Flex Time Component

Hi,
Does anyone know whether there is a built in time component
in flex?
Thanks.

Thanks Andrian for the quick response.
1. Yes, I need to be able to control the width and height of the media.
2. Additional traits (play, seek, time and audio) must be added to the SWFElement or a subclass.
3. Yes, a flex component built on top of OSMF or StrobeMedia would be great, not sure I answered this question correctly.
Ultimately, I need to be able to control .swfs just like video (play, seek, time, and audio) within a Flex application (Flex 3 at this time). We currently have a player that does this albeit not the best looking thing and we wanted to begin using the OSMF as it provides more flexibility than our current player. We have chosen StrobeMediaPlayback as we like the ControlBar and do not have the time to create the UI for a control bar
To add the additional traits, I used the NetStreamTraitNameHere as examples to add the functionality to the SWFElement. I was able to get the Audio piece working without issue as it does not affect the visual elements of the player; however my issues with the play, pause, resume and seek issues with scrub bar I am finding difficult to resolve.
If you need my project to take a peek at the rest of the code, that can easily be arranged.
I hope I have provided you with enough information to at least point me in the right direction. I have looked through several pieces of documentation and different examples online and apparently I am overlooking something. Knowing my luck it is something very small that I am just not seeing.
Thanks again,
Nathan

How to populate the time component of a cube?

We have a question regarding how to populate the time component of a cube. Let me explain:
We are using OWB 10gR2. We have created a cube with several dimensions. We are now building the mapping to load the cube. The cube operator has two columns for every dimension (e.g., "customer" and "customer_id" for the "customer" dimension).
We understand that, in this case, "customer_id" stands for the dimension business key, so we create an arrow from the business key in the source table to the "customer_id" column in the cube operator.
So far so good. The mapping works all right, and the cube is loaded correctly.
Now we need to do the same for the time dimension. We have already created the time dimension and we have loaded it. We have also included it in the cube, so now we have two new columns in it: "time_day_code" and "time", both NUMBER data type.
We have the "sale_date" column (DATE data type), in the source system and, of course, now we want to populate the date column in the cube. We suppose that, somehow, we have to translate the "sale_date" field into the numeric column of the surrogate key of the time dimension. How should do we do this? I suppose that OWB must do the translation for us, just as it does for the other dimensions, but how? We have been looking into the manuals, and we have found no explanation on how to go about this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best regards
Juan Algaba

Hi Juan
You are right this should have been in the manuals, checked and there is only a brief mention (Using a Time Dimension in a Cube Mapping section)
The identifier format should have been documented for each level and will involve creating the formatted attribute for input to the cube operator's time dimension reference attribute.
The time dimension business keys are stored as follows;
Day Level - YYYYMMDD
Month Level - YYYYMM
Week Level - YYYYWW
Quarter - YYYYQ
Year - YYYY
If you have a source that has a SQL date datatype for example and want to construct the key for a cube's time dimension at the day level something like the following expression can be used to construct the time reference from a SQL date...
to_number(to_char( time_key, 'YYYYMMDD'))
The result of this expression can be used as input to the cube's time dimension attribute.
Cheers
David

How to configure oracle 6i report server run time component with application server

we got oracle 6i report server for developing the web based reports for our undergoing product. we r succesed in developing the web based reports using oracle 6i report server.But we r facing problems while deploying the product with oracle reports at clients place,why because the client does not have the oracle 6i report server. To solve this problem we have to configure the oracle 6i report server run time component with application server at client side , but we are unable to configure this component(that is CGI handler).

You can run multiple instances of Reports Server in 6i.
In tnsnames.ora, for each server, have a different name and each listening to different port.
For example,
server1.world = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = myhost.mydomain.com)(Port = 1949))
server2.world = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = myhost.mydomain.com)(Port = 1950))
Also, if you want to know about Reports Server Clustering, you may refer to "Publishing Reports" document on OTN:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/reports/pdf/A73173_01.pdf

Flex Time with variable tempo not working correctly.

