Line In Recording Level Adjustment

I am recording from a tape recorder to the hard drive. I have done this a lot over the years. Suddenly I am no longer able to adjust the line in recording level. I have always before gone to Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Sound (recording tab), Click Line In, then click on Levels. When I adjust the level, either lower or higher, it does nothing to change the sound level. Can aynone please tell me why this feature isn't working any longer on my computer. Could some other setting have gotten changed? Where should I look? Thanks!!!!

Have you tried to discuss it with mixer manufacturer?
I mean they know own product very well and have best experiences with it.
I presume they have tested it on different hardware platforms and different operating systems so I believe they are the right address where you can ask for help.
In control panel you have standard options for sound but maybe you need something specific for connected mixer.

C-Media Line In record

Hi there, just a quickkie. Has the O/B C-Media soundcard got an "auto" audio in level record? I have set the sound properties all through the C-Media device, and am recoerding from the record player to the soundcard. If I set the line in record level to "0", it still records well into the red on the VU meter thingy. Turning the output of the source down makes no difference.
I carnt see anywhere in the settings to adjust the Line in record level manually.
Cheers Chris

Thx reilly. I am using cool edit2000 to do the recording, but have tryed it with total recorder as well. When its recording the source, I can adjust the line level record volume (In windows sound prop), and the sound level from my PC speakers responds accordingly, however, it has no effect on the "VU" meter of the recording software
Its recording into the red, not by a lot, but when the record is played from the source record player thru its own speakers, theres no distortion in the "Louder parts" of the song.
When I have done a recording of the same song onto the PC, as a wave or mp3 files, its distorting at the "Louder" parts.
When recording, I have all the Volume levels in Windows on "0" in the windows sound properties. The sound card still still records the song tho, but at levels a bit higher than I'd like (distorts on playback on Louder parts), and that makes me think that there is "auto" line level record on this soundcard.
Can u suggest another recorder software to try out.
Cheers Chris

Regarding line item dimension

Hi all,
what are the necessary prerequisities will u take regarding line item dimension.
for eg., for sd cubes we r using sales doc no., i.obj as a line item dimension? why can't the other i.obj?
plz explain me clearly?
Thanks & Regards,
V.Vijay.

HI,
Line Item and High Cardinality
When compared to a fact table, dimensions ideally have a small cardinality. However, there is an exception to this rule. For example, there are InfoCubes in which a characteristic document is used, in which case almost every entry in the fact table is assigned to a different document. This means that the dimension (or the associated dimension table) has almost as many entries as the fact table itself. We refer here to a degenerated dimension. In BW 2.0, this was also known as a line item dimension, in which case the characteristic responsible for the high cardinality was seen as a line item. Generally, relational and multi-dimensional database systems have problems to efficiently process such dimensions. You can use the indicators line item and high cardinality to execute the following optimizations:
Line Item Dimensions
Line item: This means the dimension contains precisely one characteristic. This means that the system does not create a dimension table. Instead, the SID table of the characteristic takes on the role of dimension table. Removing the dimension table has the following advantages:
¡ When loading transaction data, no IDs are generated for the entries in the dimension table. This number range operation can compromise performance precisely in the case where a degenerated dimension is involved.
¡ A table- having a very large cardinality- is removed from the star schema. As a result, the SQL-based queries are simpler. In many cases, the database optimizer can choose better execution plans.
Nevertheless, it also has a disadvantage: A dimension marked as a line item cannot subsequently include additional characteristics. This is only possible with normal dimensions.
High Cardinality
If your dim table size exceeds the 20% of your fact table then you can say it as high cardinality, for ex: your fact table contains 100 records and your customer dimension contains 25 records means this dim is with high cardinality. you can check with your client for the expected records for those dimensions or for the info objects which you define in one dimension. to know the sizes of the dimension tables and fact tables you can runa a program in SE37 SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS, it displays all your info cubes fact and dimension tables with sizes, if any dimension exceeds the more than 10% to 20% it will be in RED.
It means that the dimension is to have a large number of instances (that is, a high cardinality). This information is used to carry out optimizations on a physical level in depending on the database platform. Different index types are used than is normally the case. A general rule is that a dimension has a high cardinality when the number of dimension entries is at least 20% of the fact table entries. If you are unsure, do not select a dimension having high cardinality.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/5c/d14d3c306f090ae10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
Note: In SAP BW 3.0, the term line item dimension from SAP BW 2.0 must a) have precisely one characteristic and b) this characteristic must have a high cardinality. Before, the term line item dimension was often only associated with a). Hence the inclusion of this property in the above. Be aware that a line item dimension has a different meaning now than in SAP BW2.0.
SAP recommends that you use ODS objects, where possible, instead of InfoCubes for line items.

