Gate question: is this possible ?

I was playing a near-final mix today for a colleague, and he noticed an annoying (to him, at least) presence in the high frequencies: during a particular drum loop, there is a "double crash" on top of the last two snares of every measure (on the 4 - and). He suggested I make those crashes decay more quickly with a gate. Unfortunately, I do not know how to do so.
Gating an ENTIRE TRACK is easy, gating a specific frequency range within a track (in this case, say 6-12kHz) is another. Any suggestions? Could this somehow be done with the DeEsser? (I doubt it.) Perhaps the Multipressor?
To recap: I want to preserve the crash in a drum loop, but speed up its decay, without affecting the rest of the loop [much].
thanks!

Personally, if it were me in this situation. I would take the loop and edit the loop itself, rather than try to gate out any annoyances.
You could quite easily edit out the 'and' part of that beat and replace it with another section of the loop that does work.
This may take a little time, but you did say it was a loop and you could simply replace the entire loop sections in not much time at all.

Quiz question: Is this possible?

My company is evaluating Captivate for SCORM use.
My question is this:
Is it possible to create a project course with multiple content sections and quiz questions scattered throughout with the results posted at the end? Keep in mind that the user may quit and come back later to finish the course and remaining quiz questions.
I assume you would use a TOC and bookmarking. I just need to know if this is even possible.
Thanks

Quizzes in Captivate are always considered as one quiz, even if question slides are scattered all over the file. That is not a problem.
Bookmarking is normally turned on, and since you will be using a LMS it is the LMS that will take care of that if it has that functionality.
I'm however not sure, should have to test it in our LMS that the Quiz attempt during one session can be continued during a next session. Intuitively I think that CP will send a score after each session.

Contract questions: Is this possible?

I've been on my aunts plan for almost 10 years. Now that I've finished school and got a teaching job, I'd like to finally come off of her plan when I start working this fall. I essentially have two and a half questions.
1. Is it possible to take my number off of my aunt's plan and start a new contract using that number? If this is possible, will I have the option of a new phone since I want to start a new contract?
2. Will I be able to keep everything I have on my aunt's contract the same on the new contract if the new contract is even an option?
Oh, another thing? What happened to all the plan options? There used to be options for 450 individual plans and then adding on messaging and data as you needed. The options I saw when I looked at the service plans seem like crap because they don't offer much flexibility.

1) You could take your number and assume liability of it, which will transfer it into an account with your name/social, on a currently-offered plan of your choice, and retain whatever contract (or lack thereof) you currently have. If you're standard upgrade eligible now, you'll still be standard upgrade eligible after the assumption of liability. If not, you'll still have to wait for your upgrade date to get a discounted phone regardless of whether you assume liability or not.
2) You'll have to pick from their currently-offered calling plans.
3) They decided to change their plan offerings for new customers. Existing customers can stay grandfathered on the previous plans or switch, at their preference.

Address Book Question -- IS THIS POSSIBLE ??

Is "appending" information possible to address book ? Or like a way to add info from one address book to another with out it deleting anything on the one getting updated OR with out making duplicates of the contact info(s) ????
Kinda like what we call a "incremintal back up". Like it is able to detect what is NEW info and ONLY save that to it while keeping all the old stuff on it.
Let me explain --
I got a tower and a laptop. Address Book (obviously) on both.
Sometimes the one on my laptop gets some contact info added to it, while the one on my tower does not get that info added to it. OR vise versa.
I want to combine the two and not lose anything and NOT have to do it manually. Because alot of info has gone down on both recently.
But at the same time they both have alot of the SAME contacts on them because for a while I was trying to keep up with them and I was manually saving info, then putting it into the other. But recently things have gotten too far and I can not remember which has what, when..
I NEED to do a incremental save/back up to one of them FROM the other one (combine the both with out causeing duplicates, or with out loseing anything).....
Please help.
Thanks -

Cool, I guess thats good enough... It will get the job done the way I want, so THANKS ALOT Mike !!
Problem solved.
I wish in the future though Apple makes it possible to do it how I was saying. Hook your laptop up via firewire to your tower, then Basically a one button click to "append only new info" from the laptops address book. No questions about what to do with duplicates, etc.... just update ALL NEW info. Don't touch old.
Thanks again though my friend, your reply was extremely valuable to me.

