How much time do you spent in Vocals Recording and Mixing?

I would like to know, how much time do you spent in Vocals Recording and Mixing?
I mean, you do doubles and then the are not that correct you record it again and maybe a third version and then you mix it, you cut and arrange some phrases and words so that it is in sync .....
How much time do you spent in this process until you say: This is enough! Because, somehow. you can always do more and try harder and do it again and try this ....
Thanks to all your comments

If it's taking a singer longer than that, they are not prepared, or it's just not their day
or theyre just so completely horrible to start with and have no business singing in the first place, hahahaha.
sorry jim, i couldnt help it:-)
the better paying and the higher profile the gig, theres really a gamut of singers youll encounter. theres a very well known pop artist i work with that honestly doesnt even get CLOSE to usable vocs until theyve been in there warming up for around 6hrs (takes them this long to get the four other very loud overtones in their voice down to about ONE very loud overtone), and you take takes on them just because you never know. (seriously, 6hrs) but you do it because it pays really well, whats a day of time when you get it back a few times over?? (btw, with this person, theres usually about 20-25 takes to go through when comping a voc, so make that TWO days:-( )
that would be my biggest gauge of how long i spend honestly, the money, unless i have a personal investment in it myself. youll know pretty quickly if youre in trouble or not with a singer. if theyre bad (pitch or timing) but paying well, i will rely on my skills in melodyne to save the day:-) i know what i can do in it and can hear what the singer can or cant do with their voice. sad thing is, the best singers usually arent the ones with record deals.
i know the money gauge prob sounds cold, but for the most part thats the deciding factor. of course there are times you come across real talent and take the experience of working and creating with them over the money, but MOST of the time in this 'business' we dont always have that luxury. plus if youre just starting out, i would take just about ANY gig just to be able to do it and gain the experience, you dont want a really important gig being your maiden voyage in melodyne:-)
i would also go with jims recommendation in melodyne. MD studio lets you use key commands to work (plugin doesnt) and its actually sounds better than the plug itself.
as far as mixing, i cant answer that, i usually dont mix. i will if im the last resort. i would be really discouraged if i couldnt get the mix in a day, with a relisten and tweaks the next day for a couple hours. i sort of mix as i go along just so i can hear everything in its place.
my 2 cents is done with now:-)

How much time do you get on video on I pad

How much time do you get on video on the IPad 2?

Can't really answer that. It depends on how much storage space you have. A 16Gb iPad will obviously have less space to store a video than a 64GB iPad.
The only limitation is your storage space.
At about 100KB per second you are looking at many many hours even on a 16GB iPad.

How much time an LCD screen can stay on and displaying images?

Suppose I'm rendering on the new '27 iMac, how much time the LCD screen can stay on and displaying the same image? (Like the desktop, or a very slow progress bar).
And, if there is a difference, how much time it can stay simply on and showing differents images?
I have to use a screen saver? (but it consume some power to the rendering) If yes, after how much time? And what kind of screen saver, simply black screen or somethig animated?
I have to turn off the display only? (but this can conflict with some particular software...) If yes, after how much time?
Thanks.

Is there a way of checking how much time has been spent on an Adobe document?

I would like to know how much time is spent preparing or completing Adobe forms for time keeping purposes. Is there any record of this in the individual document metadata, or anywhere?

Hi mikeq,
I don't believe that's something that gets tracked in your Acrobat.com online account. There are free time-tracking utilities, though. I did a quick Google search and found a number of them.
Best,
Sara

How much time would you say a 3 G I pad would give you?

Hi I am thinking about purchasing an I Pad with 3 G to take on a cruise so I would not have to depend on the internet on the ship. Is this worth It? How much time would I have if I were to purchase 2 GB from Verizon?

How much time do you spend on a shot?

Hi everybody, just was curious what is a standard time professional colorists spends with a shot, or is supposed to spend. Is there some expectation the colorist should accomplish, let's say 2 shots in a minute, in a professional world?

