Bad buzz recorded when on AC power!  HELP!

I shot my first short film the other weekend. The first day I used AC power with my Panny GS400 and Rode VideoMic. This is 1/8" miniplug not XLR. I didn't realize that using AC would give a terrible buzz over all my audio. I never put the headphones on. Rookie mistakes.
I've been trying to clean this up with Audacity, SoundSoap 2 and Final Cut Express. I' not having much luck. It seems like it should be a 60hz hum from what I've read online, but it seems to be broadband noise. If I train Audacity it does an ok job with the noise removal but the dialog gets hit a bit.
I can't seem to get FCE's filters to do anything at all. I like to fix the audio in FCE if possible to make for an easy workflow. I've tried many filters and they don't seem to do anything. I drag the filter, tweak and then render.
I'm a total beginner so any help is apprieciated. I have a small 80k sample file that I can send if anyone wants to try to clean it up for me.

I think you have already covered it using your third party apps. It is difficult to weed out sounds and not loose things you need.
This turorial based on FCP may help you with understanding FCEs limits:

  • Commiting all the records when one is change  --Help Please

    Hi,
    I have a problem. I have got a form to do some changes. (original form was not done by me). This is a base table form. If I query for a particular criteria, and say it returns 5 rows and then if i modify just something only in one record and save, it commits all 5 records.
    But for the second time (without exist form the form), then if I query for the same criteria which returns the same 5 records and at that time when changing something in 1 record will commit only that record... Any idea what property has got wrong...
    The problem is I am supposed to keep a history table and to track the changes done to main table. so in above case as it commits even the records that has not being changed, that also get writes to the history...
    There are some display fields as well which display values from LOVs.
    Any one, ... any idea where the problem is...

    No Mohan,
    I haven't written any code.. I also cannot find how this happens.. because its a form that someone else has done..iam also trying to find why & how this is happening. There is no trigger to update, it is a base table block.
    But I saw a field now which populates from a LOV. There is a description field displayed on the form but actually the field that is on the table is the code, so when selecting from the LOV the code field is getting populated... Is this a problem

  • Do i create bad disk sectors when holding down power button?

    Hello - My mac happened to freeze (Snow Leopard 10.6.1) and the only thing I was able to do was hold down the power button to restart. In the process of doing this I was concerned that I may have damaged my hard drive.
    Can somebody verify that this was or wasn't good and is there anyway to check the sectors?
    Thanks

    You will not damage the drive by forcing a shutdown, but you can clobber data on the drive.
    If you are concerned then run "Repair Permissions" and "Verify/Repair Disk" from Disk Utilities.

    Hi,
    Troubleshooting a start up script can be difficult. There are some third party programs that also keep logs of start up programs, however for Firefox this may be different.
    Is Firefox a startup program? [http://www.winxptutor.com/msinfo32.htm]
    Its also possible to check the Web developer tools for any scripts in a page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger]
    In the control panel there is also Administrative tools to view event logs, but this may be something a local technician can walk you through.

  • Please help!  Having trouble finding records when searchign two tables.