Hey,
Has anyone else noticed that Flex Time doesn't work as intended if you have variable tempo?
To clarify, I recorded a band playing their song and then figured out their various natural tempo changes and adjusted the Global Tempo Track accordingly.
Then, the drummer recorded his part to a click on that track, obviously keeping with the natural tempo changes that the band played to.
Quantization of MIDI works just fine, as in, it matches the increases and decreases in tempo.
However, attempting to quantize an audio track using Flex Time does not work properly.
I was just wondering if there is something that I'm doing wrong or if this is a known bug.
Thanks,
William

Thank you for your answers!
But there are several Problems using a dummy field in an IDOC structure. We have got a naming convension so that we can't create an IDOC-like structure named ORDRSP.ORDERS05.
But perhaps I am thinking to complex and there is an easier way to add a dummy field to an IDOC structure.
Could you perhaps also suggest a solution for that dummy field problem?
Many thanks and kind regards,
Steven

GarageBand 11 - Flex Time a real pain in the ****

Ok, in GarageBand '09 I was able to cut bits out of a MP3 file mainly from acapella but when I try do do it in GarageBand '11 I just can't do it because of this stupid Flex Time crap, it just keeps wanting to turn it on all the time and you can no longer cut out bits from MP3s I absolutely hate it. Anyone know what can be done yet?

Is anyone else puzzled as to what this zero line actually is. If I knew that it would be a lot easier to click below it.
The middle line in the track editor.

What does "Analyze audio for flex time editing" in Garage Band? It's taking so long(3 days)! and I can't shut down my pc.

What does "Analyze audio for flex time editing" in Garage Band? It's taking so long(3 days)! and I can't shut down my pc.

Did you ever figure out what was going on? i've got the same issue.
I record 2 hour choir practices then edit the talking out to make more useful accompaniments for personal practice. During my editing process my MacBk Pro (0r GarageBand) decides it needs to "Analyzing audio for Flex Time Editing". It will finish doing it and immediately start over again. I can not cancel it so I just have to force quit Garageband and lose eveeryrthing I have editied since my last Save. I've shut my mac totally off and rebooted and to no avail. Any suggestions?

Flex time and minor tempo adjustments

Hey y'all!
So I'm working on a project in which vintage analog synths were run through tape before being digitized and brought into logic. Because tape is tape, this introduced some drift into the tempo. Instead of it being a nice clean 120bpm, it's 120.0103 and I want to use flex time to slow it down by 0.0103.
So when I have the flex algorithm set to polyphonic (or anything other than "off") and I have my flex markers in place, I'm expecting to see that when I change the project tempo to 120bpm, the waveform turns orange, indicating that the audio has been stretched.
The audio is NOT turning orange and when I listen to it, it doesn't sound like any adjustments have been made. Is Logic just disregarding this tempo adjustment as negligible?? Or is it actually stretching the audio but there's just a bug in how it's being displayed?
Thanks in advance for any help y'all can provide!

is it actually stretching the audio but there's just a bug in how it's being displayed?
Logic is indeed stretching the audio. It's just not showing the color change. This is because the tempo change is so slight. You will notice the same thing if you drag the edge of the region to cause a tempo change to only this region. If you zoom in close in order to make a very small change, you'll notice that the color change doesn't happen as soon as you start dragging. The color change only appears after your dragging creates a change of a certain magnitude.
So it's the same phenomenon, whether you're changing the project tempo, or just changing the tempo of one region. The threshold seems to be about 0.5%. Is this a bug, or is it just a design choice? I think probably the latter.

Hey Guys, problem with Flex Time.

Hey Guys,
i have a problem with Flex Time. I was searching for a way to copy my 1-Tackt Timplin Beat to make 12 out of it, but there were always "wholes" between the new inserted regions. So i found Flex Time, but then when i choosed a Region, pressed the Flex Time button, nothing happend, except that the Header became a little bit bigger, as if there would been added a few more options, but there came only more free space .
Would be great if somebody could help me!:)

I would suggest Option dragging the bottom right edge of the Region so it fits precicely to the grid, then copy. This is a quick way to time stretch...

Flex Time error: Too many disk I/) tasks (Elastic Audio)...

