Calculate region length in min:secs

Greetings,
I can't seem to find it in the manual - I'd like highlight a region and know how long it plays without manually subtracting stop-start time. (I'm math challenged, aka stuuupid - besides, that's what I have a computer for)
I tried by setting up markers but that didn't give me the length of the marker.
Any helpful recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
If you're wondering - yes, it's for doing cue sheets.

The Event List!!! Duh!
I was looking in the Bin and everywhere else. Wasn't thinking of regions as "events"
Thank you.

Decimal format time value to convert into time (hr:min:sec)value in a graph

I need to develop a graph in WAD, in BW7. In the graph the value must be showed as HR:MIN:SEC, which I cannot get it right.
The keyfigure value carries the duration(hr:min:sec) in decimal format. In the query, I use this keyfigure for calculation. To get the time broadcasted for a week range. I get the total duration (say 507835.000). Now I need to convert this value back to hr:min:sec. I use the below formulas to get the hr, min, sec.
D = 507835
Val1 = D/3600
Val2 = Frac(val1)
Val3 = Val2 * 60
Val4 = frac(Val3) * 60
Hr = Val1 Val2
Min = Val3 frac(Val3)
Sec = Val4
In another formula in the query I add Hr + Min/100 + Sec/10000 to get hr.minsec format.
When I do an average on count of weeks, this doesnt round off correctly.
I tried to also use the Data function TIME() which when the time is > 24 hrs changes the value.
Lets say if it is 39:00:00, it shows value as 15:00:00 instead of keeping the value 39:00:00.
When I used this value in the graph it did not show the HR:MIN:SEC values in the value axis instead it showed 0.0, 0.1,.1.0. Bcoz of this the graph is blank.
Can anybody help me to resolve this problem.
Thanks alot

I checked SU01 and didn't see anything there to customize...
In my workstation, control panel / regional and languages settings / tab regional Options / customize; my time format is HH:mm:ss; the HH has to be in capital letter to display the time in 24 hour...
but this is strange anyway... are you reporting with web frontend or excel?

To convert value in seconds or decimal value to hr:min:sec

Hi There,
I got 2 keyfigures which have the same data in decimal and seconds format like 1492.000 or 1492. In the <b>query</b> I want to convert this to HR:MIN:SEC format.
Can anybody help me to convert to hr:min:sec format. what is the formula that can convert this?
Thanks alot

How to print out time as hr:min:sec without AM/PM?

how to print out time as hr:min:sec without AM/PM
since hr specifies AM/PM. Thank you. My first thought
is that there exists a formatter to do this. My second
thought is that if not I can convert the AM/PM in the
DateFormat.MEDIUM to the right hour.

import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Test {
    public static void main (String [] args) {
        SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
        Date d = new Date();
        System.out.println( format.format(d) );
}

Enter run time in hours / mins / secs on the front pannel

I am trying to get a pop up VI to run alongside my main program. While the measurment parts of my software run I want a VI to pop up and display the run time in hours / mins / secs. Once the main VI ends its sequence, I want the timer VI to close down again. It sounds easy and maybe it is, but can I get it to work ........... HELP !!

I have created an example program for you (in LV 6.0). Basically a time window will popup at the start and show the runtime (calculated, so starts at 0 hours), and when you stop the Main vi the time window will close. The time is updated at every loop of the Main vi. All of this is achieved through VI server as you will see.
I hope this helps you.

How to calculate the length of a string

Hi everyone,
A simple question. How to calculate the length of a string?
Thanks!

Hi Wuyia Nata,
As everyone has suggested you search the forum before posting a question, i guess for basic questions u never have to post a question, you will get the answer in your search. Anyways see the code below for string lenght.
Data:
w_string type string,
w_lenght type i.
w_string = 'vhdskbvsdkbvdsvnsknvs'.
w_lenght = strlen( w_string ).
Write:
w_lenght.
With luck,
Pritam.

Why are my region lengths changing?

Doing takes for a guitar solo yesterday, I had all my take folders on the same track. When I was doing my comping I noticed that some of the region lengths of takes further along in the song were changed. At first I thought I may have accidendally selected them all when I clicked on the track, but the same thing happened when I made sure I only had one take folder selected.
Is this a Logic 8 glitch, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for the added clarifications Noel. Can you perhaps explain to me how the behaviour of the color sampler in the info palette is actually desirable?
Let's look at my example again. When I am trying to make an adjustment and I'm looking at my color sampler targets, I _must_ have my adjustment layer selected. Target #1 is pointed over a white pixel. Regardless of which layer I have selected, that pixel is white. I can't imagine a scenario in which the readout should be anything other than 255,255,255. That's not a feature, that's a design mistake.
If I want to see, in the readout, the value of the background image's pixel, then I should hide the layer that contains that white shape. Then, that pixel is no longer white, and the color sampler readout should reflect that. Makes sense.
If you truly and honestly believe that users are interested in the color that is a result of compositing all the layers below (and including) the currently selected adjustment layer when they are plaing with the adjustment layer controls, then the UI must temporarily hide any layers above that color sampler as soon as I select the adjustment layer. This is the only correct UX design in that scenario - so that the color sampler once again reflects exactly what is "true" - namely the pixel color on the screen that it is sampling.
And if you re-read that last paragraph you will intuitively know that that would be crazy. I mean, there's no way that a user would want to have the UI hide any layers just because he's clicked on the Adjustment Layer - he probably wants to see the adjustment in the context of the entire composition. If he wanted to hide those other layers, he'd do it himself.
I urge you to reconsider this from the perspective of a real-world user and consider logging this as a bug. I just can't see any way that it isn't a mistake.