Printing question: Is this possible

Is there a way that the document can be set to print duplex via code
I have a doc that prints duplex but only if you tell the printer to do duplex. Most of the users just hit the print button and it comes out on 2 pages. What i would like to do is embed some code or some sort of instruction set in the document.
Thanks for any comments
Wayne

Several ways to do this -
(Option available only in LiveCycle Desginer ES)
From the toolbar menu choose "File > Form Properties ..." then choose the "PDF Print Options" tab. You can set the form to duplex in there (it adds an XML tag setting duplexMode to an integer value).
(Option available via script)
var myDoc = event.target;
var pp = myDoc.getPrintParams();
pp.DuplexType = <constant>;
myDoc.print(pp);
Where <constant> is one of:
pp.constants.duplexTypes.DontCare
pp.constants.duplexTypes.Simplex
pp.constants.duplexTypes.DuplexFlipLongEdge
pp.constants.duplexTypes.DuplexFlipShortEdge

Ecommerce question - Is this possible?

Hi,
If I have an ecommerce website, and also an Ebay and Amazon account...
Is there some way where the products I add to my ecommerce website will be automatically populated onto my Ebay and Amazon product list?
Many thanks.

I don't think so. They each use different data.

Is this possible to access arbitrary frame and to modify the mask?..

Sorry for a bit messy discussion title. Please, let me explain.
I have some experience in implementing video processing algorithms, but as our own software and never under AE. Now there is an idea to implement something for AE and first of all, I'm curious, if this is possible at all.
1) When processing the n-th frame, I need the full access to the data of (n-k)-th and (n+k)-th. Is this possible to do in general case? Or the only variant is to implement frames buffering during the first pass?
2) Our algorithm uses the mask as one of the inputs. But in contrary to the usual case, mask does not define an area of interest. In any case the full frame is processed, but the processing differs for different regions, depending on mask. In our software, it works like this: user defines a mask (and some parameters). Then effect is slightly modifying (let say – refining) the mask during the render and renders final images. After this user can modify the mask somehow again if he/she is not satisfied with what algorithm has done. Can I produce the same workflow in AE? The only way is using a drawbot (this means CS 5.5 and higher)? And what if I want masks to be raster images?
The second question in the framework of this one is how to do two video inputs for an effect (first – the video to be processed and second – the mask (grayscale sequence in general case))?
The possible workflow is that user provides trivial mask – lets say, the black solid. But even during the first pass effect should produce the mask, according to its sight to the video – so, it should somehow substitute the black solid with the sequence on black'n'white images. Is this all possible in AE?
3) Is this possible (should be, I guess) to implement multipass algorithms? How the preview works then, if I need, for example, to pass all the video length 3-4 times, to produce the final render?
I can expect that all this is solvable in AE, but may be experienced users could be so kind to give me some basic recommendation on how to do this. Looking through the PDF, which accompanies the SDK has not allowed to come to a distinct answer for the question: is this possible or not. So, I rely on your consultation.

