Help With Sample Editor...

I'm trying to play an audio file at a slower tempo (to study something) while not changing the pitch.
I double clicked the file in the arrange window, and highlighted a section of it in the Sample Editor. The options in the Digital Factory are all still greyed out however, so Time and Pitch manipulation won't work...what am I doing wrong here?
Thanks
Tom

Make sure the file is in an uncompressed format, like AIFF instead of AAC. You can convert the file in iTunes. This solved the problem for me when I ran into the same issue.

  • Wierd issue with Sample Editor...

    Hi again! More questions to use this program efficiently without pulling all my hair out... When I'm using the "time and pitch machine" under Factory in Sample Editor, I've run across an issue. I got a sample to loop accordingly Trimming off the rest of the song in the sample, then I Changed the BPM from about 240 to a new destination of 220 just to shake things up. When I did this, I wasn't too happy with the sound afterall, so I simply chose UNDO from the edit menu.....and now, there is an extra piece of the loop that was added to the end of the loop... that I can't get rid of! Undo can't undo? What gives?
    Secondly, It has a function to "pre listen" in the menu of the time machine... yet when I hold the mouse down to preview it... It simpy plays back the exact tempo it was originally without any change reflected. The Help file says some audio hardware it will work with... I'm using a MOTU 2408MK3, I figured this could handle a simple task. Anyone have this issue or suggest anything?
    - Thanks for all the help guys!

    logic need to improve on that, its been like this since it was first introduced
    it works well with short samples/loops and it works well with different algorithm
    so try all of them
    also you can turn your loops into apple loops, it works better sometimes like that
    the other choice is to export that loops and import it back again, so that logic can activate the follow the tempo on it

    that works if the sample is playing whilst you are dragging your mouse to move the blue ball around

  • Pls help with JTree editor problem

    Hi,
    I have a JTree where each node in the tree is a JPanel. In each
    JPanel are two JTextField objects. Only one of the JTextField objects
    is editable.
    When I click on node (a line in the JTree) with the mouse, it is
    painted using the custom editor (TreeCellEditor) that I have written.
    When the selected and editable JTextField has the focus, and when a
    certain key is hit, I capture that key, do some things, and then select
    a different node in the JTree.
    When selecting the new node, I need the node to be painted with
    the editor, just as if I had clicked on it with the mouse.
    In the method called as a result of the key binding, I call the
    following --
    TreeUI.stopEditing( JTree ) -- stops editing of the cell that resulted
    in the key binding call
    TreeUI.startEditingAtPath( JTree, TreePath )
    -- according to the JavaDocs, this should select the new cell and
    start editting of it.
    This last method does call my editor to get the components, but then my
    Renderer is also called (twice in fact). When the cell is painted, it is
    painted with the Renderer's components.
    PLEASE HELP HERE !

    Thank you so much for giving a reply to this problem.
    I will experiment with your suggestion. However, in looking at the JavaDocs
    I would need to make one class that implements both TreeCellEditor and
    TreeCellRenderer, with the methods getTreeCellEditorComponent() and getTreeCellRendererComponent(). Since currently, my editor is called and then
    my renderer is called, over-writing the editor's result, I would suspect that
    both of these methods would also be called (even though they are in the same
    class), having the same effect.
    Again, thank you.

  • Newbie help with sample Studio app. "Plain Text Editor"

    I'm trying to make the jump from AppleScript to AppleScript Studio, and because I want to eventually write a document producing application I thought I'd start with the textbook example "Plain Text Editor" included with Xcode. I think I see how menu items are connected to "Target/Actions," and I was able to build and run it without difficulty. It's remarkable how little AppleScript had to be written to produce a rudamentary text editor. But in playing with the built application, I noticed that the Revert menu item does not work exactly as expected.
    If you create a text document, and then make some change to it, and then click the Revert menu item, you get the expected little dialog asking if you want to revert to the most recently saved version, but if you then click the Revert button, the text displayed in the text view object does not revert to the original. However, something is happening, because whatever code is behind the Save, Close, and Quit menu items does seem to be "aware" that the Revert item has been invoked: because if you click one of these after Revert, the "do you want to save changes?" warning doesn't appear, just as one might expect.
    The Revert menu item seems to be connected to a "Target/Action" called "revertDocumentToSaved:" which sounds perfectly reasonable. But does the fact that Revert doesn't cause the displayed editing text to revert mean that (a) there is a bug in the code behind this Target/Action, or (b) that the writer of this textbook example just didn't bother to do everything needed for the Revert item to work in an intuitive manner?
    Whichever the answer, what would I do to make it work properely?
    It seems like there must be some sort of connection between the text view object in the editing window, and the Close, Save, Quit suite of menu items, because the behavior of these is dependant on whether or not there are unsaved changes in the text view object. But looking through the Inspector for this object, I don't see any, neither AppleScripts, nor Outlets, nor Target/Actions. Where and for what should I be looking?