    Hi, I've been trying to solve this problem for several weeks now, and I have exhausted all of my knowledge and experience. I need help, and I hope someone here can give me some direction.
    I am using VB 2008, and the CR that comes bundled with VS 2008 Pro. My database is a SQL Server 2005 CE v3.5 (a *.sdf file). I am connecting to the database through a dataset, and I am displaying the report in a CrystalReportViewer.
    My dataset consistes of two tables:
    1) tblCustomers which has a primary key "CustID", and contains only customer contact and personal information.
    2) tblDateVisited which has a primary key of "VisitID", but it also has a column titled "CustID". Basically, every time a customer visits the business, details of that visit are recorded in tblDateVisited, and that record is associated with the customer by their CustID.
    Here's what I'm trying to accomplish: I want to be able to display only Customer records when the customer has visited and that visit matches certain criteria. Right now, I am trying to match visits from the "tblVisitDate.PlayerType" column. If the customer has ever had a visit where they matched a particular player type, I want to see those customer records.
    I don't know what I'm doing wrong, though. I can search a dataset if I am only querying one table and pulling records from that table. However, whenever I try to add a second table and perform queries on that table to get records from the first table, I can't return any records.
    If it helps, I am trying to use one CrystalReportViewer to display multiple reports (user choice) and here's how I'm loading the report into the viewer:
    Me.tblCustomersTableAdapter.Fill(Me.dsPlayerTypeReports.tblCustomers)
    Me.tblDateVisitedTableAdapter.Fill(Me.dsPlayerTypeReports.tblDateVisited)
    Me.ReportFile.SetDataSource(dsPlayerTypeReports.Tables(1))
    I am suspicious that my problem is in the Tables(1) method. It confuses me that I can only assign one table as a datasource when I obviously need access to two tables to make this selection work.
    Whatever the case, I'm at the end of my rope with this one. I'm not prone to giving up, but I'm at a dead end currently.
    Any attempt to assist me with this will be greatly appreciated, successful or not.
    Thanks in advance!
    -Will

    Hi
    I finally figured this out (or at least a way of doing it that seems to work!
    In VS create a new, empty datasource with no database objects in it. You'll get a message saying asking if that's what you really want to do.
    Add a TableAdapter to the datasource using the 2-table SQL statement with a join but no WHERE clause, in my case:
    "SELECT tblMedia., tblTitles. FROM tblMedia LEFT JOIN tblTitles ON tblMedia.ODGMediaID = tblTitles.ODGMediaID "
    Make sure Fill a DataTable and Return a DataTable are checked.
    Rename the TableAdapter and DataTable to something sensible.
    Design the report using the new Dataset.
    To display the report in VB with user generated WHERE clause:
    strWhere = "WHERE ID=..." etc
    strSQL = "SELECT tblMedia., tblTitles. FROM tblMedia LEFT JOIN tblTitles " & _
                            "ON tblMedia.ODGMediaID = tblTitles.ODGMediaID " & strWhere
    Dim conn As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(strConn)
    Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter(strSQL, conn)
    Dim dsReport As New DataSet
    da.Fill(dsReport, "DataTableName")
    Dim rpt As New ReportDocument
    rpt.Load(PathToReportFile)
    rpt.SetDataSource(dsReport)
    crReportViewer.ReportSource = rpt

  • How to deactivate/ignore R/3 info records when creating Shopping Cart?

    Hi all and thanks for reading...
    We have the requirement of ignoring/deactivating R/3 info records when creating Shopping Carts SRM , so that no Vendor is proposed in transactions BBPSC01/BBPSC02.
    At the moment, when info records exist in backed, system is proposing vendor and other data and we want them to be completely ignored, both in classic and extended classic scenarios.
    How can we accomplish that? Is it possible to use BBP_SOS_BADI or is this BADI only valid for SRM local sources of supply?
    Has anybody had the same problem and solved it before?
    Thanks in advance for your help, regards
    David

    Hi  David
    Inforecord  is only source of supply for classic scenario only.
    Find and Check Sources of Supply
    Use
    With the Business Add-In BBP_SOS_BADI, you can search for and check sources of supply according to your own rules. These sources of supply include contracts, vendor list entries and product linkages. For this, the customer fields of the shopping cart or purchase order are transferred to the BAdI.
    Standard settings
    The BAdI provides the following methods:
    1. BBP_SOS_INDEX_UPDATE_CHECK
    Use: Check and update contract items in the source of supply table.
    2. BBP_SOS_SEARCH
    Use: Search for sources of supply according to your own rules.
    3. BBP_SOS_CHECK
    Use: Check and filter the sources of supply found by the standard search according to your own rules.
    4. BBP_SOS_PD_CHECK
    Use: Carrying out your own additional checks when creating a shopping cart document item with an assigned contract.
    Activities
    Implement the BAdI if you wish to determine or check sources of supply according to your own rules.