Concur.
Whatever it takes. If it takes a long time: a) hope that: 1. client can: i) pay
ii) appreciate the effort
2. you can use the grade again as a copy
3. its so awesome, its demo material
b) double-check you aren't up a blind alley.
c) consider moving on to something else and come back
If it takes a short time... are you doing enough? and why is this in color correction?
Seriously, there is a physical limitation to the amount of time that a colorist can spend on a shot and stay subjective -- its about 20 seconds. Its physiological, and its "color adaptation" and its an indispensable part of human vision. Not only does your eye-brain constantly adjust the Exposure Index of your retinal-register, its also changing the color-temperature. That part is called "constant color" and it updates your perception of what color things appear to be under different illuminations.
This is not the same as "metamerism" which is the phenomenon of different materials exhibiting different color renditions under differing illumination -- artificially-dyed hair looking lovely and blonde under incandescent but fluorescing green under halogen is one example.
A white sheet of paper under a desk lamp is still "white" to a human observer when it is held under a sodium street lamp at night, or at arm's length out in the park at noon in broad daylight. That is because your brain is taking care of it -- and this is particularly dangerous in grading.
It is one of the prime reasons why a user interface be as close to instantaneous as possible, and that the physical interaction between the grader, physical controls, software and display be invisible and intuitive. When the cycle of attention is broken, such as by looking back at a screen interface, instead of the image under correction, it can be good and bad. "Too much" detaches the colorist from the values, while getting fixated can be just as bad, and a glance away (at a suitably neutral interface or other display) can be beneficial to getting back to a subjective observational space.
So in summation, as far as benchmark clips/hour go... it has changed a lot now that NL grading is more prevalent. We are expected to go far faster, even when the work still progresses at the speed of human decision.
We used to think that generating media at a rate of 3:1 was good for "best-light dailies", loading film, getting a workable grade, syncing sound and laying it down to tape while logging the takes.
Grading an IP finished feature film was slotted into the schedule at 20 or so hours, give or take.
An A-List feature can take weeks.
An A-List international distribution commercial can take ??? minutes, hours, days....
But if you are in a shot for more than 30 seconds, at least go back to the shot previous and roll back in to see if you have the effect you want, and if its changing in the right direction, at least... then continue.

Is there a plug-in that tracks how much time you've spent in specific files?

I want an easy way to track how much time I've spent on certain projects. I really just need a plug-in that tracks how long files have been open. I'm having trouble searching for one like that; does anyone know if this exists as a plug-in or even as a function of Photoshop (or Illustrator)? This would be very helpful for freelancers. Thanks.

Found this link via Google. I have CS6 and it looks like this, don't know about CC.

How many times can you resend an iTunes Gift Card?

Tried sending an iTunes gift card to a @facebook account but the recipient hasn't received it.
Is it possible to send to another of their @facebook accounts and if that also fails then to a conventional account?
I guess my question is how many times can you resend on Gift Card and to how many different email accounts?

To use an iTune Gift Card to buy books...
Open iTunes on your computer and click on the iTunes Store.
You'll need to be signed in...
Click on the little House icon in the dark gray bar across the top. (or Shift+Command+H)
On the right side of the page under Quick Links click Redeem and enter your code.
Then it will show your credit balance in the dark gray bar across the top next to your account name to let you know how much you have to spend.
Then as you buy books, it'll deduct from the credit balanace.
There is a distinction between, iTunes Gift Card and Apple Gift Card.
Apple Gift Card: can be used to purchase Apple hardware and accessories at any Apple Retail Store, the Apple Online Store...
iTunes Gift Card: To give music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, or anything on the iTunes Store, the App Store, the iBooks Store or the Mac App Store, select an iTunes Gift Card

How much time on alternate methods of browser testing?

Here's a question for anyone who has done professional Web design on at least a part-time basis. I'm trying to help a friend decide whether to get an account with a company (browsercam.com) that lets you submit a URL and then see what it would look like using different combinations of screen sizes, operating systems and browsers. Apparently they use a "farm" of real computers to do this. It ain't cheap.
For those of you designers not using the above-mentioned company or anyone similar, what do you prefer for testing your CSS/HTML for compatibility with the variety of website visitors out there, including those with mobile devices - AND - how much time do you think you use this way in a typical year? Or month? The Dreamweaver Browser Lab? Testing it out on several computers you have access to? Sending the link to several people using different computers and smart phones? Something else?
Thanks!