Regarding line-item-dimention

hi,
plz clarify my doubt regarding line-item-dimention.
When line-item Dimensions are used without containing the line-item characteristic in the aggregate, which aggregate should be built?
thanks,
Neelima.

Hi Nl .G
Aggregates can be built out of other aggregates to reduce the amount of data to be read and, hence, to improve the roll-up performance Aggregate hierarchy is determined automatically.
In order to use an aggregate in the first place, it must be defined activated and filled. When you activate it, the required tables are created in the database from the aggregate definition. Technically speaking, an aggregate is actually a separate BasicCube with its own fact table and dimension tables. Dimension tables that agree with the InfoCube are used together. Upon creation, every aggregate is given a six-digit number that starts with the figure1.
am sure using basic aggreate will solve this issue..Try and let me know..
any furthur info you can read from the given link..

Setting the record straight for setting recording levels in Logic

Hey everyone,
I asked a similar question a while back and got some great feedback, but I'm still a little confused about how to set a perfect recording level and work with the fader in Logic. A lot of what I've been doing has been trial and error and I would like to ask a few more specific questions:
I record with a MOTU traveler and have recently, for example, been recording direct with my guitar into the MOTU inputs. I am using "pre-fader metering", which is checked, and I using "software monitoring", which is also checked. When I am watching the fader, what should I be looking for? I always have the fader set at 0.0db. How do I set the perfect level in this situation? Should the fader be hitting red as I record? How do I make sure I don't clip, and what should I be watching for overall? AND, is it all the same process when recording with microphones? I've heard Logic records at a low level with MOTU products, but what exaclty does this mean in terms of setting levels and watching the fader as I record? I have been recording a lot lately and have some good sounding tracks and some that are not so great and I think it has a lot to do with the topic of this post.
Thanks for the help and clarification.

the fader position in logic does nothing to affect the recording level. That is totally dependent on the gain setting on your MOTU. The logic fader merely allows you to adjust the level at which you listen to the material you are recording. If you set the gain correctly on your MOTU then you shouldn't see the logic audio object hit the red unless your logic fader is set higher than 0dB. If your logic fader is at 0, and you still see red, then your gain is set too high. Remember, digital distortion is not like analog distortion. Once you have recorded the signal and you are in playback mode, then things change somewhat. The internal headroom of logic allows individual channels to hit the red without causing audible distortion. You should definitely avoid hitting the red on your audio output objects though.
I haven't heard about low levels with MOTU stuff. My own 896 has three settings on the inputs - mic, line and fixed +4dB. If you have variable gain as well, then you should be able to get healthy gain. If your recording level is very low, then recording at 24bit will help a lot towards a more detailed recording, as 16 bit can get grainy if the recorded levels are low.

Filters at record level and filters restrictions at cell level

Hello Crystal Report friends:
We are aware that we can apply filters globally (record Level). We need to add additional filters(Restrictions) at cell level.How do we apply filters at a cell Level?
Regards,
Joe Gonzales

And along with what Ian said be careful when exporting also, some suppressed fields may export even though you have supressed them, so you are not removing the data, just hiding it. If the user has rights to edit the report they could "unhide" the info.
Depending on the version of CR you are using depends on the output, our export formats tend to change on how they work and what is exported etc.
There are Various DB tools from SAP Enterprise that has the ability to do row level filtering if that is an option for you.

Creative Zen V Plus Line In Record

Hi all
I am looking at getting a number of these for my workplace to use primarily as a line in/external mic recording device.
We have trialled a number of HD based recorders in the past; iRi'ver, Cowon but we have found the line in recording standard to be poor.
I was wondering if anyone has one of these and could tell me what the recording standards are like, especially regarding the volume levels of the line in recording?
The iRi'ver and Cowons both have line in recording but the volume level is so low it is pretty useless.
Thanks in advance
Tim

I use my Zen Nano Plus primarily for line in recording directly from sound systems. Line-in recordings are saved as MP3s and you can pick the encoding bitrate, either 96, 28 or 60. The recordings with the built-in microphone are saved as WAV files. I've found that for line-in recordings it's best to put in some headphones and check that the recording level (via volume control) is satisfactory. I've never used any other line-in recorders so I can't provide any comparison. Anyway, I typically use the free version of Wavepad to do an auto gain adjustment on the recordings. Hope I was of some help to you!