hi Theofil Mulony, welcome to the forum!
in short, yes, what you want to do is possible, but some parts may be tricky.
and now the long version:
1) When processing the n-th frame, I need the full access to the data of (n-k)-th and (n+k)-th. Is this possible to do in general case? Or the only variant is to implement frames buffering during the first pass?
you can access the pixel data of any layer at times other than the currently processed time. this concept of getting that data is referred to as "layer checkout" in the AE SDK, and "wide time" is the name of getting pixel data at times other than the current.
the following thread discusses the difference between two methods of getting such data:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4033930#4033930
you can also look at the "checkout" sample project to see how both concepts are implemented.
2) Our algorithm uses the mask as one of the inputs. But in contrary to the usual case, mask does not define an area of interest. In any case the full frame is processed, but the processing differs for different regions, depending on mask. In our software, it works like this: user defines a mask (and some parameters). Then effect is slightly modifying (let say – refining) the mask during the render and renders final images. After this user can modify the mask somehow again if he/she is not satisfied with what algorithm has done. Can I produce the same workflow in AE?
masks in AE generate a matte by default. the user can turn that mask off, so that the shape remains, but the mask does not... mask. (you can also set the mask mode to "none" via API commands).
you can then read the "off" mask attributes and either render using an API command (see "pathmaster" sample to see how), or write your own algorithm if the API constraints on that operation are a problem for you. (and there are a few constraints on rendering masks in the API)
now. when you say "modifying the mask" do you mean you modify it's generated matte, or do you mean change it's defining vector?
both are possible, but completely different.
if you turned the mask off, and rendered it's alpha yourself, then you can modify that alpha as you wish.
if you want to use AE's generated matte of the mask and change the mask's outline shape, then you need to look into "streams" and the "mask outline suite".
the user can modify a mask's shape as he/she pleases, unless you lock that mask or otherwise sabotage the user's operation.
The only way is using a drawbot (this means CS 5.5 and higher)?
drawbot is the API for drawing over AE's interface in CS5 and up.
it's only a drawing tool. previous versions used OS drawing tools. that's all the difference.
what i think you're asking is weather you need to create the mask drawing/handling capabilities or not.
the answer is: you can, but you don't have to.
unless you need control over the mask drawing that AE's existing masks don't have, i would have used AE's masks and not create a brand new mechanism (that the user need to learn as well).
if you insist at creating a custom UI for drawing masks, the "CCU" sample project would be a good place to start the research.
(just don't come crying to me when you get a splitting head ache)
And what if I want masks to be raster images?
The second question in the framework of this one is how to do two video inputs for an effect (first – the video to be processed and second – the mask (grayscale sequence in general case))?
The possible workflow is that user provides trivial mask – lets say, the black solid. But even during the first pass effect should produce the mask, according to its sight to the video – so, it should somehow substitute the black solid with the sequence on black'n'white images. Is this all possible in AE?
by default, "effect" plugins (as opposed to AEGPs) get only one input - the image of the layer, post masks and previous effects (but before transformations).
you can put as many "layer param"s in your effect and let the user select any number of other layers, which you can the "checkout" and use as second inputs.
you can also checkout other layers without the user selecting them manually.
however, checked out layer results are pre-masks and effects. so if the user draws a mask over a black solid, you will not be able to read the "post mask" image unless the user pre-composes the layer with the mask inside the pre-comp. it's a common practice for users to do so, as many effects rely on a second input, and that's the only way to make the input pos-masks and effects. (so it's no biggie from the user's point of view)
in the same manner, you can read any layer's image and use it as a mask.
you get the image buffer, so it's up to you to decide whether to use the alpha channel of that image or the rgb (or any other method you see fit).
3) Is this possible (should be, I guess) to implement multipass algorithms? How the preview works then, if I need, for example, to pass all the video length 3-4 times, to produce the final render?
AE doesn't do multi pass rendering.
it actually can render arbitrary frames, in no particular order.
but as you already saw, you can access the image data from any time - of any time, so you can emulate passes.
if you need to fly through the whole sequence for every frame, that would of course be very time consuming and wasteful.
in such a case, you can try to do these passes only once, when effect is implemented, and cache the results.
look up "sequence data", to see how to manage memory specific to a single instance fo you effect.
but i must say that if you have to do full length scans of the footage, a couple of times over, and cache EVERYTHING, then you're in a bit of a problem in AE.
it's just not set up for such rendering logic.
not impossible, but highly inefficient in the AE rendering pipeline.
there is a lot more to al of the above, but i hope this gave you a clearer picture of how things are in AE.

