Best way to eliminate duplicated songs in 2 logins?

Our Macbook has several users, and my son and I share iTunes. We've just discovered that, rather than sharing one copy of songs as we had assumed, we seem to have duplicated our songs in both logins - instead of using 60GB of hard disk space for our songs we seem to be using 60 in each log in. My questions are:
1. How do I avoid this? I just discovered I should've put the itunes music folder into a shared folder, so I assume this is the problem.
2. If that's correct, should I move my music folder to shared folders and just delete his? Then in his iTunes we oint him to the music in that shared folder?
thanks!

Do the beeps occur while the narrataor is talking? You can just drop the volume of the track for a moment and the beep will go unheard. If the beep 'steps on' the narration, you'll get short dropout, but it may be okay.
Removing each beep will take four keyframes (two at the regular level, and two 'inside' taking the level down) but you can do it pretty quickly. Page 616 in the FCE3.5 manual indicates that if you hold the 'option' key when you click the level overlay, it places four keyframes at once.
It might help if you put markers on the track where you squelch the beep. Then you can turn off the audio 'waveform' display while you edit the video track.
I think you can accomplish what you want in iMovie, but using markers in FCE might be a significant help.

What is the best way to compress a song?

What is the best way to compress a song to bring it into IMOVIE?

I assume you are referring to compressing the file size of the resultant song, rather than compressing the audio dynamic range of the tracks in the song.
GarageBand only outputs .AIFF files which are uncompressed 16-bit, 44.1KHz stereo audio.
As far as I know, there is no point in compressing the GarageBand song before importing it into iMovie, because iMovie uses the same format for audio internally as GarageBand does.
You can open a GarageBand song in iTunes and use iTunes to convert it to an MP3, but when you import that MP3 into iMovie it's going to up-sample the MP3 back into AIFF format anyway.

What is the best way to shorten a song so it will fit on a slideshow.

What is the best way to shorten a song so it will fit on a slideshow so I do not have to remove or add pictures.
Thank you in advance

No need to shorten the audio track. Just click on the option to Fit slideshow to music in the Slideshow Settings preference pane:
That will do just what it says, play the slideshow for the entire length of the music selected to play.

What is the best way to put various songs into one album?

I have been adding album information and album artwork within iTunes to take advantage of cover flow, but i have a lot of songs in my music library that are "stand alone" songs - it is the only song from that artist. I want to put all of these songs together in one album, so all of my miscellaneous rock songs will be put into a Rock Music album or file. I want to do this to eliminate all of the grey boxes within cover flow for all of these songs. When i give the files all the same album name (Rock Music) and album artist (Various Artists) it still does not put them all together within iTunes. It will do it for some, but not all.
What is the best way to put all of these miscellaneous songs into the same album?

Try marking all the tracks as part of a compilation. Click on the first track in your list, hold down the shift key and click on the last. Right click anywhere in the selection and choose Get Info, when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items say yes. Change compilation at the bottom of the window to Yes.

Best way to mix multiple songs with same template?

From what I gathered, I know I can save a particualar session as a "user" template, that way I can mix another song retaining all the same EQ, comp... etc, as well as arrange layout. Is this the best way to accomplish what I aim for? I've finished one song, now i am using a song from the same recording session, (same mic placement, and track assignment). Now, I want to start fresh with another song, using different effects and such, but I'd like to keep the same basic EQ and such.......
Let me know my Logic gifted friends!

From the Manual 272:
Channel Strip Settings Menu
If you click on the word Insert on any channel strip, the Channel Strip Settings menu
opens. This menu allows you to load and save the entire routing configuration of a
single channel strip, including all loaded plug-ins and settings.
The ability to save an entire routing configuration can be used in a number of ways,
such as:
• Setting up and storing complex multi-effect configurations—on any type of channel.
• Similarly, the configuration of a particular routing configuration for use with multi-
output software instruments.
• Copying a routing or effect configuration between Projects.
• The rapid creation of new Templates.
The Channel Strip menu offers the following items:
• Next/Previous Channel Strip Setting: Loads the next or previous Channel Strip
Setting in the list.
• Copy/Paste Channel Strip Setting: Allows to you to copy and paste Channel Strip
Settings between channels or Projects.
• Save Channel Strip Setting as: Saves the Channel Strip Setting, and allows you to
name it.
• Once you have created one or more Channel Strip Settings, a list of settings will be
shown below the menu functions. The active Channel Strip Setting is denoted by a
bullet.
So it recalls all the inserts and settings in 1 convenient preset (as well as if the track is M or S) but where it is routed or sends info is not recalled - nor Pan or fader, though there is a gain plug.

How do I eliminate duplicated songs?

I recently cleaned out my computer so I transfered my itune songs to an external hard drive and when I transferred the music back to my computer and set up the itunes I know have duplicated songs. How do I eliminate them?