HP Pavilion dv7-1130us IDT HD sound card problem: recording levels too high

I have been trying to get the IDT HD sound card in my HP Pavilion dv7-1130us laptop to allow me to switch from "microphone" to "Line In" input signal. I cannot find an option anywhere in the laptop do this. There is not a separate Line-In jack on the laptop. The mike jack is it.
The reason I'm trying to change the input setting is that I am using Audacity/Lame (the Win 7-compatible Beta version) to convert old cassettes to MP3. My laptop came with Vista but I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) earlier this year.
The problem is that recording levels are way too high using the mike input and so the recording comes out harsh and distorted. I have tried all possible recording level adjustments on the tape deck (no option), IDT sound card control panel, Windows device manager, etc.
From what I am reading on the online Audacity forums, using a mike input will cause the recording levels to be too high, and the setting has to be changed to "Line In" and not "microphone." Is there not a way to do that with this laptop and sound card?
The HP Support Assistant tells me that the driver for my sound card is up-to-date.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. I've been trying to find a solution on my own for a couple days with no luck.

Hi Amanda,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52501-53000/sp52658.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

Difference between sales order schedule line and item level data

Hi All,
Could you please let me know what is the difference between sales order schedule line and item level data?
Thanks,
Ramya

Hi Ramya,
Sales order schedule line contains del date, order qty, rounded qty, confirmed qty, delivery qty, schedule line category, purchase requisition etc., ie It contains the full details of sales order data with respect to the scheduled line of delivery. The total quantity of a sales order item can be subdivided into schedule lines that contain the various subsets with the corresponding delivering dates.
Sales order Item level data contains details of the item in the sales order like material code, net price, net value, UoM, PO details, reason for rejection if any, material group,billing date, plant etc., ie this
contains the full details of item irrespective of scheduled line.

Record level lock on SAP ABAP table editing

Hello All,
I have a requirement wherein I need to give users ability to be able to update contents of a table. Currently, there are using maintenance view on the table for adding/editing contents of this table. However, this prevents other users from being able to enter the table and edit contents of other records within the table.
Can anybody please guide me how do I go about giving record level edit lock on the table instead of entire table edit lock.
Appreciate all responses.
Thanks and Regards,
Samta.

Ok
I have had a request like yours, i.e the users could manage the same table in the same time.
The standard behavior avoids it, because a lock of entire table is set.
This was my solution:
A) I've created a maintenance view for my table, and I set the attibute S (for subset) for all fields will be the key I want to lock.
B) I've generated the maintenance table program for the view above.
In this way if it try to manage the view by SM30, it'll be possible only to indicate the values of the fields for the subset, so not all data of the table will be loaded, but only the records satisfying the key.
C) I've created a program to run SM30 for my view, using the fm VIEW_MAINTENANCE_CALL:
.CALL FUNCTION 'VIEW_MAINTENANCE_CALL'
       EXPORTING
            action      = 'S' "Display mode
            view_name   = <table name>
       TABLES
            dba_sellist = tb_sellist
       EXCEPTIONS
            OTHERS      = 14.
As you can see above, the SM30 is always called for DISPLAY only, in this way no standard lock is set
D) I've use the event 19 in order to change the mode and set my lock:
DATA: BEGIN OF MY_LOCK,
          MANDT       TYPE ZPPTA019-MANDT,
          WERKS       TYPE ZPPTA019-WERKS,
          /TRILOG/SE TYPE ZPPTA019-/TRILOG/SE,
          COD_MOD_TAG TYPE ZPPTA019-COD_MOD_TAG,
        END OF MY_LOCK.
DATA: W_SEL_LIST TYPE VIMSELLIST.
DATA: VARKEY TYPE RSTABLE-VARKEY.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <MY_KEY> TYPE ANY.
LOOP AT DBA_SELLIST INTO W_SEL_LIST
    WHERE VIEWFIELD = 'WERKS'
      OR VIEWFIELD = '/TRILOG/SE'
      OR VIEWFIELD = 'COD_MOD_TAG'.
    ASSIGN COMPONENT W_SEL_LIST-VIEWFIELD
       OF STRUCTURE MY_LOCK TO <MY_KEY>.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      MOVE W_SEL_LIST-VALUE TO <MY_KEY>.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    IF NOT MY_LOCK IS INITIAL.
      MY_LOCK-MANDT = SY-MANDT.
      VARKEY = MY_LOCK.
      CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_E_TABLEE'
        EXPORTING
          MODE_RSTABLE   = 'E'
          TABNAME        = 'ZPPTA019'
          VARKEY         = VARKEY
        EXCEPTIONS
          FOREIGN_LOCK   = 1
          SYSTEM_FAILURE = 2
          OTHERS         = 3.
      IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
        MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE 'S' NUMBER SY-MSGNO
                WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
      ELSE.
        MAINT_MODE = VIEW_ACTION = 'U'.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
CLEAR OLD_019.
I hope it can help you