Entity bean doesn't return hours/min/sec from a Date database field

Hello:
I'mm working with Sun One 7 Appserv and Oracle 9i
I'm having a strange behaviour with getter methods in entity beans when the return value is a Timestamp
In database, the field's type is Date, but the return value's type is Timestamp
In this case, the hours/min/sec values return into Timestamp value are always 00:00:00
For example: in database , F field is a Date and has got the value "12/12/2006 12:30:00"
After Timestamp t = entityRef.getF() call , t has got the "12/12/2006 00:00:00" value
The strange case is that in anothers AS ( like JBoss ) , the same code returns right
Any problem with Oracle 9i in SunOne 7 ? Any problem with JDBC driver ?
Thanks !
Best regards

Well, I found the solution.
The problem was the ojdbc14.jar driver, which made wrong schema files.
Exactly, with the bad ojdbc14.jar, generated this entry
<_type>91</_type>
when the right for time types is
<_type>91</_type>
I dont know beause the new ojdbc14.jar works fine, but I paste its size
ojdbc14.jar good : 1181679 bytes

Problem adjusting region length

Hi folks, I'm having trouble getting regions to the precise length of a bar. This has been driving me mad, I just can't figure it out.
I'm chopping up parts of a drum intro to use as a loop, and isolated a 1 bar stretch. I've set the tempo to roughly the right range and selected 'adjust region length to nearest bar/locators'. Only problem is, it doesn't do it accurately, and at the highest resolution zoom setting there is a fractional distance between the end of the region and the barline, even though the start of the region is exactly at the barline. Obviously this messes with the loop synchronising, but I can't get Logic to adjust the length precisely.
Is there something obvious I'm missing here? Any help would be massively appreciated!

Problem solved? It seems playing with the time and pitch machine algorithm fixes this - selected 'percussive' and that seems to do the trick. Not exactly intuitive though Apple!

Adjust Region Length without adding silence?

Whenever I adjust a region's length either to the locator's or to the nearest bar, logic automatically adds a few ms of silence to both the beginning and end of the region. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? If not, than this feature is pretty much useless. Please help!

I am adjusting an audio file region using the command "adjust region length to locators" or adjust region length to neareset bar".
I have a four bar phrase whose tempo is slightly slower than my song's tempo. I want to time compress the phrase to match that of my song. I highlight a four bar section in the locators, move the region to start at the same bar as the locators, and then select adjust region length to locators. When I do this, the region becomes the length of the locators, however a couple ms of silence is added to both the beginning and end of the region.

How to tell length of track in mins & secs

Just wondering how do you tell the length of your track production in mins and secs in LE. I'm probably overlooking the obvious,but can't see how you do it.
Thanks
SB

Logic Pro has an option to display time on the Bar Ruler but it's not available in LE. The easiest thing to do is to move to the end of the song and view the Transport Window.
BTW, the Song End Marker (by default at bar 201) can be moved and you can use that (or a marker, if you prefer) to navigate around.

Class to calculate string length

Hi All,
is there any class having a method to calculate the string length.
Thanks

Hi Ravi,
You can use the FM SWA_STRINGLENGTH_GET
data: lv_length type SWAEXPDEF-ELEMLENGTH,
                 lv_string type string.
      CALL FUNCTION 'SWA_STRINGLENGTH_GET'
        EXPORTING
          expression                 =   lv_string

Region length

Hi folks...
I need to have an audio region trimmed to a specific length. Also, sometimes I need to know exactly how long some audio regions are. What's the best way to get this info. If you're familiar with Cubase, you can simply look at the info bar on top of the arrange window, and it will tell you the exact length of any selected region (in bars, or seconds, or samples or anything).
What's the simplest way to do this in L8?
thanks anyone?!

Well, its not showing me much of anything. Just the sample rate, bit depth and size on disk of the main audio file (not the regions).
I need to know the exact length of my audio regions...I need to know more detials than what the list is showing me...
any other way to know exactly how long a 'region' is?

Nondestructive region length editing

hi, i'm switching back to Logic after using Ableton Live for the past year and a half or so. for those who are familiar with Live -- i got used to how quickly one could extend or retract the length of a region/sample without cutting or slicing it. in Logic, i find myself using the scissors tool a lot to cut and split regions... which is at times less convinient - when you don't really want to split/cut a region but just shorten it a bit. is there a way to do that in Logic? ... and to be clear i'm not talking about time-stretching or shortening.

thanks for your reply. when i place the cursor on the end of a region, all i get is the that loop sign, which will activate the loop as long as i keep dragging to the right. dragging to the left is not even an option. i'm using the Pointer Tool. what am i missing here?
(i'm referring to an audio region)