  • When ever the power goes out or I restart my iMac the external hard drive that is used by Time Machine for backups is dismounted ?

    When ever the power goes out or I restart my iMac the external hard drive that is used for backups by Time Machine is dismounted and all backups are gone. I can reselect it and it will start working again, but I am worried if the iMac hard drive should fail will I be left without a backup ?

    "Mac OS X can't repair the disk.  You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can't save changes to files on the disk.  Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can."
    It's possible a heavy-duty 3rd-party disk repair app can fix it, but they're expensive (DiskWarrior is about $100), and there's no guarantee it can do it.
    Am prompted to reformat but I don't have a good understanding of what this means and how to do it.
    That will erase it.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #5.
    It sounds very much like the disk is beginning to fail, although it's possible there's a bad port, cable, connection or power supply (if it has its own).
    I'd suggest getting a new one, and using it for your Time Machine backups; once you have a good backup there, reformat the old one (and select Security Options to write zeros to the whole drive -- if that fails, you know the drive is toast).  Use it for secondary backups, per FAQ #27.   If it has failed, get a second new one for secondary backups.

    No, I am connected via ADO.NET.  I don't think SQL CE can connect through ODBC (or if it can, I haven't been able to figure out how, yet).  So this isn't a stored procedure.
    When I examine the link, I can only choose an Inner Join or a Left Outer Join.  Right Outer and Full Outer are not available.  Could this be a problem with the dataset I'm using?
    Could you explain what you mean by display all of the records and then choose the selection criteria?

  • MBP shuts down when connecting to power

    Since a week or two, my MacBookPro from early 2011 shuts down when connecting the magsafe to power. Also when starting up again it will start up fine and fast from battery, but I need to hold the power button for several seconds when connected to power.
    Another problem I had earlier as well is  CPU (kernel task) of over 90%, which I now see clearly, only occurs when connected to power. I used to solve this problem by putting the MBP to sleep, but now, when put to sleep, it will shut down.
    When on battery, I have no CPU problem and can put machine to sleep without a problem.
    I recently started uploading everything to dropbox, and activate caffeine to make sure it will keep uploading. My computer will run for days on power combined with caffeine, but is as slow as **** because of a >90% CPU.
    The battery has had a notification for maybe a year, that it needed service, so today I finally bought and installed a new battery, but the problem is not solved. Is this software or could it be my magsafe adapter? Thanks for you help.

    It sounds like a problem with the power management inside your MBP. I suggest you call Apple to make an appointment at your local Apple store for them to check it out for you.

  • Ibook G4 freezes when using mains power

    Hi There
    I'm looking for a bit of help, hopefully someone might have had a similar problem.
    When using mains power my ibook freezes with the screen visible but nothing moving including the mouse arrow. The only way to shut it down is to keep the power button pressed. The only way to restart it is to keep the power button pressed. This doesn't always work though. Sometimes the fan whirrs and sometimes there is a whirr and then a beep. Sometimes the start up chimes can be heard and nothing happens.
    Generally after 2 to 3 attempts the computer launches and lasts for about 15 minutes before it freezes again.
    Strangely there isn't a problem when I'm using the battery only to power the computer.
    It has frozen when using Safari 3.04 and Indesign CS2
    The computer has had pretty robust use as the main graphic design tool for the last 2 years
    6 months ago I added more memory and bought a new battery

    the cable mentioned runs inside the iBook though, not the power adapter cable.
    adapter plugs into the connector, which is part of the "DC-in board", then there is a cable inside running to the logic board.
    looks kind of like that:

  • How do I create a DVD with no theme, i.e., it plays what was recorded when inserted in the player?

    How do I create a DVD with no theme, i.e., it plays what was recorded when inserted in the player?  Nothing extra, just the recorded content.

    Hi
    No Menu on DVD
    from. Mishmunken
    How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
    1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
    Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the drop-zone (text needs to be black as well).
    Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
    Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
    Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned. If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.