I'm not a big fan of screenshot services b/c a still image of one site page doesn't tell you much. This may be OK for quick layout checks but it isn't sufficient for usability and performance testing. For that, you really must test in real browsers & devices.
I have current versions of the 5 major browsers installed on my workstation (IE, FF, Opera, Safari & Chrome). Plus MyDebugBar's multi-IE tester for checking legacy IE.

If you're specifically targeting a particular make or model mobile device, it's best to buy or borrow one. Given the staggering number of models on the market, it's not possible to check every one.

How much time take this applikation?

Hello,
I want to measurement the time, that a part of my applikation take.
E.G.:
int i = 3+4;
I want to see how much time this part of code take.
And then I want to print somethink like that:
The applikation take 0.02 Milliseconds to summate 3 and 4.
Thank and Sorry for my terrible English :-)
Josef L�th

Theorethically:long time = System.currentTimeMillis();
int i = 3+4;
time = System.currentTimeMillis() - time;However, consider that these operations have a precision dependent on the OS you're running them on, and that Java itself is not good at real timing operations. I suppose "time" will always be 0, since that sum operation will take just nanoseconds or less on every kind of modern CPU.

How Much time you spend

Hi All
I was wondering seeing you experts :) ... like N.gassparato.. billy... blushadow..michael.. cd.. danny... and a lot others..

It depends: Not enough. Or too much. ;-)
Personally I'd say I spend about an hour (spread over the day) reading postings, maybe a bit more if I develop a small PL/SQL / SQL solution for a problem that presents a nice challenge. "SQL and PL/SQL" is my preferred topic, followed by "OracleXE". I like the "Database General" part, although I'm not contributing that much there - I'm simply a developer, DBA jobs are not my daily bread, aside from my OracleXE instance which drives my blog. Learning something new from others, day by day, is what keeps me coming back to this place.
@sp009: Does your supervisor know that you're "here"? Personally I wouldn't want to work for someone who doesn't want me to improve upon my skills by using communities such as this one.

HT1807 In a foreign country you buy a card for air time, on the iphone how do you know how much time is left.

In a foreign country Panama, you buy air time so much at a time with a time card. How do you tell how much time is left on the iphone?

Depends on the carrier you are using the card with, They will have special # codes or a number to call

Ctios failover. how much time spent to to recover the ctios agent

on cce 7.5.x
using /load 0 to put agent on not ready after ctios failover. how much time is needed for agent to do a ready request?.
or using /load 1 (i think is the default behavior) this cause to log out agent. soo How much time must left to do a log in again.
any ideas?

This is what SRND Guide of 7.5 says
When the active CTI Manager Service or PG software fails, the PG JTAPI Gateway/PIM detects an OUT_OF_SERVICE event and induces a failover to the redundant (duplex) PG. Because the redundant PG is logged into the backup Unified CM subscriber CTI Manager Service already, it registers the IP phones and configured dialed numbers or CTI route points automatically. This initialization service takes place at a rate of about 5 devices per second. The agent desktops show them as being logged out or not ready, and a message displays stating that their routing client or peripheral (Unified CM) has gone off-line. (This warning can be turned on or off, depending on the administrator's preference.) All agents and supervisors lose their desktop third-party call control functionality until the failure recovery is complete. The agents and supervisors can recognize this event because call control action buttons on the desktop will gray out, and they will not be able to do anything with the desktop. Any existing calls should remain active without any impact to the caller.

How do I display time remaining in a captivate published video so the learning can know how much time is remaining in a video

After I publish my video it just plays but there is no indication of how much time is remaining on the video while watching. How do I display this

It is possible, but you have to know 'time' is bit different, depending if you are talking about the 'editors' time or the real time spent by the the trainee. Have a look at this old blog post, that tries to explain:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/display-time-information
Time can show on the TOC (editors time), and if you have a playbar with a progress bar that gives some indication as well, but both for pure linear projects.

While running the query how much time it will taken, I want to see the time

Hi Folks
I would like to know ... While running the query how much time it will be taken, I want to see the time? in WEBI XI R2.....
Plz let me know the answer.......

Hi Ravi,
The time a report runs is estimated based on the last time it was run. So you need to run the report once before you can see how long it will take. Also it depends on several factors... the database server could cache some queries so running it a second time immediately after the first time could be quicker. And there is the chance of changing filters to bring back different sets of data.
You could also schedule a report and then check the scheduled instance's status properties and view how long a report actually ran.
Good luck