    Dual 1.2 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I think -- and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong -- that this is a place where AppleScript Studio's implementation just isn't done right. Either they intended to add a "revert" handler somewhere and forgot, or else they meant to have it send an existing message and didn't.
    I haven't done any document-based applications -- heck, I've only dabbled slightly in AppleScript Studio -- so there may be a "deeper" answer to this, but you might consider just hooking the menu item up to send its "choose menu item" handler to your document script, and have it react accordingly.

  • Help with Sample 'Purchase Order' form

    HI Guys,
    Have been playing around with the supplied sample file 'Purchase Order'
    At the bottom of the form is a Part No., Description and Cost field that populate from a PartNoScript routine.
    Have been trying to copy this routine into my own form as its nearly the same.
    Question is  - There is a line 2/3rds down
      -  function getDesc(partNumber, descField, itemPrice)
    Where is the partName, DescField, ItemPrice store or located. I've looked in all the scripts, looked at the form fields and cannot find what these three relate too.
    I'm assume it must be the field name somehow but just cant seem to find them.
    Any help much appreciated.

            descField.rawValue = partDesc[i];          // Put the description in the description field

                  break;                                                                                // No need to go further if there is a match.

    Hi Dave,
    Just to recap:
    There is script in the change event of the dropdown that calls the getDesc() function:
    // Populate the description and the unit price when we change the part number.
    partNoScript.getDesc(xfa.event.newText, txtDescription, numUnitPrice);
    This passes three parameters into the function:
    xfa.event.newText is the new item in the list that the user has just selected.
    txtDescription is the name of the Description object in the same Row that the user has selected from the dropdown.
    numUnitPrice is the name of the Unit Price object in the same Row that the user has selected from the dropdown.
    So the function is going to be receiving three pieces of information: the new value of the dropdown; the object deference for Description; and the object reference for Unit Price.
    Now if we look at the first line of the function:
    function getDesc(partNumber, descField, itemPrice)
    You can see that the function assigns the incoming parameters to new variables: partNumber; descField; and itemPrice. These variables only live within the function.
    For the purpose of the script in the function:
    partNumber = the value of the txtPartNum dropdown.
    descField = the object reference for the txtDesciption object in the Row that called the function.
    itemPrice = the object reference for the numUnitPrice object in the Row that called the function.
    Passing the value of the dropdown into the function is fairly straightforward (txtPartNum/partNumber). The clever bit is passing the object reference for the other objects in the Row into the function (eg txtDescription/descField).
    The script in the function includes a loop, which looks at the array. If the selected part number is in the array, then it sets the value of the txtDescription object in the same Row, by referencing the descField variable:
    descField.rawValue = partDesc[i];
    Does that make sense?
    In relation to the dropdowns:
    You can access the scripts in the Script Editor (5), including enter event, exit event, etc.
    You can access most of the dropdown properties in the various palettes (6).
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • Help with sample schema

    Hello. I am reading a self teaching guide called databases demystified by andy oppel. In the book it says that a sample hr schema is used to demonstrate sql. It then leads the reader to download a free trial version of oracle personal edition from otn.oracle.com. In the sample the release that is being used is 9.2.0.10 it says that once opend to go to orahome92............I am a novice user and tried to download this and it did not work. I have tried to install this many times. Is there something that I am misssing. I read something about metalink. I do not have access to that so how can I use the sample download. Im sure that he would not put that download in the book if it was not readily availible to all to use. Could someone please help me with this. Do I need something special on my computer to make it work properly? Im using a reg household computer to study with and it is running one xp. Thanks

    First of all, metalink is a paid oracle support site. Unless you dont have support from oracle, you can't access it.
    Secondly, you can simply download the oracle software either 9i or 10g from the following link.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
    Once you install oracle software and then create database (if you are creating database through wizard, using database configuration assistant, you will have all example schemas, like HR and other). You can also find scripts to create sample schema on the following directory structure:
    oracle\ora92\demo\schema

