Find relative track time for external editor

In Logic Pro X,
I have a few audio files in my timeline, but not all of them start at zero.
for example, I drop a 30 second intro clip, followed by a 60 second ad read, followed by an interview
5 seconds into the interview, there's a phone that goes off, so I want to edit that interview file in IzotopeRX to see if I can remove the phone
my problem is, that in Logic, this phone call happens at the 95 second mark, but in the interview audio file, it's happening at the 5 second mark.
Is there a way to have logic show me that the cursor is at the 5 second mark in a specific audio file?
(I realize with these examples, the math is easy to do on the fly, in my real world use case, they aren't nice easy numbers like this)

The choices between psd and tiff for opening with external editor makes sense because they are non destructive format, jpeg is not.
What do you need to do in Camera Raw that can't be done in Aperture? All I can think of is a vignette and that can be done in Photoshop, under Filter, Distort, Lens correction.

When I try to open a project, the only option for a new track is for external MIDI device; when I try to open an audio or software instrument track, I get an error message saying that "the specified number of tracks could not be created. Reduce the number of tracks to create and try again." I didn't specify ANY number of tracks. Thanks for help!

Ah.. then I suspect you just need to go to Logic's prefs/Audio and check CoreAudio...
It has been unchecked somehow...
Also.. as an aside.. Be careful not to create such large subject names in future when posting here.. They can cause issues with replying to posts in such threads.. due to a bug in the forum software.. so please keep them short and to the point...

Lightroom 3.3 and New Preset for External Editor

I have a strange problem here. Using Windows XP Profesional, SP3 4gb Ram.
When I want to add a new External Editor, I open Edit -> Preferences ->Additional External Editor.
I set my parameteres, choosing Photoshop CS4...same as in the Edit In Photoshop CS4 section above it, except that this time, I want to change the Bit-Depth to 8-bit and the resolution to 300, I do that and save the new preset as "Photoshop 8-bit". All OK. I close Lightroom so that the changes can take effect (not sure if I need to).
When, in the Develop module, I find a picture that I want to edit in Photoshop, I right click the image (or Photo -> Edit In) and choose my new preset "Photoshop 8-bit".
The next dialogue opens, and behold...I get the standard Edit In Photoshop CS4 dialogue box. Clicking Copy File Options confirms that I am opening the file using the original Edit In Photoshop CS4 (the top option group in the Edit ->Preferences section). The bit-depth is back to 16 bit, and the resolution is back to 240.
What happened to my new preset? Why is the open file reverting to the original Edit in Photoshop CS4, and not my new preset conditions?
What have I done wrong? Solutions? It all looked pretty straightforward in Ms Kost's AdobeTV programme.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Image created for external editor is very large

I am new to Aperture. I want to send my adjusted photo to my external editor (Photoshop Elements), and the resulting image created has a file size 10 times my original RAW image size. This is before any additional editing in Photoshop. Why such a large file? There is no difference if I export as a TIFF or PSD. Is there anything I can do to keep the files reasonably sized?
Thanks.

to answer your first question, prints do not have an implicit bit-depth because they're no longer digital. the image is no longer stored as 1s and 0s. printers usually have a DPI rating (dots per inch) which is quite literally the number of individual ink dots that the printer can make in one horizontal inch and relates more to how sharp the image will print (at the extremes, consider printing something at 100dpi vs. 2800dpi). bit depth in an image relates to how many colors you can choose from to make your image. if you had a really low bit-depth, you might only have 32 colors available and to render a landscape. with 32 colors you wouldn't be able to capture all of the subtle shades of green in the leaves, especially if you needed to adjust the exposure up or down.
most on-line printing services will tell you that a high-quality JPEG is fine for printing and for the most part they're right! using PhotoShelter and their partner printing services i've uploaded and printed some of my own still life photos done in my studio. and the prints look great!
the problem with editing using a JPEG image is that if you repeatedly save the JPEG file, you're constantly re-compressing the image and over the course of several edits the quality of the image will degrade as more and more JPEG compression artifacts are introduced with each save (and subsequent re-compression of the image data).
so your workflow should involve editing uncompressed at a high bit rate, then export as a high-quality JPEG for upload to a printing service. however, if you're doing your own printing to a desktop photo printer, just print right from the edited uncompressed version in Aperture. either way, the results will be very good.

