColumnWithIdentifier:identifier];
[[column headerCell] setCellAttribute:NSCellHasImageOnLeftOrBottom to:NSImageBelow];
[[column headerCell] setImage:image];
NSMutableAttributedString *attributedString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:title];
NSMutableParagraphStyle * aParagraphStyle = [[[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init] autorelease];
[aParagraphStyle setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail];
[aParagraphStyle setAlignment:NSCenterTextAlignment];
CGFloat dividingFactor = 255.0f;
NSMutableDictionary * aTitleAttributes = [[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSFontfontWithName:CPFONTNAME size:[NSFont systemFontSize]], NSFontAttributeName,
aParagraphStyle,NSParagraphStyleAttributeName,
nil] autorelease];
[aTitleAttributes setValue:[NSColor colorWithDeviceRed:(246/dividingFactor) green:(204/dividingFactor)blue:(37/dividingFactor) alpha:1.0f] forKey:NSForegroundColorAttributeName];
[attributedString addAttributes:aTitleAttributes range:NSMakeRange(0, [attributedString length])];
[[column headerCell] setAttributedStringValue:attributedString];
[attributedString release];
- (void)awakeFromNib
NSLog(@"KBCustomTableView awakeFromNib");
[[self enclosingScrollView] setDrawsBackground:NO];
NSRect frameRect = [[self headerView] frame];
[[self headerView] setFrameSize:NSMakeSize(frameRect.size.width, 30)];
[self setColumnHeaderOf:@"Column1" image:[NSImage imageNamed:@"ColHdr1"] title:@"Column1"];
[self setColumnHeaderOf:@"Column2" image:[NSImage imageNamed:@"ColHdr2"] title:@"Column2"];
[self setColumnHeaderOf:@"Column3" image:[NSImage imageNamed:@"ColHdr3"] title:@"Column3"];
- (void)drawBackgroundInClipRect:(NSRect)clipRect
NSLog(@"KBCustomTableView drawBackgroundInClipRect");
//[super drawBackgroundInClipRect:clipRect];
- (id)_highlightColorForCell:(NSCell *)cell
[self setBackgroundColor:[NSColor clearColor]];
return nil;
It works fine but with one strange behaviour of textfieldCell.
WhileEditing the textfieldCell, my background app is shown clearly. This is because in the method, _highlightColorForCell self setBackgroundColor:[NSColor clearColor]]; If I don't do this, then my table behaves very much weird with lot of colors.
Any idea how to resolve this.
Regards

Hi again
You can control the anti-aliasing on a global scale via Edit > Preferences.
Slide color is controlled either at the slide level itself (examine Slide Properties) and you can also set a default color in Preferences so that if you click Insert > Blank Slide it has a defined color.
It's common for folks to use the hot pink color as a transparent color. I just figured that you were configuring that color in the bitmap image you were creating for the caption. If you haven't done this, I'm unsure where the color may be coming from. Are you using a Bitmap Image in BMP format for the Caption? If not, perhaps you are using PNG or something like that and Captivate may be interpreting a transparent color set in the PNG. Not sure.
Cheers... Rick

Background voice during programmes

Hi, I think I have somehow pressed a button or buttons on my black bt vision remote control which has caused a background commentary when I am watching programmes, something like a directors cut when you hear the script over- view. It is getting very annoying. Help.

Can't hear anything or talk during regular phone calls on iPhone 5.

Hi guys, i've encountered a quite annoying problem on my iPhone 5.
Recently i dropped it, and after that i haven't been able to hear anything or say anything during my regular phonecalls. Calls made with facetime work perfectly, and i can send and receive sms's aswell.
I can also call people, so there's no problem with the connection. It's as if theres something wrong with the call function.
My simcard works fine in my iPhone 4.
My microphone works fine and so does my speaker.
Does anyone have a fix, or maybe just someone who knows where the problem originates from?
//Chris

I have the exact same problem- mine started after I upgraded to 7.0.6 software. If I put the call on speaker they can hear me just fine. Siri works and I can hear callers - basically all functions work except the person on the other end being able to hear me. I have reset all settings, and tried what was recommended for Iphone 4 and still no dice. Very unhappy at this point. I previously had a Droid for 3 years no problems. I've had this Iphone for 3 months and I would consider this a MAJOR problem.

Need to pause Background music during .flv playback

Hello,
I have a project that has 2 .flv videos, and I need to pause the background music while the user is playing those videos- is there an advanced action that would let me do this? Any other ideas?
Thanks!

No worries.
I looked through the Cp4/5 system variables and I didn't see a way to manually set the background audio to 0%.
I don't know what else is going on in your slide so this may or may not give the effect you want, but can you mute the background audio in the slide properties and add the narration audio to an invisible object on the slide?

Change row background color or banding

Can I do such things in my table? I'm working with a table which formatted subtotal. Now, I want to change the row color of each subtotal row. However, I can't find any attribute of row to do it.
eg.
ID
10
Dept1 100
Dept2 100
Subtotal 200
20
Dept3 200
Dept4 300
Subtotal 500
Total 700
Thanks in advance,

Thanks Frank,
I'm using OA Components Page in Oracle Application. It's .XML extension(I think you know it). I tried some ways to change the row color such as set row attribute, and change rowFormats of table like this
processRequest
     tableBean.prepareForRendering(pageContext);
     //now get a handle on the array of Row Format Dictionaries
     DataObjectList myRowFormats = tableBean.getRowFormats();
     if(myRowFormats = null){
          DictionaryData[] myRowFormats = new DictionaryData[size];
     //set the BANDING_SHADE_DARK property to TRUE for the second row
     //which corresponds to index 1 in the DictionaryData array
     rowFormats[1] = new DictionaryData(BANDING_SHADE_DARK,
Boolean.TRUE);
     //Modify any other row formats
     tableBean.setRowsFormats(rowFormats);
I found this on OAF Developer's Guide but it's not work out. Do you have any suggestion about it? Thanks for your time on this.

What is best filter to decrease crowd noise from background of live band recording?

I have a video of live musicians, the camera picked up more of the ambient crowd noise than I had expected. Does anyone know of a good track effect that would reduce the crowd noise without compromising the music quality?
Thanks,
Sam

Since noise tends to have a very broad frequency spectrum, I don't see good chances to reduce the noise without affecting the music.