  • FDS Test Drive - help with sample apps

    I'm trying to use the FDS 30 Minute TestDrive sample apps
    inside
    Flex Builder. I downloaded the test drive and all the samples
    work
    just dandy fine, and I can view the source etc. So I wanted
    to load
    some of the sample apps into Flex Builder so that I could
    modify and
    play with them with the debugger so as to learn more.
    I've tried the following:
    create New Project - use Flex Data Services/compile app
    locally
    Root Folder: C:\fds-tomcat\webapps\ROOT
    Root URL:
    http://localhost:8600/ROOT.
    When I click Finish, I get the
    following 3 errors in the Output panel:
    unable to load SWC fds.swc: multiple points
    unable to load SWC fds.swc: multiple points
    The definition of base class Locale was not found
    Could not resolve<mx:Application> to a component
    implementaion
    I am on Flex 2.0.143459.
    I've verified that fds.swc is indeed in the
    C:\fds-tomcat\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\flex\libs folder.
    I don't know what the other messages mean or what to do.
    I then stubbornly unzipped one of the sample apps into the
    FlexBuilder project folder (which I named FDS TestDrive
    Samples) and
    tried to run it anyway to see if I could get more info. I
    then get
    a browser window with the following additional errors:
    type Status report
    message /ROOT/FDS%20TestDrive%20Samples/Chat.html
    description The requested resource (/ROOT/FDS%20TestDrive%
    20Samples/Chat.html) is not available.
    So I guess one problem is that it is not making an html
    document.
    But I don't know how to correct that.
    I have no idea what to do. Any help would be GREATLY
    appreciated.

    Someone helped me offlist with this after I got frustrated
    that this forum is essentially dead. But in case anyone else needs
    this info, I thought I'd post. First you need to be on Flex version
    2.0.155577. So I had to redownload all of Flex, uninstall my older
    version, install the new version. Then I did the following
    to create the Flex Builder project for the dashboard sample
    app:
    File - > New -> Flex Project
    Select Flex Data Services
    Select Compile application locally
    Click Next
    Deselect "Use default local Flex Data Services Location"
    Click Browse... and open c:\fds-tomcat\webapps\ROOT
    Root URL:
    http://localhost:8600/
    Context root: /
    Click Next
    Project name: <Whatever you want to name it>;
    Deselect "Use default location"
    Folder: c:\fds-tomcat\webapps\ROOT\dashboard
    Click Next
    Main application file: dashboard.mxml
    Click Finish
    The Context root was really key. Also, to get my old projects
    back into Flex, I used file:import and then had to do a little
    additional fiddling with some of the projects' properties.
    Too bad this Forum is so dead. I've tried to get feedback to
    Adobe about that concern, but so far it hasn't helped. sigh

    Ok, the system has some DVD burners and a huge 120 mm fan heat sink for the processor and a 850 watt power supply as well.
    The OS 64-bit windows 7 is installed all by itself on the 500 GB Drive C.  I currently have the 4 1 TB samsungs on a Raid-0 for all project video files and other content.  After reading many of Harms posts I may just set them all up as stand alone drives and split things up a bit for performance.
    CS5 runs well with the Mercury playback engine, and when importing normal DV video from DVCAM through a Blackmagic HD/SD-SDI Decklink card off of a DSR-1800 deck works fine.  The issue I am having is when we use still images, or like when we imported some Mac ProRess 422 footage, the system will scrub through it fine but when you try and play the timeline it freezes.  I did notice an error shows up in the lower right corner saying frames were dropped.
    From everything I reaserched with this system purchase, having the Quadro FX 4800 was supposed to make everything run smooth and take out render times. This machine is supper fast for everything else but seems to have issues doing simple things with images that have been scaled in the effect controls.  If the footage is basic SD video edits no problem.  Still images are large sometimes, but nothing his old 2003 Pinicle Liquid can't handle after some render time.
    If the GPU acceleration is on, and I play the timeline, few seconds and then stops.  If I turn off GPU, and hit enter to have it Render, it plays fine after Render is complete.  Seems like something is not feeding the GPU/CPU the data fast enough.
    Any thoughts.  Is the Xeon not the right direction, should I swap for a Core i9?  Xeon rates really high on the CPU benchmark... Shows up as 8 cores due to hyperthreading.
    Any idea's would be great,
    Thank you,