Depending on the amount of music you have, you can just hold control and click the tracks you want to delete and then click Edit > Delete (or press delete/backspace on the keyboard). You can also select a track, hold shift and press the up or down arrow to select multiple grouped tracks.
If there are too many, you can use the iTunes File > Display Exact Duplicates option.
You can also try one of the scripts or suggestions here -> how to delete duplicated songs all at one time?

Best Way To Find Duplicate Songs in ITunes

I have 3000+ songs in ITunes. I know I have a few duplicates. What is the best way to find them? Just sort by name and look? Or is there a simpler way?
Thanks.

I am so used to Windows MEdia Player, that I must have just skimmed over the menus.
Thanks!

What's the best way for a web app to handle logins and sessions?

I'm deploying in JBoss, using JSF. As is often the case, I keep User information in an entity bean. My question is, what's the best way to handle this bean?
My inclination is to create a login page with a LoginBackingBean atached to it. When the user attempts to log in, it will see if there is a User entity bean that corresponds to the given name and password. If there is no User bean that matches, obviously we show an informative error screen.
But what happens if there is a valid user?
In the plain old Servlet world (without EJB / J2EE) I would just put the User object (it's an object, not an EJB) into the HttpSession, and I would create a Filter that would check for the presence of that User object, and I would map the filter to something like /members/*, and that would be it. I would use Hibernate to persist the User object, and there would also be a filter that creates a Hibernate session and stores it in the Request so that the User object would work and persist.
How do I do this within the J2EE / EJB world?
My first thought would be to just do the same thing. Install the User bean into the HttpSession, and create a filter and do all the same stuff. Is that the right way to do it? It would work pretty well with JSF because I could just access things in the normal JSF way: #{user.firstName} would find the "user" object in the HttpSession scope. So that's good.
One question that comes up from that is if the user makes some change to the User object that is in the Session scope, will the EJB automatically do the right thing and make those changes persistent? Is there anything else I need to do?
I'm new to the EJB world, but from what I can see so far, it seems like it's the best way to think about a web application.
Thanks

hi ,
i think the best way is to create java beans ,in that bean call your EJB ,
and check the validation over there.
and make that bean scope to session.
in each and everypage try to check the session ,if it is not valid then forward to your login page...
otherwise continue to give access to him like guest

What is the best way to manage photo's with multiple login accounts?

There are three people in my household and each has their own login into the computer. I also have and external drive. Space is becoming short on the computer, so I want to move all my photos and music to the external drive. I have moved all the music files and folders to the external drive and then each user has just updated their individual iTunes folders, pointing to the external drive.
However, what is the best way to manage photo's? Do I do this same process or is there another way? I don't want any music or photo files on the computer's hard drive at all if it can be avoided.

I am presuming that we cannot share downloaded apps and music between accounts because of the copyright issue,
Though I'm no copyright lawyer, as long as it's within a household, you can share content among users. Such sharing is, absent specific language preventing it not present in the iTunes Store terms of use, generally considered to be "personal use". So you can share apps and music amongst your users on your computer and with their devices. You just can't give any of that content to friends or relatives who don't live with you.
What I am not clear on, it making sure that this appears in each itunes account - is it easy to find the file storage folders that match the itunes accounts and what would these be?
The iTunes library and files are by default in a user's Home/Music folder. But you don't have to find the folder; in fact putting a file into the folder yourself won't add the file to iTunes. Just drag the file into the iTunes window. iTunes will copy it to the correct location.
Regards.

Best Way To Build A Song

I was thinkin of ways to build songs and thought it might be interesting to hear what everyones opinion is on this? I know inspiration can come in many diff ways but... when actually in the recording process where is a good place to start assuming you are not recording live instruments?? Anyone? Thanks

NOw you got me started
Once you have your song................You listen back to it..........Let's say it sounds muddy......BEFORE you start EQing..........make sure it isn't muddy because of the orchestration !
9 times out of 10 it is the composition that is muddy NOT the mix......
Check your inversions of the chords .....make sure that your hook lines aren't duplicating notes that are in the block chords of the progression......Instead have them an Octave higher or lower............
So every note has it's own space....That way everything is heard clearly...
LEAN AND MEAN........music should breathe so don't be afraid of little pockets of nothingness.....
Kick drum and bassline form a union and should sound Together (That gets rid of ALOT of low-end mud)
That doesn't mean whenever the BASS hits, the Kick should hit.........just don't have them fight each other....
SvK
Oh yeah almost forgot......don't get caught listening and working on an 8bar verse loop for hours on end........Because it will become virtually impossible for you to think up anything to follow it!
That is why I said get the entire chord Progression first.......

Best ways to manually manage songs and other media between iTunes and iPod?