I've been using flex time to take a sample in straight time and make it swing, but I've been having playback issues. I get two different error windows 1) Extreme compress factor detected during playback (Elastic Audio) (-10025) and 2) Too many disk I/O tasks (Elastic Audio). Also, I occasionally get a loud static sound when playing the sample. I don't have this issue when in Flex mode if I only loop the sample twice, but if I try to loop it more than twice, I'll get the errors and/or the static sound. At no point do the stretches make the audio color red, so I don't think I'm over-stretching or over-compressing the audio Is there any way to solve this? Does flex time have limitations to the number of markers used?

Yeah, the I/O error is because you're basically pushing it too hard, it can't read what you're doing fast enough to process it. I got this the other day when I was trying to use flex within a take folder over multiple comped takes.
If you want to swing the audio, why don't you cut it into regions, send it to the EXS 24 and then quantise the samples with swing in the piano roll. That way you're not putting so much pressure on the processor.

Flex Time Creates Random Pops

Flex time is creating random pops after just minor correction of a monophonic bass line. The pops vary depending on where the playback starts in the file and they are recorded into merged or bounce in place audio. No plugs on the channel either.
Bob

I am getting that exact same problem too. A bass line that after using Flex time on, would randomly get clicks on it. I think it's doing it to the guitar lines too.
What seemed to work for me was changing the Flex time setting from Monophonic to Slicing. It kind of defeats the purpose of Flex time, but at least it sounds right again.
Hope Apple fixes this soon!

Why does Oracle SQL query returning a date field without the time component

Hi,
I'm a novice SQL user & hv just installed Oracle SQL developer (Version 3.0.04, Build MAIN-04.34).
I made the same SQL query using "Oracle SQL developer" & "TOAD for Oracle 9.0.1" but I got 2 different format on the same date field:
On TOAD, I get the date field extracted as *04/26/2011 23:12:58*
On Oracle, I get the date field extracted as *26/APR/11*
Why is the Oracle result in a different format & missing the time component?
Is there any option/preference that I need to set in Oracle SQL developer to get the full date/time format displayed?
I've tried to set my the date format to DD/MON/RR HH12:MI:SSXFF AM under the preference -> database NLS but I still get the same format!
Plse help!

A Flex time success story

I posted this in the Logic Express section but it's also related to Logic Pro so I wanted to make sure users of Logic Pro who may not check out the LE section hear about this success.
I’ve run into some surprisingly great Flex results recently. I’m not a professional recording engineer, I’m a gigging multi-instrumentalist musician and home song writer. Over the past decade I’ve been recording on a Korg hard drive 16 track recorder. (Great home equipment for it’s time and expense) Unfortunately I no longer have the unit and the only recordings I have of those songs are mixes of the 16 tracks mastered to stereo. I play mostly Prog-rock and because some of the parts I played on some instruments were a stretch for my abilities some of the timing of some of the parts were not as tight as I would have liked them to be. Still I transferred all my songs to my iMac and Logic Express 9. (BTW Logic Express IS a serious recording program on par with Logic Pro in the majority of it’s functions, it‘s NOT just a better version of Garage Band.) My goal was saving these tunes and also to see if I could help the mix out a bit. I couldn’t totally re-mix because the tracks are mixed stereo and can‘t be separated but I thought I could tweak and compress. ANYWAY … a few songs had parts that were not perfect in regard to timing so I decided for yucks to try FLEX on these stereo tracks. Mind you I’m talking about ONE stereo track that’s a total mix down of 16 tracks from a prior hard drive recorder. I had the track analyzed and quantized It using polyphonic at 1/96 and I’m totally shocked at the results!!! I didn’t think the program would be able to help timing on lets say a guitar part without destroying a drum pattern played in the background or making something sound strange but it did it!!! I actually have a tune played in 15/16th with a LOT of odd timing interplay and Flex fixed all my little guitar timing imperfections without making the underlying instruments sound out. I don’t know how the program did that considering were talking one single stereo track with 16 tracks of instruments all recorded on the track but it worked wonderfully. HECK … I haven’t been happy using Flex and quantize on a simply kick drum part but the function worked wonders on a track that I thought was unfixable.
Anyway much of what people write are in regard to problems they are having. I thought I would share my GOOD NEWS with you for a change!

