How to deal with bass hum/noise while recording

I recently got a bass guitar (fender p-bass) and its
a little noisy. There is an electronic hum/buzz when
my fingers are not touching the strings. I had my
guitar tech look at it and he said the noise is
normal. However, I plan on using this bass to record
direct and when I plug into Logic this buzz/hum is
audible. If I turn the tone knob on the bass down
completely, the noise goes away. But when I start to
turn the tone knob up at all the noise get louder.
My question is if this is a common problem with
instruments (bass, guitar, etc) and is it normal to
use a plug-in to eradicate this noise (like a noise
gate, or something else)? Also, does anyone else have
any ideas on how to work with this buzz/hum? Thanks.
Hi JackQ,
I had some experience a few years back with one of these basses,same model.Basically,the hum you are hearing is a grounding problem.Your tech does not know how to fix it,that's why he said it's "normal".It's not normal.
You cannot get rid of that noise unless you do two things.One:get a reputable tech that is an expert on electric instruments,and ask him to solve the ground hum problem.It is not expensive to do so.
Second,you can do a "home repair" kind of fix,like this:Take a RadioShack alligator clip wire (the ones that look like little alligator mouths,that clamp onto anything)and hook up one end to the bridge of your bass,and hook up the other end to your body,preferably where you have a high pain threshold.This second option,will work,but I only recommend it when you are going to record,otherwise if you leave the alligator clamp on you for a long time,it will leave a permanent mark(just kidding).This also is the cheapest and most efficient way of dealing with the hum problem.Plugins like a gate or other are not going to make it go away,and you'll spend wayyyyyy tooooo much time trying to get it(the plugin) to work.
Cheers,

How to deal with such backround noise?

Hi.
I have one audio clip, recorded in the airport, and there's a lot of backround noise there, microphone is too far from the speaker, so there's nothing really I can do about it to take it away (except hiss).
But I've heard that something can be done using reverb. I tried different options and it seems promising, because my goal is to have the speaker's voice understandable, not high quality output. But I still didn't get what I wanted.
How is this done? Or maybe there's some other option?
Here's the sample. http://www.adrive.com/public/90859f4687438404025bdb9bde6470031e05dd71a3640a8a435048faef761 ed4.html
Thanks for help!

Hi Steve and Bob!
I came to realize that I really don't know how to play around with this NR effect settings except moving the noise reduction level here and there. Therefore haven't really used because getting too many artifacts.
Ideally you need a sample long enough to let you use the highest FFT number there is in NR
Ok, I found a place with enough noise and could capture a 24000 FFT point sample, using that gives a better result before it gets too hollow for sure, but at the same time I actually have no idea what is the best way to tweak other settings as precision factor, smoothing amount and etc. Also there's this snapshots in profile setting, is that useful to tweak also?
I will upload a sample with only noise, maybe you could try again and let me know what settings did you use. http://www.filedropper.com/noisesample
Is there some nice tutorials about in depth noise removal? I have been looking for them and haven't found much.
Btw. Maybe you could recommend me a decent microphone and recorder for recording classes, discussions? I really need to get something high quality to avoid such problems in the future.

I hava follow these step to write my code , please help me to pickup the misstake i had token.
(flex4.0 spring 3.6 strust2.2 **)
1. download the Blazeds file and spring-flex-core-1.5.2.RELEASE.jar
(org.springframework.integration-1.0.3.RELEASE.jar also include)
2. unpack the Blazeds copy the flex folder to WEB-INF

^^^^ and so on. I don't know how to deal with this problem!!!
Waitting for help!

The information you provided is totally useless for determining the problem.
If it helps, I think the message you are getting is related to BlazeDS not being able to find the service class you are calling. You either have a typo somewhere, or you didn't set up a secure channel in your service config (I am assuming you meant SSL and not SSH).

How to deal with deadlock on wwv_flow_data table when http server times out

There are some threads about a deadlock on the wwv_flow_data table. None of them contain a real explanation for this behaviour. In my case I will try to explain what I think is happening. Maybe it helps somebody who is hitting the same matter.
In my case with APEX 3.2.1 I am navigating from one page to another. Doing this APEX will lock the table wwv_flow_data. As soon as the other page is shown the lock will be released. But now this other page contains a bad performing query (standaard report region). After 5 minutes the http server (modplsql) will time out and present the message "No response from the application server" on the screen. In the meanwhile the query is still running on the database server and the lock stays on the wwv_flow_data table.
Normal user behaviour will be that the user will use the back button to return to the previous page and tries it again to navigate to the other page or
the user will try to refresh the page with the bad performing query.
And voila now you will have a deadlock on the wwv_flow_data table since a second session is trying to do the same thing while the first hasn't finished yet.
How to deal with it?
First of all. Have a good look at the bad performing query. Maybe you can improve it that it will succeed before the http server will timeout.
In my case the 11gr1 optimizer couldn't handle a subquery factoring clause in the best way. After changing it back to a classical inline query the problem was solved.
Secondly you could increase the timeout parameter of the http server. Although this not the best way.
Maybe it would better if APEX in a next version would release the lock on the table wwv_flow_date earlier or do a rollback just before the moment that the http server is timing out.