I have a Video iPod (60 GB) and I connect it to two computers, with all my songs being on one of them (my Desktop). Since I connect to two, I have my iPod set to manually manage. My question is, is there any way for me to tell in iTunes what songs I have in iTunes but not on the iPod? If I could see that, it would make manually managing the iPod much easier. If this is available, could someone let me know how? If it is NOT available, are there other strategies people have used to make sure they are aware of what is on the iPod and what is not?
Thanks in advance,
- DTC

I appreciate your help but I don't think you've read my message totally because I know that there should be a button where you can set it manually, but I strangely I don't have that kind of button (see: http://www.youruploadservice.be/uploads/iPod.JPG) Is it because I don't have a Mac? Because I'm sure I have the latest version of iTunes. Could you pls help?

What is the best way to eliminate room hum in my video?

I have a room hum in my clips that I wish to eliminate.
I downloaded Audacity and it worked fine, right up to the point where I exported it to FCE. In Timeline the sound file was out of sync and nothing I have tried will synchronize it with the video. I understand that going through the Audacity cleansing has removed the FCE signals that would have normally produced the out-sync- buttons in the Timeline so that I could rectify the problem.
I posed this problem in a previous post and crowed that I had solved the problem. Turns out, I had not, so here I am, with my tail between my legs, looking for assistance.
1) Does anyone know of a way for me to export an audio clip from Audacity so that it is correctly reunited with its video in FCE?
2) Is there a way to move an audio track one frame at a time along the Timeline track so that I can try to align they clips by trial and error? (I know; this sounds very sloppy)
3) I have been reading with great interest the post by Tricial and her problems with Soundsoap. I was just about to give up on Audacity and then download Soundsoap trial software. Tricial feels, she states, that Soundsoap and FCE are not compatible. One respondent to her post sensibly suggested she contact Bias, the parent of Soundsoap, and ask if their product is compatible with FCE or not. An excellent suggestion. I went to the Bias site and found that in order to ask a question, you must provide a serial number! In other words, you must buy the product before you can ask if it works! I turned to their FAQ page, but this question is not addressed. The closest they come is to saying that Soundsoap works with Snow Leopard but for all I know, that may be only in iTunes or Garage Band.
I so messed up (not exactly the word I was thinking) my sound tracks that I have decided to start over and dump a couple of weeks work. Aargh.
I would appreciate your wisdom.

2) Is there a way to move an audio track one frame at a time along the Timeline >track so that I can try to align they clips by trial and error? (I know; this >sounds very sloppy)
Lock your video track, select the audio, type +01 then Enter.
A Move box will appear with the value 01 init, this means the audio will move forward one frame.
Type -01 to go backwards. Typing -02 is two frames etc.
Make sure there is nothing in the way or you will have a +Clip Collision+ warning.
Can't help with Audacity.

What is the best way to transfer 1200 songs from one SGIII to another SGIII?

I have over 1200 songs on my Samsung Galaxy III and want to transfer them all in one block to my husband's SG III. I have Backup Assistant Plus with most of the music uploaded there. I asked at our local Verizon store but no one there knew how to use this phone! Can anyone help me?

You can share songs, but if there is DRM protection on the song, it will not play on the other device unless you also transfer the rights to the other device. You are getting into the problem of music piracy.

Best way to eliminate or at least lessen a cell phone interference noise in a video

We shot an interview the other day and even though we normally remember to tell people to turn off their cell phones, we forgot that day. Right in the middle of a good response we hear the annoying sound that cell phones cause with wireless mics. It only lasts a few seconds, but really takes away from what the interviewee is saying. Is there a way to lessen that noise or even get rid of it altogether?
Thanks.

This might work for you, depending on how intrusive the interference sound is, and what the other frequencies in the audio file are doing.

Best way to ELIMINATE the MORAY EFFECT in a photograph that is moving?

Hi.
I have a shot of a woman in a striped dress which has a slight move on it. When I export my sequence to QT and watch in the QT player, the image looks great.
But when I burn a dvd using DVDStudio pro and watch it on a monitor, the striped dress creates that nasty moray effect that is TOTALLY distracting....
How to eliminate this? Is it simply to deinterlace that particular shot in my sequence?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
(sorry, I unintentionally posted this to the Motion forum as well)

Have you tried a quick test with De-Interlace?
I'll hope someone has a great fix, as I run into this from time to time.
My solution to date has been to dupe the clip on a track above and place a very slight gaussian blur filter on the top clip, then add a Garbage Matte and/or Mask Shape/Mask Feather to iso the problematic area..
Might be able to use CC3way Limit Effect and tweak some levels...haven't tried that.
IIRC, I've tried 1pixel vertical shift in Motion tab and/or several of the Video Filters/Video-Shift Fields/Flicker Filter/Image Stabilizer...all to no acceptable effect.
Maybe I've just never correctly tweaked any of the filters. Dupe/Mask/Blur has worked.