Audigy 4 Pro Low Recording Levels/Master Knob/OSD probl

I purchased a second-hand Audigy 4 Pro. I was not given the software disk but managed to install the latest drivers and get it to play MP3s. I use Adobe Audition to record my old tapes to MP3 and record my attempts at guitar. With my SBLi've I had no problem. I bought the Pro because of the ease of using the breakout box. However I have some quesions about some problems I am having. ) Since I have no Creative software, just Win XP Mixer I don't seem to be able to control the input levels from either the mixer or the box. I have a tape deck using RCA to Line In 3 and an electric and acoustic guitar to Line In 2. The mixer record levels seem to have no effect. I can record but nothing seems to be much more than -20db or so at most. Could this be because Adobe Audition only shows Line In 3 L (ie one channel only)? Could this be because of the much greater dynamic range of the Audigy 4 compared to the SBLi've Value? Do I need additional Creative software and if so what and how to get it please?2) The Master knob on the breakout box just spins round and round without sto
ps.
In other words you can rotate it in either direction ad infinitum. Is this correct? Pushing it in and out does cause the mute to work fine. 3) The help file talks about an On Screen Display associated with the remote. I don't have one when I use the remote, even when I press the Display button. Again, do I need Creative software for the remote? I have a yellow question mark against Multimedia Audio Control in my device list. ThanksMessage Edited by Dunkelmann on 2-23-200607:22 PM

Wow these forums still suck. You have easy questions and no one bothered to help you out. I registered jsut to answer them for you although you probably already figured it all out. . It seems that loudness is optomized by creatives own drivers. What you described was also true back when you could use the e-mu driver hacks before creative bought e-mu. 2. The master knob indeed spins for infinity, obviously with no effect once you get to either end. This sucks becasue i have OCD and constanly spin this thing all kinds of ways. THey should have used the same system as the line-/mic knob. Only God and the engineer will ever know why they did this. 3 Yes. The on screen display is pat of the creative media player app.
So to solve all your problems, you can get the full software package from creative.com under the support menu. Just follow the menu options for your device. The software requires that you have the hardware which you do so the software is free. One more problem you WILL have. The software doesnt install under XP. You have to enter windows safe mode and install it from there otherwise the whole thing freezes up during the start of the install process. Fun times!

Any option to restrict SE16 record level access based on company code?

Hi All,
I have a requirement to restrict record level access in SE16 based on company code.
Our SAP system has two company codes. The requirement is that users of one company code should not be able to see records of other company code in SE16.
Is it possible through some exits/badis/other methods?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arun Mohan

You could write a small front end that accepts the company code, applies custom authorization code for each value and retains or removes, then calls the transaction and enters the selections the user requested and that your authorization check resulting in "passing".... Of course, you'd have to block those users from "pure" SE16... I once worked in situation similar, users in one country couldn't see USA data, etc. I think someone wrote an entire new program, called by ZSE16, for that.

Product Request: Line-In Recording for Micro (or a USB Doo-D

I think the Micro would really benefit from that level of functionality.
There are two ways it might work, but I don't know the technical sides...
: the headphone jack is not just a source or dread; it's also Remote-Ready. This may point to additional input uses for the hardware, if there is the firmware to exploit it.
2: a line-in accessory could certainly be attached through the mini-USB jack. Again, the firmware would have to support it, but I would certainly pay for a doo-dad that let me record lectures and whatnot with an external microphone, not to mention the whole "record from a CD player" aspect, great for my numerous partially-scratched disks that my computer refuses to read...
Plus, a USB doo-dad would trans-product - they could be used with all the other players that use the mini-USB jack to transfer data. Anyway, a feature like that is too good to only feature in the N200.

I've just found a Yahoo! Group that discusses audio recording with Creative's Nomad Jukebox 3:
http://grou
ps.
yahoo.com/group/njb3tapers
So that's more proof that there's an interest in that. Maybe not as widespread, but I think one of the reasons the NJB3 was as successful was because of its recording capabilities, because as simple MP3 player it was too big, so it was the extra features such as line-in recording that made it stand up.