Hello Shmoove,
I saw your reply here and you probably understand the problems the HTTP 100 response may cause.
I am trying to send image that was taken by getSnapshot. The problem is that the server respond with this HTTP 100 message.
I suspect that the reason that my server doesn't recognize the file that I'm sending from J2me is that the "server to client" response to the 100 message comes after the second message of (see what the TCPIP viewer shows down here):

How to deal with "Error 1001. The specified service already exists" when install a service using installer package?

Hi everybody,
I wrote a "Class Library" project which is a service using Visual Stodio 2008 recently, then tried to use a Visual Studio 2008
Setup Project to install it.
Here is what I did for the "Class Library":
1. Finish the program.cs, Service.cs
2. Add Installer
3. Change the serviceInstaller so that "StartType" to be Aotumatic
4. Change the ServiceProcessInstaller2 so that "Account" to be LocalSystem
5.
6. Click in F5 (Start Debugging)
Here is what I did for the Setup Project:
1. Add the exe file built from the "Class Library" project to the Application Folder
2. On the Custom Action Editor, add the exe file from 1 to Install and Commit
3. Change the property of the project so that "RemovePreviousVersion" to be true
4. Click on F6(Build Solution)
Then I tried to run the msi file from the built of the Setup Project. Because I modified the two projects serveral times, I uninstalled the Class Library using "Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs" before I reinstall. Two things I notived:
1. After unstall, the registry was not cleaned up about the installed program
2. After several rounds install/uninstall, I got "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"
My questions are:
1. How to cleanup the registry when uninstall a program?
2. How to deal with the "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"?
3. Did I do anytbing wrong with the "Class Library" or the "Setup Project"?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Simon, not a problem!
I spent some more time on this and here are few more notes:
it is called Major Upgrade, when you are installing new version of the product upon a previous one and
MSI supports 2 strategies:
Strategy 1. Install a new version and uninstall previous one. (Install a new version right upon previously installed version (file merging is performed based on dll version number) and the delete previously
installed files)
Strategy 2. Uninstall previous version and install a new one (Delete all previous files and install from scratch new files.)
From the first look it seems that 1st strategy is weird and buggy. But, remember, MSI is great because it's transactional!!! That means that if once some of the phases (Installation, Uninstallation, Rollback, Comit) fails, your machine
will be reverted to the previous state and it'll be still functional.
Let's consider both strategies:
Consider you have installed product_v1.msi and you want to install product_v2.msi.
Strategy 1
1. MSI engine copies files from Product_v1 directory to TEMP directory
2. MSI engine merges files based on the assembly version (between v1 and v2)
3. Once merging is completed successfully it removes files in TEMP (RemoveExistingProducts action triggers it) and you got product_v2 installed, otherwise if it fails MSI engine revert machine to V1 and copies previous files from TEMP.
Strategy 2
1. MSI engine tottaly removes all files from v1.
2. MSI engine installs v2 files and if something goes wrong you cannot revert back, because RemoveExistingProducts allready worked out and MSI doesn't have files to revert machine back
I recommend to everybody to use Strategy 1 and leverage MSI transaction functionality. And you can set this strategies by defining sequence of RemoveExistingProducts action. See more info
here. So, I think it's not even a bug in VS as I said in the upper post it is default recommened behaviour.
AND, you got "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"
because if we follow Strategy 1 MSI engine tries to install Windows Service on top of the existing service and OF COURSE it fails MSI engine (StopServices, DeleteServices actions are executed before actual
installation and they look at ServiceControl table). In order to stop service first and delete them you have to fill ServiceContol table of the MSI (and then StopServices, DeleteServices actions will recognize what to they have to stop
and delete), like this:
*clip*clip*clip*
' see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371634(v=vs.85).aspx for more info
' Update the Service Entry to stop and delete service while uninstalling
query = "INSERT INTO ServiceControl (ServiceControl, Name, Event, Arguments, Wait, Component_) VALUES ('MAD_Service', 'Service name', '160', '', '1', '"
+ componentName + "')"
Set view = database.OpenView(query)
: CheckError
view.Execute : CheckError
' Update the Service Entry to stop and delete service while installing
query = "INSERT INTO ServiceControl (ServiceControl, Name, Event, Arguments, Wait, Component_) VALUES ('MAD2_Service', 'Service name', '10', '', '1', '"
+ componentName + "')"
Set view = database.OpenView(query)
: CheckError
view.Execute : CheckError
*clip*clip*clip*
We can uninstall service first by following Strategy 2, but then we lose transactional support.
So, Simon did I encourage you to change your code a bit?:)
And, btw, if you don't want to change the strategy, please don't rely on SequenceID in MSI table, it can be change, you have to get the at the runtime.
Hope it will help to everybody!

How to deal with java integrity??

