Cutting Audio Accurately - into or before the first sample.....

Hi.
I record 8 tracks of audio into logic from my drum machine. When i cut those 8 tracks together i find the first sound (eg - the kick) and cut just before the sample starts. Sometimes the cut is way before the sound starts and i have to decide whether to cut there or into the sound, as logic doesnt let cut anywhere else.
Has anyone got any advice on this?
1 more question - can you lock regions to be selected together. eg when i click on 1 of these 8 tracks, the other 7 are automatically selected?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks, Ben

Hi Ben,
If I'm understanding you correctly, it sounds like you have the "Snap" parameter found in the upper right hand corner of the arrange page, set to "bars", or maybe "beats".
Set it to "snap", and you are free to scrub and scroll as close to the waveform as desired. I believe holding the apple key down give you even further resolution...
If you are taking about cutting in the sample window, however, make sure "search zero crossings" is disabled, from the sample editors edit menu.
As for "locking regions together", you want to utilize the "Group" function. By assigning all 8 tracks to the same group, and then making sure that "Arrange (Select)" is enabled from the group settings, selecting and making cuts on 1 track, will select and make the cuts on all 8 tracks simultaneously.
Page 277 of the Logic Pro Help PDF has more info on Groups...

When I make a audio recording, I miss the breathing before the first note using metronome click

When I make a audio recording, using count in metronome click, I miss the breathing before the first tone. I hear very abrupt the first tone. I like some environment before, the acoustic of the hall

So... if i understand what you are trying to achieve...
When recording sing a single short note (To actually start the recording and then wait a bar before you start actually singing your music.. You can then go back and edit out the single note leaving the ambience... and your breathing intact and recorded.

TS1702 I bought a song today from iTunes but it cuts off over a minute before the song ends, how can I download it again?

I bought a song today on iTunes and it cuts off over a minute before the song ends, how can I download it again or fix the problem. It happens on my MacBook Pro and my iPod Touch 4G

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

I’ve tried to update my i-Tunes version after the site suggested I should following my i-Pad Air being plugged into it for the first time. The update seemed successful but the program would not open at all despite switching off the PC and re-starting several times. I then tried wiping the original software from the computer and re-downloading from scratch. Each time I tried the download failed with a message saying “Service “Apple Mobile Device” failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services” At this stage, the only way forward was to “abort” the download. This I have done now four times and the same thing happens. When I did finally manage to get an i-Tunes shortcut on my desktop, the program wouldn’t open saying: “i-Tunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install i-Tunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)” Any ideas to resolve this?

It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes)

The song I downloaded (Slayer, Criminally Isane) cuts off about 3 seconds before the ending, I have tried re-downloding per apple support directions with the same results. What further actions may I take to fix this issue?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Published Captivate 6 project freezes on slide immediately before the first question slide

I am running both CP6 and CP7 on Windows 7.
I am still working on projects created with Captivate 6 in Captivate 6. However, since installing CP7, any projects that I edit and publish with CP6 freeze up on the slide just before the first question slide.
Since I have only begun experiencing this issue since CP7 was installed, I am assuming that it is something to do with the fact that i have both versions (6 and 7) installed.
The only solution I have found so far is to open and publish the project in CP7, but this is not ideal as the projects I am working on in CP6 are new versions of ones already published in SAP LSO and I am concerned that publishing new versions of my courses from a different CP version will cause issues in LSO.
Any ideas why this might be happening? Ideally, I would prefer to continue to use CP6 for existing projects and only use 7 for new projects.

Hi there,
Have you created those projects in CP 6 from Scratch?
Can you check the complete version of CP 6 (Help > about Adobe Captivate), it should be 6.0.1.240 or 6.1.0.319.
Can you test with a blank new project in CP 6 after running it as Administrator (Right Click on CP 6 icon, then select run as admin).
Thanks.

Google tell me to insert their codes a site map in the head section before the first body section.. but where is it on my welcome page?

Google tell me to insert their codes for a site map in the <head> section before the first <body> section.. but where in exact terms is the head & body section on my 09 iwebsite?

It's been a while since I had to verify my sitemap with Google, but if I remember, there were two options for verification. The one I chose was an HTML file verification. That's a file that would be put in your Site Folder in GoDaddy. Google would then crawl your site to verify that way. I found that much easier than putting a file in the website itself.
It would be a file that looks like this: googlebe235d8cb7e91037.html
And would live in your Site Folder on Godaddy like this:

Why am I missing the first sample with an E-series DAQ?

I am continuously acquiring a repetitive waveform. I generate an external, gated channel clock, which acquires about 50% of the waveform. I initially trigger the acquisition to be sure the first sample of the first waveform is always in the same location. About 50% of the time I miss the first sample. It acts like there needs to be a convert clock before the trigger, and if there isn't, it eats my first convert clock (sample). Any suggestions?