    Update:
         I swapped my processor with the i7-950 chip and even though the windows Experience Index went from 7.4 to 7.5 on the processor calculations per second.  My scores are Memory: 7.5, Graphics: 7.1 3D: 7.1 Primary hard disk performance is 5.9 making that the total score.
         I will run the benchmark again on the system tomorrow and post the results of a chip change.
         I have not changed the drive configuration or changed windows services yet.  I talked to black magic tech support and he said that for SD video I should be fine with 2 standard 7200 RPM drives.  He was surprised I was having the dropped frames with the 4 disk raid 0.  He said to test in another machine just to see if the card could be bad.
         I found a utility on the machine that is part of the black magic software that tests the hard drives.  Here are the results:
    Boot drive.  It is a Seagate Barracuda ES.2 ST3500320NS
    Scratch drive Raid 0 array- 4- SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM
    From the numbers it looks like the Raid 0 is giving much better performance over the single drive, but why am I still having the problems.  The dropped frames issue is still happening so I am going to try to move the black magic card to another PCI-e slot on the motherboard. I may have to try another brand of HD-SDI input/output card.
    I am going to test the card in another editor that does not have an intel processor or near the specs of this system just to rule out the card or the hardware as I found this on Blackmagic website:
    15 March 2010 — Number 193
    Asus P6T series motherboards
    The Asus P6T series of motherboards are currently incompatible with all x1 lane PCI Express products from Blackmagic Design. This includes the Intensity series cards as well as DeckLink SDI and DeckLink Studio. This incompatibility is being actively investigated but a possible resolution to the problem is currently unknown.
    This incompatibility only affects x1 lane PCI Express cards from Blackmagic Design. Our x4 lane PCI Express products work fine with the Asus P6T series of motherboards and these include the DeckLink HD Extreme and Multibridge family of capture devices.
    UPDATE: We have been informed that this issue has been resolved with the latest BIOS update from Asus. If you're running into issues with our x1 lane PCI Express cards and your motherboard, please check the manufacturers' website to see if there's a newer version of BIOS that you can use.
    Back... 
    Now, I have the Asus P6T7 WS Supercomputer.  I did do a Bios Update today but do not know if the issue refered to in this support notice also applies to my model of motherboard.  The tech at BlackMagic did not seem to know about this issue.
    Does anyone have any other idea's of what I could be missing?  If it turns out to be an incompatible motherboard I do not have a problem with changing it.  I would like to know if anyone is having a successful setup using the Decklink SDI with CS5 without any issues of dropped frames on items that are GPU rendered.  If I turn off the GPU acceleration and have to hit enter for render it isn't an issue as the "preview files" created when rendered are smaller and easier to play from the hard drives.
    The timelines that have issues are using still images of 3-4 megapixel sizes that are being shrunk and moved on the timeline to fit in NTSC 4:3 output.  I could probably stop the issue if I resized the pictures to 1 Megapixel or smaller and used the smaller version but the yellow bar is telling me it can do that conversion on the fly.  Why drop frames??????
    Thanks, (sorry for the long post)

  • Help with Sample 'Purchase Order'

    Hi All,
    My brain is starting to reject my body looking at the sample 'purchase Order' form that ships with Livecycle.
    I have a form very similar to Purchase Order and I am trying to use the same format as the Purchase order on my form.
    What I have been tring to figure out is where are the stored values kept for the drop down lists.
    Namely the Text Part Number field.- Use name (txtPartNum) .  when you click on the drop down list there are several part numbers to which you can click and it autofills adjactent fields with the part Name and costs
    What I can not find is where those values are stored and how to change them. I dont think they are external from the form.
    If somebody could explain how this section of the form works and how it auto populates the adjacent fileds, I should be able to intergrate it into my form. ( Please remeber to speak slow as I'm still finding my way around )
    Many Thanks in advance.

  • Help with element editor

    I just bought adobe photo
    shop elements 8 i have windows 7 . i can not get the elements editor
    to open.  the organize opens but not the edit, i uninstalled and reinstalled and it still does not work. help i have a project i need done in a hurry thanks.

    Oh, you people are lifesavers! I just got a new notebook as my old one keeps crashing. Using Windows 7 now. I am NOT a techy sort of person at all. Started a photoshop class at the local community college and it was amazing, so I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop Elements and had the same problem as you. I spent many hours trying different things and learning about drivers, but nothing worked until this--I have a Dell printer and that is what I had to remove (as others in that thread had as well when they had same problem). Such an easy thing to do and one I wouldn't have known to try.
    Thanks so much, and I'll be editing away now!!! These forums are lifesavers, and I appreciate the posters willing to try to help!

  • Help with Text Editor

    My requirement is to show a text editor on the screen.allow the user to type in it. (Example  he type n lines). Store the content in D/B table. Next time i display the screen, all n lines should be displayed.Now if he enters m lines in addition to n lines ... then i should display n+m lines in the text editor.
    How can i do that.