I also has this problem but it didn't happen when undoing a Flex Time edit and it only happens occasionally. I reported this a bug to Apple with the crash report. But the bug you have witnessed might be slightly different than the one I witnessed. Try reporting this bug to Apple via http://bugreport.apple.com/ and attach the crash report with it. The Crash Report is located at Library > Logs > CrashReporter. It will start with GarageBand and then the date. Choose the latest one. Attach it in the report (in the Configuration Information section). You should also include a System Profiler Report:
To obtain a full System Profiler Report, select "About This Mac" from the Apple Menu and click the "More Info" button. This automatically launches the System Profiler application. Once the System Profiler application has been launched please follow the steps below:
1. Select "View > Full Profile" from the File menu (cmd-3)
2. Select "Save" from the File menu (cmd-s)
3. Keep the format as 'System Profile'
4. Click the "Save" button
A System Profiler Report can also be obtained via Terminal using the following command:
/usr/sbin/system_profiler -detailLevel full -xml >mymachine.spx
This command will create a full System Profiler Report, named "mymachine.spx", which will open in System Profiler on another machine.
Please attach the file to your bug report (under Additional Enclosures section). Depending on how your ranked the report, Apple should see it within the next few days. Also note that even though Apple doesn't reply to your report doesn't mean they didn't see it. Apple's Developer section is always busy with bugs that they don't have time to reply to every single report!

Disco+ not getting time component on format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS

I have a problem with several fields that have an Oracle datatype of DATE, and which have a time component. Our installation is 10GR2. The first field is SEQ_START_TIME (names are changed to protect the innocent). Like the other fields under discussion, there is a time component, and I have verified that time is present using Oracle Enterprise Manager (e.g. 04-Oct-2006 02:47:27 AM ). I built the Business Intellligence items in OWB (about 100 items in 4 folders) and after being deployed to Discoverer Plus they are all working except showing the time component (only date appears). The format I have used in OWB, which was successfully deployed to Discoverer Plus is “YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS”. I also tried changing the format in the workbook and to no avail.
Any suggestions as to why Discoverer is not getting the time info? I have checked other similar postings but can't seem to solve it.
ak

Hi Russ. Thanks for your suggestion. The only NLS_ setting is as follows:
nls_lang = AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252 and I believe that is character set. I looked elsewhere in the registry for Discoverer and found a couple of things but not NLS_ stuff or anything that seemed related. Do the Oracle product wizards monitor these sites? The way it is not working does seem like a setting/parameter/flag because it does give the correct date but displays the 12:00:00 time component as if none had been assigned.

Is there a way to completely undo all flex time mods to an audio file?

I have an audio drum track that i thoroughly destroyed messing around with flex time and audio quantizing. I believe these are nondestructive edits, but i can't find anyway to get it totally back to its original state. Is this possible?
Thanks

No you can bounce in place and ease processing..
but thats still non-destructive cause logic creates a new file.
I'm sure our friend has a file about somewhere just doesn't know how to get to it
TXBDan are you looking for the audio file name thats the same as your region file?
If so than try remembering what the original file was called and look for that.
if you can't remember the name than try organise the files by date in your audio file folder and checking the files that were created on the day of the recording..

JTEAM please help:how to show flexible date in a time component

According to Steven Muench about How to handle Flexible Date Format on Feb 28,2001. I create the FlexiDate Domain and create a FlexiDate.class in the
howto.common package. Then in Employees entity on the Attribute Setting page I select Hiredate attribute and change its datatype from Date to howto.common.FlexiDate.
But in JSP when I edit a record the time component(LOV) only show YYYY-MM-DD and I can not select HH and MM. After select a day I want to append HH and MM by hand, but I can not enter HH and MM at all.
Another problem: I need to calculate interval between two time columns and get hours. For example the interval between 2002-10-10 12:10 and 2002-10-11 14:10 is 26.
Thanks in advance!

Geoff,
I recently answered this same question for you in the other OTN thread that you posted.
The specified item was not found.
If you have a follow up question on an existing thread, it's best to post a further response to that same thread instead of creating a new thread.
Thanks.