Ron,
Thanks for your response. Actually, the trigger and convert clock is
generated externally by a 40 MHZ FPGA and are very accurately phase
locked. I have verified on an oscilloscope that they are not jumping
around.
I'm acquiring a repetitive waveform so I have a trigger and then,
after about 10us, a train of ~ 1000 convert clocks to acquire the
waveform. After a delay the sequence starts again. I'm acquiring
continuously because I can't afford to miss waveforms so, after the
initial trigger, the trigger is ignored. I then rely on the fact that
I know how many samples are in each waveform to display and save the
data to a file.
I believe the problem happens when the Labview software initially
enables the DAQ. If the DAQ is enabled during the dead
time, it won't
see a convert pulse prior to the first trigger. If it is enabled right
after the trigger, I will see a convert pulse before the trigger.
I acquire in two different modes. On acquires 50% of the waveform and
has convert pulses present 50% of the time. The second mode acquires
almost 100% of the time with only a 100us deadtime at the end of each
waveform. In the 50% mode I miss the first pulse about 50% of the
time. In the ~100% mode I haven't yet missed a pulse. When I miss the
first pulse, all the subsequent data gets shifted by one sample, and
the last sample becomes what should be the 1st sample of the next
waveform.
So my theory is that the DAQ needs to see at least one convert pulse
after it is initialized by the software prior to being triggered.
Otherwise it eats my first sample.
Thanks for your help,
Barry

Problems Importing into LR5 for the first time.

Hi all, just moving from Aperture to Lightroom 5 and trying to import for the first time into LR from my camera. LR sees my cameras but can detect no images on the cards. 'No images found.' Please help!

Hi Charlie,
Sorry. although I understand where you are coming from, I really don't have anything to add to my previous post. If no card reader, copy from camera to hard disk if you can. If you cant, then buy a card reader.. I mean, maybe you or somebody will come up with something else before it comes down to that, but if not..
PS - It's critical that your camera is emulating a disk drive. Is it? Can you browse to and open the files using your OS? if not, Lr won't stand a chance.

How do I remove a space before the first word in a sentence using find and replace or GREP?

Right, so I am laying out a document in inDesign from a word document and it has a space before every first word in a sentence. It is really annoying and I need a quick way to get rid of them. I wasn't too sure how to do it with find/change but I am sure there is a way in GREP if someone can help me. I have included an image so that people can see exactly what I mean.

The ^ location works for all paragraphs.
But a note to the OP, there is a sample script called FindChangeByList that removes leading and trailing spaces as well as extra spaces after punctuation, all in one go. But if you want to continue to use a GREP find/change to remove leading space, I'd modify Joel's suggestion to ^\s+ to get those cases where the user typed multiple spaces as well.
And don't forget there are actually legitimate places for leading tabs, which both the script and this GREP will find and remove, so be careful.

I don't know, Maybe Office 2008 doesn't play nice with Lion. Was 2008 working previously with Lion? Did you have these problems with Snow Leopard?
Here's MS's instructions for uninstalling Office 2008.
How to completely remove Office 2008 for Mac
All I can suggest is uninstalling and starting over with a fresh installation.
Alternatively don't use Office at all. Instead use one of the Office substitues that supports Word documents (OpenOffice, LibreOffice, NeoOffice). Also there's Apple's Pages and MS Office 2011.

Could not create the TimesTen database and load it into memory for the first time

Hi all,
I am making tutorial from http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/timesten/tt1121/1_creating_imdbcache_win/1_creating_imdbcache_win.htm
I've got problem on step "Create the TimesTen Database and Configure It to be an In-Memory Cache Database" - step two.
after command:
ttisql myDatabaseDSN
I've got only:
connect "DSN=inmemoryDB";
The connection should be successful but it's not. What could be the problem of it ? I want to run it on my laptop with proccesor Intel 5 on Windows 7.
on

Per your paste, this is the error:
9:28:30.65 Info:    : 4412: 7208 0000000001EBFAD0: No such data store
19:28:30.65 Info:    : 4412: daDbConnect failed
19:28:30.65 Info:    : 4412: return 1 833 'no such data store!' arg1='c:\timesten\database\my_ttdb'
So it's trying to find or create a TimesTen checkpoint file with the prefix "my_ttdb" in the directory path c:\timesten\database. Does this directory path exist? Or alternatively have you unticked AutoCreate under the First Connection tab in the TimesTen ODBC Setup for this database? If you have unticked this, then TimesTen won't try to automatically create the database if it does not find any already existing checkpoint files, and will return an 833 error.