Multiple "Backup of ..." Entries In Finder / Related to Time Machine

I currently have 17 items under "Devices" in the Finder which are labeled "Backup of System". It seems like each time Time Machine performed a backup (or perhaps failed?), another entry was added. The list has grown over time, although I can't seem to figure out when it occurs.
Anyhow, when a Time Machine backup begins, near the top of the "Devices" list, an entry called "Backup of System" appears with the appropriate spinning animation showing that the backup is in progress. The 17 other entries will each have an eject/unmount button next to them, but nothing happens when the buttons are clicked. As soon as the backup is complete, the eject buttons go away. Clicking on the just flashes the contents of the finder, and doesn't change to any particular folder.
Why is this happening? I'd love to send along a screenshot. It looks like I'm going to have to reboot to get rid of these, since there seems to be no way to remove them manually.
I run PathFinder on this system, and for some reason, these entries do not appear under PathFinder ... only in Finder.
Any suggestions?

I have the same issue. It is directly related to time machine.
If you notice carefully, each time time machine goes to do it's routine backup, it creates a temporary filesystem under devices. What seems to happen is these filesystems don't get properly cleaned out after TM is done. I suspect it may have something to do with capacity on the receiving device (I have a 1TB time capsule that is nearly full).
It is annoying, and I'd love to see it addressed.

Settings for external editors, i.e. Nik

I have started setting up external editor presets for my various NIK Software applications.
But what I don't have a handle on is what settings I should use for such things as:
I'm just guessing on File Format, Color Space, Bit Depth, Resolution, Compression.
I've searched all the great Adobe tutorials but need a basic understanding what I should be striving for and when?

If you're publishing to .Mac put the Easy Grade Plus generated stuff (Guess it's html?) on your iDisk.
1. Create a folder in your iDisk/Web/Sites folder.
2. Name it something like 'EasyGrade' or whatever
3. Copy your EasyGrade files to that folder
4. web.mac.com/username/nameofthefolder/nameofthefile.extension is the address at which the file will be stored on the web
Example: http://web.mac.com/username/EasyGrade/index.html
However depending on the file format (what extension it has) it may not work on .Mac as not all formats are supported.

How to find the Response time for a particular Transaction

Hello Experts,
Am implementing a BAdI to achieve some customer enhancement for XD01 Transaction . I need to confirm to customer that after the implementation and before implementation what is the response time of the system
Response time BEFORE BAdI Implementation
Response time AFTER BAdI Implementation
Where can i get this.
Help me in this regard

Hello,
Within STAD, enter the time range that the user was executing the transaction within as well as the user name. The time field indicates the time when the transaction would have ended. STAD adds some extra time on using your time interval. Depending on how long the transaction ran, you can set the length you want it to display. This means that if it is set to 10, STAD will display statistical records from transactions that ended within that 10 minute period.
The selection screen also gives you a few options for display mode.
- Show all statistic records, sorted by star
This shows you all of the transaction steps, but they are not grouped in any way.
-Show all records, grouped by business transaction
This shows the transaction steps grouped by transaction ID (shown in the record as Trans. ID). The times are not cumulative. They are the times for each individual step.
-Show Business Transaction Tots
This shows the transaction steps grouped by transaction ID. However, instead of just listing them you can drill from the top level down. The top level will show you the overall response time, and as you drill down, you can get to the overall response time.
Note that you also need to add the user into the selection criteria. Everything else you can leave alone in this case.
Once you have the records displayed, you can double click them to get a detailed record. This will show you the following:
- Breakdown of response time (wait for work process, processing time, load time, generating time, roll time, DB time, enqueue time). This makes STAD a great place to start for performance analysis as you will then know whether you will need to look at SQL, processing, or any other component of response time first.
- Stats on the data selected within the execution
- Memory utilization of the transaction
- RFCs executed (including the calling time and remote execution time - very useful with performance analysis of interfaces)
- Much more.
As this chain of comments has previously indicated, you are best off using STAD if you want an accurate indication of response time. The ST12 (combines SE30 ABAP trace and ST05 SQL trace) trace times are less accurate that the values you get from ST12. I am not discounting the value of ST12 by any means. This is a very powerful tool to help you tune your transactions.
I hope this information is helpful!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
we need a custom report which displays All SLFN and its associated SDCR/SDHF/SDMI/SDAD messages in a single page.
CRM_DNO_MONITOR gives a messges in the form of a list. if we want to see the associated messages we have to double click on the message it open a separate window with the details. from there again we have to click on the Process Flow button to view the linked items or messages.
we need everything related to a one SLFN message in one single window.
Please suggest.