How to deal with relation

Hi
I am trying to import two beans(TestBean and HelperBean)into my Web Dynpro project to create a model. These beans are dealing with a List(ArrayList). This List is considered as a Relation. I am facing problem in handling this relation.
I am having both the TestBean and HelperBean in the same package. Below is the code of TestBean. This bean is in turn calling HelperBean ,which is returning a List.
I am getting an error while creating model -
[Error]: There are one or more relations unresolved. Importing the model without resolvoing the relations might result in erratic output.
Code For TestBean
public class TestBean implements Serializable{
 private List customerList= null;
 HelperBean helper = new HelperBean();
 public void execute(){
 try{
 customerList = (ArrayList)helper.getCustomerList();
 catch(Exception ex){
 ex.printStackTrace();
 * @return
 public List getCustomerList() {
 return customerList;
 * @param list
 public void setCustomerList(List list) {
 customerList = list;
I am new to Web Dynpro and don't know how to deal with relation.Please inform if there is some solution.
regards,
Sujit

Sujit,
Not every bean becomes model class during import. So your HelperBean is irrelevant here. But you miss other bean, namely Customer bean. You must add it as model class during import, then select problematic 0..n relation and resolve it to model class Customer.

How to deal with Cash Deposited/Withdrawn from Bank

Gurus,
How to deal with Cash Deposited/Withdrawn from Bank for office use.
Here is the senario:
When Cash is deposited in Bank the entry is
Bank Main A/c Dr
To Cash A/c
and when Withdrawn from Bank the entry was
Cash A/c Dr
To Bank Main Account
Now my question is, How we will deal with these transactions while creating Bank Reconcilation Statement. As per my knowledge.
Bank Main Account Balance = Sum of all Bank Clearing Accounts.
If the difference occurs with cheques we deposit it or make note of issue while BRS, which effect the Clearing Accounts, But, How about Cash Deposit and Cash Withdrawn, coz these won't effect any of the Clearing Accounts.
How do deal with this.
please advice.
Satish

Hi Satish,
Through FBCJ transaction you can do the cash receipt / cash payment to Bank (Bank clearing Account). By using the Business transaction "Receipt from Bank" and "Payment to Bank".
Hence bank posting will happen in the Bank clearing account. As soon as BRS is done, it will hit the Bank Main account.
Hope it is clear for you. If my reply is useful than please assign points for the same.
Thanks & best regards,

How to deal with OpenCL grey out issue.

First off, I'm not native english speaker.
I have Nvidia GeForce 550 Ti video card, and its support OpenCL v1.1.
I'm also face a "random" OpenCL grey out issue like other people here, but I found the "issue" and how to deal with.
open a command windows (using WinKey + R, and type cmd <enter>)
type "cd C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)" <enter>
type "sniffer_gpu" <enter> -->> to check your GPU has OpenCL in Photoshop?
When GPU is in power-saving mode (core running in 51Mhz, using MSI Afterburner monitor), I running sniffer_gpu, got this report

OpenCL support !!
Nowadays, most of new GPUs were support power-saving, but when sniffer_gpu running at GPU power-saving state, the OpenCL computing report maybe "time-out", cause the detector "guess" the GPU does not support OpenCL. This is why many people says "OpenCL" sometimes work, sometimes grey-out.
I hope this bug can be fixed, or at least people can understand how to "enable OpenCL everytime when you launch photoshop".

How to deal with credentials for external applications using a Java Client/

Hi Guys,
This is the case. I am integrating an external application with an ADF Application. I have implemented some programmatic ViewObjects that are being filled up by a REST Java Client Wrapper. Everything is working fine but the issue is that the credentials the wrapper is using are hard coded inside the java class. I am thinking to ask for the credentials at the beginning of my taskflow and then store them somewhere and use them then to create my client wrapper (passing them in the constructor).
However, I don't know if my approach is good and I would like you to share your experiences or how to deal with this.
Regards

You can use Credential Store Framework to store the credentials securely in the weblogic server instead of hardcoding in the java class.
The Credential Store Framework:
- enables you to manage credentials securely
- provides an API for storage, retrieval, and maintenance of credentials in different back-end repositories
Check the documentation on CSF API -
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29505_01/core.1111/e10043/devcsf.htm
Major Steps -
1. Create a credential map and key in em console to store the password (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25054_01/core.1111/e10043/csfadmin.htm)
2. Use CSF API to retrieve the stored password
3. In jazn-data.xml give permissions to access CSF key and map

How to deal with payment of vendor to us (credit notes I guess)

Normally I use F07 for outgoing payments, it's linked to vendors, but how to deal with incoming payments of vendors?
We got paid two invoices(credit notes I guess) and I want to put them under the right vendor, but how do I do it?
I can't use F07 I think because I need to use positive amounts (for normal purchase invoices) and can't use negative amounts in this transaction. F08 is for ingoing payment but that session is linked to customers I thought..not for vendors?
How to deal with this kind ot transactions? What transaction can I use the best for payments like this
(we got paid an amount , no invoices yet, but I know the vendor).