The security questions will only be asked on the first purchase on a computer or device (though people have occasionally posted that they've asked for them when it isn't the first time) - I'm not aware of any way to change that. You can force the password to be required on your iPad via Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password set to 'Immediately' (the default is a 15 minute period during which it doesn't need re-entering)

Technical question: Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??

Technical question:
Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??
Here's a little more information on what I am trying to do.
I have a desktop computer with 4tb worth of pictures that has Lightroom and Photoshop on it. I also have a laptop with Photoshop and Lightroom. I would like to be able to edit those same pictures with their current edits that are currently on my desktop on my laptop. If this can be done, I'm sure I need to be on the same wifi network for my laptop to be able to access my desktop's photo library. I am technically savvy enough to map a network drive, but how do I get my two Lightroom catalogs to sync when I make a change on one of my computers? Would i be working only on one catalog? Or two separate catalogs that would need to be manually synced to the other computer? Would it be beneficial to put my lightroom catalog on something like dropbox?
I'd appreciate any information or tutorials if someone knows how to do this.

I do this by having my LR catalog and photos on an external drive that I swap between the two computers. I am on Windows and have the same drive letter assigned to the drive on both computers.
Because the photos are on a portable drive I back up the portable drive to another hard-drive every night or after important work, because portable drives are susceptible to damage or loss.

I just got my replacement phone from Warranty. The phone was on for just 2 hours and it crashed. I was told that motorola knows about this "possible" issue. I got a new sim, hard reset, If it can be done I did it. They are now sending me the same phone again. Number 3. I would hope this one doesn't crash but I rather have a different phone so I can enjoy using my account. The phone's most recent error was today. " Unfortunately, the process com.motorola.widget.circlewidget3d" has stopped. At least the error message works and it's polite. I told tech this and they could not answer my question or help me other then "let's do a hard reset" My warranty replacement is coming on Monday. Let's hope this one works. Anyone else havinbg the same problem. it says "such and such as stop working" on all sorts of stuff! Help! I want my iPhone Back!

I just did a google search on this issue. OMG, I got a ton of videos on this or similar issues. Each one says in some way to clear the cache, reset the data, etc. Why in the world would this continue to happen and they not do a fix that resloves this without having to lose or stop what your doing. This is a very long and constant issue it seems with Android phones as there must have been pages and pages of what I now call "Unfortunately" So I am going to pray that Verizon helps me out and gets me away from this issue and helps me go back to iPhone or try the Samsung.

How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums? Is this possible?

How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums? Is this possible?
That is about the best way I can phrase my question.
I put year/month/date at the beginning of a show, hoping for them to sort by date and I get mixed results.
Would creating a Folder within the Artists' existing folder that said "Pearl Jam Live", inside the "Pearl Jam" folder in iTunes Media help this "Date Sorting Issue"?
Thank you.

Or is there a way to go through aperture to make a new reference library that I can move the masters into later?
you do not move the masters into a references library - you turn your current library into a referenced library. As Terence Devlin said:
File -> Relocate Masters
What you should set up:
Select a folder, where you want to store your referenced files - probably on an external drive.
Decide on a hierarchical folder structure inside this folder - that is completely up to you.
Select a project from your library and use the command "File -> Relocate Masters/Originals" to move the original image files to the folder where you want to go them to. Only take care not to send two projects to the same folder.
Alternatively, if you do not care about the folder structure Aperture will use, select all images at once from the "Photos" view and let Aperture decide how to assing the folders - in the "Relocate Originals" dialoge you can specify a subfolder format.

Léonie

Hello! The question is this. In London, took the Iphone 5 as sim free, flew to Moscow put Simcoe, and he writes me that is locked to the operator O2. Can anyone encountered this problem? What to do? How to remove the Unlock?

<Edited by Host>

Look at your receipt. Does it say unlocked? It is possible to purchase both locked "sim free" and unlocked iPhones from Apple.
ONLY the carrier an iPhone is locked to can legitimately unlock it.
IF your receipt says that it was supposed to be unlocked, and it is not, call AppleCare. They should be able to straighten it out.