Performance Tuning -To find the execution time for Select Statement

Hi,
There is a program that takes 10 hrs to execute. I need tune its performance. The program is basically reading few tables like KNA1,ANLA,ANLU,ADRC etc and updates to Custom table. I did my analysis and found few performance techniques for ABAP coding.
Now my problem is, to get this object approved I need to submit the execution statistics to client.I checked both ST05 and SE30. I heard of a Tcode where we can execute a select statement and note its time, then modify and find its improved Performance. Can anybody suggest me on this.
Thanks,
Rajani.

Hi,
This is documentation regarding performance analysis. Hope this will be useful
It is a general practice to use           Select * from <database>     This statement populates all the values of the structure in the database.
The effect is many fold:-
     It increases the time to retrieve data from database
     There is large amount of unused data in memory
     It increases the processing time from work area or internal tables
It is always a good practice to retrieve only the required fields. Always use the syntax      Select f1 f2 fn from <database>
e.g.     Do not use the following statement:-
     Data: i_mara like mara occurs 0 with header line.
     Data: i_marc like marc occurs 0 with header line.
     Select * from mara
          Into table i_mara
          Where matnr in s_matnr.
     Select * from marc
          Into table i_marc
          For all entries in i_mara
          Where matnr eq i_mara-matnr.
     Instead use the following statement:-
                                   Data: begin of i_mara occurs 0,
                                        Matnr like mara-matnr,
                                              End of i_mara.
     Data: begin of i_marc occurs 0,
          Matnr like marc-matnr,
                                        Werks like marc-werks,
                                             End of i_marc.
     Select matnr from mara
          Into table i_mara
          Where matnr in s_matnr.

How can i stop itunes from finding duplicate tracks from my external hard drive?

All my music is stored on C: drive and backed up on an external hard drive. when I install I iTunes it detects all tracks from both sources giving me 20000 duplicates. I have tried uninstalling iTunes and then installing without the external drive plugged but iTunes still shows both copies, only the f: drive version has the ! next to it. How can I get iTunes to only search in one place?

Uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes doesn't reset the library. To that simply delete the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder. For completeness delete the other files in that folder and the subfolder Album Artwork.
Don't let iTunes scan the computer, or if you do disconnect all of the additional sources of media. Better not to scan and then use File > Add Folder to Library so you are in control.
See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suggested method of keeping the original and backup of your library in sync.

Long start-up time for Photo Editor in Adobe Elements 11

I am wondering why it takes so long for the Photo Editor, at the welcome screen (the introduction), takes very long; in comparison to Organizer? In fact, when I check Task Manager it has not yet responded. It takes close to 1 minute for the Photo Editor of Elements version 11 to start. I have an Acer V3 laptop computer operating on Windows 8.1; 8 GB main memory (RAM), 750 GB hard disk drive, A8 AMD processor. Thank you for your consideration, and any helpful advice.

Slow Startup
If you are not on a network, and/or you are not using an Airport, make sure that only your internal modem network port is active, otherwise the OS will test the other ports (Ethernet, Airport, etc.) for activity on startup, particularly if any of the unused ports are set for DHCP.
Go to the Network pane in System Preferences and click on the 'Show' pop-up menu. Choose the 'Network Port Configurations' option. Make sure that the Internal Modem port is the only one selected. (Of course, if you have your Macintosh on a network, or if you are using an Airport, you will have to turn on the appropriate port for these.)
Another thing that can slow down startup times is having your Mac set to check a network time server if you don't have a broadband connection (DSL or cable modem) to the Internet. In System Preferences, go to the Date and Time pane, click on the Network Time Tab, and make sure you don't have Use Network Time Server checked. This causes a delay as your computer connects to the Internet and looks for a Network time server to sync with. (This will also keep your Mac from dialing up the Internet unexpectedly at odd times.)
Another thing to check is in Applications /Utilities/Directory Access. Click on the Services tab, and in the resulting window, if you're not using (or going to be using) the various services listed, be sure to uncheck them. (That is, in the Enable column, deselect the checkboxes for NetInfo, LDAPv2, and/or LDAPv3.) Having them checked could lead to delays in start up.
